Your right, I didn't get ALL of the comments.
Perhaps because I dislike stereotypes and treat
people as persons first, it was enjoyable.

You should have trusted your feelings.
It is funny only if one believes stereotypes,
and it also hits some 'hot buttons' that
would have been better left alone.

It's the blood line!

open-minded,

This was once the classic 'liberal' position.
Now it is the property of the communist/fascist/
statist left. (Well, that's what the left claims.)

Thats because some people keep calling
this place 'the colonies', so it must have been
us in charge during the 'colonial era' in the
far flung corners of the world.
(And before you get started, I wish we could get
out of many of the places we do not belong in.)

Not only do I live in a safe place, but
I can protect myself and my family if needed.
Have you checked the crime stats in the UK and
OZ lately?

Agreed.

It's true. I only know of thier works,

On the rare occasions I have a beer,
I drink Moosehead.

Outspoken without thought is equal to
opinions based on 'feelings'.

Drug dealers have disputes over 'turf'.
People have discussions.

This only proves the rest of the world is
lacking in 'sensitivity' and 'diversity',
something the U.S. has in abundance.

Yes, much better that about 150+ countries
in the world.

Even the WWF admits and uses the word

You may have a point here, look at what

Only in DC, and certain parts of Arkansas.

Don't take any of the reply comments personally.
Pressing 'hot' buttons always generated a reply in
kind.

Since U.S. citizens respect Canadian laws,
you do not and will not have a problem.
By the way, how is the national gun registration
going? Last news I had, lots of folks are not
going to obey. (Having seen the results from
OZ and the UK.)

Bye for now,
