  1. Unlike america tearing up Iraq and not allowing them to be refugees in America. Many european countries are allowing them in there country .Remember we are at war with the taliban not the iraqi people . Bush stands up tall we are here to liberate the iraqi but dont come on US soil . Do it somewhere else.

    This should iritate you republicans

  2. What do we say to the millions of poor and middle class american that cant afford insurance . We dont want to screw up good coverage to the rich so we wont have universal health insurance . I am small business man with 2 kids. In 1998 i had full insurance for $250 . Now the i have a $3000 deductable for $425 and it goes up 20% each year. In another 5 yrs how much . I quarentee you if i get a condition that cost alot they (hmo) will fight me on paying the bill or come up will some excuse not to get full treatment

    I think the last bluecross estimate i got was $725 . They are considered the best which most of the rich have.

  5. It depends, I mean they pay taxes too, of course.

    Odd, isn't it?

    Why don't they just pay them less, instead of using tax money to pay them, and then taking tax money back?

  8. Seems like you've been relying on CNBC to tell you the truth about Canada.

    I live here, and I can tell you that most of what you hear on news about our health care is incorrect or exaggerated to the max. It does not take that long.

    Generally don't believe anything from an outsider.

  9. I live in Toronto, Canada's largest city - and i'm not sure what you are refering to as 3rd world. Please tell me these locations - i was born in Toronto and i've seen the city change, and the change is for the better. In Canada we are accepting to people form any country or background.

    Our violence in Canada is VERY low. We don't live in fear, because there is nothing to fear.

    Real incomes have now matched the US as of this month. This hasn't been the case since the late seventies. Our economy is strong. Our dollar is strong. We have consistently been rated overall as the best country to live in - in the world (HDI)...or tied with Norway.

    Productive citizens come from all walks of life, regardless if they are somalian or chineese.

    I just don't see the grim picture you paint.

  10. I agree with you. War would not be a good solution to advance the states. It's not really that we Canadians (and Europeans) hate Americans...that's just not true. We just think the 'american attitude' is not very intelligent and not the right thing to do.

    At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is to try to do the right thing to help people around you, and yourself.

    The problem with America is, they generally don't understand how to do this, except for the yourself part. It's not their fault though, it's how they've been programed. A nation of proletariats programmed to think and act a certain way to keep the machine running....without even knowing or caring about the ultimate outcome. It's quite tragic actually.

    I urge alot of you to watch a film called IMPERIAL GRAND STRATEGY or something like that - GRAND IMPERIAL STRATEGY.

    Like the nebraska hick on this thread who keeps saying 'we have the most powerful army, we will kill everyone, the dow will then go up'.

    It's that type of attitude - that makes the nation look like a nation of fools (even though not all americans are like this)...unintelligent sheep...just born into the system and die in the system, and nobody cares about them.

    It's not that we hate Americans, we just think that most of them aren't very smart, and act out of fear and rage.

    It's tough - your nation clearly lives in fear now....and it's not a good thing, I don't know how it can change. Fear is not a good thing for growth.

    As far as foreign investment and foreigners buying up US assets (which has been happening for years), this is a good thing for the states. It's one of the few things keeping the economy going.
