You need to figure out which came first the chicken or the egg. For someone that can not make a stand as to what the best country is because you did not live in all of them. You sure are quick to point out how bad and messed up the U.S. is for never living here?
Cause i can read a newspaper and follow many tv programs based soley on the state of the USA...I notice the USA dollar is no longer the world currency..I invest in america companies as part of my portfolio...It would not be wise of me to invest in an economy I know nothing about..I think you Aplus have blinders on if you feel there is no problem with todays economy inside your country,and yes that effects alot of things inside and outside your country
Why is it you can make judgements as to badness with out living there but can not take a stand on the good things?
There are many incredibly and wonder things in the USA,in fact there is some very special things in your country that I admire
I don't know if the U.S. is the "Best" country either, maybe it would be cooler to live in Tahiti on the beach maybe I would think that is the best. But it does not take a rocket scientist to know who has the strongest Army, who has the most sought after doctors and medical care, or how spoiled financially those living in the U.S. are.
Who says you have the strongest,most sought after or spoiled...? How do you know all this as fact?
I have received a reputation as being anti Canadian but the truth is anything I have said in regards Canada or my taking up for my home country WAS DONE IN DEFENSE OF IT, FROM PEOPLE DOWNGRADING IT THAT DO NOT LIVE HERE! It is funny how people can come on here on a regular basis and tell us how bad we have it and how bad we are, but when we touch on their Country pride GOD FORBID that!
I do not dislike you country nor downgrade it...the fact that your country has done things outside of itself have brought it to the for front.The whole world is watching you now...I also have yet to read any positive words about my country come from you...When any canadian here makes a point that you Aplus do not like,you attack them for being canadian...I guess your not smart enough to handle the tough questions so you attack where you can....the good news is you do it with liberals too..So its not just the canadians that take the heat for what you lack....
Kind of hypocritical and cry babyish if you ask me!
Yes,I would say both these names you call us would also very much apply to you and to how you act on here.
The first time I ever typed the word Canada was telling a Canadian to worry less about our business and more about their own! Personally I think that is pretty good advice for all of us to follow in many areas of our lives. To many people worry about other peoples business and not there own.
If one persons business affects another then minding ones own business only can become fatal..,I am also not surprised that the first time you typed the word Canada was to do with you telling them what to do..
You are obsessed with American politics, but rarely engage in Canadian discussions. I can not imagine a person being so eaten up with the goings on of another country. A wise man told me once don't sweat the things that you have no control over!
Yes I have concerns about America's future,I do have family and people i care about living there...I want whats best for them...I am eaten up by all the death the world has gone through over the last 6 or so years...With nothing but more fear of war then when it started....I would like those I care about not have to worry about going to the doctors because it cost 70 bucks just to go through the office door..I do not want my countries families to lose more loved ones over a war thats gone on way to long.....I do not want drugs and crime to become an acceptable livestlye in any country esp.the one next door....I do not want to have to jump through imagrational hoops just to visit those i care about....
The fact is you have a unusual concern for our political doings and you have some pretty strong opinions on them for someone that does not live here
As do you about Canada .....As i recall you had lots to say about our stance on the missile defense system....How we would all die if we didnt sign on...

but as some will soon point out that what Canada does is none of my business..
I consider it foolish to not try to understand my nieghboring country...If Some of you came to see my country with open eyes you would come to find that it is a Awesome country to live in..Can I say its the best?no cause for one I have only lived here,but I can tell you I cant imagine a better place to live then where I do....I do not need to puff my chest out like some here and call it the best.How can i be that arrogant with out at least living in other places first?...
Steve I think your post made sense and i agree on our borders being more open yet more controled..Its guys like soapweed and Aplus that say they live in the best country in the world,but never have lived anywhere else...Also how does Aplus know where the best medicine is?For all I know Germany or japan could have better medical care for certain madical issuses...I have no problem with a person being proud of your country,I just wonder how one can say anything is the best if they only lived in one country...
I am a proud canadian and i accept that my country is far from perfect...I like the fact that we run our country different then our nieghbors..I like that as a whole canadians look after eachother...I stand with pride and honour towards the countless stories of bravery that our armed forces have been apart of...I am a supporter of medicare for all my countrymen....I believe my countries nieghbors are good people,I feel welcome each time i visit......
My country is Canada and I am proud to call myself a Canadian...
Steve,what canada does should be your business .We are your nieghbors...

Okay, Canadians, you might live in the second best country in the world, but I live in the best one. I know this for a fact because it is farther away from the Arctic Circle than is yours. On a cold windy night like tonight, this is very important. :wink:
On a more serious note, I also have the best wife in the world. I know this even though I haven't tried out fifteen others first to know this for certain. Sometimes, you don't have to try out other wives or other countries to know that you have the best. It is just an inborn intuition.

Personally I like my neighbors to stay out of my business, I certainly do not like them coming over all the time giving me their opinions on how I should do things. Or what all I am doing wrong.
I do not think that your nieghbors comming around to visit you happens all that often anyways....The nerve someone telling you whats wrong
I believe in returning the same respect to them! I have found that makes for better neighbors!
You seem to always find time to tell me what to do...heck in this thread you tried telling me the question i should of asked...I suspect any ear your voices touches gets told what they should do
There is a big difference in paying attention to what your neighbor does than coming on a message board and telling them what they do wrong and how they should run their own household.
Well you seem to tell everyone else what should be done...and I never told anyone what to do...I just asked who would make the best leader to run the USA in the state it is in.....
But maybe your idea of a good neighbor and mine are a little different
yes they are Aplus...you would rather see the nieghborhood turn ugly then to step in and add something to help keep it the fine place it is,or was..

aplusmnt said:Nonothing, I been thinking and maybe I am wrong maybe this is your outlet to talk about American politics and you have another outlet you use to discuss Canadian politics. Surely a person that has such strong political views about American politics has the same interest in their own countries political process?
Surely you have another political message board you frequent with the same vigor as the 1,300 post you have here.
Any chance you would share the URL to that message board so we could engage you in some Canadian political discussions?
Surely you have more interest in your own country and its problems or broken political system? Surely you are interested in your immigration problem and the affect it is having especially in regards to your social health system? Surely you are more concerned about who is going to fix your political problems than who is going to fix ours?
Surely that would be reflected in your thousands of message board post on a Canadian political board?
Please share it with me so I can come talk Canadian politics, because I have a genuine interest in them, especially since most of our states bordering Canada are blue Liberal states and I don't think that is a coincidence! It just might be that Canada's overwhelming liberal view points are dripping south into our country.
I would like more fair-free trade with Canada,.. and less with free trade with other non north American countries..

Well Aplus I only have so many hours in the day and after a long list of other outlets in the end I choose Ranchers net to come to and bide my time....
Surely you must understand that having made 1300 post my heart was here with the folks of ranchers net
Surely you must understand its the people of ranchers net who I learn alot from...
It my enlighten you to search out your own Canadian site as I did an American one and introduce those folks to your rants and ask them why they turned your northern states into liberal ones
I offer you good luck in finding a site that has the quality of banter this one has,I could not find one that compares to this one,but again I wish you well in your endeavor to knowing your nieghbors good points as well as their flaws..
I find the folks here at ranchers to be well informed and staunch in their political choices....I am happy you showed some interest in my Country,as I have yours.Its nice to see you come around....
One more thing,if you do find a comparable site in Canada,let me know cause it would be nice to visit another place like ranchers net from time to time...
Good luck in your search and I am sorry I have no url's for you to go visit.. You may want to ask around here though.there are some very nice Canadian people that post here and they may have some places you can look up...
