Are canadian girls weird?

[jurupa]

Ha ha ok. I don't know where these things are happening, but noone I know has ever had to wait for anything. Oh, and I don't have to worry about the bill if I get injured. Not going to lose everything I own if I break my leg. Lol.

Well they must be happing some where because other wise there won't be an news article on it.

What are you trying to sell me on here anyways? The 'greatness' of the good ole USA? I told you, I've been there dozens of times.

No. I said I think free medical care from the government is stupid, as I do not like big government, not want to lean on the government for such things. But I guess even within milies apart views on such things can differ so greatly.

You ever been to Canada? Most Americans haven't.....but they all seem to have an 'opinion' based on what the media tells them. You can keep it. At least I can travel the world with my flag emblazoned all over me without people wanting to punch me in the face.

Your funny because you assume when you should not. Yes most Americans (I find it funny you use such a word when Canadains are Americans as well) have never been to Canada. I have been to Canada 4 times. Once to change planes in Qubeec, 2 times by car seeing the sights when I was in New England as kid (in the fall when the trees are chaning their leafs), and the 4th time was when I visted Glacical Park.

And no one in New Zeland I meet (I went there in 2006 by the way), wanted to punch me or my dad. The same thing happen when we went to Austrilia in 2004. And my dad said people where nice as heck to him when he went to Great Britain in 2005. People pretty much around the world can seprate government from the people it governs. Meaning that just because I live in an unpopular contry due to my stupid ass government, does not mean I am a bad person nor do I support my current government and all of the actions it takes or don't take.

The funny thing is that even tho how bad of an image the US has world wide, people still want to come over here and make a new life for them self and/or their family. So I guess you need to vist other countries and read up on media from other coutries

Another thing. I bearly read main stream media from the US. If you notice the site where I got the news article from is not a main stream media. So my opinion is not based upon on the main stream media in the US, but from out side media.

Not gonna change my mind, no matter what articles you google up for me. Canada kicks ass!

So does the US. I am not trying to change your mind, but more point out that you say your standards of living is higher than ours when I don't think so. Ya you have free health care whoopy do. I don't want such a thing here. I am all for cheap health inusrance, even offered by the government, but not free health care. Because someone has to pay for it, and with all of the illegal aliens about and how many companies (majority of US hospitals are run by companies) in the US are doing unethical things, as well as our own government it will only lead to scandels and other problems

But I am sure there are other things that shows your standard of living is higher than ours right? Because it be pretty sad if it was just free health care and clean cities that make your living standards higher than ours. Yes our cities may not be clean like yours, but overall we have more buying power than you guys which means we can afford more things, which you can say making out living standard of lving higher. Yes we got people who can not afford health insurance and other social problems, but I am sure Canada has its own social problems.

Lol, and you're assuming I don't? Of course I do. Not to mention most of my friends are also world travellers, or are from other countries themselves. I have a much broader view of the world than you know. Not to mention that we get ridiculous amounts of immigrants too - so its not saying much. Isn't anything better than living in the midst of war or poverty?

Of course we have our own social problems.....what country in the world doesn't lol? Standard of living has a lot more to it than just health care and cleanliness, obviously. What about crime rates? What about population density? What about confidence in homeland security? Pollution? Education levels? I could go on forever, but whatever. I'm not getting into cross border wars of words with you. You're entitled to your opinion, and I to mine.

I just find it hilarious that Americans are allowed or expected to be chest thumping patriots with fourth of July fireworks shooting out of their ass, but as soon as anyone stands up and proclaims admiration for their own homeland, they get brow beaten. Typical!

BTW I'm done with this. I'm just soooo non-confrontational....y'know, like most Canadians.

Canada is awesome, I don't think America has alot more to brag about than Canada and no I haven't been to either.
