A few points...
no one sells penguins in st. john's, they're called puffins and they fly and look nothing alike. If you had bothered to look outside of the most touristy spots you may have seen other things more worthy of your greatness.
It's nice to know that we can come close to approaching the mediocrity of NYC, thanks for the compliment...

The only people that say "aye" anywhere in Canada I would suspect are either wannabe pirates, Irish ex-pats or working on a ship. Lots of people in the rest of Canada say 'eh' but not many do here.

Your condescending, full of worldly knowledge, attitude is refreshing and such a nice change from the general tone of these boards which tends to be conciliatory, friendly and open. Any time you feel like gracing us with your presence please come again, i'm sure we could all learn a lesson or two from your street wise, cosmopolitan attitudes...

Sounds like rollingstone423 really struck a nerve with you? Stop being so fucking proud. Chill out.

Is this another attempt to distinguish yourself differnet from the rest of Canada? Do you really need to try so hard? That new flag (well old one) that you are tryng to bring back is fucking ugly. It looks like Italy's flag and whats worst it has pink on it. Would this be the only flag in the world with Pink on it?

He did'nt like the restuarant and mistook a puffin for a penquin. Big fucking deal. You act like he spit in your mothers face or something.

I felt you needed a rebuttal as well. So easy to piss of you proud Newfoundlanders its sickening. What buddy said wasn't bad at all for someone who it was probably their first time there. Big fucking Deal he did'nt like Bianaca's. Maybe its just someones personal opinion or preference. I wasn't impressed either. Most of my family on the Rock are from around the Bay. So i consider you a townie, just like any townie in the world be it New York, Toronto, whatever. Im a townie as well. Stop trying to make claim that you are so different, because your not.

The next time someone is "tryng" to bring back a "differnet" flag perhaps they should run it by you first. Then they can make sure it is similar to the flag of a country that you like.

Go to hell and get the F out of Canada if you don't like it Now that you have found your province has some rescources you want to be a greedy pig and are like Canada who? If your a proud Newfie then im a proud Canadian. Whats not to be proud of in the rest of Canada since your from a place that you can be proud of? Its sad but true, but your becoming worst then the seperatist in Quebec you bastard. Im sure you will be cheering for Team Canada in the Olympics though. Oh poor Newfoundland, so hard done. BOO HOO. And when did some drunk idiot decided to make the Flag issue a topic for disscussion. I mean i was there last year and not a mention of it. This year its on everybodies minds. Real important stuff.

Was because they love our Country and our Politics. Apparently you don't. So get the fuck out and stop your bitching. Maybe they would think that your bashing of Canada is bullshit and would consider you the asshole; you asshole. You should have sent a memo to the band that you don't like Canadian politics. Maybe they would not have come there then. More so, why not try and do something about it instead of drowning in your own cynisim. And what you say may well be true so does'nt that make you an idiot for stayin and just complaining about it? What about survival of the fittest? Guess your not to fit, but you can spell. Good for you. Help you fill out those welfare and EI claims. Maybe my use of punctuation, capitalization and my amazing spelling skills is poor. Maybe thats because i don't have the time to edit my post on a forum with a fine comb. I guess that you do. Seems like all you have is time to whine and bitch about poor old Newfoundland. Fuck you were the last province to join Canada, so maybe its just taking some time for things to come your way. If you ask me i think things are looking up for the province more than ever now. Funny now that when things are looking up all this negativity rises towards Canada who stuck with you when things were shitty. Its the Feds fault the Cod is gone. What a crock of shit. It was greed and greed has no name. It was everyones fault at some level. And as for the poor fisherman... I have been around the Bay and alot of those fisherman are doing far better than I. Someone who has one of those coveted Federal Jobs in Ontario that you speak so highly of. So what the hell does that say? Your just a cry baby and what do you do with cry babies? Give them their bottles i.e. E.I and welfare since you cannot take care of yourself and are content to just bitch and cry. BTW im not born in Newfoundland, my mother is from there and i have strong ties to many family and friends there. Its Newfoundlanders like you that make me ill. Like a cancer to the country. Your not doing any good, no forward progress for you. Just bitch bitch bitch about the past and how you got screwed and go on about it forever. What about the poor native indians? Are you as hard done by as them? Don't you owe them as Canada apparently owes you?

I'll be back sooner than later, hopefully we can meet up in an alley. Last i checked Newfoundland was still a part of Canada. And you think its me calling you a a hater of Canada. Your statements would make it seem as though you do hate Canada. Im not saying my arguments are bullet proof although you would make it seem that yours are. Your just a little bit to proud of a Newfie and I'm alot proud of a Canadian. And Btw my sole aim is to disparage and denigrate you not Newfoundland, because their are many Newfoundlanders that don't see it your way and are more incline to do something positive than bitch and complain all the time and not let their pride get the better of them as i must admit my pride as a Canadian is getting the better of me because of an ingrate like you. You acted quite Juvenile when someone from NY did'nt like your restuarant and mistook a puffin for a penquin (I mean God forbid), like it was a direct insult at you and all Newfoundlanders when the guy still said he liked it there and enjoyed his trip. Canada don't need you and by saying that i don't mean Newfoundland i mean you in particular. Damm it man their are injustices all over the world (Like Pearl Jam playing short set on rock). You think you have problems? The things you complain of are trivial and your an insult to my country and undeserving of living here with your attitude. Easy with exporting the hardest workers as well. I know Newfoundlanders are hard workers, but you make it seem as though no other Canadians that work hard. Whats with this exporting as well? When did Newfoundland seperate from Canada and become its own country and start exporting workers? You yourself said their all on E.I and welfare. How much hard work is that? Stop tooting your own horn. Its not very becoming. Do you know how many Newfoundlanders come up here just to collect their stamps and then go home to collect E.I when they could stay on and keep working. Is that something to be proud of? O_G_D BE THY NAME, PISSING OFF OVERLY PROUD REDNECK NEWFIES BE THY GAME. THIS IS THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO O_G_D. AND DON'T CHANGE THE FLAG BECAUSE O_G_D your devine leader will not be pleased and the fish will never come back... JUST JOKING ABOUT THAT, BUT I MEAN EVERYTHING ELSE.

Shine on your brother, everybody get together try and love one another right now.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAA get a life. I think you need a woman or something. This is Canada i am not stuck in Ontario, i can go whereever i want in this country, thats the beauty of it that you just don't see, but would rather cry about. Well i guess i should take this opportunity to thank you and all the rest of the provinces but mostly Newfoundland for my cushy government job. It's much appreciated and since Canada isnt splitting up anytime soon i guess my job security is at an all time high. Could'nt be happier. How about you? I would never want to kick out Newfoundland out of Canada just you. Newfoundland has alot of good prospects on the horizon and i feel that the people add alot to Canada and Canada adds alot to Newfoundland and we are much more effective as a cohesive unit rather then this seperatist attitude i feel you take.

Oh boy your parents were born before confederation i think that warrants a medal. Congrats for parents being born before confederation, i have many uncles and aunts that were as well and there still proud to be Canadian, unlike you ingrates. What did the British do for ya? They were fucking you harder in the ass than you think Canada is. Maybe this is what you like. I think you will find that your parents passport says that they are from Canada not some unheard of country called Newfoundland. And i'd like to meet you in an alley how does that warrant a threat? Maybe id like to meet you in an alley to discuss politics or to sing OH CANADA to you. So what if they go to Alberta big fucking deal thats where the work is, there are alot of people in Ontario going there as well. Its always poor old Newfoundland. Ever think that it has to with the money? So stop spending money on education if you feel its not coming back to you. Does'nt that make you even more stupid that you continue to do so only to get cheated as you obviouisly feel. How much education does it take to be a roughneck? You are pathetic excuse for a Canadian and Newfoundland will not be independent in my our your lifetime so give up your whining and work with what you got. Stop talking about the days of confedration and Joey Smallwood, its all in the past. The time is now, but obviously your a cynic and that will get you no where. Everyone picks on me, why even bother? It's Joey's fault, its my parents fault, it's the government's fault. STAND UP AND BE A MAN. Here's my threat to you, cause this is what really hurts such a pround Newfie as yourself and remember pride is a sin my friend..... Canada will continue to treat Newfoundland like a 3rd wheel for the rest of your life and the life of your children and their children. Danny Williams will continue to try and talk a big game but will scare all the oil compainies off and you will be left with nothing. And im sure you think Newfoundland can handle it all on its own. So whats stopping you? Our are you just still to busy whining? Or maybe even scared that you won't be able to handle it and then have to come crying backto Canada or crying to whoever else for that matter. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Perfect title for the life and times of Newfoundland. Look i love Newfoundland and newfoundlanders but sometimes your hardheadidness and stubborness has been your downfall. How about learning from your mistakes? I really feel that their is a strong separitist attitutde growing in Newfoundland more so than ever and this is very discouraging for me someone who cares about Canada as a whole. It can all be traced to greed, i mean you got a bit of oil now and you think that automactically makes you a force to be reckoned with. It just isnt so. Build refineries do it all. Thats not where the money is. Danny Williams is taking this no no nonsense stand. He is taking a big gamble and the oil companies will eat him alive and you will be sitting on a rich rescource and have no one to sell it to.

Hahahaha...seriously though,themightydrek, you should take some history courses and find out what really happened "way back when..."

Also, this sadly seems to no longer be a thread about what REALLY matters - THEE PEARL JAM WAS IN ST. JOHN'S!!! OMFG!!! Why do people keep overlooking this???

Too all my Newfoundlanders out there, I know this thread is a bout PJ coming to the rock. I had not posted in 3 weeks but when i saw the mightydrek had i could not resist. I still find it kind of humorous that we have ended up here talking politics. I am a bit of a devil's advocate i must admit, because as much as i love Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders i do sometimes prey on those proud Newfoundlanders that are so easy to rile up due to their overbearing pride and beleive me i have some in my family and i enjoy getting into a good hot headed debate with them. 9 times out of 10 i am never upset after, but for the proud Newfoundlander that's always wearing their heart on their sleeve they get so offended 9 times out of 10. And i guess i am a bit of an asshole for knowing this and exploting it. But cmon don't take everything to heart. Pride is good but sometimes it can be a bit over the top and annoying. Most important of all is to get your facts straight........
