And you get paid 20k a year while in your studies? Sounds like earning a living to me.

I just find it funny to hear you rail against the US, while you take advantages of the opportunities they offer you.

What a moronic view. Either the US is all good or it's all bad.

That's called a false dichotomy. It assumes that you can't build the good without the bad; that they're intricately linked.

Great you'll make me nostalgic with all those photos.

Fact is the US isn't perfect, but it's good enough for me.

What I am railing against is the US tax system and general bias toward unfettered capitalism. But hell, I listen to American music so I'm being a "hipocrat" lollololol

What a silly sentiment. Why try hard to make things better? They're "good enough".

Ben, you really need to start thinking before you make unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise you're going to keep getting beat up like you have in this thread.

What low standards you have.

Indeed, it's such a terrible thing. Letting folks like you make lots and lots of filthy lucre.

You're quite right. I should make my life better by moving there.

?

20 k a year is filthy rich?

I made more as a supervisor at a food warehouse.

And even when I make whatever I'll be making as a professor I'm going to want the government to take what it needs to ensure the best overall quality of life for all its citizens.

Good bye and good riddance, Ben. The US suits you better than Canada does. In all seriousness, I think you'll be happier in the States.

[Ben Kenobi]

Good riddance to bad rubbish, eh?

Right I suppose you don't mind handing over what you earn for the greater good?

[KrazyHorse]

Duh. What the **** have I been saying? I will vote for whatever higher taxes are necessary in order to fund adequate social services for all citizens.

[Flubber]

Ben

we got it. You like the US more than Canada. Fine. But for equally logical reasons , I find that while I find a lot to like about the US, I like Canada better.

AS someone said before, different strokes an' all

[KrazyHorse]

Now Ben, could you please stop your wannabe Yank jerkfest so we can get back to the CanPol?

There would be something wrong to consenting to this, because . . . .

Ben, how many places in Canada and the US have you been to? I thought it was just Prince George and Vancouver (and likely points between) in Canada and a single bus trip to Texas and back with a stop over in Oregon. Am I correct? You're also aware that the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver is literally the worst urban neighbourhood in Canada by almost any statistical measurement, right?

I take it you live in Canada. I realize we have our rough spots too. I was just responding to Ben's the US is better than Canada rhetoric.
