That is no urban myth as I have personally witnessed it and was told by
the Americans that they get treated better when the Europeans think we
are from Canada. It is not our fault that we have a better rep than
Americans.


Maybe they just feel sorry for you.

To be honest I kind of got that impression from the number of Americans who took
refuge behind a Cdn flag on their packs etc.


Get over yourself you stupid moose ****er. Repeating that idiotic
urban myth is not going to make it any more true than when the first
flannel shirt wearing drunken moron from CanaDuh pulled it out of his
ass after stumbling over the snow bank where he clubbed a baby seal.
Oh and that dutch clog **** who wanted to shake your hand so badly was
only trying to nick your watch until he discovered it was a 10 dollar
Hong Kong knock off.


Oh go soak your head you foul mouth troll.

With people speaking the way you do it's no wonder that every ****er on earth is
trying to murder your soldiers. You mouth off and they have to pay for it.

Really?

Making a joke about Canadians (or more precisely, a Canadian, namely you)
justifies murder?

Are you psychotic?

Ever heard of some *Geneva agreements.*?

Which even the Nazis abeyed by BTW (at least on the Western front).


Terrorists aren't covered under the Geneva Convention.


Suspected terrorists should be tried under the process of the land in
which they committed the crime.

Of course you are right! I don't like any part of this thread, got a little
****ed and over-reacted in my words.

Most people in the world wouldn't even recognize a Canadian flag, much
less accord its wearer any special kindnesses.


The factual data to support this idea of yours is...?

Been around this earth twice and all sorts of locals know where I was from.
Big flag stenciled on my trapper nelson pack - even in Viet Nam (Saigon
actually) while travelling there in 1971.

Just an observation of mine. Your observations are...?
