Is it moral for our governments to impose poverty on us?

Greatest I am

US in 1950 and Canada in 1950 were similar.  A long time ago.  We both still oppressed the First Nations, but the Canada didn't have any African-Americans to torture.

True, and that made a world of a difference.

It made us a curt above. Polite but deadly.

You just deadly.

We could have loaned you some African-Americans, but they don't do well in cold.  And taught you Jim Crow … but no ….

I sure hope that was sarcasm...

I had to consider this tripe for a while and whether to reply, but I dislike leaving such nonsense unchallenged.  That how such drivel gains acceptability.

No one does well in the cold when their food is meager and the shelters barely able to retain heat and little warmth is available from lack of fuel.  You can even freeze to death in Alabama, BTW.

Yes, sarcasm.  Directed at holier than though Canadians.

How dare you criticize Canadians?  They are admired throughout the world.  In fact, the safest claim to make overseas is that you are "Canadian".  If I ever traveled overseas, I would wear a T shirt that said "Don't Blame Me - I'm Canadian".  And practice saying "hey" like they do.

Yes.  I like Canadians better than my own nation.  But that is because I know Americans all too well.  If the Canadians are relatively unknown to me, that is too their advantage.  Eh?

Breaking news!  Trump just tweeted that the US should annex Canada.  He said "They have all the ice and we will need that as South Africa is on fire".  Apparently, that's why he wanted Greenland.

Old joke from 1992.  They said that about Ross Perot.  Another businessman.  Like most primates, uneasy lies the alpha male crown.

Yeah, I figured maybe he wanted Greenland so he'd have some place for his "daughter" and her family to hole up once the mainland USA is a desert. Maybe that's why he wants Canada, too.

As the climate warms, Canada is going to be prime agricultural territory.  What happens when they tell us Americans are illegal aliens?  Will that stop us any more than the Central Americans moving here today?

If I was 20, I would move to Canada (legally while I still could) and get naturalized.  And wait....

I bet on the 1969 lottery.  They were drafting 1 year's numbers from 3 years of us 18-20 year olds.  I dropped my college deferment.  My number came up way too high to be called.  But had my number been low, I wouldn't served.  It was a stupid war.  Even my Republican Grandparents knew it..

Lucky you.  Some poor Black bastard was sent in your place.  You know that is how the draft really worked.  Should have sent all the White college students first.

Yes, a stupid war by an evil President.
