I sincerely wish all the pansy-*** mother****ers who are willing to disown their country when travelling abroad because they're worried someone will question its policies, would just do away with the charade and move to Canada.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

how about you stop acting like the fashion police and laugh at the comedy of it.... not everyone wants to be interrogated by a stranger about americas politics, especially when all you wanna do on holiday is chill out.

i always tell everyone i'm scottish when i'm abroad, it saves a good 5 minutes of talking to them explaining my location.

I'd understand it if people were homosexual, wanted to abort a child, or wanted to do anything against Christian believes.

Or how about the 49% that don't want to be associated with someone they didn't vote for? Just because you 'live' in a country doesn't mean you should just all of a sudden accept and agree with everything that government does.

Doesn't mean that they have to move away, though. 58% of Canadians didn't not vote for our Prime Minister, Paul Martin. You didn't see anyone whining here.

Paul martin isn't starting any wars or making everyone else hate us though. Not to mention that 58% who didn't vote for him are fairly and proportionally represented here.

It's not the dissent that is upsetting. It's the whiny ***es that keep making empty threats of forsaking their country, yet never do it and instead choose to stay here and punish the rest of us with their incessent *****ing.

Except it's the "incessent asterxing" that actually improves the country. If all those "whiny asterixes" somehow magically dissapeared, you'd end up with a country full of blindy patriotic robots that'd never question any action of their government at all.
Really, if 'loving your country' was somehow an imperative then America would still be a British colony. It's because of the "incessent asterixing" of your "whiny asterixing" founding fathers that America gained its indepedence. It's the same here - sure, they're not striving for indepedence, but they are striving for something better.

Why should you expect them to feel any sort of loyalty to the Republican party? They weren't Republicans before the election, and they aren't Republicans after.

By threatening to move to Canada? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people who dislike Bush, but running away to Canada? That's just saying they're too cowardly to actually try to change anything.

Whining never did anything. And the people that whine are the same people who are too lazy to move to Canada and follow through with their threat, so they sit at home complaining about how the world is going to hell in a hand basket. It's the people that disagree but actually try to get things changed that get the job done. These are the pro-active people that set up rallies, protests, petitions, and lobby government officials. NOT the people that sit on their *** while making idle threats. You may ask "How do you know the two aren't the same people?" Because someone who was trying to change the government wouldn't throw their hard work away and move to another country just because of an election. They would remained focus on the next elections and every where in between.

And I never said anything about loyalty to the Republicans or even implied it. Where did you get that?

Canadians are a lot less likely to be robbed than Americans, it would be a good idea to pose as a Canadian if at all possible, so yeah, way to get uptight and whiny about a joke.

Yeah, here the voters of the Bloc, Conservatives and NDP are probably better off than those who voted Liberal (keep in mind that the Liberals are in power). Those three parties together hold more power than the leading party.

To all you whiners: quit whining about a joke that happens to contain a base of reason in it.

Winner get's the presidency, yes, but you might want to note we have two houses in the legisilature where the people are represented as well. The split in the House and the Senate is fairly even with a Republican lean.

Now, if you're complaining about the two aprty system, I'm not going to disagree with you. I think it sucks, but that's they way it works right now.

I meant in the election, for example, if bush wins a state by 0.5%, he gets all ec votes for that state, rather than getting 50.5% of it. So it's as if all the democrat votes for that state were thrown out.

Not on the issue of seperation, but otherwise they add weight to other issues, because both the bloc and the ndp are more liberal than the liberals and the conservatives.

... Accept it? Yes - it was the will of the people to elect George W Bush to a second term. Agree with it? No - dissent, disagree, protest and lobby all you want. Lick your wounds, accept that your loss was your own fault, and try to do better the next time around. Thankfully, that's what most sensible Americans do.

But really, who in this thread other than you suggested that? Right.

Yeah, Warlord. People who kidnap and kill foreigners really give a damn where their victims are from. Look at Margaret Hassan.

By being immature. That doesn't suddenly negate all my observations about immaturity, however, if that's what you're suggesting. Also, it doesn't make me any more a hypocrite than anyone else who's ever been immature, which is.. everyone...

I think it's funny and all, but I think there's more behind it. It's probably got a lot to do with the fact that American's aren't liked in pretty much most other countries, while Canadians are.
