FYI to any French Canadians, but most real French despise you. I have this on good authority from French people who are actually FROM FRANCE...
Orly? this whole thread fails apart from post#1 and post#Barts-face-in-an-igloo.
That being said, speaking as a Canadian, I have no clue why milk in bags is more prominent in Canada than anywhere else. Honestly I hate the *** things, cartons ftw.
as i said earlier i doubt 40 years would of changed which eye is dominant for most people, which is the main focus of that research
Naturally the amount of motorists on the road and other distractions that have cropped up over the last 40 years don't make the slightest of difference. That's a good point, how stupid I am to think otherwise.
countries driving on the left hand side generally have less accident's
how you guys crash over there when 95% of your roads are straight lines amuses me lol
i remember when i went to america, was on this road and the gps said: slight left turn in one hundred and 15 miles
then we finally got to it and it wasnt even a real turn..
Im glad you've been to all of America and know the percentages, while I used to live in Arizona and it was all straight roads and I loved it, I then moved to Tennessee and its nothing but stupidly steep curves up and down mountains and nobody has any sidewalks or a flat drive way. We have one of the deadliest stretch of roads in the country. This is a stupid state and I curse it everyday. Each portion of the country is built differently, the western half is "newer" its built differently then if you went to the new england portion of the country..unless you're one of the big cities of the country which is a pioneer in modern development and shiznit.
America also is a huge country thats highly dependent on self transportation (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/article6801595.ece) hence why we seem to have alot of accidents and yes we drive on the right side of the road but I doubt that matters much as the fact that everybody and their dog is on the road :P
this is really getting silly guys.
Next lets bring up how australians ride in kangaroos and say crikey all day and canadians live in igloos and then lets come up with another America bash like our health care system.
I think the whole "french-canadian" thing is like, how many years does it take and how many generations being born in the country before you're just "canadian"
If I walked around saying I was English/Irish/Welsh/Scottish/German/Danish-American, people would just look at me like I licked too many windows and fell off the back of the short bus. Family has been here long enough to just be called American.
Also, people in France were much nicer to me as an American than people in Quebec.

if you had a road exactly the same in all factors except which side you drive on then which eye is dominant would be the only difference in safety of driving on one side or the other.
@ Daus i obviously made up the 95% thing but if you compare a european road to an american one, our roads are a lot less straight and much thinner.
although that is only because europe was built up so long ago and america is relatively new

We have the same problem with African-Americans. Im not canadian so I dont know the entire history with that portion of french-canadians. It is silly but if theres some sort of history born stigma there where they feel the need to single themselves out well we've not managed to find a solution for that :P

Am I the only one who wants the entire world to convert to Kelvin scale? ;3
Do this and you'll have retards saying "degrees" for another 40-50 years
OH EM EFF GEE. I KNOW!!!! The phrase "degrees Kelvin" deserves a /headslap EVERY SINGLE EFFING TIME.
Let's get some people to populate Antarctica and make it one giant country that uses the Kelvin scale, but not just one giant country, THE FIRST COUNTRY TO USE THE KELVIN SCALE!!!!
Also, people in France were much nicer to me as an American than people in Quebec.
Lol? You met nice people in France? You're either a very attractive female or a very, very rich man. French people are among the rudest in Europe.
Actually, I took some advice from my step-grandmother, who is French (as in, born and raised there).
The people in the cities were a little ruder, but the people outside the cities were very nice. Typically, as long as you made an effort to speak some French, even if you sucked at it, they would work with you and use English if they knew any. If you went with the "everyone should speak English" attitude, you didn't get very far.
She had told me to at least attempt some French, even if I was bad at it and to spend more time outside places like Paris (places where people maybe didn't have as many bad tourist experiences).
That approach works well in a lot of places, not just France.

The countries in green that you see in the picture above use the metric system. Please adapt to me and stop using that incredible retarded imperial measuring system.
