I said it once, and I'll say it again, Canada is for wussies.

If it wasn't for USA being attached to it, it wouldn't be able to hold it's own.

USA = Alpha ( High School Jock )
Canada = Beta ( Band Geek )

Could be some truth to what you say.

You know what's fun to do? Is look up urban dictionary enteries.

Quote:
Jock:

1.
Signs of a jock: Rude, arrogant, stupid, beats up people, dates only cheerleaders and hangs around other jocks

2.
A person, who, contributes little or nothing to society.

A person who usually picks on the nerd or someone smaller than him See: Coward

Usually plays football or some other sport that honestly will not help them in the long run.

3.
The jock is the epitome of wastefulness - An unknown Roman soldier before the fall of rome

4.
Dumbass athletes who get all the chicks in high school. They end up bagging our groceries, cleaning public toilets and flipping burgers at McDonald's after high school. They usually like group showers with other jocks after doing their dumbass sports.

5.
The kid in high school who's parents paid everything for. Generally having poor grades, driving a nice car as if he earned it, hitting on all the slutty girls and getting attention because of his sell-out style and flashy white teeth.

6.
Jock. US slang for the thick-but-amiable types that always do well socially. No idea how, for most of them are arrogant bastards who think that the world would blow itself up in morning if they were to die. Also, they tend to lie for each other to keep their noses clean.
Quote:
Band Geek:

1.
A person involved in band who enjoys it so much that they constantly have band on their minds.

Known to date other "band geeks," roll their feet outside of band, generally have random and/or strange thought processes, are generally some of the coolest and most talented people ever, while some are quite possible the scariest people ever.

2.
1. plays one or more musical instruments well
2. eats, lives, sleeps in bandroom
3. considers band the most important class of day and frequently skips other classes to go to it
4. Has CPS (chronic playing syndrome) but does not suffer, rather enjoys every minute
5. Dates exclusivly band (or other musical: e.g. chorus) people
6. Understands band jokes
7. 99% chance of a horribly peverted mind
8. Worships band director/ drum major as god/jesus
9. Is in marching band and loves it more than life itself
10. has seen a lot of the other people in band and guard
11. IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME/COOL!

3.
The best people in the world. Hang out in the bandrom constantly-like their santuary. Extremely talented and intelligent, and know how to have fun! Weird; but in a good way

4.
1)a band member, one that does field shows
2)A person who enjoys 8 hours bus trips to go and walk around a football field
3)a kid that knows what's good in life

5.
Band geeks are the coolist people you could ever know. The band room is their home away from home, they're there in the morning before school, when they should be in their other classes, for band, and after school. They often are in many different bands such as marching band, jazz band, and concert band. They go to every football and basketball game, not to watch their school teams win, but to be in pep band and often times play better than the sports teams. They usualy date other band geeks, or orch dorks, and hate those chior kids.

* Lower taxes and more affordable than Europe
* Large cities have lower cost of living than most American large cities
* Very low poverty / mostly middle class / High quality of life
* It has taken the best of Europe and America
* Larger houses/cars/food portion, etc. like the USA
* Great education
* Very clean
* Large and diverse in terms of everything
* No strict separation of church and state
These alone seal the deal for me.
