There are definitely people like this PhuketB, in the USA.

And as I've traveled, I have found many people with these similar attitudes in many countries of the world.

Maybe I should of said, ignorant. Ignorant and arrogant..that sounds better.
But yes, there are people like that around the world.

Errm....he also won the wild west and the Vietnam war.

The Green Berets has to be one of the most cringe-worthy films he ever made.

Good to see your grasp of English is improving, though.

Or, I suppose you right wingers are going to claim that it was a metaphor, that "he saw the light and became a Republican"?

Something like that.

Some do, but like Canadians, some are better at other subjects. Like the usage of context and learn how to really use the Language before becoming Hahaha, school teachers Haha of sorts, but of coarse you do not have to have a PHD in Languages if you are teaching Shit House Sanitation.

Well when your country holds everything you think is needed for a complete life then you have that right.

The first maybe, but it was Audie Murphy that won the second, hands down, the most decorated soldier in that war and joined at 15 years of age. Piss poor actor tho.

Yes and you have proved for the second time in one thread that they can also come from Canada and spread bad language usage and inept TEFLers around the world.

^ Hey! Our maple syrup comes from Quebec.
To Hell and Back with Audie Murphy. One of my favourite FILMS.

Perhaps we could tone it down and replace "steals" with "borrows"?
Not really anything to be proud of either way.

^ I thought it was the Brits and the frogs that did that.

Give it a try but be careful... it is addictive!

27 mins 34 seconds and then I had to go for a piss.

Look up 'jealous' and 'bitter'.

I dunno -- I see Brits and Aussies (same thing, really) coming to Thailand to watch more footie on the telly, incessantly -- while the Yanks come here to bang cute girls.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out which are the 'dumb' ones.

You fooking big fibber noodles! I managed 0.395 seconds while i was having a piss.

I should have also mentioned that I'm using a sony vaio vgn-ux390n with 4.5" screen and no mouse and I was also chatting on MSN and taking a phone call at the same time.
