Myself, I'm a Canadian Citizen and US Citizen...

We are all "American," at least the last time I looked at a map...


Mulcair is an American and a European...

Really. Accepted definition of "american" is someone that is a citizen of the united s***s of america. I don't live there, therefore I am NOT an american. I am a Canadian.

It's not just obamas. It's american..period. I've said it before, doesn't matter if it's a democrat or a republican in office. All americans are war mongers. With the amount of killing america does, I doubt any of them really know what peace is.

That's not a very nuanced opinion. I asked about the drone war. That didn't take off, as it were, until after President Obama was inaugurated. There is no basis in either American or international law that legitimizes this drone war. This makes Mr. Obama a candidate for the Hague.

Personally, I guess I'm won of those war mongers gerryh was talking about..

I think Bush did right by going into Iraq, and I think Obama needs more drone attacks..

Whatever it takes to stop terrorism from coming to our shores again, do it. Because the next time it could be a nuke in a container shipped into the Long Beach harbor.

..or even an attack on Canada.. even though most Canadian feel it will never happen. (Air India should be a reminder, it did)

I'd vote Obama if I was in the U.S., he's the lesser of two evils. Plus, the "Obamacare" is a good thing for americans even of it's not perfect. We have a public health system here and we can be proud of it. There's no point to being wealthy if you can't be healthy.

Yes, but if you're poor they let you rot in the street, that's the sad part. Here, you only need a little plastic card.

Actually that's not 100% correct.. you may not get the fastest or the best care, but you will be taken care of, after you fill out a sh!t load of paperwork.

MediCare and MediCaid are designed just for that.. link below will explain it better.

What is Medicare? What is Medicaid?

Also, in Canada, some provinces charge higher monthly premiums if you are clinically diagnosed with an illness.. I think Ontario does this to business owners, based on yearly income.

BTW, I prefer the Canadian health care system over the U.S. health care system, I have used both when diagnosed with a parotid mass (tumor) behind my left ear on the neck. Canadian system kept care of it.

Yeah, it's working well here in general.

From what I read on the site you mentioned, there must be some management problems since each state sets its own rules. That's probably what they want to correct with their new system.

Yet, you also live on the continent America... which also makes you American.. geographically speaking.

Actually, "geographically speaking", I live on the NORTH American continent. There is no "America" continent. You go to school in the states?

Cleaver reply..
however, if I was educated in the US I would be agreeing with you.

However, you just proved my point, fellow American..

No I haven't. I am not a citizen of any "entity" called "america". I am a citizen of Canada. Therefore I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian.

aagh!! HA!! But the original question was not, are you a US Citizen or a Canadian Citizen, it was...

...which you are, and noted also a Proud Canadian Citizen too.


Definition: Urban Dictionary: american

Technically, an American is someone from the Americas - i.e. North or South America. However, it is so commonly referring to people from the USA that we'll just ignore that point for now.

An American is someone who lives in the USA. Not all americans are overweight, ignorant pricks with an addiction to burgers and flag waving. Some of them are actually friendly, intelligent people!

Remember, kids: just because meet or hear one person from a certain place doesn't mean that everyone from there is like it. Oh, and did I mention that the actions of the US government don't ALWAYS speak unanimously for every last citizen of the USA? Just wanted to clear that up.

They do think some wierd things, though.. They call football soccer, American football football, aluminium aloominum, jam jelly and so on. But belittling them for differences like that would be a bit petty of me, wouldn't it?

The big mouth and insanity of George Bush is responsible for the mess
America is in. It started even before Enron. In fact the real problem was
back in the eighties when Ronnie Reagan began his deregulation and
opted for the power of uncontrolled greed.
In a way I would like to see Romney elected and at the mercy of the Tea
Party and the likes of Michelle Bachmann and her return to McCarthyism.
The place would be on its knees in a year. When the dust clears the
Republicans will very likely lose the election and if they win America is
completely hooped and will cease to be a world power inside of a generation.

You know, the American continent was not incorrect. it's just out dated.. as are the Olympic rings.



The Olympic Rings, a Symbol that represents the 5 (inhabited) continents of the world: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania/Australia.

I think in the late 70's or 80's that changed it to 7 continents...
