    Given the homosexual nature of this site, I don't feel this is off topic:

    I think my penis is beautiful! I enjoy seeing it, touching it (liberally, some might say), and even just thinking about it. Do other men share the same sentiment about their own goods?

    I would appreciate a prompt reply. That is all.

    What does Canada have to offer?

    --More tech freedom (people are still sharing files on Kazaa without fear, last I heard).

    --you can smoke weed.

    --universal healthcare!!!!

    --taxes are about the same for the average person.

    What's not to like about Canada?

    My mother was Canadian, so I am IN!

      I don't think you know what you're talking about. Drug use is not legal here. Marijuana is still illegal, although there have been thoughts of decriminalizing it, which is completely different from making it legal.

      Decriminalizing it basically means the users (of marijuana) who are caught with small amounts (I can remember the exact amount) don't face charges and/or possibly jail time. It's the drug dealers who get hit.

      But this is far from making it legal.

    Canada will prosecute you for whatever it wants to call 'hate speech', i.e. expressing unpopular views about minority groups, Jews, holocaust, etc.

    As much as I hate uneducated people spouting these views, this type of squelch on free speech is chilling. (Don't interpret this as to saying that I think the USA is good in the civil liberties department either)
