Where would you rather live - in Canada or United States? (buy, to live in)

London's equal to Broadway had such a show about Americans and it was the longest running, most sold-out show ever to play there. A show such as this about any people in the world would never be popular here b/c it would bore Americans to death. They also had a TV show that was very popular that did the same thing. It was called "The Lardburgers". My guess is it's probably the same way in Canada to a certain degree. People love slamming the USA in this day and time, however, most of it is nothing but propaganda/lies and clips of the way the USA was many years ago. And for the record, it was this way in Europe/Britain long before George Bush. It has actually been this way in Europe/Britain since the very beginning of America. They have just been sitting over there dying for us to make a mistake.

So we've had a horrible leader for a few years. What country hasn't? Do we really need to remind Europe/Britain of the things they did when they had the power to do so not so many years ago? They tried their best to slam their culture down everybody in the world's throats. It hasn't been that many years ago that they were in many Middle Eastern countries. They hate us because they love our movies, music, etc, and hate themselves for loving these things made in the USA. Seriously, they say our culture is taking them over, yet they make fun of us and say we have no culture. But did we really twist their arms to buy our movies, music, etc? Of course not. It really cracks me up how "some" Europeans/Brits will say things like we are still prejudice towards blacks in the USA, yet the most popular runner for the leader of our entire country is black, which really shocked them b/c of the lies they have forced themselves to believe about America. Ask them what leaders they have had that were black and they will answer ZERO, because as much as they hate us, they hate their blacks, Arabs, etc, almost just as much. Anyway, all countries in the world have had bad leaders at one time or another and all countries in the world who have ever had any sort of power at all have done at least as bad as we have done, but usually much worse. It's hard being human beings who make many mistakes every single day and have almost all of the power in the world as the USA has had over the years and not make any mistakes. We are ALWAYS dam*ed if we do and dam*ed if we don't. Yes, I realize it's changing and I don't think that's a bad thing. The rest of the world is catching up to us.

I have only met Canadians on the Internet, but I've been on message boards such as this one since the 90's, so I have met a whole lot of them. Don't get me wrong, I have met and made friends with some nice Canadians, but most of them are anti-American and just mimic whatever the Europeans/Brits are saying. There are also a whole lot of Muslim extremists in Canada. Some of the most extremists I have met have been from Canada, Britain, Sweden, France and the most socialist/liberal countries. It's because the more you let them by with, the more they will run over you. Swedes are moving out of Sweden "in droves" b/c of their Muslim extremists' violence, according to a Swedish newspaper and more people are moving out of Europe/Britain than at any other time in their history b/c of the same reason. Many Europeans/Brits wonder why US Muslims do not seem to be as near as extreme as their Muslim populations. Number one, we have not pushed our Muslim populations into the slummest parts of our country and, therefore, they are much more spread out here and are not discriminated against for jobs here in the US as they are in much of Europe. Number 2, they know we will not put up with it for one minute here and b/c we are not near as politically correct as they are, which they seem to take great advantage of.

I have studied these facts for many hours, so I know what I'm talking about. An example: As many French women were being forced to wear veils and no makeup to even go out of their homes in certain areas of France or they would be raped/gang raped by Muslims, I knew it before most of the French knew it b/c they're too politically correct to print problems such as this in their newspapers. A couple of girls finally escaped from these areas and moved out to finally write books about it. The majority of French people were shocked at this news and it had been going on for many years. If you ignore problems such as this, it's just going to get worse. I could go on and on and on about this subject for hours. We rarely hear of the horrifying problems some of the Europeans are having with their Muslim extremists.

Anyway, give me the USA anyday. Being a liberal extremists is at least just as bad as being a conservative extremist and most of the US population are somewhere in the middle. Extremism is disastrous in any guise, and I think too many Canadians are too much on the liberal side just as too many Europeans are too far to the left and it will destroy their countries. Also, I love the weather where I live in the USA. In fact, as I was driving home today, I thought, my God, how many more of these absolutely perfect days can we have like today? The sky was nothing but crisp blue, not too hot, not too cold. We have all four seasons but rarely any days in the winter or summer when it's extremely hot or extremely cold. There I go with the too extremes again.

We have our problems here but it's nothing we can't fix. All countries have just as many problems and have had just as many bad leaders. Don't worry about the US being the power of the world because others will be taking our place soon and they will be hated even worse than we have been. Most Americans do not like America being the superpower/police of the world. It's funny, though, how Europeans scream for our help when they have a problem - Bosnia/Kosovo. I hope Europe and the rest of the world enjoy China being a superpower of the world. I guess Europe will have to scream for China's help when the US will only have enough power to help ourselves. And, yes, it goes both ways. We won't be able to count on Europe's help, either. Personally, I think the Europeans have screwed all of us in this regard. When most of the rest of the world wants to take away our freedoms, they will wish they hadn't divided us, but they certainly made the world much happier by dividing us.

Wow. One of the best posts ever.

The USA. I've seen pictures of Canada and it's pretty, but I hate the cold (I lived in northern OH for 2 years & couldn't wait to get out) and don't like the health care system. And in spite of America's flaws, it's still a pretty great country.

[bluebeard]

Yeah, I voted Canada (just prior to wishing I'd voted for the US for reasons stated at the end), but I never had arguments about evolution at the dinner table.
Not to say that doesn't exist in the US, but only in circle areas/groups of people.
Also, you have to admit that Canada has more colder cities than the US does. Vancouver has the most moderate weather, and many from the US would find it still to be a bit dreary and cold much of the year.
Personally though, I hate the heat more, so if I had chosen a place to be BORN I'd have chosen Canada. But likely, I will move back to where my family lives, in the US, and thats the most important thing.

Yeah, that was full of brilliance.
They're taking away our freedoms! I just saw a pair of Chinese commie the other day and he came up to me and said "Are you free?" Luckily, I was smart enough I said "Ye... Uhhh... NO!"
So he walked on, looking for some other poor person to oppress. I think they live of sucking freedom from our souls. Personally I think we should invade north korea and china and the soviet union and cuba so we can liberate them and give them freedom. otherwise they'll take ours away.

Its true, i sawed it on the Teevee!

[quote=Galloway;4471189]OMG!!!!!!!!!! amazing post!!!!!! you are absolutley right!!!

Canada's politicians are way too liberal and pretty soon we will be overrun by muslim extremists and suffer more terrorist attacks than anywhere else in the world.

WTF?! First of all, if border security is the reason for muslim terrorists taking over, then I suppose those Mulsims are coming from... the US? Hmmm...
Second of all: WTF?!?!

[bluebeard]

OK, to clarify, I actually agree the the over-US bashing of the US by Euros and such.
But where do the Mulsims and Chinese come in here? That's also brainless bashing as well. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

[Nutella]

WOW As a European (who grew up in Africa) now living in Canada I agree 100%- One of the very best post I have ever seen on the net. Amazingly accurate.

I've been to Canada a few time.

I think Saskatchewan is my favorite province as far as scenery.

I'd love to live in Ontario, or British Columbia.

[Galloway]

Does it really matter, we are all screwed anyways. Pretty soon we will al be killed by terrorists because our spineless governments can't even control who comes into our countries. I would rather live Mexico than either country, at least they are strict about immigration.

[Zephora]

Canada for me! I love it here! Lived in the States for 15 years, and only 3 years so far in Canada. It's just so different here, yet still quite similar to the US. The difference is mostly in the atmosphere here, and the climate is harsher in the winter, but people are generally nicer here.

(I keep hearing about the North American Union... Don't know what the advantages or disadvantages would be, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me. )
