<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HumptyDumpty, post: 834622, member: 21325&quot;]Awww, how nice, the OP started an apology thread that has nothing to do with coins, but more U.S.-Canadian relations.&nbsp; I find it especially warming that Snaz has received so much support while I have been demonized for my comments, I guess the amount of posts a member does count in their favour (or against)!</p><p><br /></p><p>Snaz, I have read and reread your so called apology opening post, there was nothing about coins or currency what so ever in your post with the exception of a photo of a Canadian cent!&nbsp; In your apology, you list a whole bunch of Canadian comments that irritate you and use those as a reason to leave comments to my “I hate Canadian Cents” thread.&nbsp; Funny enough though, the “Queens Mug” comment came in another thread after your little rant in the listed link!&nbsp; Stop feeling sorry for yourself.&nbsp; It is warming how much sympathy you received though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, about the “Queens Mug” comment I made, as a DUEL citizen and having been born and raised in London, England for HALF of my life, holding a British passport gives me the very right to not like seeing the Queens face on money being used in a country who’s forefathers had opted to escape that same crown!</p><p><br /></p><p>And with the following criticisms of members on CT, I will take my bow and leave this website as although there is a lot of knowledge on this website, there are a LOT of members who can’t distinguish the differences between mocking a person country as opposed to mocking the fact that it is illegal to pass foreign currency in a U.S gas station!</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB, you said; “No need to..you should be proud of your Country! Canada has some exceptional older Bank Notes too!!”</p><p><br /></p><p>If you actually read the thread I started, you would have seen that I wasn’t mocking Canadian, I don’t like the fact returned money I can no longer spend!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mpcusa, you said; “Nothing wrong with Canada!!”</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you saying that Canadian money is legal tender for a transaction in a U.S. gas station?&nbsp; Because if that isn’t what you’re implying, I’d like to know what your sympathies were based on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mat, you said; “It really is annoying when others make fun of others countries.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Why don’t&nbsp; you read the actual thread listed at the top of Snaz’s I’m sorry thread and tell me how I was making fun of Canada!</p><p><br /></p><p>Paddy54, you said; “As Americans we think we have rights to speak and say anything we wish to.... and maybe so but it&#039;s still not cool to yell FIRE in a Movie! Let me apoligize for abunch of Americans who are just uneducated and unrefined!”</p><p><br /></p><p>Well this is the stupidest comment I’ve read on an website!&nbsp; Uneducated, unrefined, haha, if you’re apologizing for me, don’t you dare!&nbsp; To say that I’m uneducated, which reads that you’re stating to have a higher education that me, check your spelling first!</p><p><br /></p><p>Also Paddy54, you’re saying that there are “nuts living just south”, what because I want to be able to spend my change.&nbsp; Stop kissing arse!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for you fishaddict; “ Shawn, it is terrible that there are such ignorant people in the world…”</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, and this has what to do with myself and others not being to spend their foreign change that is received in our country? You also said that I should try to put a Canadian cent collection together, why, because you said so?</p><p><br /></p><p>Rosethe; “I haven&#039;t read the offending thread.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you should, there’s nothing about Canada, only their money being handed out as LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBT, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE!</p><p><br /></p><p>Texmech; “Suffice to say, you took the high ground. Well done.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmm, I’m lost on what high ground Snaz took on insulting me because I can’t spend HIS money in MY country!</p><p><br /></p><p>Financeman; “I dont think you owe anyone any apolagies. I read the entire thread and I too have a passion for my country. I think that is part of the problem with some people taking such a great country (both America and Canada) for grantes.</p><p><br /></p><p>You say you read the entire thread and then post this comment.&nbsp; What on earth does what I had to say have anything to do with nationalism!&nbsp; Reread my comments and you’ll clearly see that it is ABOUT spending foreign money in America that is NOT authorized for public or private debt!</p><p><br /></p><p>Another ridiculous comment from Paddy54; “but being I&#039;m old enough to be your grand daddy I tell you now this ...you should see other countries you should learn first hand how others live.”</p><p><br /></p><p>What does that comment have to do with passing foreign currency in AMERICA!&nbsp; Oh, and with you being older, would that give you the right to tell a younger president how to run the country or a younger CEO how to run their company.&nbsp; Yeah, a lot of sense you make!</p><p><br /></p><p>Zekeguzz; “Well said Shawn. there are many many of us down here that admire and collect your country&#039;s coins and currency.”</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t collect Canadian money, but that’s beside the point.&nbsp; I can’t spend Canadian change that I receive in America!</p><p><br /></p><p>Notsure; “Canada is a great place to visit”</p><p><br /></p><p>And this has what to do with coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>DCTJR80, your whole post was pointless!&nbsp; Yeah, its my fault that as I live in America, I expected American money in return when out at the stores.&nbsp; How funny???</p><p><br /></p><p>Billy Kingsley; “Shawn, as an American who has never left the county, but collects Canadian coins, I was also offended with that post. I don&#039;t think you have anything to apologize for! “</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear ya Billy, its very offensive when a person complains because they receive change that THEY CANNOT SPEND IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!&nbsp; What a pathetic you have written!</p><p><br /></p><p>Fishaddict; “I just wanted to quote this comment in hopes that it gets shut down. It appalls me to think that I have spent 17 years in the U.S. military to support people that are so frivolous as to where a &quot;thread&quot; belongs. Let the man speak his thoughts.”</p><p><br /></p><p>It appalls me to think that I spent I spend 8 years in the U.S. military to support people who bash me for complaining that I CANNOT SPEND CANDIAN CURRENCY I RECEIVE IN MY CHANGE!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Then there’s SNAZ’s comment, the OP; “T$, the goal was to keep this thread NOT about politics. And to be a make up thread.”</p><p><br /></p><p>And we come full circle.&nbsp; Snaz, this very post was all about nationalism and politics!&nbsp; But hey, great job on getting people to look past the fact that my other thread was about illegally passing Canadian money in the U.S monetary system for PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DEBT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
