    Yep, America's a crazy place, isn't it? It always makes me feel rather content with our own government and politicians, when you compare it with those on the other side of the Atlantic.

    Also, the obsession some American politicians have with guns is rather strange.. and scary

    Indeed, which is one of the reason's I'm so happy to be Canadian. I dunno how it works exactly, maybe some one like @pedro3131 can clear this up because he's older than I am. But I assume it's something like once you get to age 25 you're not covered by your parent's insurance or anything like that. So as some one who is approaching the age of 25, if I were an American, paying for and obtaining health insurance is something I would have to start worrying about. Something I don't have the time to worry about or the money to afford. But as a Canadian it's simply a non issue and thank the various deities for that.

    Today in the New York Times there was an article about how Romney assualted a kid in prep school on accounts of being supposedly homosexual.

    I am pretty sure all the Commonwealth countries health systems are free, due to that in New Zealand health care is also free.

    And that is why Canada is far superior to the US.

    I believe that this is the roughly correct, (Not 100%) but it is when you stop being a dependent of your parents, which is around twenty-five, excluding special circumstances.

    Erm, why are we democrats having primaries... when Obama is running for re-election.

    Also the whole " Obama only is for gay marriage for votes " is a retarded idea. Republicans hate gays and democrats are for gays. So the gays will proably planning on voting for Obama since Romney is against gays....

    A) It's how the American election system works. You might want to look it up sometimes. B) I personally believe that Obama announced his support for gay marriage now for votes. Whether or not he supported it previously is another story.

    Also most of them have the largest and comfiest closets possible, they have everything you need because they're designed for extended stays. Seriously have you ever seen Rick Santorum's closet? It comes complete with a mini fridge, microwave, bed and a bathroom. You could stay in that place for years.

    Why are they saying Socialism is a bad thing?

    This time, America's just complaining about every little thing. People shout that he's "Forcing people to have healthcare."

    So fucking what?

    These people would refuse the cure for Cancer if it meant they could complain about something Obama's doing.
