Alright, can we all come to your country, not learn your language, work for extremely cheap and take over all your jobs, not pay taxes, send the money that we earn in your country back home to our family, hurt your economy, have lots of babies and get paid welfare, and demand special rights because we're a minority?  If that's ok with you then fine, but you'll get sick of it...I promise.

that's not the main reason why USA is mad whit Canada . the main reason is that Canadians didn't not support the war in Iraq , they decided to allow gay marriage , and they pretty much opposed the American government in a lot of issues . so this is pretty much a revenge get accustom to it USA don't like  ur positions and they have pretty much decided to make your lives hard . on the other side i think u should keep ur openness of mind and u should star getting away from USA at least for now . i know that they been saying Canada wouldn't exist Whit out USA and been reminding them constantly that they depend in an 80 percent of USA and this has bothered the Canadian Government .

They arent recognized by the US Government, but they are as real a Soverign Nation as it gets.  Just like the rest.  Just 'cause the US Government says it's so does not make it correct!

Well i am biased when I say that I rather live in America even with all of it's troubles.  This is a beautiful country with a relitave short history but a treasured one as well.  America has had it's dark periods that we wish we can sweep under the rug-- but what country doesen't have them ten fold.  Mother and Father's parents were born in Italy so I have a love of sorts of that country too.  But my allgience goes to the USA. \n\nAnd as for Americans being war mongers remember the OLD COUNTRY and AISA nations have had thousands and thousands of years of battle and bickering and it seemed  people forgot them because it happened so many years ago.   We are about 230 years old -- a baby !  But it is nice to know that this young country of ours took in people from different countries and made it a super power in every sence of the word.   And that  the people that live in America are here because they came here from Europe.   Not all but Europe was used as a comparasion.  \n\n\n\nAnd that the Europeans that look down on us are looking down on themselves -

Are you serious?\n\nBecause the country itself is called United States of AMERICA. If you say 'American' it means one coming from the continent of North America, residing/originating  within from the borders of the USofA. \n\nUnited Stadeians is just ridicilous?\n\nI mean it's perfectly logical to call Americans Americans. You don't hear the people of The Republic of Macedonia wanting to be called the Republicians??

Wow, just ignore the previous post. Someone has their wars mixed up.\n\nThe United States was neutral during WWI because they felt that this was a European conflict, and none of their business. What drew us into the war was a German U-boat attack on a US ship.

Hi, I am an Englishman and never visited the States. I suppose like many people I would have to say that I have had mixed feelings about the USA. Most of the information regarding world events etc comes via the media and does not I think always give the most unbiased opinion. Not just in political events. We all see popular shows like Oprah and this without doubt has a profoundly negative effect. We see in the main what can only be described as weirdos and have to wonder if these strange selfish people are indicative of the country as a whole.\nHigh consumers, irresponsible ecological attitude and a me, me, me mind set.\nAll sounds horrible doesn't it? Thankfully there is the Internet where over the past couple of years I have made some excellent friends who have illustrated that there is a far more caring and unselfish, generous aspect to many of the citizens of the US than I previously thought. \nMy country and yours have been strong allies both economically and in time of conflict and shared a whole lot together. I personally hope that this will always be the case.\nWho knows what may happen in Iraq, North Korea and the rest of the world. But I believe that in the main (although always influenced by oil) The forces currently in Iraq are trying extremely hard to bring about stability. If they were only allowed to do so, your country and mine could bring our troops home. The sooner the better.\nIn a nut shell I am pro American. OK?

Bring our troops home and actually concentrate on our own country. We still have the Gulf states devastation to clean up before it hits again. We still have kids goin to bed everynight starving. We still have homeless people in this country that were in Vietnam and cant get a job. We still have a gov't out to take our freedoms away from us. and why would comment from non americans be welcomed. They should mind their own business just like america should mind its own business.

I'm a citizen of the US.  When I go overseas (mainly to Europe), I always say I am from the "States."  However, Europeans overwhelmingly refer to US citizens as "Americans" or the country of the US as "America."\n\nIt's isn't US citizens calling their country "America."  It's Europeans, from what I've seen!

It is easy to bash the United States because we tend to be arrogant and uninformed in matters about other parts of the world.\n\nIn reference to your comment about stealing land, people have been migrating from one area to another since the last ice age.  Sometimes force is involved, sometimes not.\n\nAs for the place that has not been previously occupied by another race:  the dark side of the moon.

Oh, for heaven's sake..\n\nAlmost NO ONE who is now posting answers on this site is actually native to the Americas. ALL of us are the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of immigrants.\n\nAmerica is the land of opportunity. If people from other countries want to come to the U.S. to make a better life for themselves and their families, more power to them! YOUR ancestors did the same thing not so long ago. \n\nPeople who come to this country to better themselves, provide a good life for their children, and to contribute to society should be applauded, not denigrated. \n\nThey should, however, come to this country LEGALLY if at all possible. But I am aware that this is not always possible. It's easy for us to whine and complain about illegal immigrants in our lovely houses with plenty of food to eat. It's another matter entirely when you're starving to death in the slums of Juarez, or being forced into Mussolini's Fascist armed forces in 1939 (my grandfather)

Present America is like pre WWII Germany!\nYou just see they want any others to prosper. Because of their ongoing fookish decisions, whole world is suffering (e.g. hike in petrol price to $72/barrell!!! Is it not fact?)\n\nAmericans are enjoying their lavish life at the cost of world.\n\nThose who think otherwise, should re-assess their veiws & may modify their comments.

I AM -AND AGREE- WITH YOU!!!\n\nMOST PEOPLE HERE ARE SO ARROGANT AND STUPID!\n\nDON'T GIVE A S-HIT!! (report me if you want, I don't give a f-ucking shit)\n\nI HAVE TOLD BEFORE:\n\nAMERICA IS NOT A FREE COUNTRY (ANYMORE) AND MOST AMERICANS ARE ARROGANT!!\n\nMost of them do not know also other languages and are pissed off! (hah!)\n\nREPORT ME!   REPORT ME!

Miss, I am terribly sorry about what the USA did to your country. I was there. What we did was inexcusable. Saying I was ordered to do it is pretty lame. Your country, what I saw of it, was beautiful. The people I met and meet now are resourceful and have been pretty smart. I know the US trades with you now. Take care of your people. Be careful in dealing with the Western world. Do not let the multinationals strip your resources away.

don't feel rude because it's a valid question. Have you ever seen Rick Mercers "Talking to Americans"? The responses are hysterical. The view of Canada seems to be that the whole dang country is above the tree line and we all commute to work on ski-doos.This has been going on for years.\nMany Americans are ignorant about their own country too.

Once again, I totally agree with you on this subject. I that when immigrants come over here and don't won't want to become citizens that they are just taking advantage of us and that their plans are to just use and abuse our economy and go back where they come from later after they have soaked up everything that they can. \n\nAlso, if they came over here b/c America is a great place, then why do they expect us to change our language, lifestyles etc....... If their own land was so unbearable to them that they couldn't live there, why do they want to turn our country into the same place?\n\n That was a great question! I know I have a lot of mad people out there who are reading this, but those are my feelings about this and my feelings will not change as long as I see my country getting run over by illegal immigrants.

America was once a pround country! my famiy has been here since 1620's I 've had relatives die in the Revolutionary war,Civil war, WWI and WWII . I served during the 70's and 80's and early 90's. At one time as a nation we had values. But In the last 20 years we have opened our borders, Letting the Scum of the earth come in.To give an example  In Southern California pregnant Mexican women will come across the border to have their Fatherless children born here. At tax payers expence They have deminstrations in the street and carry the Mexican flag. But we don't kick they As*es back home like we should because ( oh they desirved to have better) 58% of all crimes in the U.S are commited by Illegal Uneducated scum from other countries. America is under siege and not by Osama. President Bush Acts like one of the most igmorant men that ever lived ( they say he's really not that way) but the man can't put two words together. And like in the movie "Forrest Gump" My Momma always said stupid is as stupid does!..I am to the point that I think the people have no say so. There is no way he could have been reelected. The elections are rigged. If there is even an America in 20 I'll be amazed..In the mean time we'll be lucky if the white population does get tired of it all and start a civil war, Not against Blacks but against all the other out of line people.. People that complain about the pledge to the flag or stone monements of the ten commandments in city parks.\nIt's a pressure pot about ready to explode.
