Most of his stats are way off.
Ask about any of his arguments, most if not all are his manipulations and good editing skills.

I'm sure they're just as biased as he is. The whole trick to politics and whatnot is to not take ANYONEs word as truth, because they're all biased and have their own motives.
But as far as Canada goes, I've wanted to move either there or to Europe for a while. I'm really not digging the direction the US is taking. Hopefully when I go through school, I'll get a chance to travel and check some other countries out.
O but there is truth.
Directions?
Like what?

DMCA - not sure about,yet
Patriot Act - has it really effected you for the worse?
software export restrictions - havent heard of till now
drug war - dont do um getum outta here
pop culture is everywhere except sub-saharan africa
worried about control it seems?
European countries not to mention Asian countries have more influence over individuals lives.
So where do you think is better?
WTF kind of attitude is that? THAT is why america is pissing me off. People that say crap like that.Originally posted by: Hoops

You can't freely export strong cryptography from the US to the rest of the world legally. This includes software which is very useful to normal people; I'm not just talking about super high tech CIA stuff.software export restrictions - havent heard of till now
News for you: Drugs are not going anywhere. They have always been around. They are not *the* problem, they are the effect of another problem - people are fvcked up and have problems that they want to escape. That will never change. Wasting our money sticking people in prison is stupid and ineffective.drug war - dont do um getum outta here
But not american pop culture.pop culture is everywhere except sub-saharan africa
No, just a crazy concept called freedom, which this country was founded upon, and is seemingly being thrown away for the sake of "security" or "safety."worried about control it seems?
The people that live in those places (not counting Asia, I'm not sure why you included that) seem happier with their situation than I am with the US. Whether or not my hunches are right or not is not known by you or me, that's why I want to find out. I didn't exactly say "I'm moving to Sweden next week after never being there and having no idea what it's like!"European countries not to mention Asian countries have more influence over individuals lives.
How am I supposed to answer that when I've never left the US?So where do you think is better?

Not to mention that there is no magical entity known as "drugs." Each drug is different and we should treat them that way. Pot should not be illegal. Heroin? Maybe, maybe not - BUT - we should recognize that it is a very different issue from marijuana.

You're misguided, because I never implied that there was such a thing as a perfect country, or even something close to it.
The things you state after your second sentence are just meaningless drivel; you should learn how to form an intelligent argument.

Its not hard at all to see a doctor in Canada. I had an ingrown toenail Thursday night, made an appointment about 3PM and got an appointment Friday at 10AM. I can't claim to get much better then that...
Its only bad if you only visit a certain family doctor, and he happens to be very popular. Then you could wait a week....
If you don't care about the doc, then its no problem...
I recently sustained 2nd degree burns through about 1/4 of my hand (damn friction burn...jk), hurt pretty bad but was liveable...went to the ER since it was a work injury...waited 3 hours to see a doctor, but it was a long weekend and they were saying it was far worse then normal. If I had just been in a car accident, I can be assured I'll arrive at a hospital and be cared for the minute I'm pushed in the door. Its all in order for priority.

Is Canada really that much of a pacifistic utopia? I think Mr. Moore is an extremist left-wing nutjob so I don't believe a word he says, but Canada really does seem as a whole much more hospitable than the US.

Lets make sure I understand you. You want to move to Canada because you do not like Mr. Moore's movies?

Indeed. Fvck Michael Moore, fvck anyone who admires/likes him.
Agreed.
But I was asking about Canada. I think I'll ask the g/f if she wants to move to Toronto with me.
That's funny because if you look at the direction the US is taking, it's where the world is right now.Originally posted by: BingBongWongFooey
