Homeland Security to require License to get on the Internet

[RolloTheGreat]

Of course, Rollo. Whatever you say.  Let's just put whatever parameters we need to on this discussion so that you can be right.  Do you notice how you need to set your own parameters?  You never seem to be able to debate something on its own merits.  You always need this bullshit.

I understand you frustration.

Canada and the USA are both first world countries with large metropolitan areas, highly developed infrastructures, very similar in many ways.

You throw out that it's "much nicer" to live in Canada, on the heels of many times stating how Canada is more "advanced/progressive" and the USA should be doing better.

It must be quite the shock to you to find out that internationally seven times as many move to the country you disparage and belittle, even though it's more difficult to get into the "less advanced, less nice" place.

Worse yet, the people leaving Canada to come here compared to those who leave here to go there is a 4:1 ratio.

What you're experiencing is called "cognitive dissonance". You have a set of beliefs you have constructed about the superiority of Canadian life, I've showed you (with facts from your own government) that people who move would rather live here than there. (by a large margin)

So you trot out your "it's skewed because you have more people!" defense, forgetting that the whole point of human existence is to get more space and live in less population density. You ever hear of rich people moving to smaller apartments, smaller houses?

Canada is 230th for population density, and the USA is around 180. So they're pretty similar with the advantage going to Canada.

Very strange that the nicer place to live that has more space to do it and similar employment prospects, isn't it?
