"I'm an Un-American". New definition...
Thinking, anti-flag waving/Bible-stumping, reality based, Constitution-loving, anti-imperalist born in the United States.

I'm going to Europe and I'm thinking of having that printed on a T-shirt. What do you think?

1. dont do it
just sew a canadian flag on your backpack & DON'T MENTION THE WAR. its not worth it; they feel sorry for us at this point, not angry.

2. I agree Europeans LOVE Canadians.
You'll be safe and sound with that Canadian Flag on your jacket and backpack. Just be quiet, polite and try to change your accent.

6. I could never manage to pass as a Canadian
Edited on Mon May-15-06 12:21 PM by libhill
my damn southern accent would give me away immediately.... They'd think I just stepped off of the ol' plantation, sipping mint juleps and praising the Lawd for George Dumbya... :(

8. then speak properly,
don't use contractions or slang.

only the English can tell the difference in N. Murkin accents, anyway. and they should talk.

5. my arabic prof in college
was in the military and when he was doing some top-secret stuff over seas, he would just tell people he was Canadian and no one would give it a second thought.
