No, you are a MEMBER of the UN, you ARE the US… come on “N” and “S” don’t even look alike.
And I thought our education system needed help.
no, we ARE the UN. the rest of you are just “members” becasue we kinda like you. keep pushing your luck Canada, and it’s straight to time out. you can’t spell UN without the U, the N is to let you know the we own them. why do you think it’s called “UNITED NATIONS”? because we the “UNITED STATES” own it. they could as easily had named it “legion of nations for peace” or the “peace nations legion for of” or even the “nation for peace of legion”? huh!? Yeah thats what i thought. it’s all part of our all knowing and all seeing governments plan to conquer the entire planet. what would we name it after we take control? how about the United Planet Earth? the good old U.P.E.
p.s. i hope you thicker headed people know it’s all in good fun, you can save your hand strength for the porn.

If we are talking about financial success as he was, yes it is.
If we are talking quality of life it is only a small component. I put my quality of life here in the US higher than my counterparts in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.
The only country that offers similar quality of life is Canada.[/quote]
Obviously, you’ve never been to scandinavia
PS - I’ll take this opportunity to thank you all for some great jokes. They will be translated and added to my swede joke repetoire

Nope. I have been to Germany, Luxembourg, France and Belgium.
Nice places but things are not as nice as they are in America (and Canada).
Air conditioning seems rare in Europe, refrigerators are tiny, hard to find good cuts of meat and a million other small things that add up.
Of course Europe has a more sensible approach to vacations, driving and other things.
You’re definitly right about the taxes. It’s the price for government health care, and general salary equity. I don’t think anybody makes less then 15$ pr hour.
Anyway, I think everybody gets irritated about some little things when they go to foreign countries. I, for one, almost went mad, not finding a suitable brush for doing the dishes while I lived in spain. Sponges is NOT for doing the dishes damnitt!!!

Canada’s political system is a parliamentary government. We still have the queen on our coins, some of which are $1 & $2. We use the metric system.
We tend to think we are smarter than Americans because we know more about them than they know about their neighbors to the north. This is because all we do is watch American television. Canadians know nothing about their neighbors to the north, because they make even worse television than we make.
We don’t all speak French, or say aboot. We all say eh. Every one last one of us. All our polish jokes are replaced with newfie jokes.
While its questionable to say we have better beer, we brew our beer at a stronger percentage of alcohol. Our hobbies are watching Americans getting really drunk while drinking Canadian Budweiser.[/quote]
Claiming the invasion of Iraq was illegal is a poor argument. You may not agree with the reasons for it, but to claim it is illegal is incorrect.[/quote]
the bum who lives on the street here is far better of than the bum who lives on the streets of soo many countries. so if i had to be a bum somewhere it would either be here, or amsterdam with their squatters policy i wouldnt be homeless long.[/quote]
How can a smelly tramp with no money, no clothes (bar the rags on his back), no home, no job or a means of getting one and with the added struggle of alcoholism or what not, be better off on the streets of the US than on the streets of any other country??? Man that’s laughable…
P.S. please no third world countries as possible examples
I well believe it. My sisters lived in OZ for a year and said the lifestyle over there was fantastic and the Aussie attitude was great. My brother is currently living in Canada and says the Canadians are exceptionally nice people and the standard of living is great. Same goes for all the Scandinavian countries.
One aspect that always comes out when people travel abroad is the attitude of the natives; this seems to be the chief determining factor of a county’s influence on the foreign visitor. Couple this with a high standard of living and you are on to a winner

[/quote] The U.S and 50 other nations on october 24 1949. started the U.N. as a preadasessor to The Leauge of Nations. now correct me if I’m wrong but cannada did not exist as a seprate entity from the UK untill 1982. so canada did not start the U.N. and wasnt even a part of the UN untill
1989.Viola. also look where the UN’s Headquarters is.
