Quit whining, since you are obviously not part of the solution.

I sincerely hope you have enough "points" to make it to Canada.


I'd be happy to donate my points for you Jeff. I get 67 points for being
the right age...plus I'm a skilled worker in a field they are looking for,
*and* I'm an entrepreneur. How many points would you like?


Forget it NOYB. After I send a few of your posts to immigration dept. you'll
be in the minus catagory.

I am 57 years old. I have come to learn that above all, I am an American and
fully trust and believe in the electoral process and a representative form
of government.

I have traveled the world (much on business) and there is no place I would
rather live than the good old USA.

When others come of age, they too will share my views.

I love it...thanks...

Canada is looking attractive as a safe haven for skipping out on the
failing fascist United States...

The following is from a "conversation" I had with Gould at about the time
the exit polls were predicting a big win for Kerry.

Maybe you should take a lesson from it.

Your signature line shows you for what you are. An anarchist that does not
bellieve in democracy. An ananrchist with the purposeful intent of
dividing
the country.

Go to Canada, France, Ireland, Germany, or wherever else you wish. You are
a
joke and an example of what an American is not. If you hate our electoral
process so much, get the hell out.

I enthusiastically agree with that.

Bogus registrations and votes are an abuse of the system, and should not
be
allowed.

"Challenges" that are clearly intended to disrupt the polling process in
non-friendly precints would also be an abuse of the system.

If all of America is supposed to get behind the winner of today's
election, it
will be important that the vast majority of people conclude that this
contest,
even if close, is fairly and honestly decided.




I couldn't agree with you more wholeheartedly. If Kerry wins, he will be
My
President. If Bush wins, he will be My President.


Either will receive my support. We as a nation have to accept what the
nations people decide.


It does disturb me when I hear of the types that if so&so wins, they are
moving out of the country. If they don't like our electoral process they
should get the hell out now.



And Chuckie has yet to show support for GWB. I guess it makes him a liar.

it's a tad cool for my taste.


Uh-oh, here come the tap dance.


There are a number of places in this world that offer better lifestyles
to capable adults who wish to become American ex-pats.


If you're going to leave, don't be a wimp. Renounce your citizenship on the
way out. No turning back.

I think it would
be a perfect squelch if significant numbers of this country's best and
brightest thinkers just picked up and left,


That's a different scenario. You *were* talking about your own departure.
Personally, I'd love to see all the self-centered, pompous fools make good
on their threats to leave. Those of us remaining could buy an apartment on
the upper west side for $15,000.


.... set off dirty nukes in the top 20 markets on
the same day. And that would do it.


Sounds like you've got it all planned.

Indeed, and as you know, Canada is one of my favorite places, but...
it's a tad cool for my taste. I have a retired buddy who moved to Costa
Rica a few years ago, bought himself a small coffee plantation for under
$100,000, and plays at farmer and fishing guide. Costa Rica is pretty
stable and the weather is great.

There are a number of places in this world that offer better lifestyles
to capable adults who wish to become American ex-pats. I think it would
be a perfect squelch if significant numbers of this country's best and
brightest thinkers just picked up and left, and watched from afar as the
United States sank deeper and deeper into the fascist primordial soup.
The United States is becoming less and less relevant in the world
economy and the world order, and at some point the enemies it is
creating for itself may well ally, at least for a day, and deal this
country a really serious blow. You do not need aircraft carriers,
submarines, or missiles to set off dirty nukes in the top 20 markets on
the same day. And that would do it.

Why don't you just leave.

BTW, did I mention I really hate your siganature line. It shows just how
much you hate your fellow Americans.

I get a kick out of this statement.

I wonder why it is that Canadian Doctors send their relatives and
cardiac cases to the US for treatment?

They don't take everyone, that's for sure. It's expensive to get in
(lots of application fees) Takes a long time, and they won't take you if
you have any kind of criminal record or severe health problem. You need
67 points, which you get for being between 21 and 49, and you lose them
for being outside that range. You gain them for education, speaking
French or English, having Canadian relatives and some other reasons.

You have to either be a skilled worker in a field they are looking for,
an entrepreneur, or an investor. The last two categories mean you need
to have hundreds of thousands of $$$ to bring to Canada.


We should have a similar "weighting" system when people try to
immigrate here. But the liberals would have a fit and claim that we
are being "discriminatory"...

The upside is that they are just so much smarter than we are. Think of
their stands on fiscal responsibility, health care (not perfect, but a
lot better than ours), guns, abortion, the environment, religion in
government, etc. I think it must be global warming creeping up and
cooking the brains of our southern brethren. I'm bummed that we could be
so stupid, selfish and shortsighted.

Fortunately, the folks who spat on you just lost the election.......
