THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FORT WORTH HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY... WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT SATURDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND RESULTING IN HOT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES AND LITTLE TO NO RAINFALL. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 105 DEGREES THROUGHOUT THE METROPLEX AND AREAS NORTH TO THE RED RIVER THROUGH SATURDAY. NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY FALL INTO THE UPPER 70S PROVIDING LITTLE RELIEF. A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. PERSONS INVOLVED IN VIGOROUS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES ARE URGED TO TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS AND DRINK PLENTY OF WATER OR OTHER NON ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. WEAR LOOSE FITTING AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING. BE SURE TO CHECK ON CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY AS THEY ARE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE. PEOPLE OR PETS SHOULD NEVER STAY IN AN ENCLOSED VEHICLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF EVEN FOR THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME... AS TEMPERATURES CAN QUICKLY RISE TO LIFE THREATENING LEVELS...EVEN IF WINDOWS ARE PARTIALLY OPENED.
It was 105 degrees here last night at 11pm. Sheesh, ya pansy, It will be in the 110s this weekend for me. Don't even ask what the mean-temp is down on The Strip due to all the concrete and mirrored buildings. Again I say, pansy :P
To the OP. I have NO hate for Canadians. Hell, my father is Canadian. That wouldn't work out too well since I respect my father quite a bit. I think the sentiment above about the "younger brother" issue really is the idea. We all love to take playful jabs at one another. Sure, there are people on both sides who pull out an arrogant stance, but that's part in parcel with patriotism and nationalism.
"What is it I have against Microsoft, you ask? Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."
If you mean "hate" as in sexually harassing, yeah kinda! It is just that to be considered harassment, the receiving side must be unwilling...sooo
They don't hate us anymore than someone can hate family! We made different choices, different rules, different society, and they are freaking jealous that we only have a border with them and Denmark! RaR! A border with Denmark (Groenland)! OMG, we aren't safe! I mean, these Danish folks are soooo dangerous! Come protect us!!!
They on the other hand have a border with: Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Russia. I bet they wanna trade our Denmark for these 3...NO WAY! Lovely Danish border is ours!

And we've gotten along so well with the Danish too *cough* Hans Island *cough*. Can imagine that made for an interesting meeting in Washington.

Your joke is pathetic but, your attempt at a joke is hilarious. French frys didn't come from France.
"...It was not long after this widespread embracing of the potato that some genius decided to drop slices of it into a pot of boiling fat. The identity of this individual is unknown; French claim it was one of their countrymen, while the Belgians fiercely hold that it was one of their own who first frenched a fry. Expert opinion on this matter is divided as well. Whatever the case, by the 1830's deep fried potatoes had become a popular taste sensation in both France and Belgium. It took another hundred years for them to become a fast-food staple in the United States."
So whether it's France or Belgium, whoever did it most likely spoke French, it doesnt matter though... You obviously failed to make the connection to the 'freedom fries', which was the the whole point of the pun.
Beats me why the hell i'm even bothering to reply anyway...
As a side note, i'd really like to hear these good reasons to hate the french...
If some country turned all of the people in my country fat i'd probably hate them too though. Who knows though, with all the McDonalds and Pizzaplaces everywhere we might all hate USA and Italy (and France for the french fries) pretty soon... Canada would clearly fail at this since their bacon, while well known, is simply not popular enough to create a nation of fatasses.

To me Canada is the United States without the military and evil corporatism that runs the country. I live about 4.5 hrs from the canadian border and when the annoucement for Martial Law comes I'll be crossing that border.
Maxim magazine thinks it's funny to call us "frostbitten retards" and all kinds of other things, (i actually wrote them an angry e-mail eventually and never bought another magazine, heheh) American comedian's and American TV shows have also sometimes gone way beyond playful kidding, and there was more than a few outbursts of anti Canadian sentiments on CNN, if it comes down to it i'll try and track down the video clips of the CNN stuff, i've seen em before and it was pretty foolish.
I think his question still stands, why the heck do some American's have an irrational hatred for Canada?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I honestly don't ever see any "real" hatred for Canada.
With that said, I think we do pick on Candad a lot and sometimes us yanks can be a bit abrasive in our humor. But I've always seen that as a tongue-in-cheek kind of joke. Like, Canada is so "unhateable" that its funny to pretend to "hate" it. Kind of like passionately hating bread and everything that bread stands for.
We probably should be more sensitive to brea. . . I mean Canada's feelings though. *crap* there I go again, picking on Canada.
Originally posted by mushalanwac Well i never understode why americans hated canadians so much and please tell me why u hate canada in here
well look at your politicians, a significant amount of canadian politicians bitch and bitch about what the US does, about how it has so many problem the US doesnt etc.
when in actuality canada even though more secure, with public health care, and no real enemies threatening them. Is a Lot more Sterile, is less likely to become more powerful, all it does is talk and whine.
when they compare themselves to us they dont realize that we have issues they dont that arent our fault.
when they say we have huge drug and violence problems they dont realize how much of a pain in the ass it is to share a border with a country like mexico that traffics drugs, weapons, and even children in some cases.
i guarantee if mexico ceased doing this gun violence, drug related deaths, drug use, and a lot of problems would cease to exist or at least scale down a lot.
and anyway who cant resist making fun of a country whos most memorable faceis dudley doright?

Originally posted by Jorev No No NO, you got it wrong. Americans don't hate all Canadians, just those silly French Canadians, since they are basically French and we hate the French for good reason. I think the rest of Canada hates the French Canadians also. They did want to become their own independent country after all.
i myself am a french canadian and well ur hard pressed to find a canadian that isnt a french candian because french is canada's second language

Why doesnt Quebec just break off into its only little insecure, unstable little country????
lol because my best bet is that canada would have to go to war.. or someone.. and take that huge chunk of land right in the middle of canada
also i know a few Quebecios and they are cool... only bad story ive heard is from my mom who went by there and got mooned by a bunch of people... even tho that happens anywheres she not going there again :P
Americans don't hate candians... They just dont like them. Also south parks' "blame canada" song can have helped much Plus the fact that canadians say "aboot" instead of about

lol aboot ive never heard someone say that.. unless they where like trying to talk funny or acting very stupid that day and well if someone said that around here i would hear tons of laughing(including my own)
LOL yep it will. I was the one who has heard it - me and the canadian were talking on a vid link about south park and I started singing the "its not a real country anyway" line - he said "what are you talking aboot" :P
lol he must be from toronto or some place like that.. because mainly only the people from tornoto say "eh" or stuff like that.... one time a cop pulled me over when i was riding my bicycle and he had said something like this"how are u today eh" or something like that but i almost cracked up at it
