I think he is
What a lame thread, Canadians are the America bashers because it makes them feel somehow relevant (which geopolitically they are NOT). GSP is a great fighter, one of the best (if not the best) of his weight class in the entire world.Kirkardo said:I think he is
You are one of the few humble canadians on this board and I respect you for that. I never talked to canadians before I joined this forum and I must say their stereotype of being arrogant assholes with a "holier than thou" attitude is completely true for the most part, just like every other cultural stereotype. And just like every stereotype, there are exceptions, and you are an exception. Most of the arrogant canadians no longer post here though, so that's a good thing.

Stereotypes are there because 90% of the time they are true. That goes for Canadian stereotypes, American stereotypes etc. They are all true if you look at a big enough cross section of the population. Internet forums attract people from all over that shoot off their mouth. that is just the unfortunate reality.WouldLuv2FightU said:I never talked to canadians before I joined this forum and I must say their stereotype of being arrogant assholes with a "holier than thou" attitude is completely true for the most part, just like every other cultural stereotype.

I'd like you to find me one single post of an American poster claiming a candian fighter will get beat simply because he is Canadian. You canadians base your opinions on fighter's talent solely on their country of origin. Patrick Cote is a god cuz he's canadian...no he sucks. Jason MacDonald will beat Rich cuz he's canadian. Jonathan Goulet was gonna beat Koscheck cuz he's CANADIAN! David Loiseua should be brought back to the UFC even though he sucks now cuz he's canadian! Everything is "cuz he is canadian" to you people.The Wizard said:Pothead you need to get off the weed,if you think there's no Canadian bashing going on,it's a 2 way street.....if you can't take it don't give it.
Man, don't judge us based on what Kirkardo wrote. He does not speak for all of us.WouldLuv2FightU said:Wow what a great thread. I love how you stupid ass canadians always accuse Americans of hating other countries and shit, you guys are the most arrogant mother****ers on the planet, and all you do is bash Americans. However, I never see Americans bashing canadians. At least not around here. Americans on this board have to put up with your snobby ****ing asses everyday and you don't hear us *****ing about it so why don't you just **** off?
Seriously, what are you looking to accomplish with this POS thread anyway?
I.P.Freely said:Good points on this thread.
The vast majority of the (presumably) American posters here are truly international in their love of MMA. They seem to like the best MMA fighters irrespective of origin.
While there are good few Canadians who are also international, you do see plenty of statements along the lines of "I hope Joslin wins because he is Canadian" or whatever.
Still, I can't blame them. I'm British and I want Ross Pointon to move to heavyweight, sign for PRIDE and beat Big Nog, Barnett and then Fedor. (Then to bring peace to the Middle East, cure cancer and eradicate world poverty.)
You need to stop digging yourself deeper into the hole your in.WouldLuv2FightU said:I'd like you to find me one single post of an American poster claiming a candian fighter will get beat simply because he is Canadian.

Trust me man, I'm not judging all of you. I just hate the cocky arrogant canadians. I know which ones on this board are cool and which think they are better than everyone else. And to the other guy, I don't see how I am digging a hole....maybe you weren't a part of this site when Cote was announced to be on TUF, or Goulet was gonna fight Koscheck, or whatever, but that's all everyone heard for a while..."CUZ HE IS CANADIAN!" On the contrary, I've never read one single post from an American saying "American fighters are the new breed, they are the best in the world, candadian fighter suck, Canada sucks, you deserve everything you got on 9/11...blah blah blah insert anti american statement here."Rated said:Man, don't judge us based on what Kirkardo wrote.

Slamnbam88 said:i hate canada...but i love me some gsp
kidding.
but seriously...i didnt even get mad at the ****tards post and the ****tard posts that followed it...is their a small bit of bias in which an american will cheer for an american over a canadian if their both unknown..yea probly...but i wanted gsp to beat hughes cuz i thought he was a better fighter and i like how he carries himself. the only canadian fighter im not that fond of is jason macdonald (dont ask me why i just dont like the guy)
would u like to show me a few threads of people saying that certain fighters will win because they are canadian?? or are you just making that up to make us look like assholes cause in the few month i have been here i have not once said or heard anyone say that. I have heard people wishing them good luck because they are canadian but not once have i heard any stupid shit like what you are saying. I remeber also when GSP beat BJ Penn they booed GSP because he was canadian and he had to try to please them by saying that he works with many people who are american and that we are all one. Now i can understand cheering for your country but at least have some respect not to boo another person because of thier origin. So does that constitue as a bit of hating or do i also have to mention matt hughes' ignorance of saying who wants to lose to a "french man" he's canadian asshole if your gonna be a ***** at least get the ****ing country right and if you want to talk about stereotypes then lets talk about the american stereotype of all being ignorant assholes who are hated by most countrys and the people themselves dont even trust thier own givernment and think that they made an attack on themselves like you always like to talk about the 911 conspiracy great ****ing country isnt it? normally i avoid talking shit but your comments in my eyes are unacceptableWouldLuv2FightU said:I'd like you to find me one single post of an American poster claiming a candian fighter will get beat simply because he is Canadian.
