Ranting..
Let me just say, I really do prefer winter to summer. I feel like a roast chicken, minus some basting. Ye gods it's hot!!
Now, just to be completely clear, for anyone that might -not- know.. yes, it actually -does- get hot in Canada, and -no- we don't have snow 365 days a year.. only about 7-8 months out of the year. It also depends on what part of the country your in.. some places get more snow then others and so forth. Now, some people may ask 'Why are you babbling about this?' and the answer would be 'Because I'm tired of really stupid people who can't fucking read a book asking me!' If you want the truth, in winter tempuratures get down to about -40.. thats celsius since we're metric up here, but for everyone else, -40 is -40 whatever system you use! As for summer, it gets up to 30 and above.. celsuis again, but theres not -to- much difference. Okay, I think I have that out of my system, but it just -happens- to be a huge pet peeve of mine. On to another part of that peeve.
Do you know that from the time I was in grade -5- I was learning US history.. states, presidents ectera ectera.. and do you know how MUCH it annoys me that US citizens don't need to learn -diddly- about us? When we're not only your neighbors, but essentially your best friends?? Not that I don't have any number of US friends who are neither stupid, nor arrogant, nor any of the things this post is ranting against (And I'm likely to get a few unpleasant responses to this) but how bloody -arrogant- can you be? Why do you think that it's right for you to shove yourselves basically down everyone's throats (generally where nobody wants you) sticking your nose into everything, but can't take the damn time to even learn a little bit about those people?! I know Canada is generally assumed to be the 'peaceful' country.. not to mention the US's little brother.. fuck that shit, sometimes I'm ready to break some heads!!
Anyways, that should pretty much get the point across.. not to mention the fact I'm sure I've offended enough people. Let me sum this up in one little statment... when you can go to a place that is the same continent.. and convince people there that not only do you have snow year round, but that you live in an igloo, hunt polar bears, ride dog sleds -and- just got a phone -for the whole damn town-.. it shows a marked lack of worldly knowledge.
Done offending people now. Later.
