Thats because, without a doubt, the United States used to be the greatest country in the world, my own parents immigrated from here to there to make a better life for themselves, one they couldnt afford to make here. They were blue-collar workers with barely a grade school education, were able to buy homes, new cars, and live a very comfortable life...they speak of an America I never got to enjoy and one my son will never know either...
While you all tear at each others throats over right wing/left wing rehtoric, your wonderful country is falling apart from the inside out...I really am very sad...I wish you all would wake up and save that great country.

clearly you are happy with the way things are in society I however am not..
I believe that a capitalist based society leads to too few, having too much, leaving too little, for too many. I think that government should be as minmal as possible and should serve and protect its citizens. I believe that the "free market", leads to poverty and misery for most and that certain things such as housing, education, proper nutrition, medical attention and a decent standard of living for EVERYONE are rights, not priviledges..

Because of that I will continue to proudly call myself a socialist/communist and will work towards achieving a higher and socially just standard of living for everyone, including you.

Beach isn't this where the probing began????

I have news for all these American hating Canadians too. Lesser but similar problems are in store for the Canadian economy.
Mexico and Canadian exports to and from American are 88% of their economy!

Kid,ask me if I care if you think I was rude. You are just spouting off to me to cause controversy. Admit it, you could care less if anyone else had posted these remarks.

AND, OBVIOUSLY YOU DID NOT READ THE ENTIRE STORY. THE WOMAN APOLOGIZED TO ME FOR BEING SO RUDE TO THE AMERICANS!! DUHHHHHHHHHHH

Just WHAT is so PRIVATE when they speak so loudly?

Talk about RUDE? A little bit suspicious when they have to speak in a foreign tongue so others do not know what they are saying. HOMELAND SECURITY PLEASE!!!!

Winx,

I KNOW you have a good heart, but from working with people coming here legally and going through what they have to, you would develope a different attitude.

I take the bus to work. Years ago there were several Chinese people who took the bus with me. All very polite humble people. EXCEPT they would start talking in their native language deliberately so no one could understand what they were talking about.

One day I got soooo mad I said out loud for the entire bus passengers to hear "Excuse me, but this is the United State and we speak English." Dead silence.

But, let me tell you. The one woman who did this quite frequently, well the Park 'n Ride where we park our cars and catch the bus to downtown PGH. would get very crowded at times, yet I was always there to direct her into getting into a spot and avoid smashing into another car. She was always late and in a hurry. I always got out of line and went and helped her. No one else would.

Eventually she apologized to me for deliberately speaking her native language to her friends so no one would know what was being said.


End of my story.

Yes, and the junk was created by union workers. Hell some of them care, but the majority of them lax on their jobs because they hide behind the protection of their union contract. I have a friend who is a supervisor at chrysler that can tell you hair straightening stories about how some of those people act on the job

unions are dead. They have killed the automotive industry, and forced the american auto makers to play second fiddle to imports. Your job will be gone within the next ten years. I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it
