If you are serious about the t-shirt ( ), here is my rant:Why do you people like making fun of the Canadians? It is such a stereotypical, rude, and fictional statement that they say 'eh' ever so much. THEY DON'T!! For crying out loud, have any of you ever ACTUALLY been to Canada and stayed with Canadians? THEY DON'T SAY EH!! That statement just gets ON MY NERVES. Not all Canadians are the same. Not all Canadians say the same thing. Not all Canadians say EH!! Probably the same amounts of Americans say 'eh' as do Canadians!!! I mean, why would anyone think that all Canadians are maple syrup drinking, funny talking, eh sayers?!! All Canadians I know, which includes the ENTIRETY of my mother's family and many of her friends, DON'T SAY EH!! And that is over 27 Canadian persons that I know who don't fit in this stereotype!! And my mother lived in Canada for her whole childhood, went to college there, and still returns with my brother and me EVERY SUMMER, and does NOT SAY EH!! That statement, that "We're more Canadian than you, eh" statement, is SO wrong, SO blatantly WRONG and STERYOTYPICAL, that you people....sigh.....you people ought to be ashamed. I mean really, why would you want to even be associated with that? Why don't you just go around saying that "You can't trust a colored person around women"? They said that way back when, they really, truly did. They thought that ALL coloured persons were dirty and WRONG. They thought that ALL coloured persons were the same in at least one characteristic. That is the SAME now. I mean, you are BASICALLY SAYING, that ALL Canadians say EH, as ALL colored persons cannot be trusted around women(by the way, I am not endorsing that statement about coloured persons, I am only referencing it), and ALL Asian persons are smart. IT IS NOT TRUE!! If you don't believe the coloured person statement, why is the Canadian one any more acceptable? You may say, 'ah, but we were JOKING, no harm done!'. Ah, but do you know this? Back then, they may say, 'ah, but we were JOKING about the colored persons, no harm done.' How is one less painful than the other? Now, when you hear the statement, "no colored person can be trusted around women", you cringe, sensing the BLATANT racism, the BLATANT insult, THE BLATANT LIE. But now, why sense you not the BLATANT untruth directed at Canadians? Why sense you not the BLATANT implication of national supremacy? WHY SENSE YOU NOT THE BLATANT LIES?! NOT ALL CANADIANS SAY EH!!!!!!!!! ![]() If you were being sarcastic/jocular, well...read it anyways, you may learn something. |

Michel, in that case, which do you prefer: the new one or the "There is no 'I' in Science Olympiad"? Because they're both blatantly wrong. |

There is no i in Science Olympiad, because it shows how they work in a group. |

There are two 'i's in ScIence OlympIad. If they said Scyence Olympyad, that would be another matter. This is why Botball's better. Because there is no I in Botball. |

You see, I think that it is better because I know what it means, so I don't try to pick holes in it. |

We all know what it means. It's just that most of us also know that it's wrong. |

I believe you mean panphobia, seeing as the prefix pan, not pam, means 'all', and if this were true, you would be frightened of your computer as well, thus you couldn't type. |

NO. I do NOT mean pan-. I mean pam-. Besides, I'm sure you stay in a dark room all day away from water, outside, eights and gays. |

Actually, that's not far from the truth. For the past few days (sat. and up), I have sat in my room, door closed, blinds pulled, lights off, no gays in my room, no water in my room, and no eights sulking behind my chair to my knowledge. |

I'm sure you did. Besides, if you had octophobia, you would be scared just to write and read about eights. SO. 8888888888888888888888

But actually, panphobia, panophobia, pantophobia, and pamphobia are all the same thing. And it's not like I really have pamphobia/panphobia/pantophobia/panophobia. |
