RE:RE:RE:If it Looks Like A Duck......I am a Southerner, so I call the rest of the Americans yanks (you can research 19th century American history if you like). The term can also be used by non-Americans when refering to Americans. I live with them, so I can attest to how backwards many of them are.
LIsten to a Canuck and many of them will say the same thing about their country. The West in general is financially unsavvy and does not understand the difference between real money and credit. Ok, maybe I just knocked both countries - but it is true.
