What no one saw in the dressing room was Brodeur taking off his jersey to reveal an American one, saying "AHA, I AM A SPY FOR THE OTHER SIDE" as he ran around.

To be honest I am happy with taking Lenin down a peg. TAKE THAT COMMUNISM.

I guess that explains the whole "fatso" deal.

Don't act like Brodeur didn't do his damndest to help you out with those goals.

Man. Was Rochette really deserving of the bronze? Feels like the judges bought into the hype/stories all around.

Her and the yank both made some minor errors, but the routines were both fine and in the end quite similar. I don't think there was much in the way of pity points. Despite everything her run was still pretty solid.

Alright you Americans, we will see you Sunday Afternoon to give you a well deserved ass-kicking.

see, i would be saying things like that, but as a Rider fan i know better.

IT'S ON LIKE FUCKING DONKEY KONG

Hawkeye, as a Canadian you know who really cares. This is going to be pretty much a great end to an awesome Olympic tournament. Its like Salt Lake City over again. Who knows, back in 2002, we won the gold medal in the American territory, it could be the American's time to take the gold medal from Canadian territory.

Canada vs. USA is the new biggest hockey Olympic rivalry. I expect this to be a really good back and forth game.

All I know for sure is that Sunday Afternoon, work is going to be shut down for all of us to watch that gold medal game. I'll be one of the loudest guy's there, and I'll be cheering for Canada non-stop.

If we lose, which I don't think we will, I will accept defeat and take grilling from a lot of people on the forum and even on my worksite (we have a lot of Americans working with us). All in all; its all in good fun.

We're getting our revenge you better watch out.

By the way Hawkeye you still need to get your game choice in to me.

Won't lie, part of me wanted Solvakia to win, then win the gold. How unexpected would that have been? I mean... crazy right?

It's good to know that the Canadian women have already secured Gold.

Honestly though, i will only be truly upset if Martin doesn't walk away with Gold in Men's Curling. Yes. I'm following curling closer than hockey.

To be honest, I want the Canadian hockey team to lose too, but because Canadians are such smug fucking cunts about hockey, and I hate it. The nationalism that suddenly spews out of this country whenever somebody starts skating is fucking disgusting.

How dare we have national pride about something. :(

There is something wrong with our self image if we don't like being fucking patriotic from time to time. Like at the olympics. That we're hosting.

It's like we're a country of self-hating jews. The fuck is wrong with you? Christ. Ignore the trash talk coming out of both camps if you want but jesus shit what a crybaby.

I don't understand being proud of athletes that I've never met and have nothing to do with.

If you want to be proud of the country, alright, there's plenty to be proud of. That some strangers skate real good doesn't strike me as a good reason.

You can just say that you don't like or understand sports, you know. It's cool. Some people aren't into athletics.

I do like and understand sports, though.

I don't like or understand being proud of other people being good at sports.

So what can we be proud of? I don't know many of the politicians in office, so I can't be directly proud of the government in this country, I guess.

I'm not in the armed forces, nor do I know many soldiers, so can't be proud of how we are acting in the middle east. I pay taxes I guess, so maybe that's a tenuous enough link for you.

I voted, but the party I voted for lost, so I can't really be proud of the prime minister at all, hmm?

Because I don't know some fuckers who represent this country in some way, shape, or form, I'm not allowed to be proud of the job they're doing?

Lick my balls.

Then the Olympics are not for you. Enjoy the next two years without them.

So if some dude was struck by a train and had nearly every bone in his body broken, then spent the next five years relearning how to do fucking everything - the simplest task like eating breakfast becoming a grueling trial of pain and frustration every single day - but stuck with it and worked every day to become stronger until, in a triumphant display of willpower and determination, he completed a marathon...

...you couldn't be proud of someone like that because fuck all what's he got to do with anything in your life?

Man, you are fucking cold. No wonder God put you in Canada. You're refrigerating the place!

Let's define the word "proud".

from the dictionary:
feeling self-respect or pleasure in something by which you measure your self-worth

No, I don't measure my own self-worth by what other people do, because that's fucking stupid. If some guy broke all his bones and worked his way back, he should be proud of that feat. I would not be proud, because I didn't have anything to do with it. The actual athletes who are competing in the olympics, and their trainers, and their families, you know, people who might have actually influenced them in some way, they should be proud. I would not expect an average Canadian to feel pride in a Canadian athlete anymore than I'd expect someone from Nigeria to feel pride in a Canadian athlete, as they both have done the same amount of work to further that athlete's progress.

Fuck it, I just want examples of what's acceptable, here.

Not being the United States of America.

Your nation does pride itself in that aspect often.

Apparently not. I have had absolutely nothing to do with making this country not an American state, so I can not think that way.

Sorry Amerijerks. I've been wrong all these years :(

If you can feel ashamed that you're from the same country as Skills, then you damn well can take pride in the achievement of a random Canadian athlete as well.

It's quite acceptable to take pride in your self-worth for being human enough to respect another person whose accomplishments cause you to feel better about the world in general.

Who the hell dissed this
