I'm aware you live in Missouri.

20 degrees isn't warm. Warm compared to -11?


Warm as in you'll sweat, even in a fleece if you're doing anything remotely active. And a t-shirt or long sleeve shirt feels refreshing and nice when it's 20, sunny, and no wind.

Your ego centric nature is blocking you from understanding that your personal inability to relate to this doesn't mean that virtually 100% of people who do live in cold climates can relate to it.

Lol ok. so it's usually 20 and sunny?

Well I lived roughly one hour from Alberta and it was certainly -20 or worse at least 10-15 times. There were times when the sun barely came out during the week. Northern Ontario could be different, it is pretty far away and all.

That's because you're exerting yourself, not because it's warm.

What does this have to do with my ego? We just disagree over what feels cold. Simmer down

When I shovel snow out of my driveway and it's 20 degrees, I wear a t-shirt. I'm not saying if you're doing something active it doesn't make a difference. I'm saying that it doesn't change the fact that 20 degrees is still, objectively, cold.

Quit with your condescension routine. It's played out, bruh

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Obviously the weather is significantly different.

What?

Weird.

All I told you was -20 is not at all 'normal'. That's a severe cold front that might not even happen annually, at least not for more than a few days.

I lived in BC too.

And NO is one of the coldest spots in Canada. Not out on the plains, but right where the great lakes come together. Cold spot.

Being this 'literal' is usually a sign of a micro penis.

Calgary and Nashville are both cowboy boot towns. Idk, dude. That's about as far as I took the comparison.

If America is so restricting to you, then why not move to Canada and stay there this time? I really get tired of listening to whiners who do nothing to help this country, but are usually the first ones to take a big shite on it when the conversation comes up.

You made a dumb fricking comparison, your silly insult shows that you are aware but too proud to admit it.

I hear Amarillo is a cowboy boot town, is it like nashville too?

This is about the most illogical and redneck thing people can say.

Don't love it, leave it, burp.

For one, you probably have zero understanding of my world view. I've said Canada is basically the same as US. So without going in depth on how the US/UK/Saudi/Israeli axis controls western society, I can say I've identified Canada as the same as the US, which negates your comment.

I'd bet everything I've ever earned my entire life that you're clueless about what this country actually does and has done.

America isn't the America from 'Saving Private Ryan'.

shite stains like you could never understand that.

I don't understand the fascination with trying to make Calgary like an American city. Whether it's Nashville, Denver or Houston, people always want to say it's just like "x" in America! The fact that you're doing it means you probably aren't as wordly as you want to be. It's an awesome city and should be appreciated as it's own.

Cool man, I'm glad they play music for 10 days. Pretty much like nashville. I see now how people get sucked into the sleeping tiger semantics vortex.

Hit the inhaler and calm down.

The Calgary is like Nashville comment wasn't some grand stance. Does it get compared to Nashville a lot yeah, is it like Nashville in many ways yeah.

Is it like Denver too, yeah, absolutely.

I was asking why don't you move, because it seems that would be more convenient for you. It sounds like you've got it all figured out though, and the rest of us that appreciate running water, and not shitting in ditches should just keep quiet because we're too ignorant to own an opinion. Buuuuurp.

Seems like you've got old bones to pick and you've decided to pick a weird fight of whether or not Calgary is like Nashville to 'stick it to me'.

No shite.

Try reading something more than a tweet and maybe you'd have the patience to comprehend what I wrote.

I don't have a Twitter yet. Can we change that to a Facebook post?
