What do you think of the Canadians on PF?

[Moonbear]

Seriously, you guys are too much.
Libya is to World Flags as the Browns are to Football Mascots.

I guess they had better things to do than wait around for someone to design a flag.

 

[Moonbear]

Did moonbear or evo catch me stereotyping women?

I know you didn't just diss the Dawgs:

Or choose an appropriate color...

Climate: Mediterranean along coast; dry, extreme desert interior

Terrain: mostly barren, flat to undulating plains, plateaus, depressions

Land use: arable land: 1.03%
permanent crops: 0.19%
other: 98.78% (2001)

Natural hazards: hot, dry, dust-laden ghibli is a southern wind lasting one to four days in spring and fall; dust storms, sandstorms

Environment - current issues: desertification; very limited natural fresh water resources; the Great Manmade River Project, the largest water development scheme in the world, is being built to bring water from large aquifers under the Sahara to coastal cities

Geography - note: more than 90% of the country is desert or semidesert

Yeah, nothing says barren desert like lots of green[/color].

Flag description: plain green; green is the traditional color of Islam (the state religion)

Whatever, I already typed the post. It's probably just a coincidence anyway. Consider the source: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ly.html

I've never seen them before. But it's too late - they'll always be a big pile of brown to me. I thought you were an Eagles fan anyway.

I'm just picturing kids in arts and crafts class being told to make their country's flag, and they all run over to the stack of construction paper and pull out the green sheets, stick it on a popsicle stick, and they're done. I hope Crayola knows to include extra green crayons if they sell school supplies over there.

 

[dduardo]

I'm back and have disturbing information. I've uncovered the true Canadian Flag:

I think we can all infer what this means.

 

[arildno]

Canadians sure take pride in themselves, don't they?

You know, I always wondered why Canadians that came down to Florida always wore those speedos. Now I know.

Sure, but I'm also an NFL fan, and desire that anyone speaking of the NFL mascots be knowledgeable of NFL mascots. Moving onto the MLB, though, no one beats the Milwaukee Brewers:

I think it is great that we have popular all-male sports without the slightest trace of homo-eroticism in them..

Perhaps it's just great for you!

Yes, won't somebody please think of the children?
Oh, right, you did. I guess I have no complaints then.

Hmm..slaver, grunt, eeh, I have to go.

Canada has to have the whimpiest flag ever. we have stars and stripes that represent our history. mexico has an eagle perched on a cactus with a snake from the aztec legends, but Canada has a leaf?! WTF?

 

[neurocomp2003]

any flag that needs to clutter it with colours and objects seem to have the need to make up for something.

In 1921, King George V proclaimed the official colours of Canada as red, from the Saint George's Cross, and white, from the French royal emblem since King Charles VII.
As early as 1700, the maple leaf began to serve as a symbol celebrating Canada's nature and environment.

That, as far as I know, fits our history

 

[arildno]

Here is a nice tribute to the Canadian nation, BTW.

That's because the liberals chose it.

In one of the classrooms at my school there is a poster that has all the top proposed Canadian flags...some of them were so much cooler than the leaf.

Now adding to the war...Americans don't know how to spell "colour".

hehe, actually when I am browsing around PF I don't even notice where people are from most of the time, I read people's posts and to me it's as if rather than having nationalities, we all just have the fact that we all live on the same planet. Well, until this thread, because in this thread it surely doesn't seem that way. I find it kind of stupid that people steryotype others due to nationality,

I'm in Canada and I hear Canadians all the time steryotyping Americans (mostly negatively) and i always stand up for the Americans because in many cases, the Canadians (in these cases not all Canadians) are wrong to judge people a certain way before even knowing them. My history teacher last year was very anti-american, (and very leftist) and i couldn't stand listening to her because it made her sound like such a retard making such large generalizations. (and because I'm right wing so I never agreed with her in the first place)

For example, we took a trip to NYC and at the border she was following the US border guy down the isle of the coach and trying to do what she thought was 'help him do his job' so he told her to shut up and go sit down. (HILARIOUS if you were there and knew my teacher...I could see her trying to avoid hitting him over the back of the head...thank god she didn't). So anyway, afterwards she went on about how americans are so rude and impolite etc...after one american example. I felt like saying there are people from every country like that not just the US and also just because he was like that doesn't mean all americans are.

So basically I think I'm saying that (this is going to be lame) "you can't judge a book by its' cover".

 

[gurkhawarhorse]

well i don't know what u call to the flag of my country, but i call it unique .
while making it the makers kept in mind the hindu flag structure (triangle) and put 2 triangles. red for courage and blue for peace. sun and moon for life of the country till they(sun & moon) exist.
just look at it...

I'm sorry.

 

[Pengwuino]

Canadians are evil.

They team up with soon to be giant Penguin based media corporations in the US to try to sell people a load of horsecrap they just want to hear for pure profit!

 

[Smurf]

Ha! Wait till you see what me and TSM do with our T-Shirt idea!

 

[Pengwuino]

Oh pff, tshirts won't stand a chance to my latest corporate development.

Me and evo are basically going to take over Microsoft and literally eliminate our competitors. No more of this open source alternative BS.

 

[outsider]

I'm sorry.

hahaha... it's too late to apologize... but she's great :!)
