No Deal. But Seriously. We had a band in Canada in the 90's that was pretty good called the 'Tragically Hip'. Whether you like them or not is irrelevant but the point being is that they were a (frank) of a lot better then Nickleback and HUGELY popular in Canada....but couldn't sell out a phone booth in the States. Yet Nickleback made millions of American Dollars. Makes zero sense to me. Then again it took 30 years for Rush to be on American television so maybe it's a matter of good taste/bad taste.

To be fair, most Americans hate Nickleback and Bieber.

But there's an idiot born every minute.

I prefer the Mayan civilization they were able to tell the future and what was coming, with the exception of the Spanish of course.

Well yes but they really don't like it when you include people who are from an area that isn't the Mediterranean to the Middle East, where everything that makes up Christianity took place. People existing in other parts of the world is just blasphemous yeti.

It might help you guys procreate a bit more.

2nd biggest country in the world and only 28 million people?

Damn you Canadian dudes are impotent.

Fat Americans have bigger and more productive Richards than you

- LAownsALL

We are at about 35mill and 2nd biggest landmass doesn't equate to completely viable living area. Besides, over population is the last thing we wanna do. Social problems tend to be the biggest in heavily, densely populated countries. You guys can keep yer honey boo boo's and 5 kid families.

Yeah, Rush, our greatest import ever, bar none , probably don't appeal to that demographic.



And if any of my fellow Canadians want to dispute my claim that Rush is the greatest band to come out of Canada, they can swiftly go (frank) themselves .

Frm the time the books event took place to the time it was written was 1000+ years just saying there might have been a few clerical errors.

I was in Europe and some Canadian told us to stop talking about how awesome Canada was because he "didn't want any of these people to go there".

Well, I'm more partial to Neil Young & Crazyhorse, but Rush is... Rush. Can't go wrong.

But being as I'm not a Canadian, I am glad i don't have to (frank) myself.

It's pretty much common knowledge among historicists that it's been "translated"(also known as re-written and edited heavily on multiple occasions, plus of course you have the hidden and "lost" pages).

It's a little different for every Christian sect as well. Kinda lends itself to the theory that there are no Christains, just a bunch of different pissed off Catholics.

I don't get people who base their entire lives on religion, like I mean the true nut jobs. It's hilarious to me.

Yeah, it's hard for me to relate as well. My favorite Christians are the hateful, unforgiving ones, that say "I'm Christian. I have high morals".
