Why is it that high achieving Canadians emigrate to America, but only low achieving Americans emigrate to Canada

Interesting...

As for american might....
Prove it. Go against someone who will actually give you a fight, not some murchants in the street. Why don't you go post this on a Pro-Chinese website. They have more people in their army than you have citizens. Go on. Post away, oh, might ones.

We'll just sit back and watch the show. It won't be a long show, but hey, it'll be a good one.

The bigger they are....

In physics it is known that for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction, just as fast as it shall grow, it shall tumble.

I'm checking some of the Chinese sites, takes a while to translate, but I'm still not seeing any americans posting to kick there ass yet.....

As I have no connection to the American military (and don't even know if I can enlist, as a foreigner), I question why you would direct this challenge at me.

I can say, however, that sheer manpower is not sufficient to win a conflict. The Chinese have older, less sophisticated technology than the Americans. They are also limited by their ability to transport large numbers of troops to the theatre of war. Certainly, they could defend against an invasion of the mainland, but their offensive abilities are not nearly up to America's level.

Most Americans are conservatives. Thus, the Republican Party has a future.

America has millions of young men within the draft age range. Manpower is merely a political issue. When push comes to shove, it will be there for them.

I agree that the current situation is not sustainable; however, there is a substantial amount of discretionary spending built into the federal budget. Again, this is a political issue: WHEN America is forced to curtail her spending, she will end handouts to the least productive (medicare, medicaid, social security, welfare) in order to raise or maintain military expenditures. And this is the way it should be.

Michaelredeagle please dont compare Red China to the USA. Our tech. is the best in the world. Did you ever hear the sorty of how 50 Spanish conquistadors defeated 50,000 Inca's. They killed 6,00 Inca's and not one Spainard died. Much would be the same with China.

Like I said earlier you must have worked for a low budget company in the states not to have full coverage. I have never even heard of that. By the way I dont even think you live in Canada. You live in trailer out west and try to be like your hero Ward Churchill. Try the other Churchill. Sir Winston Churchill for he is a true hero!

Most Americans who work for a living resent paying taxes to support those who do not.

In Canada, the leeches are tolerated, which is one of the biggest problems I saw when I grew up there. When I walked down an alley and saw drug addicts with government-subsidized "clean needles" sticking out of their arms, I knew it was time to move someplace where personal responsibility is a core value.

Yeah, I hate those friggin taxes to support the social leeches. Who needs em? I mean hey, those stupid poor people should just go out and get a damn job!

And if they're sick? Well I figure either they're faking it to get unemployment insurance, or it's just that God is punishing them, so who are we to ease the suffering?

And if they're disabled? We don't need those damn handicaps polluting our gene pool anyway, just let em die off.

And what about old people? What good do they do anyway? When they're too old to work, they should just politely go away, then we wouldn't have to carry their asses for 20 years or so.

And if they've lost their job, and they're looking for another one? Yeah, sure it would be nice if they could have a little bit of income in the interim so they don't lose their house and have to live on the street, decreasing their chances of finding another job. But I don't want it to be MY money that pays for that! Let the pinkies pay for it!

But hey, that's just what I think.
