That is absolute rubbish. The Israelis are streightforward and honest, and rude as well. The English are also honest - they're just naturally colder and more reserved. The Americans are FAKERS. They'll smile and laugh and hug and kiss and call you honey and doll and you have a nice day now and I LOVE your shoes, and then when your back is turned they'll roll their eyes.

I just bought my new nephew an alphabet book - called "Z is for Zamboni". 2 points to any non-Canadian who knows what a Zamboni is, and a bonus point if you know the generic term.
