Americans Flock To Canada's Immagration Site...

And I still don't deny that America has all these things, I never did, but the fact still remains that so do other countries. Scientists aren't born and bred in America only, and neither are government members who want to better the lives of people and the community.

It would be foolish of anyone to boast such a thing about their country, as if they're the only country willing to do these kinds of things. I congratulate America on their achievements in whatever field you want to throw into the mix, but please broaden your perspective on the rest of the world.

And you can't just state that "I really find it funny that you don’t see Americans going to other countries to get their education", that's just... silly.

except for uhh japan

except for uhh japan

I've known of some foreign exchange Americans in me time. My ol' teacher was one of em.

By having "thrown out all logic and reason", you mean disagreeing with you. Check your ego, please. You do not have all the answers, you are not always correct. Just because you say something does not mean it is true.

Even though he didn't even argue with you? Makes sense...

I strongly recommend that you don't try to order moderators to lock a topic just because you are finished with it. There is nothing wrong with a debate. If it goes too far, THEN it will be locked. And not until.

The hell? Americans don't go overseas to get an education? Bull****. America has one of the worst and weakest eductational systems in the world. THAT'S why many Americans leave the country to go study.

Take Oxford University in England for example.

DL, next time do some research or have actual knowledge of what you're talking about before you slap everyone in the face with cow feces, okay?

No. They get an education outside the US because they choose to do so. I don't know why everyone always has to tie their own opinions onto any action that is taken.

People HAVE immigrated to the US for a better education by the way.

Japan is the Leader in Technology, not us.

a) Your own so called, "logic and reasons" have no facts supporting them. Usually, reasons are backed up by facts. You present none.

b) I talked to an American YESTERDAY who is attending my University in Canada. You are right though, you certainly don't see them.

c) Japan is has a pretty impressive Technology scene, where do you think nearly all of your hardware is manufactured?

d) Maybe you should research some other countries. America has social programs, yes, but so does every other country, and I am almost certain that Canada's social policies are better than America's. Something that would have to be debated on an issue-to-issue basis, mind you. (So maybe you should name 5 issues to talk about)

e) Nearly everyone in this topic has said something intelligent. But I am not sure what "fight" you are talking about. This is just a discussion.

f) My translation: "I want the last word, so lock this topic. kthxbye."

My words echo that of Kritter's: Do some research on some other countries, I suggest this website: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/eco_gdp_cap It is very useful. You might be able to back up some of your claims, and disprove some of your other ones. America is not the only Democracy, Dark Luigi, you seem to think every other country is like a third world country or something... you have a very distorted view of the world.

I agree. Full stop.
