    I want to move to Vancouver, Canada from Chicago, USA...

    Healthcare is cheap, but not free in BC or AB: http://www.healthservices.gov.bc.ca/msp/infoben/premium.html Healthcare is "free" in other provinces, like SK: http://www.health.gov.sk.ca/ps_coverage_start_pg.html By "free", it means Saskatchewan's provincial income tax is higher than BC...

    Do you think China is becoming too powerful?

    Can you elaborate about key industry, unbalanced conflict between branches of government and fighting between industry? Well.. you kinda have one of two choices: overnight capitalism or gradual capitalism - there isn't really anything in-between. I guess it's a matter of preference. What...

    Japan and its (lack of?) remorse over WW2

    Nobody claims Japan to be the same country it was in WWII. Not everybody (only the ******ed and unreasonable ones) will demand Japan "make good" on past wrongs. Generally speaking, the past is not even a consideration in today's generation of Chinese or Koreans. China's threat to veto...

    weak vocabulary / missing key phrase (banking)

    The banks should offer it though, because doing yourself creates repetition of effort and wastes time If I understand you correctly, this is something you wish to do for the sake of your business. That is, not a requirement of some heavily regulated industry or a special arrangement whereby...

    Simply Accounting, MYOB, and Quickbooks are some off the shelf small business accounting packages available at amazon.com, Staples, or Office Depot.

    weak vocabulary / missing key phrase (banking)

    Lawyers and accountants and some other professional service providers obtain a retainer from their clients. In (Canadian) accounting speak, retainers and other customer's deposits are short term liabilities of a similar class though arising from a different nature to accounts payable and...

    Bush says US is in Iraq because of attacks on US

    Exactly! We can't go second guessing how the Iraqi's will react. People think in twisted ways and not always logical. We can't possibly understand what they think about or how they will react. The fact that there has not been a single terrorist attack on American soil, not even one in all...

    Italian judge orders arrest of 13 CIA agents for kidnapping terrorist suspect

    No. Absolutely not. The rest of the world simply does not have the economic or military influence to infringe upon American sovereignty. America may see itself as the land of the free, but the rest of the world will regard it as the home of the hypocrites.

    Bush says US is in Iraq because of attacks on US

    Kurdish territory is inside Iraq's sovereign borders. RAF, USAF, or ET, Saddam has no excuse for allowing 9/11 to happen.

    Cities may take your homes

    Absolutely! When government takes your property against your will and gives it to a state company, we call this China. When government takes your property against your will and gives it to a private company, we call this freedom, democracy, and the American way. :D

    Should the US begin to plan on a withdrawal from Iraq?

    Absolutely NOT!! We need to crush the terrorists or they will strike again. If we had dealt with the first Gulf War properly instead of these stupid no-fly zones and containment ideas, 9/11 would never have happened. No police force can replace a professional ARMY. This is not a police...

    Do you think grades are sometimes given out because of reputation?

    Did the teacher ever explain or detail exactly how grades would be awareded? Many things are possible. I remember in grade 10 math, anyone scoring more than 10% higher on their final was graded exclusively on the final exam. In grade 11 physics we had to tell the teacher no later than 1 week...
