Be more insulting. Not to mention your ignorance of history.

You want to start about ignorance of history?! All everyone does is repeat history, ignore history we preach about how we must heed the things the past have taught us yet wars still happen.Everyone fights for the same causes, fights over the same things over and over and over and over and yet me deciding to not give France a shout out is insulting? I think its odd how people take others words to heart when peoples words and opinions are anything but permanement (George Brown? I believe at one point Macdonald was regarded as his enemy. But there was a coalition, there was confederacy.) If you have never had a bitter moment standing in the freeeezing wind waiting for a bus you are too good for this world. I'm sorry if my words rattled the heart that loves Winnipeg with a fierce firey passion, I meant it all in good humour and I'm actually insulted that you were insulted with my harmless banter. It's one of those things where you just can't win.

PS If you have never met a Winnipeger who complains constantly about the weather, check your map.

1) I'm _not_ talking about others so why you bring them up is beyond me.

2) Your comments about what I'm apparently referring to (France) is based on nothing but /your/ assumption(s).

3) *You* are the one freaking out /not/ me.

4) A bitter moment from time to time hardly makes a city "crap".

5) You didn't "rattle [ my ] heart". How you got this from what I wrote (or lack thereof; it was terse), I have no idea. Probably more assumptions.

6) Things in good humour end in a If there is no then you can't expect people to take anything you post as humour i.e. people can't read the thoughts and intentions you had while writing your posts when they read your posts.

7) Insulted and rattling a heart are two very different things.

8) I lived in Winnipeg for almost 30 years and I _never_ met anyone that /constantly/ complained about the weather.

9) Most importantly, before you reply (if you reply), calm down and think before you click submit. I won't reply to another vehement rant, only civil discourse.

A friend of mine just went to Winnipeg on business and was pleasantly surprised -- cosmopolitan, cultured (theatres, orchestra, ballet), lots of nice architecture -- basically the same population size (780,000) as Ottawa and containing all the amenities you could hope for.

Some not-so-nice areas, too, of course, which are hard to avoid in any city. And then there's the weather; but coming from Ottawa we can hardly complain :)

What is a teenager without generic cynical ranting about the place they live? I'm sure at one point everyone felt the place they lived was crappy compared to the big wide world they have yet to see.
As for the rattling I was being overly discriptive and pleased with the flow of the words I'm sorry for all of the things that have been said (though I enjoyed every moment **Teenager = love of arguments**, plus the ENTP personality type doesn't help...) and Winnipeg didn't deserve the crap-eh perhaps just a regular crappy...:P I love playing up stereotypes and am a huge lover of satire, I realize that sense of 'humour' is hard to portray over the computer and will remember the coveted :P
Sorry for the rant. Make peace not war.

I can reiterate that there are a number of active Browncoats in the Toronto area. We meet about monthly for shindigs, fantastically organized by the keeper of Canadian Browncoats and Lioness.

They are as nice, friendly, intelligent and interesting a group as you would expect Browncoats to be.

Check out the yahoo group link that Lioness provided and come on out!

And our Can't Stop the Serenity screening is shaping up to be a big bash with the dedicated Browncoat, the casual fan, and the newbie all attending.

P.S. I was in Winnipeg once twenty years ago and I didn't like it as much as Saskatoon but better than Regina.

Saskatoon? Lol. I think the only reason I didn't like it when I stayed there (ten years ago) was because we had a smoking room for my family of non-smokers in this really ...gross I suppose hotel. The carpet was dirty to a point of deeply blackening my socks haha, if I had had a better experience I'm sure I would have liked it more.
