This subject recurs frequently here. To decide for myself, I made a list. That's what I do. I like lists. And I have no real talent.
These are a few of my favorite things. Tra la la. For each, I then considered their country of origin. I gave three points for a "1," two points for a "2," and, yup, you guessed it, one point for a "3." The results were then tabulated. Here goes nothing.
(Yes, I know that England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland comprise a single country, but they shouldn't. It's my game; I make the rules.)
My favorite beers:
1) Guinness (Ireland)
2) Pilsner Urquell (Czechoslovakia)
3) Grolsch (Holland...shout out to messmind/rorrim)
My favorite liquors:
1) Bourbon (America Fuck Yeah)
2) Jagermeister (Germany)
3) Vodka (Russia)
My favorite writers:
1) William Shakespeare (England)
2) Evelyn Waugh (England)
3) Gore Vidal (America Fuck Yeah)
My favorite movies:
1) A Clockwork Orange (England)
2) Apocalypse Now! (America Fuck Yeah)
3) The Ruling Class (England)
My favorite actors:
1) Humphrey Bogart (America Fuck Yeah)
2) Orson Welles (America Fuck Yeah)
3) Peter O'Toole (Ireland. If I were gay.... I'm not gay.)
My favorite actresses:
1) Jennifer Jason Leigh (America Fuck Yeah)
2) Katherine Hepburn (America Fuck Yeah)
3) Julie Christie (England)
The three most beautiful women ever to walk the planet:
1) Nastassja Kinski (Hubba hubba) (Germany)
2) Julie Christie (England)
3) Louise the French doctoral candidate I met last week and Jesus Christ you should have seen the ass (France)
My favorite rock bands (all-time):
1) Led-Zeppelin (England)
2) Pink Floyd (England)
3) The Who (England)
My favorite singers:
1) Frank Sinatra (America Fuck Yeah)
2) Beniamino Gigli (Italy. Voice of an angel.)
3) Placido Domingo (Spain. I saw him in concert. I'm not gay.)
My favorite rock bands (current):
1) Muse (England)
2) Audioslave (America Fuck Yeah)
3) System of a Down (They're American Fuck Yeah, but I'm going to give this point to Armenia. Armenia isn't likely to get any other points without a little help. Do they even make beer in Armenia?)
My favorite foods:
1) Steak (Aurochs were domesticated in the southern Caucasus. I'm giving this to Armenia.)
2) Pickles (Cucumbers were first pickled in Mesopotamia. Who knew? Now aren't you glad you're reading this shit. I'm giving these points to Iraq.)
3) Popcorn (America Fuck Yeah. While corn was domesticated in Mexico. The oldest corn with the supposed ability to pop was uncovered by archaeologists in New Mexico. That's an American state. And a beautiful one. America Fuck Yeah.)
Okay. Eleven categories are enough. I don't mean to bore you, gentle reader. Time to tabulate which country is the greatest.
<tabulating tabulating tabulating>
<tabulating tabulating tabulating>
Wait for it...
<tabulating tabulating tabulating>
Done. We have a winner. The GREATEST country in the world is.....................
SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ERIN GO BRAGH, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(That last bit is a joke, ya twats.)

Peter O'Toole is now (again) my favorite actor. Yay, Ireland. The Diamondbacks, so far this season, are the best team I've seen since the '76 Reds. But this is a vacuous statement, because the only teams I have followed religiously in my life have the Reds from '75 through '90-something and the Diamondbacks, beginning in 2001. I'm not a fair-weather fan. I have watched or listened to 95% or the d'backs games since 2001, even when they were the worst team in baseball. I just didn't watch baseball for a few years, as Marge Schott ruined it in a big way for me. What a cunt. The game is going to start soon. I have had a few shots in preparation, and just opened a Steinlager. The back of my bottle reads, "The Silver Fern is worn with pride by all Kiwis when defending their nation's honor in sport. It is also handy to sway off the flies that generally follow with their Australian foes." This made me think of d_r and I_can_get_you_a_toe, which made me think of Uber. Watching Peter O'Toole this morning has put me in a very good mood. What an admirable person. Anyway...

Tell me how am I wrong when this is considered a fact by ALL. Tell why saying "we're the best in the world" is long overdued? For what reason?

yes you are wrong rob. the argument isn't about beer commercials, those were mostly an example. read my initial comment to you:
"another victim of the post-referendum canadian propaganda. <<<<< do you see it?
IAM CANADIAN! "
in response too:
"I'd say Canada is is the best country in the world."
You went on that tangent while my point was always that there is a new generation of people being brainwashed that Canada is the shit since that program was put into place. But the problem is that this program has created more problems (seperatism, corruption, diplomatic issues...etc) and as implied in my first comment, made poor souls like you sound like fucking idiots.
Did you went past high school?
---
Right, and I say this is perfect example of how your utter fascination with conflict, lack of understanding as to what I believe and a staggering inability to actually READ what I say.
The very next line after I say "I'd say Canada is is the best country in the world."
is
" Of course, that is entirely biased and based on little more than personal preference and limited experience."
I don't >know< that Canada is the best country in the world as I haven't lived in many of them - but from the ones I have lived in it's my favorite. Besides, I am sure that many people would say that their particular country of origin is the 'best in the World'. (Of course, that Canada is chronically at the top of many international 'desirable places to live' - but that is beside the point... kinda.)
Your line about how I am just another "victim of post- referendum Canadian propaganda." is false.
I am not this victim you are so convinced I am - yet you consistently assume that I am instead of just asking me or actually reading what the fuck I am saying.
I would agree that the program did, in fact, create some problems in a situation already riddled with problems. If you were not so quick to dismissively lump me into that generalistic pile of bullshit you spew - we could have great conversation about such things - but NOOOOO you'd rather be a cunt. You are sensational at it.

i read all your comments rob. you haven't said anything. you said that patriotism makes you happy and your nipples perky (i'm quoting you). you haven't answered my arguments that this pro-canada sometimes anti-US campaign has indirectly caused this recent rise in separatism, makes us look arrogant, harms our relationship with the south (see last elections), is setting the stage for another anglo/franco stand off (this has already started in some areas) because english-canada is too busy obsessing over the south while quebec gets disproportionate leverage...i could go on forever.
---
Of course you could go on forever - you are filled with empty rhetoric and bile for your own Country. I appreciate that.
Yes, I said the I AM CANADIAN commercials resulted in perky nipples and that pride in one's country was a good thing.
It just so happens I mostly agree with your arguments - it is a complex, strained situation and with all of the bullshit politics and ignorance I can definitely see how a commercial that embraces the simple notion that WE ARE ALL CANADIANS might be somewhat offensive to people who don't consider themselves Canadian - but I certainly don't see how that should affect the rest of us who are quite happy to consider ourselves as such.
Tragic how you just assume I know nothing about the situation. Your "Canucks like rob" blurb was especially telling about how fucking clueless you are to what I understand or how I feel.
clueless... no that isn't quite right...
Ignorant. That was the word I was looking for. Jackass.

See?
Another clear example of how you are right and I am wrong - doesn't matter what I say.
Although reading this it made me realize that your argument isn't about the commercials anymore so while you are citing examples - please show me the amount of money that went to fund the I AM CANADIAN commercials.
How much? I am curious, and you seem to know it all.
Be careful not to lump it in with the rest of the sponsorship scandal figures - I want to know specifically how much money the government put towards the Molson Brewing companies efforts to sell beer... which incidentally created a long absent and well needed sense of pride in most Canadians - not including people like you.
THAT is the real argument here fella, you keep leveraging this sponsorship scandal as a whole - and while that is certainly a giant fuck up and its significant attention would obviously lead to greater attention to the whole separatist debate.
We were talking the I AM CANADIAN commercials here - and how that sentiment of just being Canadian fills most of us with pride. Maybe try sticking to that?

funny how when anyone ask you simple questions you dance around rob.
when indoninja did the same thing, you kept screaming how close-minded and stupid he was because you couldn't answer. instead of putting forward FACTUAL counter-arguments, you called him a cranky ignorant asshole and complained how he doesn't know you and the stuff you know.
you're doing the same thing here. you haven't provided any tangible argument to oppose my opinion that this canadian propaganda is was a complete fiasco, except that it makes you happy-happy at the hockey game. wow.
---
hehe...
Typical that would be your paltry assessment of that argument. I am sure you took the time to read it all huh? You don't even read the ones that I give you, I am sure you took a keen interest in the ones that I provided Indo.
You have your opinion - and you are entitled to it.
I think it's wrong - you think it's right. Nothing I say will change your opinion (especially considering it is coming from me and you don't really read what I am saying anyways) ...so why would I even try? It's not like you participate in these conversations - it's all about how right you are, and how wrong everyone else is. This is all an exercise in ESL cuntishness.
I did attempt to illustrate how you could glean some sort of understanding as to what my actual opinion might be - and why I have it - but you would rather be combative and, yes, pissy.

i have read your stupid shit rob. i'm not answering the rest of your comments since you mostly evaded simple questions and threw in your automated "insults".
not only are you completly oblivious about your country recent's history, you are also incapable of answering a simple question with an opinion backed by arguments.
Again, what is the use for this national pride campaign? Please explain what good it is for the country, other than making you happy-happy as you say, because so far it hasn't helped us in any way.
Calling people ignorant doesn't make your stance, or in this case lack of thereof, any more valid.
---
hehe... good. You go ahead and avoid my arguments. You are a master at it.
Besides, not dealing with your continued stupid arrogant dismissive ignorance would make my day less exciting, sure - but it will certainly make it a LOT less frustrating.
Heh - you condemn me for being a "know it all" but you wander around this site as the foremost expert on EVERYTHING. You are such a joke.
Again, I am not completely oblivious - that would be YOU concerning what it is I believe. You spend so much time making up stories about me and creatively writing about my positions when I have plainly laid them out to you countless times and you ignore them.
If you don't want to be proud of our country I couldn't even give the slightest of fucks. I think it makes you happy to be a pissy little bitch so any attempts at generally creating happiness would immediately be dismissed by you.
Calling YOU ignorant is supported by your numerous ignorant responses. That you continue to miss the mark so substantially is comical - bordering on insane.

funny how when anyone ask you simple questions you dance around rob.
when indoninja did the same thing, you kept screaming how close-minded and stupid he was because you couldn't answer. instead of putting forward FACTUAL counter-arguments, you called him a cranky ignorant asshole and complained how he doesn't know you and the stuff you know.
you're doing the same thing here. you haven't provided any tangible argument to oppose my opinion that this canadian propaganda is was a complete fiasco, except that it makes you happy-happy at the hockey game. wow.

HA! What a simplistic fucking statement. Largely responsible?

do you have any other explanations? why did seperatism revived during the gomery comission? why is this an accepted fact? the aberrations of thes sponsorship progam gave the feeling to quebecers that the referendum was stolen from them and that they deserve a second chance. another accepted fact among media and general populace.
nice argument though: "HAHAHAHAH, LOLZ!"

Gee, I don't know - it could be the GENERATIONS of ignorance and dismissive relations between the two sides of the fence?
An ineffective leadership and government?
An apathetic population outside of Ontario and Quebec?
And who accepts your facts? You? Specific French Canadian separatist types? People in rural areas?
Bah, it is obvious your "facts" are suspect - and you are keen to believe what you want to believe - you will just ignore or dismiss any arguments I have anyways.
It truly is a waste of time even trying with you - hence the laughing.

i have read your stupid shit rob. i'm not answering the rest of your comments since you mostly evaded simple questions and threw in your automated "insults".
not only are you completly oblivious about your country recent's history, you are also incapable of answering a simple question with an opinion backed by arguments.
Again, what is the use for this national pride campaign? Please explain what good it is for the country, other than making you happy-happy as you say, because so far it hasn't helped us in any way.
Calling people ignorant doesn't make your stance, or in this case lack of thereof, any more valid.

The corruptions occured afterward. It wasn't a goal as those in charge were not necessarily aware of the corruption. The idea of creating it stemmed from the fear of losing the country again.

what's funny about canucks like rob is that while they are busy screaming how cool canada is and ignoring the reason behind this relatively new breath of patriotism, the 'souverainistes' are still arm wrestling with the government and getting out their way without any protest from english-canada. even with the demographic and economic power shifting west, we are getting what we want.
this entire pride and identity campaign is a complete utter failure. a fumble by Chretien who wanted to imit Reagan. it's a tool for seperatists. it makes us look arrogant abroad and harms our relationship with our most important partner. it sets the stage for another standoff between francophones and anglophones, as soon as the latter realize how the former were fucking them up the ass while they were celebrating canadian 'identity'.
those are factual events that already happened and predictions that are slowly revealing themselves to be right. but as rob will say, it's cool and good to be canadian, so who cares!? we don't know why, but it's good! woohoo! go hockey!

Here's to you Canada:
Here's to your hockey hair,
Your long underwear
and multicoloured money.
Here's to saying please,
Your ducks and geese
And to Always being funny.
Here's to your open spaces!
Away from rat races
And a beer that quenches the thirst,
Here's to being proud
And saying it out loud.
Even when you don't come in first.
Here's to your pretty girls,
Your black coloured squirrels,
And a flag that stands so free.
Here's to different races,
From different places,
Who love this country like me.
But most of all,
Here's to standing tall,
And saying it like a true Acadian.
I love this land,
I love this country,
And . . . I am Canadian.

I guarantee if you take the time to look through my arguments - you will see that insulting people is usually not my main tactic - highlighting how stupid they are is just part of the fun.

Stop overlooking facts and calling my, or others', comments ignorant bullshit and tell me how this propaganda (it's even in children cartoons for fuck's sake) isn't a national unity strategy. Tell me how am I wrong when this is considered a fact by ALL. Tell why saying "we're the best in the world" is long overdued? For what reason?
You ask people to have constructive conversations but the truth is that you just can't stand opposing views, in this case facts, you ets clone. You don't even understand the simple politics of your own country in the last decade yet you harp about geopolitics as if you were enlightenend.
What a great thinker you are, rob.

Or gee, maybe I just like Canada?"""
I know that doesn't fit in your prefabricated bullshit regurgitation fest - but I do. I love this Country.
I AM CANADIAN.
I'm perfectly ok with the fact we have gleaned our national identity from a beer commercial.
We make good beer, apparently... and lets face it - those are some great fucking ads (written, produced and created by Canadians).
I'm proud of my country. How that national sentiment was inspired is entirely irrelevant. The fact it exists is LONG overdue and should be embraced - not marginalized by a pissy emo French Canadian homost.
===
Those are great ads? Dude, they are just as bad as any 'Gung Ho America Fuck Yeah' commercials except that they rely on comparisons with the US. It's always about the most trivial shit and are mostly based on a Canada vs America 'concept'. The fact that you aren't ashamed of these and are so quick to slam americans for their blind patriotism, speaks volume about your 'intellect'
Do you realize that this pro Canada campaign was heavily funded by the federal government? That it plastered the maple leaf on everything and subsidized this kind of advertisement after it almost lost the country in 1995? That's common knowledge even for children here, yet you eat that shit up like a good little Canadian.
Congratulations, the pride of your nation comes from people who wanted to leave it.
You don't have to bitch about other countries and brag about stupid shit to be proud of your country. You can do so in silence for reasons that make sense.
Funny how when people provide arguments you insult them, then call them ignorant and caustic poopy panting assholes.

4) would constantly be at crotch level
5) could cook on a play stove
6) would easily fit into my suitcase thereby saving a fortune in ticket fares on vacations
7) would tolerate my hot sauce
8) would only have midgets for friends. I have a thing for midgets.
9) could wear two peg legs on halloween
10) would probably make a good float in case we ever got lost at sea.
