This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Ok, this is really ridiculous. I don't know who would make a video like this but this is the city I live in. All I have to say is **** you canada!! I mean jesus dude do you damn canadiens really gotta make yourselves feel better by ripping on U.S. cities?? I'm not sayin all Canadiens are bad but come on i'm sure if someone made this video about your city you would be upset to. Just watch.

Tell me how you would feel if they(Canadiens) made this about your city. I mean yes this is how it is in Flint, but I don't know why anyone would make fun of us like this it's bad enough that my city sucks but we are trying to make it better.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

was you offended
was you make feel bad

but srsly why overreact over one satirical site, there's no reason to get offended over it

EDIT: Ok so they try to make canada look better than the US, but still, there's no reason to overreact/be offended

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

wow thats really f****d up man ... i just watched that ... im sorry but canada needs to be a little more ... non dramatic? they brought footage of 1989 compared to 2009 wth is that? they really are stupid sometimes, and no offense to canadiens, but if you wanted to compare ottawa to a town, compare it to morris or somerset county in new jersey, or even loudoun or fairfax county in virginia, both with almost over 100,000 dollar income by families ... town wise? come on thats ridiculous. that **** pisses me off

edit: yeah it would piss me off too, thats unethical and not fair to the us for canadas misbehavior on there stupidity issue. again not all of canada but on those that made that site.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

They are comparing the quite real devastation of Flint, Michigan in the 1980s to the supposed devastation of Ottawa in 2009. The purpose of this short film was to show Ottawa's citizens that although the media is playing the recession out to be a huge deal, they are living in quite better conditions than were citizens in Flint during a different recession.

I'm not sure why you would get offended over something like that. They were stating facts. Those things really happened in Flint in 1989. So why is that offensive? It is a part of the town's history. Not even touching on the fact that they "borrowed" those facts almost exclusively from a Michael Moore film. But it's the Canadians right BURN THEM TO THE GROUND.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

I agree. However, why would you want to compare something in 2009, to something that happened back in 1989? It does not even compare to a suitable comparison. In the late 80s early 90s, the economy was much different than it is today. For one, the value of the US dollar was different. Household buildings, businesses, living conditions were all different. How could you even remotely compare 2009 Ottawa to 1989 Flint?

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Firstly, wow.

Secondly, you f**kers want to know what's really ****ed up? You think all of Canada is ****ed up just because one f**king person made a video about some **** hole city. How would you feel if someone said, "F**k America! Everyone in America is a f**king douche!"? You would feel almost exactly like I feel right now. Maybe a little less. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE SAYING ALL OF CANADA IS STUPID. CANADA IS NOT YOUR LATRINE TO PISS IN! WE ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU! GET USED TO IT!

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

First of all, I clearly stated that all of Canada is to not blame for that ****ed up video. Secondly reread what we all wrote :D. Before making falsifying accusations, read the entire thread first. Thank you.

ya

**** ninja'd

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

I was saying that to all of America. Not just you and everyone else in the thread. American's seem to have the general consensus that Canadians are stupid, we live in igloo's, and we talk funny. WE DON'T! All I want is for you American's to know that Canadians are not stupid. We don't live in igloo's. And we don't all talk with an accent.

Example: The ISS would be f**ked if it wasn't for the CANADArm's 1 & 2.

Example: We live in fine dwellings in good cities.

Example: Most of Canada does not have an accent. That's the frenchy's in Quebec.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

hey americans, lets get mad and stereotype canadians..

o wait, im Puerto Rican nor do i giv a sh!t.. America is the world leader regardless of what any vid says LOLOL

Pay attention in history class kitties

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Dude. I know for a fact that Canadians are not stupid. I have a lot of friends who are part Canadian. I agree with you on that. However, blowing up about that in this thread about the video that either ONE person or Group of people posted isn't right. We don't have a problem with Canadians. Clearly put.

Edit: Oni, thank you for teaching us something we already knew. :D

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Are all Puerto Ricans dumb as ****? Yeah you're the military super power, I'll just enjoy my free health care and better living conditions.


The video was satirical and was to prove a point. If you're offended you're dumb. How about all those times Fox News in a non-satirical manner, out of ignorance insults Canada saying such things as "HOW DARE WE LET THEM ON THE SAME CONTINENT AS US".


EDIT: Thank you Nyoku

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Ok see, Tom Green is just pissed off all the time :D

But still canada is not a stupid country for real, ive been there, and i like it :D

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Because the same **** is still happening not much has changed here. I'm just pissed that someone would make a vid like that makin fun of my city.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
 

Cry me a river. If you live in a ****ty place expect people to call it ****ty. If you need to compare something to something ****ty, might as well compare it to a ****ty place.

Re: This is absolutely ridiculous...
