Considering that video games and skateboarding appear to be the only skills your generation is capable of I somehow find the idea of you and your other emo kid buddies manning the barricades to be particularly laughable.
Um... Fuck you?
Don't take it too seriously, chief. I hated teenagers even when I was one.


Same!
"Loyal she began, Loyal she remains...."
No to Streaker as a US citizen!

I am one and I hate teenagers....and everything else. My parents, teachers, police, government officials, all of you, artists,

What I don't understand is all the fuss about Canada as a sovereign nation, or part of the USA.
Of course you don't!

There are more illegals in the U.S. then there are Canadians in Canada...
If, by 'Canadians', you mean aboriginal people then yes.
However, if you mean citizens then you've got some remedial math classes in your future.

In summary, there were an estimated 11.6 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States as of January 2006.

I don't need to mention the population of Canada, do I?

Granted that statement may have been extreme. 30 plus million is a large number, however to take stats from the U.S. govt is a little naive. Especially on this issue..The govt has been pandering to the Mexican govt for some time now..If the states really wanted to clamp down on illegals they could have made a more significant effort in the past and now..Just the fact that they are dragging their feet on building the fence is a sign.
The current administration wants this S.P.P. to move forward so to spot light the Mexicans is almost taboo. So when they talk about illegals many of the facts are watered down so as not to cause such a rise from the American people.
And how can one really get a specific number on an illegal issue. Did they go door to door..Its like when you actually see a mouse or insect in your home. For ever one you actually see there are 10 more..
And another thing that is not taken into account is the American born children of illegals, that is a grey area..You can bet that is a large number..

Exactly WHY we shouldn't join the US.
In Canada your freedom is not contingent on hiring a lawyer, it's real. You're not subject to being drummed out when you call bullshit to the mainstream.
One voice in 32 million vs one voice in 300 million, and the structure of Parliament gives you a hell of a lot more influence in political decision making.
The NDP.... all but the most tunnel-visioned neocon see the value of a party not beholden to corporate interests.
We're in a unique position of not having severed our ties to the EU and all it would take is someone to take the ball and run with it to place as as intermediary between the NAFTA market and the EU market.
Same goes for any Commonwealth trade.

Extreme? I think you mean that you pulled it out of your ass and now you're furiously backpeddaling.

You can take it or leave it. It is, according to the quote, an estimate. Much better than your "more illegals in America than Canadians in Canada."

Didn't seem to stop you from speculating wildly.

Classic racist comparison, comparing illegal aliens to insects.

Only you say it isn't taken into account.
Seriously, everything you written is a complete fantasy! You've pulled everything out of your magical mental imagination machine.
For some one who criticizes and has a distrust for the Bush administration it's funny to see you quote from Home Land Security..
US CENSUS BUREAU, US CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES, PEW HISPANIC CENTER, US BORDER PATROL UNION LOCAL 2544, BEAR STEARNS ASSET MANAGEMENT, they all quote ranging from 7 to 20 million..
I guess some illegals don't like to be honest when filling out certain documents..
Which ever number you choose to use its all speculative...
To whom ever edited this post, you could of at least corrected the gramer when you edited my words...Some one is looking out for you burns..

Bored enough to talk to you, what's your excuse? Limp in your wrist? Boyfriend troubles?
I Love America But I love Canada More and Although I Belive Canada Should Be The The US's and The US Should Be Canadas:
- Largest Trading Partner
- Biggest Ally
- Largest Supporter on The Internatinal Stage
Canada Should Embrace The United States But we Should Keep our Poltical Independence Because That is What makes us different. And Dont give me any of that Bulls**t about culture Our Culture is Beer, Tim Hortons, Hockey, Crappy CBC Documentrys and Freeze Your Balls Off Winters. These are the only differences in Culture other than that we all watch American Idol More Than Canadian Idol so essently we have the same culture with Minor Differences that don't make a difference
(I'm Keeping Quebec And Newfie Culture Out of This They are Unique)

Glad you didn't misunderstand my post.
But that's good the they got some new technology. Now if they get a few battleships they can patrol the Arctic.
Battleships?
Sounds like you're the one who doesn't understand. Battleships were obsolete on or around 7:15am December 7, 1941 (if not before).

They still have some use, the first Gulf War proved that

Here, I mean, compared to the good old days of WWI, they don't have as much use, but they have their uses still.
