Oh, piss off. It is not constant. I'm not sorry if you don't like the mirror I occasionally put up to the whole concept of "American Exceptionalism".
I remember when I first heard of the whole idea that people would actually pump gas and drive off without paying... I was a teenager and I was aghast. Theft is theft. 3 decades later, and up here it has just now gotten bad enough to actually be a problem. People have started locking their doors too and not just in the city, which in case you didn't know, is also a recent development up here, even tho it was how I grew up in the country. Locked doors were just not neighborly.

No, I won't piss off. You rarely if ever have anything good to say about the US, and instead seem to delight in putting it down and being holier than thou. It's predictable with you, and tiring. Someone mentions thieves and you jump on it as an opportunity to bad mouth and blame the US for something happening in Canada. Do you have any kind of actual data to back up your "
Guess all those 'merican punkass kids are bringing their "it's only bad if you get caught" fuckhead culture up here with them" statement, or did you just pull it out of your ass to let you say something negative about the country? The US isn't perfect, but there seem to be a whole hell of a lot more people from all over the world who want to come here than who want to leave, so we must be doing something right.
