LOL! Really Emile, you may have outdone yourself: <<If they were under Russia they would at least have Bibles in their schools!>> I wasnt aware that the Canadian government also makes the wise decision to partition Church and State. What Canadians do in their own education system is no fault of Americans. <<1.) American sanctioned murder of unborn children.>> Abortion is legal in Canada too? Exactly what has the fact that the US sanctions it have to do with the Canadian government sanctioning it? As I remember, we failed to capture Canada in the War of 1812, and have no authority there... At least they as well have the decency to keep such a controversial issue whose opposition is based on dubious religious beliefs out of statute. <<2.) Pornographic Hollywood.>> Canadian authorities can very well control what comes and goes in their country. If sex sells, someone is buying. Why dont you let adults make up their own minds about what they want to watch? <<3.) Perverse and mind twisting network TV.>> See above. Though I will admit that TV is indeed the Great Wasteland, which is why I dont own a TV and dont go out of my way to watch TV. But thats my choice. <<4.) Government schools to warp the minds and souls of their children and destroy their faith.>> Again, this is the Canadian government's fault, not America's. As to schools destroying faith, I dont know what they teach in Canada, but in the States we arent allowed to indoctrinate our children in religion. We do, however, teach them about facts, ie science. Canada though is another matter, and considering rrman, I would not doubt a bit that Canadian schools warp the minds and souls of youngsters. <<5.) Economic slavery.( at least this is one area that probably raises their standard of living.>> Economic slavery? Communism is economic slavery. That is, perhaps more appealing to you, since it gives you much greater leeway to indoctrinate children to believe anything you want, including mysticism. But I digress. If we seek to enslave the world economically, then the blame should be placed on the rest of the world, who seem to be beating down our door to be enslaved. What a joke. Better bone up on economics Emile, you dont seem to grasp the concept of "supply and demand." Instead of being proud of... blahblah. Lets get this straight from the start. I dont know a single CEO of any company in this country that would say he or she is doing it for humanitarian reasons. The world asked for our stuff, we gave it to them. The world asked for us to be the "Leader of the Free World" we did our best. Every time this country acts only in its self interest and passes up some crisis of the hour for others to solve, we are accused of depravity and a lack of leadership (after all, they say, we have a moral duty as the only superpower). When we do act, we are then called imperialists and hypocrites. And all along the nations of the world pull at our coatstrings asking for handouts and asking for us to cover their ass. Well let me tell you Emil Im sick of it, Im sick of people like you and rrman, Im sick of everyone like you. Tell you what, imagine this: the US withdraws back into isolationism. Now dream about what your hellhole paradise would be like.
