Of course, if the article was about America... hey, no problem! Piss and moan all you want. Over and over and over again. Because of course America is different. We never get tired of pissing and moaning about America. Besides, pissing and moaning about America can be a group activity. Everyone can play.

We get, that you don't like the American government.
Good for you.
You have the option of NOT living there.

I personally could care less about how the Americans govern themselves.
It makes NO difference in how I live my life.

If you live in the US then you should care more about your own government that you do about Canadas

But I don't want to change it. It can't be changed because too many Canadians are complacent and perfectly content with their lack of freedom and liberty.

um...lets see, they havent got Muslim raticals trying to kill them
they are allowing civil rights to people that we don't
they don't have the DEA itching to get in their personal business

You right they are doing a much worse job in the security and civil right area than we are, my appologies

And that makes the Canadians and Euros in this forum who bitch about America look mature and intelligent?

Are you an American? Do you bitch about America? Why don't you leave it and live somewhere else?

If I had stayed in Canada I would be financially independent by now. I'd be retired with a nice house and a damn good chunk of change invested. Yes, even with the confiscatory taxes I could have amassed a million bucks or so in the last seventeen and a half years, and that's enough to retire on.

Instead I came to a third-world country and ran a break-even windsurfing business, then worked six years as a bartender/ bar manager for anywhere between six hundred and twelve hundred bucks a month. I have nowhere near a million bucks and I'm not in a position to retire.

I know it's hard for many to understand, but there are people in this world who act out of principle.

Quote:

The character of this attitude, so far as it's possible to guess at, appears to be based on the view that Canada is developing in a way that its whole is becoming increasingly less than the sum of its parts.
