Horrible... people aren't

Horrible... people aren't like this in Newfoundland.
That isn't true... none of it is.
2 hours of work? Yeah right, many people work hard, long days..

It is humour

This is not meant to be the truth. It is meant to be humour by stereotype, which is funny to most people.

i take offense to this

I am from Newfoundland and we have many things to be proud of I am sure Mr Kalhid that you may be born or imigrated to this wonderful province but you have no idea what it is really like. The people of Newfoundland work hard they are educated and we have many talented artists and so forth coming from this great province. I can understand Newfoundland humour and love it as well but your form of Newfoundland humour is degrading " stupidest province in Confederation" come on True Newfoundland humour isn't about degrading people it is about our ways of dealing with life and the things that get thrown our way. No matter what happens we still are able to get thru it all Maybe you should reconsider this and redo your top ten reasons to live in such a breathtaking province it is not everywhere that u can sit on your back step and have a coffee and see the beauty of nature as the whales come up. I look out my back door and I see "crack addicted people". violence, people barley making enough money to survive. I see prostitues trying to make a few bucks for their next hit or to feed their kids. Wow what a difference from the world that I came from to the world that I now see. Once I am done school I plan on coming back to what u describe as the stupidest province. We may be stupid but we are loving, kind, and we are full of passion about our fellow human beings. Think twice before you discharge what u call humour

Newfie Jokes

I'm from Newfoundland and I find your racist jokes about my home very disturbing. How you you and your family feel about a website promoting stereotypes about Egyptians? How would you feel if that site made racist jokes calling Egyptians Stupid, dirty camel jockey's with who haven't advanced past the stone age?

Personally I find what I just wrote offensive but I hope it gives you some idea of how your promotion of hate filled slurs (disguised as jokes) makes Newfoundlanders feel.

clearly the newfies can't

clearly the newfies can't take a joke

Not even funny

Newfies can take a joke and we don't mind making fun of ourselves but, these things are not funny. They are just stupid and some don't even make sense.

Why?

Why would you go out of your way to degrade a group of people like this?
I am not from Newfoundland but I have visited there many times and it is unlike any place in this country. As a New Brunswicker, I am jealous of the people that get to live in Newfoundland.

You obviously have not visited there and your ignorance and hate is everything that is wrong with this world.

I like the motto for your

I like the motto for your website... "The journey for wisdom starts with knowledge".

Obviously you do not follow this motto because you are displaying sheer ignorance.
