PyROTech Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 us economy is in the toilet, dont let governement spending fool you into thinking that its a plus when the economy will naturally go back to previous point where the spending didnt really do anything. Also yer debt, you planning on ever paying it off??????????????????????????????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROTech Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 the canadian dollar has been going up and up. When us does bad canadain dollar good. B/c there compared. Bad for our exports but good for our imports. So with that logic i guess soon the us economy will be so bad that they will start to export things?

freeskier8585 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 dude comparing the US to canada isnt realistic, sorry-- you dont have to maintain a large army, navy or airforce (although your airforce is nice) (i think yoru navy had 5 crusiers at one point.. no carriers)-- you have socialized alot more than we have...and you pay higher taxes-- you have less people, differnt industries and just a differnet life style-- we arnt better than you and you arnt better than us, were differnt, reconize this fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROTech Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 never said anything about anyone being better than anyone else period. Not comparing since we are two different economies. Yes we have less people, and we dont need an army like the US has b/c we dont like to make enemies "in the sense that we would rather take the step of solving the problem than attacking someone else"The thing i was comparing is how the dollar is valued. against the green back as most currencies are since you usually pick a stable and high value economy to compare currencies. people say example " the canadian dollar is worth 74cents us" thats what comparision i was talking about.Picking a governemnt is based on what economic policy the government will take "in terms of economy not the war". May it be reducing taxes, increasing government spending, changing interest rates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeskier8585 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 you dont have an army becuase you have us, and we dont make good beer and women and ski mtns so we have you, its like the big shark and the little fish that follows him...any ways, yea our dollar is in decline, but we cnat be growing all the time, well come back youll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROTech Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 we dont have a sizable army not b/c we have you, b/c there is no need and for the size of our population and land its not economically sound to support defence of all our borders. Also you have mountains and sking just like we do as well a fine women. But agreed we have better bear "just b/c it contains more alcohol %". And yes the economy will return to a better postion and then decline once more "b. cycle". But the time it takes the economy to return to full capacity is dependent on gov policy.

freeskier8585 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 i still contend that the reason you dont need a big military is becasue of us, even small euro countries have bigger mils than you guys, sucks for them, you can pass the savings on... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyROTech Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 ya, small countries. Look at the size of land we have for our pop. If we dont invade other countries why need a big military? Canada didnt have cold war like US did, in fact the whole idea of having so many nuclear weapons pointed at the states would scare canadians b/c if you were nuked we are way to close!

Granted you did help! Ever seen the movie Candian Bacon? Nuff said!BLAME CANADA!Isn't Canada the place were it's citizens have to pay out their a$$ for medications and wait 10years for a freggin organ donation?

At least its not issue of money. and at least im sure nobody was killed because there is some cholesterol junkie who violated his own body and now needs replacement. with an attitude "if that 3rd world poor jerk dies, who cares? I paid for it......"and BTW: lots of canadians died saving Europe. They ran up the beach in Normandy. Along with Americans and British.And please, i wont discuss numbers of dead people.

I know that Canadians died while fighting on Juno Beach and we all know that the US didn't single handedly save the world! The fact is though, if it wasn't for the US, Hitler may not have been stopped. Edited August 12, 2004 by gdogg16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeskier8585 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 the point is that regardless if you invade people will still hate you, spain set about 400 troops to iraq, look what happened, and there are candians on the ground in iraq if im correct, so you do need us to help you out ..... or vice versa...
