    How many people from the land of the BRAVE is willing to challenge this authority? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    The de-facto world government is the US right now. I am sure you would enjoy being "liberated" with carper bombing...

    Some very rich people get treated in the US, but I bet there are much more US citizens impersonnating canadians to get free health care than the opposite.

    The sad part is we have nothing but politics and lobbies working against this utopia RIGHT NOW.

    To be in complete mental health means having every mental illness at the exact same level. Uneven repartition is the illness.

    I don't know about the BBC, but here in Canada, if it was not for TV investigation shows, we would have trouble deterring corruption in politics.

    Look for "under cover boss" tv show, they had a show done on amazon. I do not want that job, so much I would prefer to live off SS than work there.

    You can spit out crap all you want, single payer healthcare in Canada, actually allows you to consult the doctor you want, not the ones listed as covered by your "land of the free" insurer, get as many opinions as you like, and all of it for much less per person than you guy are paying in private healthcare down there. You all have to get insurance anyway, why not get together and get a real bargain for once? I feel much more free in my "socialist" system than under your "free enterprise all profits to the rich" system. Bonus point, poor people here don't die of cancer out of being poor, they can get productive once again after the fact. Healthy population is not a burden, it is an asset, and it is the right thing to do. But catering to the rich elite is the american dream I guess...

    There was a computer in the basement, after playing around I found basic.exe and started to have fun by reading other programs. You cannot coerce passion, passionate people push their limits.

    We also need more truck drivers, we should teach commercial diving in school as well! Seriously, school is about learning to live in society and with a bit of luck, seed a taste for knowledge that will drive the pupil to get knowledge bit itself, not create cheap labor to save training costs on corporations who prefers to NOT participate as much as possible in financing the education system.

    To suspect something is one thing, to be sure of it you need to gather and analyse data at best. A night to confirm it is reasonable. And bathroom in a metro is a luxury, how many undergrounds have those facilities (dont know, none in montreal, canada)?

  22. Re:Not The Same...or Are They and Does It Matter on The US Now Faces the Same Dilemma Over Drones As It Did Over Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I believe the point was that if the USA justify the use of drones to take out targets in other countries we are not in conflict with, there is a real possibility that another country can use drones to take out targets in the USA as long as they are declared terrorists. It is more about rules of engagement then the destructive power of each weapon system. That being said, I found making friends out of foes is more easy and fun than focusing on hate and destruction.
