Montreal is in Canada not the USA -- Canada (We are not like mad yanks), 00:16:12 03/24/16 Thu

You can tell the difference at majors. Canadians have class, lovely people. (NT) -- The yanks on the other hand? Typical Yanks, that is all I shall say., 23:11:14 03/25/16 Fri

And yet "the Yanks" never talk about you all on their Voy boards in this disparaging manner. (NT) -- Yank, 04:21:24 03/30/16 Wed
- You do have a choice in the type of people you hang out with. (NT) -- USA is a big country with all kinds of people. You sound a bit classless yourself., 18:16:17 03/30/16 Wed
wow, I really enjoyed Glasgow, now not so sure, didn't realize there was so much american bitterness (NT) -- USA Mom, 04:21:37 03/30/16 Wed
- Same. We enjoyed a lovely long visit, in Ireland and Scotland. It puts a real damper on it, seeing how hated we are, by people who haven't even met us. (NT) -- I'm a quiet American, 13:34:59 03/30/16 Wed
I don't know, there is good and bad in every country. My dd and I sufferred abuse by a whole group from a Canadian school when we were in Boston. Took 2 seats out of their saved 2 rows of chairs empty for hours and they were at us to get out of them the whole time we sat there. Everyone just needs to get along, it's only dancing, we are meant to enjoy it ! (NT) -- -, 05:35:00 03/30/16 Wed
Haha. What an ignorant person on so many counts. Lumping 50 states--yes dear, look it up, 50 across a vast area is worse than saying at Scots are drunks. (NT) -- So ignorant it's hilarious, 22:53:53 03/30/16 Wed

Wow, I honestly cannot believe the vitriol. The people my dd and I met in Glasgow, no matter where they were from, but especially the Scots, were nothing but friendly and kind. is this really how you all think of us? TBH we would never paint you all with such a broad brush but take people one at a time, good or bad. Sorry to hear you apparently don't so the same. o (NT) -- Disheartened US mom, 14:50:14 03/30/16 Wed

I, too, am shocked by the nasty comments about "Yanks", which (by the way) is an offensive and incorrectly used term. I am always surprised when people clump all Americans together as if we're all the same (and even more surprised when people clump Canadians and Americans together). America is one of the most diverse countries there are- a melting pot of races, religions, cultures, and ideologies. We vary from region to region, state to state, and even town to town. You're insistence in making broad statements about us reflects your lack of knowledge and education. (NT) -- American Southerner, 17:21:30 03/30/16 Wed
- Same old Yanks, always moaning. Bore off to your own boards and moan. (NT) -- We put up with yous at Worlds, we are not putting up with you on Voy. Goodbye Forever., 13:39:59 04/02/16 Sat
  - What I find interesting on this board is that you all seem to love attacking your own as much or more than you love attacking Americans. (NT) -- Interesting, 16:14:26 04/06/16 Wed
- Yeah and bomb whichever country suits yous best at any given moment for oil. (NT) -- And vote Trump. Thick planks are the Yanks. And Racists also, put down your guns Momma., 14:05:06 04/02/16 Sat
  - very sad that a parents whose child shares the same passion as my own child would post this. -- us mom, 01:20:56 04/03/16 Sun
  - You are really quite ignorant, aren't you. In a country of 350 million plus, you are going to get all kinds, from racists to communists and so on. Much like your own country, I would imagine. Feel free not to come over to the US if we offend you so much. I am glad we met nothing but friendly and kind people the times we have been over to Scotland. (NT) -- Sad, 16:12:55 04/06/16 Wed
