Well when you hear immigrants that want to go to the "land of opportunity," you don't think they mean Mexico or Canada, do you? No offense on Canada, I love them, but when people bitch about the Americans, it sure as hell isn't Canada or Mexico, now, is it?

Damn I love American journalists. :D
If you take a closer look at the site the article is on or read words such as 'favorite' in that article, you'll see the newspaper is in Canada, jackass. Who's laughing now? :twisted:

Why are you always so defensive when someone makes fun of americans? Dont you consider yourself different from all of the morons in this country?


Just because he disses some idiot doesnt mean he is dissing every american man. No need to call him a jackass either. What the fuck.

I edited this post a bit cause I realized that my post wouldn't help anyone anyways.

And I wasn't trying to diss Blackend, excuse me if you got insulted in anyways. I can make fun of the stereotypes, even stereotypes of Finns, and not trying to get a certain person to get pissed.

I'm sorry that this is going really off-topic. Does this conversation meet the criteria of a flame war? :P We should have an own section for them.

Jesus people, learn to make separate topics! Blackend, stop shitting in other topics already.

The bottom line is this was a good article, which presents footbag as a legit sport that looks fun. Props to Jorden for getting the exposure for himself and the sport.

It's cool, I wasn't trying to diss you, either, which is why I have an evil smiley after jackass. If I was trying to piss you off, I'd probably be more flamboyant about it. But, I do get tired of everybody making some sort of insipid remark about "Americans this" and "Americans that." I felt it was necessary to point out that the journalist was Canadian, not American. :x Sorry if it got mixed up that I was pissed at you or anything.

Edit: Ken, would it make you feel better if I sent you a lump of shit in the mail?

Edit: Henry, shut your cryhole. You weren't involved in this and you shouldn't even be involved in it. So, mind your own business.

Nice article - props Jorden.

Please lets keep things civil. If you disagree with somebody you can respond in a mature and sensible manner rather than trying your best to sound like a wanker. I will start editing posts in this topic if I think they are out of hand.

Very nice coverage of footbag there, props to Jorden!

OT: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_the_word_American. American can mean either 'of the United States of America' or 'of Americas', where Americas means North, Central and South America combined. So Sniikeri was basically right and the Machine's attack was unfounded.

Yeah. Everyone except probably you. I don't like anything about you. I don't like your jerkoff name; I don't like your jerkoff face; and I don't like you...jerkoff. Just kidding. :P

sorry this is another off topic post but didn't I get in trouble from a Canadian on this forum a while ago for calling people from the US "Americans" and some Canadian said that I should be more specific because that could mean anybody from the whole Americas (usually Peru). Does anybody else remember this? Want to go find the topic I'm talking about? Of course since Canadians are just like Borg only sexier I am assuming that you all think the same ;)
