No I'm not.
I don't think there is any one country that tops us in everything, like I said earlier, many countries have surpassed us in different ways, but not all of them. We used to be the king of the civilized world, but not so much anymore. We've lost our direction.
7 of our universities are on the top 10 list worldwide, but we just barely squeak into the top ten for reading, science, and math.
We are the second most wasteful country, and also the second worst for greenhouse emissions.
#2 for beer consumption. "thumbsup"
#1 for incarceration.
I just wish I could figure out why they have to drive like assholes when they come down to the states.
That is my only complaint. I live about 75 miles from a border crossing and we get tons of people from Alberta and British Columbia in our area. They come down here and spend a lot of money which is great because it supports our community and strengthens our economy.
I just don't understand the way they drive....it's like speed limits are just a suggestion. I mean most everybody I know will fudge the speed limit by 5 or 10 miles an hour but the people from up north seem think they should drive 100mph everywhere they go.
Narrow twisty two lane mountain roads and some jerk feels the need to pass in no passing zones and around blind corners, tailgate, pull out in front of you, cut you off in traffic.....8 out of 10 times it's somebody with an Alberta plate.
I have nothing against them personally, I've talked with many people from up north at various sporting events and in the local stores and they have all been nice people. It just seems like as soon as they get behind the wheel they have be the biggest dick on the roads.
Is it because you're in the U.S. and don't care if you get tickets?? Or does everybody up there just drive like jackasses? I don't know because I've never gone north of the border.
Honest question here I'm not trying to be a butthole. I really don't get it...I mean if everybody up there drove like they do when they come down here you'd all be wiped out in traffic accidents by the end of the year.

It's the same problem here with Americans, so really, nobody is worse, we all suck at driving. You can thank the handy little cell phone for making this all possible.

Hey, I live in Alberta. I keep it within 10 over the speed limit. I'll be the slow driver you see in Kalispell this summer ;-) Maybe these are Albertans who don't realize speed limits in the US are in mph, not kph :mrgreen: Honestly though, there's definitely a lot of dickhead drivers around locally, but that's the case anywhere. When we were in San Diego last year, the local drivers on the freeway up to LA scared the shit out of me :ror:
As for the whole US vs. Canada thing. Yep, we have our differences, we have our similarities. In the end though, I feel blessed to have a "foreign country" that's so easy to visit, relatively safe, and has a lot of folks I consider to be good people and good friends living there "thumbsup" To me, life's too short to argue about politics, war, religion, etc. I'd rather just sit down over a beer and BS about other things, and enjoy the freedoms we have to do so.
