sheesh!
You're guys are so childishly sensitive and are taking this so personal - it's ambarrassing! This isn't about YOU as individuals (but it is quickly becoming that way!) I will say that your disposition and anger and inability to look objectively at issues is exactly the kind of problem that I was describing about the culture in Canada. You would think that an ex jw would be better able to see truth and reject bullshit.
Tell ya what - here's a good statistic: If Canada is SUCH a great place to live... then per capita, which country are people immigrating to? USA to Canada... or Canada to USA?
God... you guys! this is rediculous!
203rd Street and 87th Avenue Langley BC... my kid lived with my ex on that road for 2 years. The average house is about 400,000.00 bucks. That ain't ghetto! Nice neighborhood. There are horses grazing in the feild outside his house. There are 12 houses on that street. My sixteen year old kid came home one day with a Safeway bag full of pot. I asked him where he got it... 8 of the 12 homes on THAT road less than a quarter mile long were growing pot. Let's see... if my math is correct.... that's 2 out of 3 houses in that neighborhood. Hell, you can see the plants from the road. My kid raided some yards on the way home. There was so much there... nobody missed it.
But you guys go ahead... your ostrich position suits you well.
I'm sick of this discussion. There is a reason why I left Canada... listening to you guys just makes it all that much easier.
You can go right ahead and sit there in your depressed economy, your culture, your 'world'. I would never, EVER (!!!) have the opportunities and prosperity in Canada that I do here in the USA.
And THAT (!!!) is very sad to say...
I AM...... NOdenial .... you can HAVE Canada! I'm done with it!
