LOL, I now represent the United States? Alright, let me clarify: I was not trying to insult you. I'm trying to say this: Don't let people that don't matter
matter. Getting deeply offended by words gives the speaker power. Do not give him that power by reacting.
To further clarify, I think Canadians are perfectly fine. I've never met a bad Canadian (though most of my experiences in Canada involved strippers, bartenders, etc.) I think anyone serving their country (i.e Candian military) is brave and honorable: which is exactly why I don't think it's necessary to be offended on their behalf.
My point was that I don't think you should give these guys and their words power over your day. Don't let them wreck your day man, by knowing you're on the side of right you should be secure.
