The Electoral College? The Electoral College votes the way the popular vote goes within the state. So WHEN (not if) Massachusetts votes for a Democrat... they get all the electoral votes of that state.
A National Shame?

Oh I see.
Only what you believe is a real freedom counts. By all means, I will admit, we do not have the same gun-related freedoms Americans have. But that is still an individual freedom just as pot-smoking, prostitution, and homosexuality are. So, unless you want to accept that little fact, I couldn't care less if you want to free any more of your speech, but you'll still be on the losing end of this argument.
Shocking also that the guy that loses gets a half million more votes than the guy that wins.
Yep, that's real democracy in action.

Do you think they will understand the above .I don't think they are ready yet Joffen .

no election without the Monarch's consent eh....lol.... maybe on paper, but that's as far as it goes. Take a look at the King/Byng affair for a little education. Obviously you slept through your Canadian History classes when you went to school.
Does being free mean you get to do whatever you want?
Lets see then...
Not sure what you mean. There have been all kinds of laws protecting the rights of gay people for years.
The "rest of the world" tolerates gay people? Are you sure?
Marijuana is legal in Canada?
Prostitution is legal?
If I do recall... did not the Canadian Govt. warn Ann Coulture that Canada's speech laws are a little more restrictive and she should watch what she says while speaking in Canada?
Like Greek Socialism? French Socialism?
See Unsustainable
and speaking of freedom, I see you still haven't had any response to the Patriot act or the new laws in Arizona? I believe it is.
Yes.
Nope.... Anything that supports prostitution is taboo. Same with weed - smoking it isn't a crime. Go figure, eh....
Feel free to get back on topic folks. If this is nothing but 'America rules', 'No Canada rules', 'You're lame', 'No you're lame!'.... there is no point in leaving it open.
Joffen, for all intents and purposes, you seem unable to back up the meat of your claim.
Is Canada's economy in the toilet and the US's better? Does the US spend less per capita on health care, with a better outcome (ie., life expectancy, infant mortality, ER wait times, surgery wait times)? Does the fact that the US DOES have socialized medicine (even Eagle has pointed out the poor get treated), not factor in?
Answer some of those questions with some cold hard fact rather than just sabre rattling.

So you aren't 100% free. They put restrictions on it... right?
What happens if I spark up a big fat joint in front of a Canadian Mountie?
I'll ask you the same... I can just blaze up on the street or in public?
