I heard if you get Cartoon Network and Playboy you go on a special list. Oh and Thierry its "we have 10" not "we are."

[Kzinti]

No, we are 10. We are a big family. Canada has 10 people, therefore we are 10.

[Maf54]

We are 19 implies that all of Canada is actually just a number.

[Kzinti]

Canada is singular. "We" is plural. Therefore "we" cannot possibly stand for Canada. Given the context, one can figure out that "we" means the people in Canada.

In our country, we learn pronouns in elementary school. I guess Texas schools aren't at that level yet.

[Maf54]

We are 10 means you are 10 (as in the number). 10 is just a number unless you put something else there. This has nothing to do with whether we means Canada or the Canadian people. In fact with normal English terminology "We are 10" means you are all 10 years old. You can make fun of Texas if you wish but it means nothing. BTW Who's dieing tonight?

[Kzinti]

Oh ok. You are probably right. Texas is still a shithole. Who's dying? No one here. What about your part of the world?

[Maf54]

No, no one dies in Texas. If Canada can be magical we sure as hell can be too. We did fight for it afterall. Too bad your home isn't worth a fight.

It's funny though that when we go to a restaurant for lunch they ask us: "How many are you?"

Then we answer "We are 5". And they understand that it means 5 people. Not that we are 5 years old. So I call bullshit on your reply and I claim I was right.

As for your last post, it just shows how much you know about the world around you. You don't even know shit about your biggest trade partner. And don't make me laugh with "we fighted for it". Your ancestors did, not you.

[Maf54]

What the fuck do you give us. Moose? Also I think that is because in your part of Canada people speak broken English. Maybe you can't understand this but people in places that have worked hard to get where they are are proud of their ancestrial past.

Ok, now without using google tell me what your major import from the US is? The broken english wasn't making fun it was mainly due to the fact that y'all learn Broken French and English so things are bound to get mixed.

[Kzinti]

We sell you mostly natural resources (wood, electricity, water, coal, oil). We also sell you wine, wheat, beef, cars and so on.

We import your crap.

[Maf54]

Crap, good explanation.~ I do not believe, however, that I eat beef from Canada. Mainly because its cheaper to eat the homegrown kind.
