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?

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.

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... :(

don't use contractions or slang.
only the English can tell the difference in N. Murkin accents, anyway. and they should talk.
