    God, how insecure would you have to be, to have your 'beauty' evaluated by a website?

    Disagree with that, there certainly is an English look. Back in Canada we actually are legitimately multicultural as we're a new nation and we're accepting of other nationalities, we never had a chance to develop our own "race" (not the right word but you know what I mean). You'd never really peg anyone as "Canadian" just by looking at them.

    What about these?

    South Park has ruined every opportunity I get to meet people. Someone ALWAYS fecking references that the second they find out where I'm from, then I have to deal with people breaking out into "Blame Canada!" all night. :(

    I love winding up Canadians! Its so easy, just ask them if they are American, and when they say Canadian say 'where is that?"

    The only reason it winds us up is because we've had to deal with it no matter where we go. It's not funny, original, or clever, and we're sick of formulating responses to it. EVERYONE does it.

    It's like if every single person you met outside of Ireland insisted that you were a leprechaun or the guy from Lucky Charms.

    Gets old very quick.

    from my experience Canadians get pissed off if you think they are American

    When in America people might mention leprechauns, I giggle inside and maybe tell them stories about leprechauns

    theyre 2 different reactions

    Perhaps your feelings would change if it happened every single time you were introduced to someone. Multiple times in a night. And then they never stopped calling you it, and constantly made references to it in every average non-nationality-related conversation.

    Also, calling a Canadian an American is like calling an Irish person English.

    maybe you should tell them to stop?

    Well they clearly call you American to wind you up so you should play up on it and ask where Eastmeath is. :pac: If they think you're not annoyed by it, the novelty will soon wear off.
