re: Anti-Canadian Content (Laughing With Us, Not At Us)

As a Canadian, I am outraged with the content of this thread. We do not have veal-flavoured maple syrup ice cream, kraft dinner ice cream chocolate poutine ice cream or moos and beaver tail ice cream. what we do have, is respect for other countries. This forum is supposed to be a place where people with mental problem can help each other, not make fun of them. I do not think this is funny.

The Just Chat and Just For Fun forums at Psychlinks are where members exchange light humor and pleasantries. There are numerous serious sections of the site where all of us try to provide serious information and support. This section is in the spirit of "laughter is the best medicine".

If you don't find the humor in this thread to your liking, I would suggest that you simply focus on other threads and ignore this one.

As a Canadian, I am not at all outraged by the content of the thread. I think it's important to be able to relax and laugh at ourselves and our quirks in a gentle respectful manner from time to time.

This reminds me of the outrage when Dead Cat jokes were popular. Some people were just horrified at the thought of joking about the topic. In fact, most people who told me the jokes, and friends who found them the funniest, were the ones who I knew had dearly loved cats at home.

But the direction this thread has taken reminds me of when I was *really* stressed with work. There was no way I could see the humour in anything. It was one of the subtle impacts of stress and depression that was tricky to deal with. Many people can understand why I was upset about work, or depressed about job prospects, but it was really hard for them to realize that it was impacting everything I did and thought.

On a lighter note, I got flagged 'cause I used the Canadian spelling of humour - amusing given the topic !

Sauerkraut explosion prompts quarantine
CBC
Saturday, September 11, 2010

Twenty-four students and four staff members at a central B.C. high school were briefly quarantined after a can of sauerkraut exploded Friday in a food science class.

The fire department, a hazardous materials unit and RCMP were called to Kelly Road Secondary School in Prince George at about 2 p.m. PT.

RCMP Const. Lesley Smith said school officials were concerned about a possible botulism outbreak after the contents of a years-old can of pickled cabbage splattered on students.

Officials later determined there was no cause for alarm.

The students briefly returned to their classes, then were dismissed early.

Yes but aqt approximately 1 gig an hour most Canadians are going to find they'll have huge bills for going over bandwidth if they don't monitor their usage carefully.

Frankly, I'm not sure it's going to fly here. It's going to be cheaper to simply access on demand pay-per-view movies from your cable provider.

Speaking of bacon:

Of course, KFC should use Canadian bacon in Canada, a.k.a. national bacon.
