OF COURSE..... It amazes me that Americans have such a limited knowledge of international events in other countries. Cricket, Formula racing, offroad, Japanese baseball, never mind the amount of horse betting going on outside the USA, and on and on.....
Lets see if TheRX can educate some Americans on what the rest of the world does to wager. the NFL is not the biggest wagering event in the world (can anyone say soccer). The player end up with more options, the Bookies take more action and maybe a few yankees will know where the borders of other counties are that they have not bombed yet.
CANADA is zeeeee BEST

and some yankee humour:
An Indian moved into an American neighborhood; the American next door went to wish him welcome. He was shocked to see the man from India in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad. "Must be an Indian custom," he thought to himself.
Deciding he could put off the welcome till a later date, he went home. The next day, he decided he was going to welcome the Indian man again. When he looked through his window, he saw the Indian man urinate into a cup and drink it. "Must be an Indian custom," he thought to himself.
Deciding he could put off the welcome till tomorrow, he went on with otherstuff. The third day, he was determined he had to welcome the Indian man. At his gate, he saw the Indian man with his ear pressed against a cow's big fat butt. He became angry and went up to the Indian man.
"I'm sorry sir, I did want to wish you a welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Indian customs!" He yelled in the Indian man's face.
The Indian man looked confused and answered. "Sorry sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually American customs. I was told, to be American, you have to:
"chasechicks, get piss drunk, and listen to bullshit."
WELCOME TO AMERICA

Things Canadians are proud of...
Smarties.
Crispy Crunch.
Coffee Crisp.
The footballs and fields are bigger, and we have one less Down.
Lacrosse is Canadian.
Hockey is Canadian.
Basketball is Canadian.
The biggest flags ever seen/flown at any Olympics were Canadian... The second time it was smuggled in because they made a rule against it cause of the first time.
Mr. Dress-up can kick Mr. Rogers ass.
Much Music kicks MTV's ass.
Maple syrup kicks Mrs. Butterworths ass
(...don't know about Aunt Jemima though).
Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin Donuts ass.
Waaaay better beer commercials/contests and beer company give a ways. Example: the Molson Canadian House Party...where you get to keep the house. Trashed or not.
In the war of 1812, we pushed the Americans so far back... passed their 'White House', burned it...and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away so we came home and partied. Go figure.
Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany.
The largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war.
The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing... but showed up just in time to get caught.
We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.
The Hudson's Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earths surface and is still around as the worlds oldest company.
The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes.
We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.
The Canadian Civil War was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.
We don't marry our kin-folk.
We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, velcro, zippers, zambonis, the long distance and short wave radios that save countless lives each year. Oh yeah...and the handles on beer cases big enough to fit your hands with mitts on.
We can hum the tune to 'Definition'.
We all know that a scale that measures boiling water at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 is asinine.
We've ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it.
We can out drink Americans in a heart beat!!
Our elections take only one day.

I've never thought that the average American was insecure - maybe a little stupid, but not insecure. They decorate their double wides with pride.

I like my Canadian friends but there is one thing that I can promise you. Anywhere in the world you strike up a conversation with a Canadian, they will at some point in the conversation pull out their list of "interesting facts you didn't know about Canada" I don't believe I have ever spoken to a Canadian that didn't have his or her little list handy.
Anyways, I'm not American or Canadian originally and there isn't a huge difference between you two. Some of you are assholes and some aren't. That can pretty much sum up all pissing contests.

Well Canadians and Americans are not as culturally different as Chinese and Japanese. Not even close.
The differences between Canadians and Americans are very subtle ones. Anyways, BOTH Canada and the U.S. are not unique cultures and/or ethnic groups. It's just a label on a passport or tax return.

Better said, you can out drink northern Americans. There are many areas in the south that don't consume any beer but seem to live off that moonshine crap that's about 130-proof. That being said, I'm not sure if that's something that should give you a patriotic hard-on. To each his own, I suppose.
