Oh please, what has that to do whit the topic?
Random, there are other countries out there, whether you like it or not. And the people living there will say about America what they feel, whether YOU like it or not, it is our God given right to do so.

you are soo far out of touch with what's going on in the real world if you think poor people choose to live that way random x.

i agree that there are some who would rather work for minimum wage because it is easier but that doesn't go for the majority of the poor in the united states.

There are people that have to tell themselves that they are right, no matter what, otherwise they would lose their purpose in life.

sometimes, it takes an objective view from someone who does NOT live here to point out issues that we have blinded ourselves to out of patriotism.

and...just because they don't live in the US, why shouldn't they be able to voice their opinions. especially their educated and intelligent ones? seriously...americans think they can comment on EVERYTHING, why are we the only ones?

Wow Random.....Ive never had to wait for an operation ever in Canada. I think you read too many comics. There is a very small percentage that will go into the USA to get an operation. You make it sound like people are dying everywhere here...which makes me laugh all the harder that america needs better education!!!!laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

And as for Education its not a matter of not being Generous enough its a matter of Spending the Funding on the RIGHT things Reading,Writing,Mathematics and Physical Education YES P.E. Ever since MOST P.E. Programs have either been Cut all together or Cut back to once a week Americas Children's Health has suffered for it

But instead we Spend it on _______ Month this and ______ Month that.All Stupid Second Language classes should be booted and Funding sent to more important stuff.

So everyone who wants to talk to you should just learn english?
How biased is that?
Since America is multi- cultural, everybody should be able to speak at least 2 languages, don't you think?

But it's so easy for you, since every eejit in the world has at least a few words of English.
