Keep dreaming the dream. Keep hanging onto your hope as every freedom and right you have vanishes before your eyes.

Greatest? You are not even in the top 10 anymore!LOL

Oh yeah, that's right. Now that North Korea has made a house-sized, cheap imitation A-Bomb, and the Iraq War has gone awry, we've been pushed out of any important slot. Somehow, though, that still puts us above Canada on any list except possibly one from an ESPN Hockey website.

I didn't read much on your link before I noticed what an awesome, unbiased British source you cited. :roll:

PSSST!! In case you didn't know, worldwide media is less politically motivated and more realistic than the spoon fed media you get in the U.S.

I truly wonder what motivates people to start threads like these. It is a pissing contest that nobody wins. It is as if they need to prove their worth to the world.

The ones that diss on Canada, I believe want to live here.

For sure. I feel like I don't pay NEARLY enough taxes here... You have no idea how much I'd rather go live with your Northern neighbors and gleefully hand over even more of my paycheck that I already do to the socialistic government. Man, that would be great.

Well as long as you fork over what you save in taxes on health insurance, it's all good. Even if we still pay more, paying a little extra per capita would be natural in a Country of 30 million vs 300 Million.

We may be socialist to an extent and we are highly taxed, but I would not live in another place on this Earth. We have it good here. Really good.

Ah yes.... Despite your ridiculously high taxes, your socialist government, your lack of some basic rights (can you guys even own a BB gun to shoot paper targets? :roll: ) and your notoriously crappy weather, you have it "real good." Considering that I don't really have to deal with any of those things where I currently live, what am I missing in my day-to-day life, exactly? I would honestly like to know. :confused:

I could be wrong, but I could swear that "real" gun ownership is pretty damn common in Canada.

Yes, yes. Biggest guns makes the rules, blah blah.

Just another example of the US doing what it wants, regardless what other countries or laws have to say about it. Old news.
