do you know what the difference between a northern zoo,and a southern zoo is?

at a NORTHERN zoo,they put the name of the animal on its cage in english,and put its latin name underneath it...

in a SOUTHERN zoo,they put the name of the animal on its cage in english,and put a recipe for it underneath it.

The closer they are to Canada, the better smokin


I absolutely adore Canada. Canada is such an open minded and liberal country. Especially the Toronto area where multiple layers of society live together in harmony.




In Harmony?


Yea those Torontonians rat bastards want you to think that whoa



EDIT*


I should have added "Torontonian hockey fans rat bastards"


Otherwise we're pretty tight group smokin

I r sorry dear, but if you are neither white or black, you are going to experience racism and racial discrimination EVERYWHERE in the you esse of eh, not just in the north or the south.

For example the majority of white supremacists live in the hill country in Northern California, not necessarily North Carolina.
While in San Francisco there are more African Americans than there are non African-Americans, and most of them are very vocally racist.
Except for the new mayor, who just happens to be black and a wumahn- she ish educated and not a conservative.

But the city of San Francisco ish a huge can of worms, that ish in the works of being fixed.

the main difference between canada and the U.S. that makes canada so much more liberal,and accepting of other cultures than we are is the fact that THEY didnt have slavery up there,and have to fight a highly divisive war over it,so you do not see the rampant racism up there like we have down here,which BOTH sides use as a tool to stir up strong feelings to try to empower their own agendas,and ulterior motives with.

Keeping in mind that there is a difference between when people dont approve of certain activities and lifestyles and when they disapprove of the ancestry or anatomy or place of birth of a person ...

being that the former is under much more control of an individual than the latter


I believe bigotry, even when not race based (racism) is enshrined in the history of every nation. Sometimes it comes from a history that is divisive amongst the lines of patriotism and nationalism (bigotry based on nationality) sometimes it is divisive amongst the lines of racism (bigotry based in race)

America is a country with states the size of other countries and we have a history based in racism and nationalism. Where other countries have been concerned with their individual national identity to the point of becoming nationalists, USA has been concerned with racial identity to the point of becoming racists.

The more separated a people have been from others historically and politically and socioeconomically, the easier it is for them to be or to create dehumanizing or hateful opinions of each other. When those discrepancies close or are minimal, so is/does alot of the bigotry.

Actually slavery did exist in canada, african slavery was very very and I mean very small, most slaves were first nations/aboriginals .

While African american slavery wasn't a huge thing, Segregation was.

The last school to be desegregated in Canada was in Nova Scotia in 1983,yeah you read correctly 1983.

And racism exists up here in canada, just asks some Japanese Canadians, Chinese Canadians, Indo-Canadians, Aboriginal Canadians,Sikh, Black Canadians and of course the problems with the Anglophones and Francophones in Canada, we are just better at hiding it.

Just telling our liberal friends the truth about Canada.

There are many wonderful things about this country, but there are some dark and ugly secrets too.

Justin Trudeau's closet marxist father when he was Prime Minister caused a lot of the problems and rifts, he is like the Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher of politics, Loved around the world but despised in their own countries.

One of the things I like about your country is racism is out in the open you can see your enemies coming compared to here where its hidden and the media feeds lies to the rest of the world.


I love your first amendment rights on free speech, it doesn't exist here in Canada, I can tell the truth about things in Canada while in America and get away with it, up here you could be censored or even charged with a hate crime for speaking the truth.

It seems Trudeau's government wants to legislate your thoughts and if you fall into their way of thinking you will be dealt with accordingly.

I'm waiting to see will I be charged or fined for saying "merry christmas" to someone of Islamic faith because they feel offended?

I mean what is next will I be charged for saying " Merry Christmas" to an atheist or a satan worshipper because they might be offended too.

I wonder if I will be in trouble for saying "merry christmas" in Trois River Quebec because I should have said "joyeux Noël"

yeah The left and Liberals have done a number in Canada.

This is not a reflection on the south in whole.. at all

but

I have been to the south many times, and many times as soon as I say a few words some don't like me.. why.. because the northern accent. They don't know the first thing about me.. but they don't like what they hear.

Not all of them.. at all... but it does happen
it's the same up north, some are rude a**holes not all but some



I find the men in the South are more charming and down to earth men.

They are outgoing and make friends easier! IMO

I have a home in N.C but live in Jersey. For the most part the people of the south are nice. much more laid back. I do notice that once you crossover the bridge from Delaware into N.J it is like your are immediate thrown into a Indy race.

And yellow lights.. are a " suggestion".

That's not entirely true Z, in Canada, you can't openly hate someone because one reason or another race related and that's a good thing.

Your truth will always be different than my truth or her truth.

If people openly hate, that's not truth, that's plain ol hate bud


Edit*


Southern folks are welcoming and have cool accents

No no john, Im not talking about hating a race and wanting to harm them, Im talking about saying something that is persevered negative about someone and saying it public.

For instance, I can say when Im in America that is irritates me when people say Happy holidays because Merry Christmas offends certain groups of people like those who are Muslims and I think they should accept that not everyone is muslim, just like If I address a muslim on one of their holy days I would refer to it as that and not change it because it might offend me.

But I couldn't say that in Canada in public because it could be considered "hate speech"

Do you remember that idiot Ernst Zundel the German neo nazi holocaust denier , In america he was basically allowed to denounce the holocaust even though they did deport him back to Canada, but in Canada it was considered "hate speech", and Canada finally deported the goof.

I heard he died last year in Germany, may he burn in hell .

Traveling in the rural south, it's still possible to find the separations between blacks and whites. Just the history shows up in odd places. It's not hard to find a vacant school buildings. Those used to be the black schools. Older black people tend to be very respectful of whites, just because they were brought up that way.

Going through small towns, everybody waves at everyone else from cars. That takes some getting used to.

A friend of mine moved to Alabama. He told me there are two types of people in the south. Drunks, and those who found religion. Most were drunk before they found religion.

Jokes aside, I like the south. People are much friendlier. They seem to be more laid back, and seem to take everyone for who they are. They might be a touch lazy, but only because it's hotter down there. Want to see them go into panic mode? Let it snow an inch.

Then the salt trucks come out- those are pickups, with about thirty bags of salt, and two guys in the back with coffee cans, spreading the salt on the roads.

I think perhaps the south is more concerned with customs and traditions and appearances than the north. And the north may be a bit more openly honest with the expression of their feelings in person.

Not saying at all that custom and tradition are bad. I just emphasize that what "SEEMS" on the outside is not necessarily the end of the story or even the big picture.

No. I am far too private and probably too empathetic for that type of life.

But thank you for the compliment regarding diplomacy. happy

Being offended is much different than getting charged, I've never heard of anyone getting pizzed at any holiday greetings except on the net really, only the deeply offended folks... on the net


I do remember Zundel, I just don't think he should have spread filth anywhere on the planet, that's my point, not letting them spread filth

are you saying you'd have no problem jailing Zundel for denying the holocaust? or offing him quick? lol It's amazing to me they tolerated him at all in the us, not in a good way


EDIT*


I love southern breakfasts
