    We actually like freedom loving peoples who want to contribute to our society, so long as they come legally.

    unfortunately, i cant come legally. i tried to talk to a lawyer and told me to play the immigrant lottery. you guys lost out on someone who loves Liberty, private property rights, and Respect. but i think i can thank mexico and the taliban for that

    Hard to say, although the present might not be the best time for it, with the soaring unemployment the liberals have created.

    You should check into your career field here in the US and see if anyone needs your skill set, a work visa is always possible, it would be a good step.

    We'll probably reform our policy soon enough.

    Also, I believe we may have a fast-track option similar to Canada's if you have education or skill in certain fields.

    Getting a green card is fairly easy, and I believe that might actually speed up the citizenship process as well.

    I understand the thing about Canada's capital, but why should we care about Canada's history? By the way, I already knew Canada's capital was Ottawa and Mexico's is Mexico City. I wonder how many Canadians know what our capital is. However, I'm not even nearly 100% on every country's capital, but I used to be.

    I know Lake Champlain was significant in the war of 1812, but I kind of got that off of "How the States got their shapes." By the way, it seems we kinda, sorta stole land from you as well, 3/4 of mile of land further north and about half of Vermont's northern border, west to east. Apparently, it was an error by two drunken land surveyors. Part of that land belongs to New York as well. If we didn't decide to take the land, we would of had an American fort in Canada.

    well at least we have some things we can agree on. those talliban tigers are useless trouble makers and you seem not to mind the useless gun registry getting scrapped. now you just need someone to educate you about what happened to the U.S.S.R. and how totalitarian marxist governments fail and why personal liberty is so great- i mean with personal liberty, you will screw up and fail but you learn and the sky is the limit when you want to set goals for yourself.

    Is it Canada City?

    I have never seen a nation with a bigger inferiority complex than Canada. Yes, most Americans dont care enough about Canada to know what your capital is. So what. That doesnt mean you're not people. Let it go already.


    Why is it sad? Of what practical value is it to the average American to know that information?

    to all you americans out there, a "safe injection sight" is where kids shoot heroine and cops cant book them as long as they are within that sight. it only exists in Vancouver, b.c.. why dont you invite the kids to your house to safely inject themselves with "free" government needles that the B.C. government provides for everyone? I'll hlp set it up for you

    on the other hand, i believe in the libertarian approach to the war on drugs: legalize everything. when you do that, the market gets flooded and the value plummets leaving organized crime to find some other business to do. people are only hurting themselves when shooting drugs. and weed is not harmless- rust me, i used to love it whe i was in high school- and its not illegal- and prices have plummeted since it became legal to smoke:weed:
