    Honestly Liam, if you inserted Canadian in place of French in the "joke" would you feel the same? Not that it would make disparaging remarks about a whole nation acceptable if you personally were not offended, but the exercise may give you a different perspective.

    I, for one, enjoyed it. It made me chuckle and I did need that today. I have compared the "Scots" part of it to many native tribal people here, as many times "we" were asked to be at the forefront of conflicts between the Colonists and the Brits on occasion.....

    Thank you for posting it.......

    Perhaps, I should take offense that "Canadians" were not even considered worthy of poking fun at!

    Guys, it's getting a bit "warm" in here. I tried to hint earlier that I wasn't impressed, but perhaps you'd consider this a gentle shot across the bow lest the temperature rise and the quality slide downhill. I was not comfortable with the first post, but let's leave nationalities and national stereotypes out of this forum.

    Thanks.
