    You know you're Australian when the beer you drink is larger than you.

    You know your a Montanan when going to the grocery store involves hiking over the Rocky Mountain Divide, descending into thick forests, a jont through moose infested swampland, sailing down the river, and somehow finally ending up in a small town that doesn't have one.

    You know your Canadian when...

    1) You end your sentence with eh? every single time
    2) Every sentence has a swear word in it
    3) when people ask if you wear snowshoes and ride huskies (we seriously don't)

    You know when your American...
    • You get angry at Canadians for using 'Celsius' and 'Meters'
    • You get angry at Mexico and the immigrants they send over
    • You get angry at Venezuela for electing Chavez
    • You get angry at Iran for electing Ahmadinijad
    • You can't spell Ahmadinajad. I'm-a-dinner-jacket.
    • You still can't spell Ahmadinigad
    • You get angry at France for being sissies. Then they elected Sarkozy.
    • You are angry at Russia for being Communists.
    • You forget that Russia is no longer Communist
    • You get angry at China for selling you lead-tainted toys
    • So you go buy a Japanese television, filled with lead.
    • You can name only five Presidents, but you can rattle off football stats
    • You call it football, and dare anyone to tell you different
    • You think of 'across the pond' as that restaurant on the lake
    • You wonder why we care about North Korea
    • You can't decide who won the 2000 Presidental election, but if they had American Idol election system, there wouldn't be a problem
    • You think that global warming is a hoax
    • You think that global warming is a fact
    • Calling someone a 'redneck' is a slur
    • calling someone a 'liberal' is a slur
    • calling someone a 'Yankee' is a slur



      So you can't comprehend why terrorists call you 'angry', 'ignorant', or 'surly'
      Or maybe it's because you can't think of the definition of 'angry', 'ignorant', or 'surly'. Maybe if the terrorists understood 'America' 'Freedom' and 'Fried Chicken' they wouldn't be so angry, ignorant, or surly.

    Re: Pursuit of happiness
    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
