[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to admit, as a Canadian, American’s requirement to wear shoes inside is completely bizarre to me. It’s another difference that, like circumcision and guns, I feel the complete polarities in our culture. I live minutes from the border so it’s not like the disparity should be so great, but it is.

This is part of why I love DCUM. [/quote]

Do you know what requirement means?

I have also never been in a Canadian house in which I was asked to remove my shoes (barring the obvious removal of wet or muddy footwear, which shockingly Americans will do as well).  Canadian gymnasiums will often have a pile of shoes outside the door, but about half the people inside the gym don’t bother to remove their outdoor footwear, so what’s the point?

Just typical Canadian pretending to be better than Americans while not actually doing a simple task correctly or completely.[/quote]

Well I already qualified my wording, but I guess you weren’t through enough, like I wouldn’t expect you to be through enough to wipe the sidewalk dog poop off your shoes before walking on my carpets!

And people wearing their shoes in the gym are generally known to be jerks, but we accept them too. It’s rude, and we know who is who.

We’re not better. This is just simple. What do you think you’re catching WEARING SOCKS? This kind of explains why the mask this was so hard for the US and fairly simple for most of the rest of the world. [/quote]

Thorough, before you leave me as an idiot. [/quote]

You are one though [/quote]

Thank you for your thoughtful and well constructed rebuttal. You must have been a force to be reckoned with on debate team. [/quote]

No but your mom was. Why is a Canadian on this forum?[/quote]

OMG! It’s almost like DC isn’t an international, metropolitan, and politically significant area that attracts people there for all kinds of reasons!

Are you actually asking why someone from Canada may be on a board from such an area? Or have you only ever been to the vast country suburbs?

You’ve figured me out. I’m infiltrating your secret, password protected, closed door forum with absolutely no advertising interests so I can… shop the best deals at Burger King, seek bobcats, and make sure I get the best advice on how to secure an Egg Roll ticket, okay? [/quote]
