Yeah I like how Canada is a bit nicer as a whole. Though of course, when I've gone travelling to the US, I always meet nice Americans, even if they didn't know we get the same television programs as them (among other things) XD >.>

A lot of Aussies recognized my accent as Canadian. And apparently, if while travelling someone mistakens a Canadian for an American, well that's not a good thing, while vice versa, it sort of is. The same thing is for Aussies and Kiwis, Kiwis hate it when they are thought to be Aussies, and Aussies not so much.

Oh there are plenty of nice Americans--some of my family's American friends are some of the nicest people we've ever met but... augh, I don't even know. :( When you hear about some of the stuff in the US it just makes me so glad I live in Canada--like all this recent commotion over a universal health care system and how the media is blowing it all out of proportion and so many people are believing it and going crazy and town hall meetings. I don't like to use the word but so many people just seem so ignorant of a lot of things. :( And the split between conservative and liberal is SO huge down there--like there's absolutely no middle-ground or something; instead of compromising here and there, it's all or nothing. I dislike that.

I... I don't even know the difference between Aussies and Kiwis. What's a Kiwi? orz. ;_;
 
There are three kinds of people in the U.S.:

1. Very nice, polite, and genorous people. Very little of these are left. 10% of Americans
2. Very rude, obnoxious, close-minded, self-center and idiotic people. 80% of America in these days. >:
3. People who are usually nice, but if you get on their bad side you're in for hell. AKA me. The other 10%.
 
I'm a mixture of 2 and 3. more 3 then 2.

Americans are good, i like japanese people better though.

Kiwis is a nick name for New Zealanders.

I'd wish people would elect or even try to vote for a third party in the US, not just wholy depending on the two.
 
My Art teacher was from Japan, he was so awesome. : 3 He's the only Japanese person I met though so I cant really say anything about Japanese people..
 
Ohhh, wait I did know that then. Though I still doubt I'd be able to tell the difference. v_v;

And I agree--the US should really have at least one more option. Two parties having a monopoly on everything really does just serve to create unnecessary divisions.

As for Japanese people... the only one I've ever really known was my aforementioned Japanese teacher who was super cool and would bring us back presents when she went to Japan. :>
 
Gwah! this topic is giving me a headache. can we talk about tv please, id rather not talk about politics and races for once.

Though i love japanese people.

The US does need more than two parties, however saying those two parties are a monopoly contradicts the definition of a monopoly by itself. A monopoly is when a single thing (company, person, etc) owns everything in that market. Like, if Apple was the only place you could get music players from that would be a monopoly. But if there are two parties then that automatically makes it not a monopoly. On top of that, monopolies are illegal here, in any sense.
 
I don't mean a monopoly in the literal sense of the word, I guess. :( It's more of a mutual monopoly? Lmao I'm making up terms here, I know, but atm, voting independent is basically pointless unless enough people do it. Most people won't because they want their vote to count so they pick one of the 2 main parties, effectively giving them (together) a monopoly on politics. If that makes sense.

I... think. D: I'm not entirely sure how your political parties work.

But I'm pretty sure monopoly can be used in that sense? o_O; I know it often is when describing the communications industry here in Canada because there are only like 3 main companies that provide that sort of thing here and they've got a legal monopoly on the industry because of it and consumers end up suffering because they get away with so much. v_v
 
We can talk about music. i always enjoy talking about my favorite songs-

'good girls go bad'

Jeez, people, get off politics. When you're a non-politician and are associating yourself with politics publicly, well...you're pretty much saying "someone please hate me for no reason". Somebody change the subject please. ;_;
 
You guys are either stubborn or masochistic, no matter your rights to maintain the topic. D:

...fine, no more politics for now.

But pro-tip to people changing the topic: you've gotta actually give us something substantial to talk about or else we'll ignore it. :(
