Default Why........??

Why is it that most Americans and Canadians don't like each other?

Is it competition or something?

I don't get it!

Why is it that the Scottish/Welsh/Irish/English/French don't like each other?

I would say they are too much alike.

the reason the scottish, welsh, english and french don't like us Irish is because we're about to take the grand slam in the 6nations!!
and let's not leave out the italians!!

i have to agree that the original post is a sweeping generalisation and very meaningless.

Yeah it's a tough one because there is certainly 'nation bashing' going on between the countries but for the everyday person there isn't any dislike just one upmanship if you like...

The 'our country is better than yours' thing

Really? I'm surprised. Most Americans are blissfully opinion free about Canadians, and might well struggle, if pushed, to find the place on the map.


Maybe a few Canadians are bitter about this general indifference to a place that is so obviously superior to the home of the brave and land of the free?

You need to ditch your friends and family...and get some new nice ones

Could be just personalities clashing....it does happen you know
