Um, has it occured to you that there would've been noway for man or woman to reach the moon without the technology from the japs or germans? and besides...what the fuck was on the moon anyways? Next stop- Mars...Yeah lets spend spend spend to see whats there!

perhaps you should read this

Read it. A NASA page dedicated to NASA. Theres a shocker. I stand by my beliefs that the USA is spending too much on things outside of their own counrty, outside of the planet of things that should be secondary. Simple. Food, shelter...those are first. Not moon or mars rocks. Rediculous. The canadian Gov. just touted a surplus in their budget of 1.9 Billion dollars. I know, surplus. A word not often associated with budget with Americans, but yes, we are using most on schools and health care....Every 2 to 4 years we end up with a surplus. And yet every 2 to 4 years you guys end up in space or in a war. Go figure?

Okay JA, what you spew that you don't know about? Our health care. Yes, we have waiting lists. Because too many idiots take advantage of not having to pay. However, emergency cases bump "lower" ones. It took two weeks for my hubbie to get his MRI and Cat Scan when he was diagnosed with his PD.

Recently, it took me one week to get in for ultrasound, and two weeks for an appointment for a specialist. When my pacemaker leads went, it took 1 week for a surgery date, which was one week later.

Do a lot of Canadians go to the States for surgery or treatment? Yes, if it is not available here, or there is a long waiting list. And our government-sponsored health care system pays for the majority of it. Unfortunately, the ones who whine about our health care are the same ones that abuse it. They'll go to emergency for a damned cold, and then bitch about having to be there for 8 hours. It's called triage folks, whoever needs the medical attention most, gets it first.

Unfortunately, Big Trouble is mistaken when it comes to there being a shortage of Dr's. There is. It is only in the last couple of years that the provinces have started offering Dr's enough money to stop them from going South.

As for the crap about there being only one insurer when it comes to medication? WRONG! Universal health-care does not include prescription medications. We pay cash, or through private insurance.

If you take a look at those who bitch about our health care, you'll see it's usually immigrants that would be dead if they were still in their own country.

Are we perfect? OF COURSE NOT! Our Liberal govt run has ruined our military, and our peacekeeping reputation in the process. More money has to spent on our forces, and I don't mean now, I mean YESTERDAY! Our troops are treated like shit by our leaders, and it is one thing I am DEFINITELY ashamed of!

Are we British citizens? NO! Our passports are CANADIAN! Here's how it went down, when it comes to our name, and when we became a country, etc.

1840: Act of Union unites Canada West (Ontario) and Canada East (Quebec) into the Province of Canada. (A province of Britain)

1867: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Ontario unite in a confederation called the Dominion of Canada (a Dominion of Canada)

Then, through the years you get a bunch of the provinces joining the Dominion, and the Yukon and Northwest receive territorial status.

1931: The Statute of Westminster gives Canada complete independence from Great Britian. So, 1931 is the actual date when we became an independent NATION. We had always been a COUNTRY.

1990: We adopted a new constitution that ended British rule over constitutional amendments, and added a Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canada has been a country ever since the first explorer misunderstood the native word for village, and mistook it for the name of the land (Ca-Na-Da). We do not answer to Britain for anything. We are still part of the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of sovereign independent states, each responsible for its own policies, consulting and co-operating in the interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace.

So, please, don't tell me again how we kneel to a King, etc. We don't, well except for here in Alberta where we sometimes kneel to King Ralph, but that's another lesson!

:D

Sweet cheeks, you've just validated everything I've said about your healthcare system. Interesting way to prove that I don't know fuck about it.

Now back to worshipping your Queen, peasant!

How do you know I don't do volunteer work? And with the amount I've done, I've learn that the majority of homeless here in the city that are actually homeless don't want help, just money to get booze. Maybe it's different in Canada, but the majority of people who see sitting on the streets here or panhandling on the trains aren't actually poor. 90% of them use that to make extra money, and make at least 300 a day doing it. And I'm not talking extra money like they are scrapping to make ends meet. I'm talking about they dont take a bath for 2 weeks, panhandle all day, and then get into their brand new cars and drive home. My friend just paid her spring break that way. She wore some old ripped jeans she had, one of her brother's shirts, tagged her 2 yr old sister along, and started giving speeches in the cars how she didn't have enough money to get her baby daughter medical help. People openned up their wallets. Made well over $1500.

Remember that earthquake in Iran? The US sent more aid than all other nations COMBINED. Perhaps we do spend money on worthless things..........like that aid and like protecting Canada.

well then, how you said it was very redundant.

By saying NASA page, you implied that it was from the organization. Just basic grammatical stuff

So what you really meant to say was that whoopee, it's a page dedicated to NASA. Which then, I ask you, if you were going to find information on such a topic, where would you go?

And maybe you don't appreciate it, but I certainly am glad that advances in ultrasound and pacemakers, earthquake prediction, improvements on the engine which rests in your car and the brakes that help stop it. I'm also sure that firemen are glad that due to NASA's finding, lighter air tanks could be developed that they don't haftaworry about carrying that heavy tank on their back trynig to save people. Not to mention, or forget, that the very technology that allows us to commicate came from NASA. I think I stick with NASA.
