I guess this is good for Canadian people and for me as well.
I'm still not happy about the malfunctioning and shoddy products, but I could get a warranty and well, maybe I'll get lucky and nothing will happen.

Xbox360s are guaranteed to explode in your face. They're actually being given to insurgents for both the War on Terror and the War in Iraq.

The super Canada price-cut is an American plot to blow Canada off the face of the earth. You don't know about it since you're not an American Citizen.

 

[블라스]

Anything >>> Being an american citizen.

 

[hippie_hunter]

America >>> The rest of the world.

 

[블라스]

In Bizarro World (also better than USA, btw).

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Nonsense! In America you're allowed to do whatever you want.

 

[블라스]

Hahaha yeah, right.

 

[XtromaniaK]

Well, that's not exactly true. You're allowed to drink yourself into a coma, but you're not allowed to get medicinal marijuana to ease the pain of chemotherapy. You're not allowed to do anything that offends the religious right either, that too, oh, and it's looked down upon to be a Muslim in America.

 

[블라스]

I love Extro, he's realistic.

 

[XtromaniaK]

Eh, yeah. I love the country, but to say that it's the greatest country in existence is pretty naive. There are plenty of stupid laws in place, and our justice system isn't the most fool-proof considering plenty of corruption in police forces in rural cities and the Deep South.

There are the high points though, which is you can get basically any kind of food or cultural delicacy here that you could dream of. Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Mexican, German, Italian. You name it, we've got it. It's a diverse place, yeah. But it's also full of jackasses and people that are so bitter and xenophobic that it makes me sick. I would also contend that we have some of the best musicians in the planet along with Britain.

Though, I can't help but miss spending time in Canmore or London. Both of those places were definitely some of the greatest places to spend a few weeks. Melting pot is nice and all, but sometimes there are better places to live.
