The United States Of America...Our Older Brother?

Here's another little rant, so prepare yourself. Or don't read.

It has begun, lately, to bug me when people diss the States. I don't get it. Controversy on political matters or different viewpoints are fine as long as they are done respectfully, but I don't like hearing people go, "Oh, it's just the States," or, "Who cares about them?"

Anyways.

A very short rant, but a rant, none the less. I hope I'm not the one that inspired that rant . . . though I must say it is twofold. Americans do the same thing. I believe one American television personality called Canada the retarded cousin at your family reunion that's fun to laugh at but not good for much else, or something to that effect.

Thankyou! people in the U.S. talk about Canadians like that a lot too. it used to not bother me but now that i live hear, its super annoying. Whether its Canadians dissing the States or the U.S. dissing us.
