. i don't know about canada. out social welfare rate is dropping in the mains provinces. But I hate the way we use pseudo-legal Mexican farmers to help our crops. They are treated very unfairly because of the legal limbo in which they are positionned. If work was allowed openly and freely on both sides of the border, our it would be simply outlawed to treat them the way they are treated.

The point is they "do" vote, whether eligible or not. Votes from ineligible & nonexistent voters have been critical to the Democratic Party since 1960, if not before. And when anyone, such as a Republican, challenges those "votes," they are accused of trying to disenfranchise "voters" whose undocumented eligibility (or existence) is considered by the Democrats to be unassailable. And they always throw in an allegation of racism just for grins, since they also assume th

I have heard quite a few people here complaining against any political organisation that would look like the European Union, but applied to North America. Since no name has ever been give to such hypothetical organisation, and "American Union" is somewhat applied to the U.S.A. anyway, I will use "American Alliance" (and anyway, it has a nice ring to it) I'd say the U.S.A, the U.S.M, and the Canadian Federation would all benefit from such political reach between our countries. 1

The only reason many so-called Democrats bother to vote at ALL is because the local Party sends free buses into the projects, offering free crack cocaine, fried chicken, ugly white girls, and 40oz liquor to anyone they can pick up and transport to the polls. that is probably the most single greatest stupid/invented allegation I ever heard while trying to smear democrats.. or any political parties. And still, I don't get your point. What does the

In a game like SW:EaW every shot fired by a ship is exactly that a shot. God I hate trying to shot down a correlian gunship with Destroyers. These things just zoom around, dodging everything you throw at them. As opposed to seeing warp in a Nebulon Frigate, which get clobbered and killed in about half a second.

Problem four: No argument. Neither party is "good" for the economy; it's pretty much spin. 70% of the U.S.'s debt has been generated under the last 3 republican presidents If your immigration solution is implemented, the Dems will never win another election. They depend too much on the votes of illegal aliens, felons, and other ineligibles, referring to them as 'disenfranchised. ...? duh? what? Lemme rer

then how come the only ones you ever attack are the republicans. how come the only ones you ever attack are the liberals? If the majority of Americans really wanted the war with Iraq to end, the democrat controled house and democrat controled senate would not have any problem forcing Bush to withdrawl the troops. since Bush can veto anything the congress agrees on, it doesn't work that way. And there is

Insurance is great, if you can't bring yourself to save money, or if you have a horrible disease that costs a ton of money to treat (so long as you had insurance first). Basically, if you saved the premiums you would have paid instead of paying them, as a sort of 'health' savings, you should have enough money for care. that's not 100% true, because if you get a medical problem in the first few years, maybe you did not saved ennough money. And i

I simply know the basic mathematic theory behind insurance. But the problem is that people are getting healthcare without paying for it, so the solution is... mandatory insurance... but people will still get healthcare without paying for it, even though they have insurance - because of pre-existing conditions, etc. So it's a non-solution that looks good on paper, to some people, but is terrible in practice The trick is universal healthcare. Or at least,

And what kind of coverage will they give us? Not full coverage, for sure! Pre-existing condition? Still excluded! Need that operation? We don't cover THAT one... Want to see a certain doctor? You don't have that right. If you simply knew the basic mathematic theory behind insurance, you would understand why insurance company act that way. It is about risk management/cover. But there is no risk in insuring a pre-existing condition.. more like a certainty.

My god, the arguments are flying really low in this thread. Bad boys, now get back to kindergarden! Ok, seriously.. The problem with people like this (and I wonder if Blackwater is the same), is that they exceed their legal boundaries and are sometimes encouraged by the "powers that be" to go beyond their brief. I think the problem is, the U.S. security company in Iraq don´t have any legal boundaries. The U.S. forced the IRaqi governeme

Well, you know that increasing taxes on the rich people in order to supply services to the MIDDLE class (underline MIDDLE class), which they won't have to pay, will help a lot toward increasing the spending power of this middle class? Spending power OR saving power. Which mean it's possible to increase the number of people considered "rich".
