LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 11, 2006 @ 11:11 AM Self depreciating humour is definately a Canadian trait. I was born and bred in the UK and have lived in Ontario for 6 years and I love it. Canada has some probs but nothing compared to the UK even, let alone the US but people still find it in their heart to whinge about the tiniest things, like the Leafs not qualifying for the play-offs to show that humankind is never satisfied, no matter how poor or rich.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 11, 2006 @ 12:23 PM the people who have the real problems in canada cover the largest land area but have the smallest populations - namely the conditions in which the Inuit and native indian populations live. A few crackheads with guns in TO and vancouver etc is par for the course in modern urban life - until some innocent people were killed recently no-one even blinked an eye -disturbing but nothing original in a modern city. Poverty/homelessness etc is also a blight but not on a scale comparable with big cities in the US or Europe.
Lady-M	Date: March 11, 2006 @ 12:24 PM yeah, show that canadian pride. wooo. . .

K3VIN	Date: March 12, 2006 @ 11:26 PM ughh.. lets invoke an arguement over canada... This was a joke, and in fact do to the bizzare humour may urge the ineducated to learn more... i know canada is a great country and doesnt have that many problems, thats why is a great country, and humans will always find something to bitch about, if its the leafs or not.

LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 13, 2006 @ 10:14 AM respect kev I knew your lyrics were just for fun and I see the irony, I particularly like the reference to going to school on a dogsled !! (which some people stateside think is our preferred method of travel, I saw the Rick Mercer interviews...)
K3VIN	Date: March 13, 2006 @ 4:20 PM is it uneducated... damn it i always mix that up.. its funny in school i was like im no longer gonna use slang and speak proper english for the rest of my life for you ineducated people, and they are like its uneducated.. i cried.
jewsus	Date: March 13, 2006 @ 6:42 PM speaking of canada's social problems...i read in an online newspaper column, about a month ago, that canada actually has more violent crimes per capita than that of the united states. sounds crazy, i know, but the facts were taken from a legit survey. damn, i wish i could find that article again...i'll post a link if i come across it.
shadowself	Date: March 13, 2006 @ 7:47 PM Sure about that? http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/011218/d011218b.htm Based on selected offences, the United States has had a much higher rate of reported violent crime than Canada. The homicide rate was three times higher in the United States than it was in Canada, while the American rate for aggravated assault was double the Canadian rate. For robbery, the rate was 65% higher in the United States. On the other hand, since 1990, Canada has recorded slightly higher rates of property crime, although the rates have gradually been converging during the late 1990s. Canada has higher reported rates than the United States for breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft and arson.
EchoMinor	Date: March 13, 2006 @ 10:37 PM shit i thought this was an invitation to have some humor around canadian stereotypes... my favorite is from south park bigger longer and uncut: canadian version of "what are you all laughing about" "whot are you all laufin aboot!"
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:13 AM yes, i'm absolutely positive it was higher violent crime rate per capita in canada. i dunno, maybe the article you got wasn't based on per capita. cos i know the article i read said the U.S. still has a higher number of crime reports, but when you figure in the population there's actually something like 50% higher of a rate in canada. maybe the percentage wasn't that high, i can't remember, but i know it was some astoundingly high number. also, i read the link you posted, that was statistics shown from a survey taken in 2000. the one i read was from 2005. ARRRRRRRRGH!!! i wish i could find the damn article!!!!
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:24 AM i seriously doubt the crime rate percentage is higher in canada. Considering going to a dangerous city of canada like toronto is a joek compared to being in detroit, d.c., etc. but etherelectic u gave me an interesting idea for a skit
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:30 AM blah, this is the closest thing i could find about the topic. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1466631/posts its not from the news article i read, but rather from an author and professor that has his doctorate in economy and law, or something like that. these stats were based off of 2003's already shown data and projections of 2004's, since at the time it was not released. canada's officals have in fact placed much blame on the U.S. for their increase of violent crimes. there've been news reports of officials knocking the states for allowing gun trafficing across the border and such. which really, is quite dumb, considering their own border patrol are as much at fault for letting it happen. but regardless, the guns come from america, and the canadian officials blame the U.S. for their citizens using them to harm each other. ridiculous...
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:33 AM just reminder, these facts are based off of "PER CAPITA", not total number of reports. also, remember, this is "violent crime rate", not crime rate.
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:38 AM just reminder, these facts are based off of "PER CAPITA", not total number of reports. also, remember, this is "violent crime rate", not crime rate.
EchoMinor	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:40 AM i never heard of canada having high levels of crime anyways. always thought of canada as peaceful. sure some parts are rough, but damn in every major city in the US, there is crime everywhere. i never go to downtown jax at night!
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:50 AM WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! i didn't find the article, but i found the next best thing...actually, its probably better than actually finding the article. these are the two violent crime statistics from each of the countries. Canada : http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/legal02.htm U.S. : http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_04/offenses_reported/violent_crime/index.html as you can see, canada's rate is roughly 50% (in 2004) higher than that of the U.S.'s. now, that doesn't completely prove that in 2005 the numbers were exactly the same, but in order for canada to get back down to the same percentage of the U.S. they'd have had to make up a ridiculous amount. i mean, year to year country's violent crime rates usually only fluctuate at the most about 10%. if the two countries were even to be the same the U.S. would have to sky rocket 25% and canada would have to plummet 25%. and that situation isn't even feasible.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 1:11 AM 2.0 homicides per 100,000? tthat seems very low... im pretty sure america beats taht rate.
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 1:19 AM it is, more than twice that actually. but canada's sexual crime rate is more than twice that of the U.S., and canada's assault rate is almost three times that of the U.S.. remember, i was talking about violent crime as a whole, not just murder.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 1:44 AM well... ur less likely to die in canada im sure.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 1:44 AM BTW comment on my lyrics... that was the main point
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 2:04 AM well, the thread kinda took a turn when people started talking about how great canada's society is, so i figured i'd point of some little known facts. as far as your lyrics go...they're funny i guess. i hate rap with a passion though, so i'm not really the person to be asking their opinion.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 11:25 AM ^^^typical genre person who sticks to what he lkikes and gives no other a chance... theres a lot of rap out there.. theirs even a genre called alternative rap, where jazz or alternative helps it out and their is no negative message, like jurassic 5, i think u heard to much mainstream to see their is real talent.. but w/e.. hating a type of music with a passion is very naive...
AnnB	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:02 PM The United States HAS/had a much higher rate of reported violent crime than Canada and this is a fact, there is violence in every countries, but it is well known that US is a pretty violent and rude one, I've been there for three months and I wouldn't go back (no offense), I guess there are a few fine places but I am just making a point.
AnnB	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:03 PM By the way very funny K3 hihi.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 12:04 PM hihi lol
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 2:34 PM wow kev, way to make assumptions based off of my distaste for rap. i have in fact heard quite a bit of it, even some of the underground stuff (on of my best friends is a huge fan of this genre). i don't like it. it has nothing to do with negative messages in the lyrics. hell, half of the music i'm into has negative messages. seriously, its pretty ridiculous to say someone's closeminded simply because they don't like a certain genre of music. i'm sure if i made you listen to some brutal death metal or goregrind you wouldn't like either. its called "personal opinion". on a side note, AnnB, did you even read the statistics in the links that i posted? it clearly shows canada having 50% more violent crimes per capita than the U.S.. or were you talking about pure number of reports? cos rate of any kind of crime is based on per capita, or per 100,000 people. because while the number of reports in the U.S. is higher, there's also a higher population in the states.
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 2:41 PM distaste, dislike, u said u hated it with a passion, its pretty naive to hate a genre... sometimes i say it too... but i wouldnt like something i wouldnt hate it..
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 2:52 PM its not naive at all. i already told you i've had experience in the genre, i just don't like it. its not like my opinions are based off of ignorance. also, yes, i dislike, have a distaste for, and hate rap. and yes, it is quite a strong feeling. but its my personal opinion, and its hardly naive.
pangtera	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 3:31 PM Well, despite their problems, I still think Canada is aye-okay with me.
jewsus	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 3:48 PM canada is a nice place. i don't mean for my posts to seem like i'm anti-canada or anything. every country has its problems. it just seems like most people are uninformed about this topic. it is a serious issue though, and i think people should know about it. in earlier decades there was hardly any of these crimes being committed there, and i just think its a shame that its risen this high and no one seems to notice.
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 5:10 PM You're less likely to get a bullet in your head in Canada, although Toronto is catching up, with crackheads and gangs shooting each other up with guns smuggled across from the US - so yes, you might be more likely to have your car stolen but I know which I would prefer...
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 7:03 PM Ur friend probably lieks crappy rap.. thats it... i hate screaming, i like teh music that backs it but screaming = somethging ur not suppsoed to enjoy.. jurassic 5!
K3VIN	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 7:04 PM jewsus what kind of rap have u listened too, just liek rock and metal theere are numerous genres.. most unoted on dmusic.
Distilled1	Date: March 14, 2006 @ 10:40 PM Lets play beer hunter 'eh
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 2:34 AM i couldn't tell you what the rap names are that i've heard. i never cared enough to ask or remember when they were being told to me. the only name i can remember is atmosphere. other than that i can't really tell you much. your reply about my friend liking crappy rap though is pretty silly. i mean, just cos i don't like it doesn't mean it has to be crappy rap. i'm sure if you showed me some of your favorite albums i wouldn't like them either. i just don't like the genre, pretty much everything it has to offer. its all basically composed of poetry over a beat. sometimes there's a little more to it, but when you get down to the core of the genre, that's what it is. and to me that's not good music. i like instruments, not synthesized sound. when i listen to something i want to hear talented musicians playing to the best of their abilities. and don't even get me started on screaming in music...
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 3:44 AM jewsus...You have a weird name and aviatar. Got Rape? could you not think of something better. K3..you Rock,lryics !! Rocks. Canadian Bacon
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 3:46 AM brandon's not a weird name...and i think my aviatar is funny...but seriously...raping is bad kids...and don't do drugs
shadowself	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:07 AM Can I see stats on both countries from the same source, please?
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:12 AM Brandon is not a weird name,One of my good friend's name is Brandon and Rap is Good!!..alot better than the name Jewsus and a avaitar that most woman and some men would find offensive,not Funny! But it's your thing,not mine..so do what ya want. All Music is Good! Have a nice day & ...
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:21 AM no you can't shadowself, because the statistics for the U.S. is on the FBI site, and they only seem to be interested in their own country's legal system apparently. if you're questioning the legitness of the links, think about it. one is from www.fbi.gov, and the other is from the same source you posted earlier in the thread.
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:29 AM "and Rap is Good!!..alot better than the name Jewsus and a avaitar that most woman and some men would find offensive,not Funny!" firstly, i believe i said "to me its not good music", with emphesis on TO ME. you can think whatever you like about the genre, i don't like it. secondly, i would like to think that in this day in age people would be intelligent enough to realize this is only the internet, and there's no point in getting upset over anything written on it. also, what does the name jewsus have to do with anything? so i'm anti-christian, who cares? people's religious beliefs shouldn't mean anything. no one would get upset over someone having the username "Jesus_Is_WAY_Cool" now would they?
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:37 AM Well I live in the U.S.A and it's far worst than canada. K3 lives in Canada and he say's it's not as bad as the U.S.A!! To say Canada is worse off than the U.S.A is just Crazy! "
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:43 AM why doesn't anyone seem to be able to understand the term "per capita"? blah, seriously, this whole stats thing has been taken way out of context. it's per capita people, PER C A P I T A!!!!! RAAAAAAAWRRR!!!! now i'm frustrated...honestly, just look at the stats in the links, they explain themselves.
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 4:59 AM lock this
jewsus	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 5:07 AM are you drunk or something? either i'm clueless to your wacky icon lingo or that made no sense...
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 5:14 AM one of them or something like that. It makes sense trust me. we can do this till 5:30 or 6:00 then I'm done...OK
BIR	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 5:15 AM
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 12:37 PM Brandon is the name of a town in Manitoba, Canada.
hantu	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 1:04 PM i would not complain if "K3" felt the need to re-post his lyrics in a new thread.
K3VIN	Date: March 15, 2006 @ 2:19 PM jewsus some rap songs play live instruments... and have live performers, also nas illmatic he has his dad do a blues solo at the end of his track... theres some things just like that... and shadowself i was about to ask the same thing about the source... you don't have to like it but to say you hate it with a passion...
