Get the Stanislava mug.FTR Canada is actually the best friend of the United States of America as opposed to that "great piece of crap" up north. And also for the most part Canadians and Americans do like each other so this "bitching" you so talk about doesn't really apply except to minority groups.

Person 2: That's no piece of crap at all loser, that's Canada the best friend of the United States of America.

Get the united states of america mug.A term devised by Robert D. Raiford, curmudgeon-at-large, and the only REAL reason to listen to the John Boy and Billy show. It's what the good ol' U.S. of A have become thanks to the panty-waisted touchy-feely liberal types who go out of their way looking for something to offend them, and get said panties in a knot when they find it. Hey, it's called the right to freedom of speech, ya horse's ass. Go check out the first ammendment. NOWHERE does it say that you have the right not to be offended. So quit calling for more tolerance and diversity training, and just learn to deal with it. Instead of trying to make us all overly sensitive, why the hell don't you go out and get a real job, and mind your own damn business. Sometimes the truth's a bitch, fuckers.
Wow, we can't say ____ anymore because some group got their poor little feeler's hurt and pitched a fit and made everyone take sensitivity training? Geez, some people get their skivvies in a twist over the most trivial things. It's like we're living in the United States of the Offended or something.

Get the United States of the Offended mug.Suburban areas where the predominance of malls and chain stores have so homogenized the landscape that there are few remaining external clues where you are. The result of spending any length of time in such areas is a "generic" experience of America, i.e., an experience that is identical whether you are in Texas, Massachusetts, Ohio, or California. May also include extensive housing developments characterized by tract housing or, worse, McMansions.
Every "mom-and-pop" shop that had given the area its charm and character had been replaced by a Walmart, a Payless, a McDonalds, or a Starbucks -- transforming what was once a delightful town into just another corner of the United States of Generica.
