With blatant abuse i refer to scenes where it was absolutely not relevant to the story and is merely there to hype nationalism.
In the hope to maybe add deeper meaning.

Please submit relevant movie evidence.

Zed, if you wanna troll yanks, the best place to do it is in the Lounge.

However, be aware that this is subject to Clocker and maybe Skizo.

Skizo will bite, but he's a mod. Clocker will bite, but he's a genius.

I think you can handle the rest of them.

Its because its filmed in Canada and the flag gives the impression its the USA . You know like Vancouver stands in for Seattle .

Don't flatter yourself, whoever you are.

I wasn't talking to you.

I was talking to Zed aka 100%.

And who are you?
