SCatlyn: I thought about adding Canadians to my "self-corrected" post about it but didn't really know if there were many(and thought I might offend Canadians by saying so).
However, I don't think he meant Canadians, as he was responding to these, the original question & one of the replies:
(It is nice to know that enough Canadians like us, or at least don't mind us too much, to come to the U.S. for warmer weather )
Nah, I doubt you would offend any Canadians, we're a pretty tough bunch. considering that we have to deal with winter for 11 1/2 months of the year.
I think he did, but that's from my perspective, and for me, I've always enjoyed the time I've spent in the US. I've visited 30 states, and spent about a month in OK, and loved it. It was my adopted state, until I went to Hawaii.

Albertaghost: I remember that night. Of all the rude obnoxious a**hole I've ever met, you were the best! Between the two of us we closed that town down.
Took me a lot of begging to be allowed back into Canada after that one and still working on getting them to shine up to you again.
Gimmie time.
But Albert, that would have made you thirteen at the time.
mnowsa: The world health organization (WHO), in collaboration with the FDA, has finally confirmed the outbreak of 2 deadly viruses called 'EHTWAU'(everybody hates the west and USA) and 'TWAUS'(the west and USA suck) among some people in this world. the primary investigation of these two viruses suggest that they both have some 'stunning' capabilities to cripple the mind and the power of reasoning of people. while the exact reasons to this kind of deadly outbreak are still unknown/inconclusive, it is feared that ill-educcation/lack of education, ignorance and hatred are the breeding grounds of these kind of viruses. Urging people not to panic over the deadly outbreak, the WHO maintains that all we need is to have some patience and open mind over the counter drugs to neutralize the effets of these viruses. the WHO also urges people to stay away from the drug "start a war' to counter these viruses because, while this kind of 'drug' can have some instant 'results' in short run, it can also have a very bad side-effetcs in the long run.

Anti American.....what does it mean?..... The term refers to broad opposition or hostility to the people, policies, or government of the US.... Is it a composite of stereotypes, prejudices, and criticisms toward America?...... Is it politically and economically based criticism? .....Is the term only justified if it's use implies systematic opposition to America as a whole?.... Why is it most (all?) discussions on Anti Americanism lack a precise definition of "what" the sentiment entails other than a general dislike of America?..... The term Anti American is being broadly used here and it is being used in an impressionistic manner....This, unfortunately, can often result in an inexact expression by the poster and a misinterpretation of the post by the reader(s).... As an American, I take great offense to the Anti American sentiment that seems to weave it's way through every thread no matter what the topic........ Since CS is an international site, I expected a certain amount of Anti American sentiment to raise it's ugly head, but I must admit I am shocked by how prevalent it is and, worse, shocked by the intensity with which it is delivered by some of the members here.....
