Knowledge of anything is beneath most Americans apparently. Case in point, today in English class my Professor said that we are going to read a paper by John Ashcroft. Then she asked if we knew who he was. :rolleyes: I started to laugh, but was silenced when no body raised their hand. It was disgusting. Just needed to vent. :mad: -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

No not a joke. Some kid said "I've heard the name before." I lost all hope for the future today. But I did get extra credit for being the only non-idiot. So it all evens out. :rolleyes: -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

That's Access Hollywood, Everybody Loves Raymond, 2 episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Shark, News at 11, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Becker, Judge Joe Brown, and Judge Judy. At least, that's what TitanTV is telling me. :P -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

God damn, people. I'm horrified to ask, Andraste, but what level of school are you in? Also, about anti-Canada feelings: they don't really exist, but the more ignorant of our kind see no reason why we can't annex Canada and would probably consider any protestations on the same level as whining for the sake of whining. Apparently there are some people around the northern border region who envy their southern counterparts their somewhat more actual problem of illegal immigration and, apparently, the legitimacy of their overreaction. Seriously, people? North American unity? Maybe? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy. In case of emergency, break glass.

By Tyran: quote:Um... I'm drawing a blank here. English and French for the country and New Brunswick, and English for the other provinces (don't know about the territories, though). Some municipalities have more: my city's downtown has signs in English, French, and Cree.

Not on the WB.  That's where all the "teens" show is. Additional vomit.And there is no news on the Cartoon Network. In case you were wondering. And Sir David, it's a mostly Freshman English 102 class. I've been depressed since then. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

I'm sure Canada has many other languages besides English and French, but I don't think they're official languages. —Alorael, who certainly doesn't think any third language is as, ahem, vocal as French or English. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

My wife and I checked the Netflix records for the past 3 months. We've returned exactly 30 discs, evenly distributed. That means around 20 hours a month we've watched the tube. Having cut off Directv due to their predatory accounting techniques, I'm very willing to talk about the dreck available on television these days, just not so qualified anymore. ps. I still <3 that pukericon. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |
