Having both lived as a foreigner in the US (NC triangle area) and Canada (GTA) I have to take issue with this statement. Canada is much better. No only because of the public health insurance, a far superior public school system and lack of a foreign policy that'll mark my kids as pariahs in some parts of the world. What really stands out on a day to day basis is that so many people here are immigrants and the established communities proudly hung on to their cultural roots. As a result when we visited the Toronto zoo this afternoon my wife, who is American, commented that it was astounding that she heard more froeign languages spoken than English. Multilingualism is fully embraced. For instance in a play area a little boy who previously conversed in Russian with his dad joined my kids on a climbing net and effortlessly switched to English when speaking to us.
In North Carolina people always made me feel uncomfortable when I spoke German to my little boy. Here it is the opposite.
Mod parent up. Dr. Zowie is entirely right in pointing out that these are not true monopoles that actually violates the magnetic divergence-free condition.
These spin glass quasi monopoles are interesting stuff in their own right but the sensationalizing truly does a disservice to the uniformed reader.
As long as the human race is confined to this rock it will eventually go the way of the dodo. From a species preservation point of view it is immanently logical that the human race needs to aquire a foothold on another planet. That is why such well known raving lunatics like Stephen Hawking are very much in favor of a Mars colony.
... it has been banned from electronics in the European Union. Solar panels go onto roofs. One nasty hail storm and you potential have a cadmium contaminated yard. Thanks but no thanks.
While the level of genocide committed by my nation is unprecedented I think it is probably fair to say that the worst outrage and crime against humanity before WW2 was the organized slavery that the Anglo-Saxon world engaged in . Especially since it went on for centuries.
With regards to the United States it totally flummoxed me when I learned that no reparation payments have ever been made nor did Congress ever see fit to issue an apology on behalf of the American people.
This is not ancient history. After all Martin Luther King was shot over the struggle to gain full equality. If you can not see a direct line from slavery to the civil rights movement than I think you must be in deep denial.
Manufactures already have programs to take back their junk in order to comply with the WEEE EU directive. This has been law now for more than 5 years. Rather than discussing this idea as something theoretical lawmakers in the US would be well advised to study if an how this works in Europe.
I find non functional sliders plastered all over my pages. To quote the Indian CEO apparently the/. coders just can not "master the boring' details of tech process and methodology" details like getting you web code to actually *work*.
Sometimes the magic works sometimes it doesn't. The advise I actually relay from an American student. A chemical engineer who completed an internship at BASF in Germany. There really was nothing special about the dude but he didn't have any trouble getting German girls interested in him. When I asked him the secrete of his success he solely attributed it to being a foreigner.
Funny this selective discarding of statistics that one doesn't like. Pretty high correlation between preset opinion and statistics rejection - now there's a statistic I can believe in.
I have lived in Germany, the US and Canada (in that order) for many years.
I left the US for a variety of reasons. The fact that I can keep my health care here in Canada when I am between jobs or start my own business was one of the things that attracted me.
Can't say the medical service that my family and I received here wasn't to my satisfaction. Have one kid that was borne in NC and the other in Canada - the experience in NC was far worse.

One has to wonder if Canada's health care system is facing a particularly challenge due to the brain drain to the US that attracts medical professionals with higher wages (Canadian's are easily admitted for immigration due to NAFTA).
What a poor excuse for a human being. It is astounding to me what compels somebody to abuse anonymous commenting to spout such bail. Probably ruined every relationship in his live and can't tolerate the fact that others found lasting love.

I really think they are that shallow.

Yeah, nothing to see here move on.
As a German I know that money can never compensate for what my nation did to its Jewish citizens and other unwanted ethnic groups (such as Sinti and Roma). Nevertheless I take a small measure of satisfaction in the fact that compensations payments have been made and my nation actively tries to live up to this terrible responsibility.

Why is parent modded insightful? It's clearly a joke...
Because it was an insightful joke.
Everything that eats is bound to take a crap as well. Probably regular as clockwork too.

C'mon market fetishist mod me down!

You are immediately perceived as more interesting when outside your own country.
Yeah, but look at the data.
When someone points out a fact that shows your opinion to be wrong, you can't just point out another fact and then ignore what they've told you.
Of course I can this is /. after all.
All right so Canada rocks and has free health care to boot :)

The food quality nor life style is particular different in Canada.

There is unfortunately very little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to take on mass killer diseases as long as they are not also a prevalent problem in the well off markets. Same goes for vaccine research - it is better business to research for products that generate continues revenue streams.
