So what do you guys think of this Obama = Hitler thing in the news lately?

I actually find it quite funny.



The American people's honeymoon with the president seems to be over.

One second they're worshiping him like a God, and the next second they're likening him to the worst criminal of the 20th Century.

Well, that's what happens when you put your trust and hope in an imperfect man.

Kim Jong-il Is more like Hitler. Constantly ignoring threats from other countries for example.

The right-wing extremists in America worry me quite a lot. They seem to refuse to lose a fight, and get dirty.

then it is the time to have a women president maybe a younger one

Well, it's stupid, and makes me very happy not to live in the US. Also, everyone who keeps comparing him to hitler (other than comparing his huge popularity with hitler's) is freaking braindead.

i never liked him, but it wasnt his fault that the economy collapsed on him.

agreed, i didnt like him that much either, but mccain was just gonna be another bush for 8 years.

You know, I think McCain would have won if it wasn't for the previous Bush years.

i agree, if there was no such thing as bush the economy would still be going, but it would collapse in about 2 years. maybe 12-21-2012.

Could you stop with the Armageddon date? You want to know something that makes me think that the apocalypse date is stupid? It was the last calendar the Mayans were able to print before they were killed off by disease and Spanish Conquistadors.

It's sign!!!!!!

no Armageddon means mount Meggido which is a actual place in the middle est and in the plain near mount meggido there was the first documented battle ( i heard this on a history channel i think )

The first documented battle was from some cave paintings, most likely.

no this battle wasn't a painting

he means recoded battle

And yet it's the people that voted for him are saying this now along with the right-wing extremists. Don't be so... quick to judge one side and dismiss the others' faults.

But I'll concede; these days I find myself agreeing with the left more and more. I just don't like their irrational want for bipartisanship - it's clear that the right won't agree with anything they do.

why dont the americans want national health care i mean why should one group of people have a basic nessecity and and another group be denied it basically it just rascism

america's health care system should be like our NHS everyone who is a legal citizen gets free health care and its paid through taxes but obviously uneccesary stuff like breast implants and stuff you have to pay for

yeh but hte americans are tax dodgers thats why they wanted indepedence in the first place. and they think the nhs is crap which is untrue its not great but its not bad either its just theyre and if they want they can still pay for private i think barack obama is right giving them free health care

NHS is great not the fastest but i get all the drugs and treatments i need in realativly clean conditions

yeh but i have private health care anyway i think i dont know i used to

*gets some popcorn, a chair and waits for alka to incinerate josh and lee*

And on topic, we have a national healthcare system too. It's sometimes slow, but it gets the job done. And if you dont take our lack of hospital beds into account, it's quite good.

this may be comunistical but why should one group of people be treated better just because they have more money its disgusting the americans actually have a lower life expectancy because of it and when someone does somthing about they get all up themselves saying how they dont want tax increase well guess what free healthcare is good get used to it

actually, i hate to say it, but privatized health care would be a better system. public health care just doesn't work, trust me

doesnt canada have great health care though

no

then why do all the americans go to canada for drugs or something

because there's a miconception that canada ha good health care. health care is oe of our largest problems at the moment. there's too many people needing/wanting attention, and too few to give it. hospitals are constantly closing. wait times are attrocious, you're lucky to get into out patients in 6 hours. most the time you wait 8-12 depending on which province you go to

thats prob because canada is so big and you dont have enough people to poulate it properly so there are gonna be shortages of skilled people you need to do what the australian do and only let in skilled peeps but then again canada isnt as nice as australia

well, it's not really the land mass that's the issue, because people live in clusters for the most part here. it's the lack of doctors and nurses, and on top of that, the lack of GOOD doctors and nurses

that would suck, who would want to be a doctor in canada?

thats kinda the point i was tryin to make

yeah, nobody. take my uncle for example. he's canadian, but he's a med tech...that works in the states

well its not very nice in canada in the winter. its dark most of the day

no it's not

isnt it ah well wrong again i guess

so many misconceptions about canada. i mean sure the yukon has long nights, but at worst in canada, the lights og out at 5 and are up at 6. but that's only really around christmas

We're covered in darkness in the winter. The sun comes out late, and goes down early. Like up 8:00-9:00 and down 14:00. And when it's up, we dont get alot of sunlight because of the thick cloud cover. Only time we see it is when there's a hole.

not sure what you mean but here it gets dark at 4 in the afternoon in the winter

Ooga booga! LOL!

Sorry for the inactivity, I will be getting an internet connexion very soon. And my birthday falls on labor day!

YAY TOA!!! I've been waiting forever for you to come on because I have stuff for you!!!

Hmm, you're in the UK... You dont use the same system as we do. The sun goes up 8 in the morning, and goes down 4 in the afternoon/noon/ whatever you call it...

well prob not 4 but its really dark by about 5.30 so prob about 4.30
