Some in U.S. voting with their feet

Many of those interviewed said the idea of moving to Canada had been simmering in the backs of their minds for years, partly as a reaction to what they saw as a rightward drift in the United States and partly as a desire to live in a place they see as more tolerant, pacific and, yes, liberal. But for all, the re-election of Bush was decisive.

...Some are drawn by Canada's more tolerant attitude toward same-sex unions, he said, and there are a surprising number of middle-aged professionals. :tantrum

My favorite was this:
Melanie Redman, 30, assistant director of the Epilepsy Foundation in Seattle, said she had put her Volvo up for sale and hopes to be living in Toronto by the summer.
...because Volvos don't work in Canada. :lmao:

I'm not the first to say it but each one that moves north raises the average I.Q. of both nations.

I know I shouldn't ask you questions because you never reply, but...

Why is it intolerant to cheer for people who are running away to Canada? If anything, THEY'RE the intolerant ones, pouting off like some little child just because they lost. I think we're tolerating them leaving just fine. :yay:

I sense sarcasm, and I agree with you.



It's a disgusting display of intolerance to run fleeing from a country because your boo-boo didn't get elected.

Not to mention a display of cowardice, childishness and spoiled-rotteness.



Good riddance, sez me.

Many people here praise the idea of the liberals running north, I don’t... I don’t praise the idea of putting anyone with a different idea in a different place. Some of it is some isn’t... And vrai: I do agree to some extent, no one should run away from the problems, especially in a fine country like this one, where you can change the problems in civil ways.

As many of you were half way sarcastic with your comments mine was also halfway sarcastic... Sorry I didn’t reply instantly, late night last night and then the electrician woke me up early this morning so I was getting a bit of sleep before my next class...

Nobody put them in a different place - they put themselves in a different place. Unless you can cite instances of someone physically packing up a liberal and transporting them to Canada against their will.

But that's the problem - they tried to change things in civil ways and they were outvoted. So now, rather than bowing to the majority, they go live in another country.

And God Bless America, I say. Because there are a lot of countries where, if you don't like the way the government is run, you can't just move away. Here, you're free to come and go as you please.

So doing it politically, or making it so unbearable for them isn’t?

It must not be too unbearable here or Cubans, Mexicans, Middle Easterners and Africans wouldn't be risking their lives to get here and make a life.

For every liberal who ships themselves over the border to Canada, there are about 100 people from other countries who would gladly take their place in the good ol' USofA.

The only one who made it unbearable for them was themselves... with their fragile, pessimism driven, over inflated egos.

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership exceeding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the ##### on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over
oh song
