Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater proud of canadia product but not p

I have to agree with Jack, go browns, on this one. I don't hang out on AVS as much anymore, because I got sick of all the bull$%#$. Yes, some people start threads that seem rediculous to others, and may offend. I've learned to just ignore them and not post a reply, they will get the hint if nobody responds.

Axiom is awesome, and they didn't make the 15% rule. And by the way, us down here in the states like our neighbors upstairs, especially when I go Musky and Northern fishing......he he

In response to the bit about Americans bashing other Americans for "not liking America," I hate those people. We have a right to free speech, which means a right to complain. Besides, it was an off the cuff comment. Cut it out, NH.

OK so you are NOT an Axiom owner (I was unaware of this)

The fact that I'm not a current Axiom owner has squat to do with anything. I have owned more Axiom products then most people in here. It has no bearing on anything.

please take that to another forum

To be honest, it just may come to this. Either way I'm done. I told Jack I would back off and so I'm going to back off.

In my opinion it was in poor taste and I believe that I have the right to express my disagreement with it.

I agree with you but I seem to be the only one. What is with all the band wagon jumpers around here? Maybe all you guy's complaining about bad threads should just stay out of them. It's great that everyone comes in and say's it was joke. Great, that is the way you took it. It's not the way I took it. Remember that when your sitting here passing out your judgement.

I never said that I didn't think it was in poor taste, I merely said that it was intended as a joke. Also, as you can see, this is the first time recently that I jump in to a thread that gets out of hand. I have intentionally stayed away from the "where is xxxxx manufactured" and "country xxx is inferior to country yyy" to not offend others. I feel that I am far from a "band wagon jumper," but I could be mistaken or could be interpreting my actions incorrectly. I also see your side that not everyone would take it as a joke, but I hope you can see that most people here DO indeed take it as one.

It was a somewhat useless post for others, but I know that many people (me included) have needed to "vent" frustration somewhere from time to time.

Personally, I have only been to Canada once, and I thought that it was pretty nice. I did not hit all of the tourist areas, so I think that I saw "normal" Canada. This was many years ago, and the biggest thing that I remember was how CLEAN everything was. It just seemed so refreshing compared to the US. And this from a guy who lives in Iowa where it is fairly clean compared to major cites.

Oh, I was at a tech conference a couple of weeks ago, and I had dinner with a few folks form the "Great White North" and they were yapping about how expensive it is in Canada for taxes. How much you get "dinged" for the "free" health insurance, etc. But you know what, they said that even still, they love Canada so much that they would never leave...

Seems to me that Canada is a good place to live.... So what if you have to pay a little more. "You get what you pay for" so to speak...

i think i will just stay right down here in texas..

you guys are cracking me up...

we should have some cheese, with all this 'whine'..

I love Texas bigjohn but the whine crack wasn't nessecasry. I have only had the pleasure once but I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Everyone was incredibly friendly and everyone seemed to get a real kick on me being a Canuck. Everyone commented on my accent. Made me laugh but in the end I left with very fond memories of Texas.

Only reason I bring it up is the fact that a few folks I work with painted a completely different picture. I got there thinking everyone carried a gun and those that didn't wanted one. I found that was simply untrue.

By the way, I don't have an accent! ..........at least I don't think I do!

I DO!!

i like to think we are just some good 'ole boys down here.. it takes a lot to get my feathers all ruffled up. and we sure enjoy when ya'll 'yankees' come to visit.. it reminds us how lucky we are to be here. and i mean that in a good, joking way..

its funny you mention your accent, cause everytime i go elsewhere, thats the first thing people mention about me.. if you think my accent is bad, go to alabama, or kentucky, or the worst of all, new jersey.

i tried to watch that show about the gotti kids.. i couldnt understand a word they were saying...?
