And bless "my heart"? My heart pumps blood to other organs. Why does it need blessing? Why not my liver or kidneys? They are equally important.

You guys have got to realize that this type of rhetoric and contempt for these Americans is why Trump won in November, right? Keep it up guys!

First of all, it's an expression, not a blessing. It can be used as an endearment. It can also mean the polar opposite.

And you know this poster is Canadian how exactly?

YOU posted this bait thread. Remember? Were you expecting Canadians to argue with your premise.? Would you expect Americans to agree with it? What exactly was your motive anyway?

Care to try what I suggested about four pages back....taking this nonsense over to the P & OC forum and posting the exact same thread over there.......then you'll find all the tolerance and politeness you could ever hope for.

Well ...how about that Canada has had modern "chip" credit cards for years
and the US is still hanging onto those old magnetic strip credit cards ...
old 60s technology ...easy prey for the fraudsters....
LOL, we went to chips and they absolutely suck. They are indeed hackable as people are finding out and they also slow down the checkout process. I'd love to go back to the swipe system. You hit on one of my pet peeves.

Canadians are more thoughtful and aware. No idea why - probably their heritage and watching U.S. making an ass of itself, time and time again.
At first I thought this was sarcasm, but it's really a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Wow, just wow. Liberals really do think that they are on some kind of higher mental plane.

Same question, different descriptor. How do you know this poster is either Canadian or Liberal.

I just wanted to point out that poster is also an American as she posted in another thread that she lives near a Target Store. I really don't know why American posters come to the Canada forum to exchange America points of view with each other.

When a question is asked in the Canada forum, it is assumed to be asked of Canadians. Why else post the question here? It's annoying when people post without identifying themselves as Americans and their opinions are taken to be representative of Canadians, which is often not the case.

I have know idea if they are Canadian or not, but the poster is very obviously a lib and very obviously believes that they are far superior to the average American.
