    That’s true, but some of your dystopian ideas require the entire planet to fall into collapse and ruin. Eventually the odds are pretty good that the rest of the world (assuming we’re in decent shape ourselves) will start to provide humanitarian aide to the US.

    And stating that “most of the world hates the U.S.” is definitely a sign that you don’t quite understand how we feel about the US.

      I guess I’ve just given up and assume everyone would just cut us off. I’ve really only seen negativity twords the US, so that colors my view. There’s also my buddy from Japan who advised me to say I was Canadian when traveling internationally due to the negativity he’s seen directed at the US when he’s traveling Asia and Europe.

        Speaking as a Canadian, your friend from Japan can fuck right off.

        Even the good people from the US (and there absolutely are some - some of my dearest friends are from SoCal) are not Canadian, and either (a) can’t pull it off, or (b) skew the rest of the world’s view of Canadians.

        So please don’t.
