    I heard that America was populated from the north by the Canadians, and that's why your non too keen on them, Sibbling Rivalry and all that...,

    I think I understand why you speak the way you do, your trying to remember how to talk Canadian, right? Darn-Sarn-It!

    It's too late for you all, the Canadian in you can never be recovered.

    As for 6'6", My brother is 6'6" and he's too big and slow to cause me any damage, by the time he's swung his massive arm once, I've already hit him four times and am back relaxing in the easy chair.

    I'd like to see one of your so-called "Giants of the game" take on little Jet Li.

    America can be summed up in two words: NO HISTORY

    Canada! now there's a Country.

    "America can be summed up in two words: NO HISTORY "

    Depends on how you look at it though! I mean we are you and everyone else so therefor your history and cultures. So I would say America is the One and Only where you can see all cultures fairly and evenly throughout the country. We've got a little of everything here. And thats because of all of you. So when you insult some of our culture, you are inturn insulting your own, we borrowed the ideas from all of you...

    P.S. Sports have always been a nation to nation thing. Its all what you were raised around. So here its football baseball soccer hockey tennis (hate it) rugby yes there are small college rugby teams folks trefer to above staitment....anyhow you get the point.

    wallie_x, have you ever been on the recieving end of a rugby tackle ??

    Usually around 3 fat or frighteningly muscualr b**stards running at you like steam trains, in synch to pelt you into the ground (usually with high tackles too in my experience ie around the f**kin neck).. once thats over with you have to contend with the ruck, from which you will be lucky to emerge without boot marks tattoo's across your face or broken ribs from all the kicking and stamping that occurs... and thats WITHOUT the body armour you see fit to emply.. just a plain ol rugby shirt

    Glad to see you are looking to rile up the troops, but talking **** about Canada vs. the US is laughable and does not merit a response. I love Canada and most Canadians are great people, but with a Socialistic government, a population that is overrun with foreign outcasts and is a safe haven for the worlds misfits. Come on now-- Canada has great people (Canadian born), great cheese and great hockey-- The chicks sure are freindly and soooooo sweet!
    Canada is on its way to being George Orwell's 1984, but then again you might not be able to read that for much longer cause it is not on Big Brother's reading list!
    PS< I am headed up to the New Hampshire and Canadian border next weekend- there are lots of places that we can cross by foot and a few logging roads that we can cross by truck with no border patrol! Now that is SAD!
    Oh yea Strawbs , You don't get out much do you ? Where did you hear that **** and have you ever been the US--- I doubt it!

    Bigjak,
    They don't even broadcast rugby over here on the western coast of America, so I won't make pretenses, I don't know J.S. about it.
    Sounds like a rough game. I wonder why It hasn't caught on more over here then. A lot of Americans, love rough sports. That's why hockey is quite popular. But I find nothing 'sportsman like' taking your stick and nailing an opponent on the head with it simply because he might of cleaned your clock (legally) on the last play. That's chicken-sh*t in my book. Also, not all sports take physical size in order to be a champion. Who would say Lance Armstrong is not a Champion, yet he’s not huge.
    I said it before in different terms, but I’ll rephrase it. Gauging one’s masculinity, or lack of, in relation to the sport they like best is bullsh*t. My personal favorite is fishing and I do quite well at it. I couldn’t take the hits I used to be able to when I played sand lot tackle football as a teenager. I’m now in my late 40’s, but do I remember the soreness after a days play? Yes very much so, especially the ‘Charley-Horses’ from getting hit in the legs. I played running back and receiver. But I would never consider myself less a man if I didn't play or like football.

    And final notes: We just might be getting into a war together here against Irack. Shouldn't we tone down the B.S. rhetoric a little, eh strabs? The US did spawn as a child mostly from England. On the East coast English colonial culture still thrives.
    God Bless Good King George!! He actually was the catalyst that helped form this GREAT nation. God Bless the USA!!
    And may God Bless the U.K. (at least partially)

    I don't need to go to the US, there's enough of you over here and everywhere else in the world except home it seems.

    Anyhooo! where do you guys find the time to be on the net all the time, shouldn't you be outside heaping cow-dung against your wooden walls in preparation for the *Hurricane Season\Bush Fires\Earthquakes\Flooding* (delete as applicable). j/k.

    You're right Wallie, I was just responding to the criticism levelled by Sark.

    The Canadian thing was a shot at America's weak spot. I don't mean any of what I've posted here, I actually like the majority of the Americans I've met, and that is litterally thousands as I work with your finest on a daily basis, the accent is like having your T.V. talk back to you.

    They had it on a news clip last night, that both of our pilots have been receiving both missles and ground fire almost continually in Iraq. For some odd reason the news media over here wasn't talking about it. To busy pushing political propaganda for the left because it's so close to election time. Hope the BBC wasn't doing the same. Both our country's best are in harms way so we can poke each other in the ribs here on the web. Does make for good fun. Lets not let it get out of hand though.
