Sex Wars Part 2: Attack of the Flames
When we left our hero CBGBConnisur and our villain USBabe, they argued over the issue of American women, it seems as though CBGB has won the battle. CBGB has saved the universe from the dark side that is USBabe and has made the universe safe for single men looking for sex with hot beautiful European women. He has ended the brainwashing mind control that USBabe has put on men that has prevented them from living out their fantasies. Until the next episode.....

border rat,

I was just pulling on FU's ñeg a little with that MEX-US territorial spat comment... I really don't have anything against Canadians either but it is true that when I run into them in another country (Turkey, Italy, Germany, Africa, wherever) it seems they're always )(and I mean always) bashing the US. I can get away with them telling these tales for a long time without them realizing I am a US citizen because I am not white. The thing about it is, that when I listen to them bad mouthing the US, it really does sound like someone speaking from an inferiority complex.

Peace to everyone! Go forth and SPANK SOME ASS!

OFF TOPIC

kaffir, I recently found out some interesting facts about the US taking the mexican's land in the mid 1800's. Living on the border and spending a lot of time in central mexico, I got tired of saying sorry to all the mexicans for that. So I did a little research on the internet. As it turns out, the whole mexican-american war was fought because Mexico would not recognize that the Republic of Texas was it's own country after the revolution and the Treaty of Velasco. Texas wanted to join the Union, but Mexico said no. So we kicked their butts all the way back to Mexico City and got them to agree to the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo which involved the sale of most of what is now the SW U.S for 15 million. This sale was reparations for a war they started and also compensation for several million in unpaid loans to the US. Also, the area sold contained less than 1% of the mexican population. Who would have thought? I should have known that mexican cantinas were not the best place to learn US history.

To keep this post relevant, I agree that US women are materialistic and less affectionate than their foreign counterparts. However, I believe that foreign women cannot be trusted as there is always a hidden agenda. Monger all you want outside the US, but any relationship that is attempted is indeed a cut-rate one. Unless of course, you are old and grey. Then the company of a young sexy girl is worth any price.

RN,

I guess it was more miscommunication than disagreement. You say "don't be dishonest", I say ... ~"don't be too blunt / move too fast". I suspect we both agree with each other.


Dickhead,

If you want further explanation, send me an e-mail (Pachelbels_Canon_In_D_Major@hotmail.com).

Also, in the US, while Sex-Ed is under local control, to get Federal monies, you have to have an "abstinence" platform.


USbabe,

It was a pleasure ... please enjoy the till next time.


Smiles,
David

Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Fed up is Canadian....This explains a lot. Many questions have been answered....'Nuff said

[Dickhead]

Thanks, FU. I hope you realize/realise that I was genuinely curious. The powers that be would shred their collective shorts here in the US if a teacher used a dildo to demonstrate condom use (well, assuming they knew what the word "dildo" meant, which is by no means a given!). Drug education is fucked up here too since of course all drugs are presumed to be equally bad.

Maybe off topic, but I hereby call on my country to yank its head out of its ass and start teaching birth control in the public schools on a practical, no-nonsense basis.

Then the next step is to start teaching sex education, as in education as to how sex can be enjoyed safely and pleasurably, and how to develop sexual skills. How is this any different than drivers' education?

Oh, wait a minute, we stopped teaching that in American public schools too. Along with physical education ... could that maybe possibly have anything to do with our obesity problem? Nah, couldn't be.

Again, all I can do about this is apologize/apologise. Or emigrate. Too bad it has to come to that.

I love my country. I hate my country. I am proud to be an American. I am ashamed to be an American.

I need some safe drugs right now, and some safe sex right now. I need a plane ticket to Méjico or Costa Rica or Australia or The Netherlands. Maybe I need a kick in the ass.

Ahh fuck it; I'll just go get some beer and forget about it. Oh, wait a minute, I can't because some fucks decided you can't sell beer after 11 PM.

[Dickhead]

"Obese" is fatter than "overweight." If you see my earlier post, the "overweight" numbers were way higher, like I think close to 40%. But as FU says, we're off topic here.

[CBGBConnisur]

Europe, Canada, and America are good and bad for the specific person. If you're aim in life is to get filthy stinking rich, by all means the USA is the BEST place to do it. If you want to have a active social life outside of a job and long vacations as well as time for doing other things like having hot sex Europe is WAY above America, I can't help but notice how many fat cows I have to see in NYC before I meet a diamond, its not like that in Europe, with the exception of the UK and Ireland, most European women seem to take good care of themselves and that makes them better lovers, it also makes for hotter sex.

Dickhead, only 19 percent of Americans obese? There's got to be something wrong with those statistics. I went out for a long walk around Manhattan this weekend and saw about 7 fat women for every 3 in shape women on the street. I did something like this in Paris, and my ratio was like 8 in shape women for 2 fat women, and on top of that most of the overweight women in Paris were obviously over 40. Almost half the fat women I saw in NYC were in their 20's.

Okay... Canada is a better country than the US! Where can I sign up?
I can't wait to hear April Wine and Moxie, Triumph and Alan Thicke on the radio 24/7. I also can't wait to spend some of that pretty colored money. And the Canadian football is something else, ain't it?
BTW, if the US really needs Canadian water, won't they just take it like they did all that Mexican land way back when? My former countrymen are such bastards!

[Fedup]

Dickhead... With regard to your question of what is taught in Canadian sex education courses: When I was in high school in the 80's I was taught about reproductive systems, birth control, STD's, fallacies (such as pulling out before it's too late), and was also given demonstrations on how to roll on a condom (on a dildo held by the teacher). Since I've left, I've read that the age at which this course is taught has been lowered, and that material has been added to include drug use/abuse. Course material is mandated by the federal government with the provincial governments able to create their own methods of teaching the material. Saskatchewan is one of the least populated provinces in Canada and is likely closer to the church and conservatism. It's likely a small town attitude vs the big city attitude that you see everywhere.

Nursing was perhaps a bad example. As the baby boomers age there are far less people who want to clean up the shit stains that the elderly leave in their pants. Trades (construction) are next in line... In about 10 years I'll be making that triple digit income we all aspire to... and I'll have grease under my nails while doing it.

Kaffir said... "When was the last time a US citizen tried passing themselves off as Canadian?"...

This happens DAILY. When I was up in Toronto a few weeks ago I bought a Roots Canada (it has a Canadian flag on it... they can only be bought inside Canada) t-shirt for my American GF. She was sooooo happy to see the shirt she clapped her hands and then jumped me. Why???... Because she travels to Europe frequently and Americans are treated like crap while Canadians are treated like royalty (I have more examples if you want). Talk to any student who has traveled abroad and they will all tell you that the best way to make friends is to sew a Canadian flag onto your coat or backpack. I said once before that Americans are fine as individuals (although there are always losers to be found in any place), but are pricks as a country. The problem is their ignorance of the world (a recent survey revealed that most don't even know who Koffi Anan or Jean Chretien are) and their arrogance as "the best in the world". It's time for America to step to the other side of the fence and take a good look at themselves... they may not like what they see... the rest of the world doesn't. The only country that sees Canada as "the retarded little brother" is America... but just wait until you need our water... you'll be paying DEARLY.

This is my last post on the subject. While I may be able to argue that American Women are arrogant and ignorant it's a bit of a stretch to be on topic.

[Stranger99]

I am not sure which scale are we using here to compare one country to the other.
If it is merely the economic scale then there is no doubt: US wins over the rest of the globe (maybe excluding Switzerland, which is neutral anyhow).
But I am not sure on what other scale would the US be the No.1 country.

Statistics is always misleading in judging the culture of a population. If I am not mistaken, I believe that a while ago a statistical study confirmed that the majority of the American people interviewed thought that New Mexico was actually in Mexico.

There should be no doubt whatsoever that culture is a broader term that cannot be limited to a high school diploma.

How many countries, cultures, languages, people do you know other than yours? These are the things that define how open minded (and in my opinion, educated) you are.

But then , having a President that, before being elected, had never gone out of the country other than in Mexico (spring break 1966) there is not much to expect.

[Dickhead]

Actually FU, I'm a little older than you as we know, but when I was in public school in the US they did not teach an "abstinence platform"; they taught a ZERO platform as far as sex was concerned. In other words, the subject was ignored completely.

What do they teach in Canada, sex education-wise? My latest knowledge of US public schools' sex education is that it falls under the heading of "local control" in many instances; i.e., no consistency and wide variations depending on how conservative the particular locality is (or isn't). Where I live now they do at least teach about contraception but not to the point of actually showing or talking about how to use it effectively.

Hope you know I'm not bashing Canada here. The Canadians I hang with most often lately are from Saskatchewan and they tell me things are more conservative there than elsewhere in Canada. This is probably similar to the US in that the coasts are more liberal and the central areas more conservative???

But I do question what you said about diplomas being handed out like trinkets to support athletics as a large majority of college athletes in the US do NOT graduate, and no one seems to care, and that sucks even worse. Also, I will say that a weakness in the data I found on both of our countries' census sites is that community college or 2-year degrees did not seem to be well identified. I am a product of the US community college system, and would not be where I am (wherever that is) without it, and I respect it to a certain degree.

Also I agree with Ceebee Jeebie that your nurse example is somewhat flawed, cuz EVERY country wants to hire nurses from WHATEVER country, to my understanding.

Teacher shortage, nurse shortage, prostitute shortage, shortage of CPAs .... PAY MORE and the shortage will go away. Economics 101. I guess the politicians slept through that class.

[Kaffir]

I guess I had my last post reported to the WSG BIG BROTHER. Well, I'll keep it less inflammatory this time. Don't really want to get into the US-Canada shit tossing contest too much since Canada, no matter what its "fine citizens have to say" is still considered to be our little retarded brother... and with good reason.
Canadians bash us all the time but who really cares? When the chips are on the table and the bad guys come gunning for us, we'll still protect our little retarded brother.
Have news for you FedUp... The US pursues RNs from all over the globe since there is a shortage here, not because you produce better ones than are produced here. You know why Canada doesn't pursue US nurses as vigorously? You guys can't afford 'em.
When was the last time a US citizen tried passing themselves off as Canadian? I'm not saying Canada is a bad place to live but it is a good place to leave.
