petros, by the flag you are displaying you are nothing but a G*****n Greek.

And you have the nerve to lecture me about being Canadian!

I was back in Hungary in 2007, and found that it is now remarkably like Canada.

Multi-party squabbling. Political corruption. Greed. Blaming others. Unrestricted abortion. Raging homosexuality. Pornography running rampant. Covert anti-religionism. Unionized teachers. Debasing of history.
Like I said. An ingrateful ****ing bastard who took adavantage of our ancestors who built this nation with their blood, sweat, and tears while you got a free ride to success but now you have to audacity to say you shouldn't have to pay back what you took? **** you.

petros, congratulations for your speed to change the flag you displayed.

It only reveals that you are exactly what I said in my previous post.

And unlike you, I managed to convey what I needed to say without personal insults and thinly veiled profanity.

BTW, I am willing to bet that I shed quite a bit more blood sweat and tears than you.

SirJosephPorter, once again displayed his ignorance by writng:

"Back to Hungary? Not likely, there is no comparison between Canada and Hungary. Now, on to USA is possible, but due to some reason he doesn't want to emigrate to USA (even though he likes just about everything about USA)."

Only and uninformed person coul say that.

Hungary is like Canada, really? Let us look into that.

According to UN Human development Index, Canada is the fourth best place in the world to live, has the fourth highest quality of life in the world (behind Norway, Australia and Iceland). By comparison, Hungary ranks 43rd in the world.

Statistics | Human Development Reports (HDR) | United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

As for per capita income, Canada ranks 13 in the world, at 38025 $ per person. Hungary ranks 44th in the world, with a per capita income of 18567 $ (less than half that of Canada).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

Hungary like Canada indeed.

But it is gratifying to know that Hungary has got away from the puritanical ways (in which Poland still seems to be mired) and is more accepting of abortion, homosexuality, pornography etc. these days.

Do you or do you not complain about this country and all the social programs that you take advatage of yet bitch like 12 year old girl over more than any other poster in the forums? The door is wide open to leave if you don't like having to repay your debt to Canada. I'd much much rather have a Palestinian who appreciates what has been done for him on the backs of others than an ingrateful prick who has nothing good to say about the land and people that gave him a life of ease.

SirJosephPorter, in his inimitable way to change the subject quoted two links, which not even remotely were mentioned in my post.

petros, once again congratulations for the speedy change of your Greek flag to a sudden Canadian one. Why don't YOU emigrate to the promised land of Palestine?

You made the outrageous claim that Hungary is like Canada, YJ. I didn't.

SirJosephPorter, there was nothing outrageous about it.

I walked on the streets, and except for the language, it was just like Canada. The stores. The vehicles. The clothes people wore.

On closer examination the prices as compared to earnings. And all the other things I mentioned in my precvious post.

Since you weren't there you have no claim that my post was outrageous, but from you, it is par for the course.

petros, my "life of ease" included working in the bush, Working underground, working on a filthy factory floor, until I got myself out of it and said good-bye forever to the bloodsucking unions.

Not only USA, but Canadian economy also would collapse without the inflow if immigrants. And Harper is aware of this. He may be a right wing ideologue, but he is not stupid. He has not made any significant reductions to immigration quota and rightly so.

While conservatives in USA are viciously anti-immigration (and in the process, they end up alienating the legal Hispanic voters big time), their policy is more sensible in Canada.

Anti-immigration rhetoric is a knee jerk reaction to acts of terrorism. But anti-immigration policy is not realistic.

A collapse? Hardly. Those adaptable flexible people in business would carry on. They can do anything, they are masters of the universe I thought. Being called some kind of deluded Luddite is slightly better than being smeared as a racist I guess. The current mantra is we need immigrants now for labour shortages in the future.

Immigration is just another govt policy that needs tweaking from time to time and with unemployment pushing 8% doing some tweaking here might not hurt. Labour needs a break in the country.

Don't forget, in the 1980s when immigration levels were increased to over 200,000 there was no vote and very little discussion about it. The elites in their wisdom simply decided it was good for the country and implemented the policy.

It is still somewhat better in Canada, mainly because we have not fallen victim to the Marxist/Socialist/Liberal disease that grabbed hold of Europe, including the former Soviet Block with the possible and honourable exception of Poland.

Funny, I met a young educated Hungarian recently and he said he left because the govt was so corrupt he couldn't get ahead like many other people.

He also asked my why couples don't seem to kiss much in Vancouver in public. He said Vancouver looked odd that way. I don't think Vancouver has raging homosexulaity.

He spoke great English too.

Not sure of the connection to the topic or not, but as long as Hungary stays away from the Euro there is no reason for it not to be like Canada long into the future. Except for language it would be hard to tell the difference even between it and the U.S. or Canada. The people were very friendly there.

Poor poor you. Built yourself up on something layed out for by others who did far more than you and paved the way for you with their blood. Would you have prefered to have worked in the industry that gave you a comfortable start and a new life before the unions? Everything you have today is because those CANADIAN men and women gave their lives and suffered immensly and fought for YOUR rights that you abuse and feel other's don't deserve.

Yeah those bloodsuckers, they owe you **** all but YOU owe them everything you have.

Why would a person want to listen to an ex native about a country when there's a resident expert handy who knows everything about everything, even though he possibly has never been to Hungary?????????? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sorry YJ, but the statistics don't agree with your assertion that Hungary is just like Canada.

OK, maybe it was an exaggeration to say that Canada's economy will collapse. However, ti will be seriously inconvenienced. Most of the immigrants who come to Canada are professionals. Doctors, engineers, scientists etc. It is very expensive to train them locally, we get them ready made from third world countries.

Immigrants bring in skills much in demand in Canada. Without those skills, Canada will be at a disadvantage.
