Believe me, brother, as an American living in Canada, I can tell you that I have few Canadians that give two flying fucks what Americans think of this country. Do you really think impressing trailer trash such as yourself is the number one goal of a free society?

Anyway, I don't agree with all Canadian legislation pertaining to government spending or Canadian content laws, but I'm certainly proud that the social attitudes in this country are about 20 years ahead of many U.S. states' social legislation (or even more)...going right back to Canada (as various provinces) denouncing slavery and it being a normal part of the U.S. economy.

Trust me...an international viewpoint gives you greater wisdom than your narrow-minded US VS. THEM rhetoric.

No wonder your name is ZEROINCHES. It's made you very bitter.

No Rikk,

If you want him/her? to understand... you have to use a "trailer trash" language
(one that you and I really don't have to learn)...

You're right. When Chris Katan is this man's ambassador, talking to him at the modern-day SNL level is like asking to have a social lobotomy.

Anyway, it may interest ZEROINCHES to know that Quebec especially is truly a culture that has little interest in the United States, with its own self-sufficient television, film and music industry. The rest of Canada is definitely more obsessed with U.S. pop culture...but not to the level of actually admiring Chris Katan.

Listen, I'm just stating the facts, seriously, when was the last time canadians made headlines for anything? And seriously, with war, aids, post live 8, the upcoming G8 summit, and hurricane season...have things settled down so much, that we now look to what canada does?

Hell, when somebody first told me about this, basically, the only thing I said was "And?" as did other americans. Now, if canada were to legalize pot, just like they did in Amsterdam...I could see that being a headline worth reading, and a reason to promote canadian tourism.

Exactly what internation viewpoint could give you the wisdom to say that legalizing gay marriages is still worth a headline? It's not even as though Canada is the first country to do it anyway, would you then say that canada's social policy is lagging that of western europeon countries, who lean more towards socialism, then concentrating on a strong competitive economy? Please.

No wonder your name is ZEROINCHES. It's made you very bitter.

Nice parody, how old are you again? Hell, telling somebody is ignorant and insenstive towards a situation, then state they shouldn't mock others is one thing; but when you go about making fun of americans as a defense, and cheap name calling...Well, that's sort of the whole "Pot calling the Kettle black" thing. Though you state intesting points, your view is skewered by your own blatent hypocricy.

Feel free though to mock my spelling, grammar, and my name though. Hell, lord knows not using the spell check function helps to level the perverbal playing feild of debates around here.

Once sombody says something you don't agree with, you exercise some good o' fashion Ad hominem, and duck away from having to really debate.

Best to luck with that.

First I don't admire chris Katan, I just like his paradoy of Dave.
Anyway, of Course Quebec has little to no interest in the united states...this is a part of canada that prides themselfs on being french!!! LOL. Hell, in true fashion they want to break away from canada and become a french state. Wow, way to state the obvious rikk, thankyou.

I can see why you're too scared to debate, You got nothing to say. After all, this topic started off, and went on about how canada is better than america because of this, and I post a counter argument to that viewpoint. Now, it's deemed that I'm not worth talking to. I guess you like the sound of your own voice, and your own reassurance with your fellow canadians. I guess firmly standing by the new so called "open minded" views, and "mature" social policies, is out of the question, since you feel the need to immaturely ride off the debate that "ew...he's trailer trash...na na na na" mentality. So nice way of ducking the conversation, I guess you're not really proud of this decesion of legislation, now are you?

[Rikk]

You are missing the entire point. You keep arguing something that I have already dismissed, but you are maybe too stupid to spot that.

Did you ever put through the realization that the world isn't one big show for the masses? Many Amerians really think the entire world cries at every American disaster and puts America at the top of some heap of social normality. Believe me, it's quite the opposite in many parts of the world.

But here's the real point that I'll state once more...see if you can catch it this time: the objective of a free nation is not to get headlines in other countries. That is maybe the last thing a country gives a fuck about unless it's searching for financial aid. Canada passes its legislation based on whether or not it thinks it's best for the country. Gay marriage legislation wasn't passed for an idiot like yourself to read it in the papers. It was passed because legislators felt this was another way to improve human rights in the country.

And frankly, if world image was really what made a country good, I guess negative press wouldn't be a good thing right? Because I believe the statistics are that the U.S. has its worst international image in its entire history right now. The United States is, sadly, the most hated country in the world right now. It's image is really (and I'm not saying this is an accurate image) one of backwards rednecks that love their guns, enjoy stomping on other countries for oil, resources and extremely premature defense, etc.

Believe me, gay marriage legislation has nothing to do with impressing Johnny Arkansas. And world image means diddly-shit if the country is fairly self-sufficient.

Have a nice day, ZEROINCHES.

Wow..again childish namecalling... I guess the whole mature look towards homosexuality has gone out of the window.

Anyway, my point goes beyond just headlines...Quite frankly, it doesn't matter what canada does to try to impress the world...IN a society that is mostly about who has the best military, economy, and accomplishments, This quitefrankly bearly qualifies as news. Seriously, if this is to be looked at by other countries as an example toward true "freedom", it should be something fairly new, which it's not. As for something that's right? Right to who? Homosexuals? Which make up bearly a 1/10 of the population in the world, let alone canada? That's like making laws to benifit those who wear glasses or are left handed. And really, is this something a good portion of the world wants, or sees? Basically prideing yourself as a country that basically shoves homosexuality as a rightful act, going against all laws, and religious beliefs, weither you like or not. Is that freedom then?

This isn't just about making news...News is doing something new, and doing something that is new and worth talking about. You legalized gay marriage. Good for you. What about solving a failing health care plan? Or solving the problem of funding socialist ideas, while still having a strong economy? Has canada done that? No. That would be news.

And that's the point...This isn't news...this is just another country, going yet one more step towards a socialist belief, that is already practiced in western euorpean states.

Now, Britian getting the olympics....that's news. Legalizing gay marriage is a minor accomplishment.

[Rikk]

Once again, idiot, this isn't about news. You really are psychotic, aren't you? You really can't read or understand what legislation is about, can you?

1) Canada's economy is in far better shape than the United States' economy.

2) Health care? Don't talk to Canada about health care!

3) Legislation isn't about majority benefit. The majority of the world would benefit if all the money of the wealthy went to the poor. But would that be good legislation just because it benefitted the majority? Fuck no. It would be unjust and go against the classic ideals of capitalism that keep this world turning. Making gay marriage legal isn't about benefitting a majority. Just as providing civil rights to black people wasn't about benefitting the majority. And once again, though you keep ignoring this point as if you're too stupid to read it, passing the gay marriage legislation wasn't about following other countries. Did you ever think it was because the legislators felt it was just? And if you want to talk about majority, maybe the fact that the majority of Canadians support it speaks volumes? But even that is irrelevant.

You argue in circles. It's rather sad to watch.

Wow...
That "Zero" thing is really an IGNORANT!

Quebec voted NO (more than once) to separation,

If you would have been around and knew how to read, you would know that I am quite able to debate...
WITH WORTHED PEOPLE,

At least I have a good reason to misspell...

How many languages do YOU understand (if any)?

You know Keeyth,

I keep on explaining to "everyone" here, that not ALL Americans are created equal... L.O.L.
