    Wow didn't expect so much offense to be taken and for me to be called an asshole (which is far from the truth).
    Thanks I love all you guys to. mwa.
    I stated that I don't mean to cause offense or paint you all with the same brush.
    If you got a problem PM me instead of resorting to name calling.

    I know exactly what the OP is on about, no matter where people come from there is always a risk of being shat on. I've got spare tix aswell and am trying to sell them through people I know rather than dealing with strangers. No reason to turn this Thread into another shit-fight.
    :D Have a nice day.

    I would've said the same if the person was from Australia.

    I think I'll sing the Canadian national anthem to make up for my so judged offensive thread.

    Don't label Canadians based on one person.

    And yes, the deuchebag from the assault/wine bottle incident was from Quebec. :)

    you did cause offense.

    if i labelled all americans based on the actions of few... WOW!!!

    and i mean WOW!!!

    We have 30 million people. We have enough people to sell out shows across the country.

    We even have our own currency if you can believe it.

    Don't label based on the actions of one.

    P.S. he was from Quebec. (J/K... couldn't resist)[/quote]

    now you're just being offensive.

    no kidding. what a joke. the OP is merely pointing out the region the guy is from, his GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND NOTHING MORE. He's not saying all canadians (me being one) are suspect. get a grip people.

    obviously, there is a misunerstanding here. I will edit out my post.. if i figure out how...

    but it should be said. I'm not offending americans. I was using it as an example. If anything, my trips to Seattle and Philly have proven that Americans are quite splendid.

    Everyone stereotypes Canadians as friendly and nice. The people in Seattle and especially Philly were unbelievably friendly and nice. I cannot stress the Philly part enough. Everyone in Philly was incredible, and all the Americans in the parking lot at Philly from other states and cities were awesome as well offering beer, food, and assistance to this one man who was having one HELLUVATIME putting his portable bbq together.

    So my apologies. :)

    cheers.

    Do not trust Canadians. We are sneaky and will do anything for alcohol. It's not surprising a bottle of wine was stolen

    Can't believe some of you are still pissed off at me.
    Sorry for the offense caused, what more can I say?

    Come on now. You have to have known that it was a pretty silly thing for you to post to begin with. I think that you got an acceptable amount of backlash for posting something so dumb.

    There is a chance that the guy wanting your ticket is the wine-bottle thief (assuming the information about him was correct and he was in fact Canadian). There is no chance that posting your concerns about selling your extra ticket to a Canadian will answer that question for you.

    Good thing that the wine thief and your ticket purchaser weren't black. Imagine the shit you would have stirred up if you had asked if there was a chance that this black guy who wants my extra is a thief.

    I'm not offended, but I'd like to point out the absurdity of your statement, and let you know kindly that you may be somewhat misguided in your fear of your buyer being this man from Quebec. According to a 2005 census, Quebec had a population of roughly 7.5 million people. A 2008 estimate suggests that Canada's population as a whole is about 33.2 million. What this means is that you are assuming the one person you meet is within a certain 7.5 million people out of 33.2 million, and then that your guy is one specific person. I actually think it's admirable that you want to stay away from this guy, but perhaps you simply were not aware of the odds being so heavily against selling your ticket to this one specific person.
