    Why ? Why do Americans make fun of Canadians ? Aren't they on the same level of richness, status etc ?

      Why do you put spaces before your question marks?

              Why do Canadians think Americans all call each other "buddy" ?

                1. They all seem so damn friendly. Go to a major city in the US and you probably won't find the majority of people that friendly. Maybe it's the lack of sun. 2. I question anyone who wants to live that close to the North Pole. I live in South Dakota and it's still too freaking cold in the winter. 3. You can't trust people who put an animal called a 'loonie' on their coinage.

                  Because in America "Moosehead" is a beer, in Canada it's a felony.

                    I know this is a repost but I couldn't resist.:-> Canada and U.S. were at war against each other, the Canadians were throwing grenades across the border. While the Americans were pulling the pins and throwing them back. I know but I couldn't help it.:laugh:

                        I went to Canada once and they kept asking me that... "So, why do Americans all call each other buddy, eh?". Or they would try and imitate an American by saying "Hi buddy, eh?". I started punching whoever said that square in the gut because I knew that, since they're Canadian, they wouldn't bother to fight back.

                          which is exactly my point ... why the (undeserving) superior feeling? What is it in you people that makes you feel superior to everyone else in the world?

                                      Because our population consists of people (or descendants thereof) who escaped from all the various ratholes around the planet to forge new lives in a more free and prosperous society. If all those other places had not sucked so bad we would still be there. Why shouldn't we feel superior?

                                        While I do not think Americans as a group are superior, I do think the US has some of the most superior qualities such as freedom of speech, free lower education, booming economy, the ability of the individual to do pretty much whatever they want (some restrictions apply).

                                          Because our population consists of people (or descendants thereof) who escaped from all the various ratholes around the planet to forge new lives in a more free and prosperous society. If all those other places had not sucked so bad we would still be there. Why shouldn't we feel superior?

                                          Who taught you history? :laugh: If I told you the real truth (not the sugar coated one your history teacher/parents told you) you'd probably loose all that attitude and cry like a baby and kill yourself coz you know you couldn't survive a day in the real world (World=Earth, World!=America)
