America - The rebellious teenager who ran away from home
Canada - The teen who stayed at home till she was old enough to be kicked out .

Whoa, lots of people are analyzing my words, and appearently I should make myself more clear.

I do not hate America. I hold a lot of respect for this country. However, the sharp turn to the left disturbs me (in both countries). What I fear for this one is 1.We are on our way to losing our rights as a church (and I know some of you will challenge this and I'm not interested in debating it) and 2.We are on our way to seeing the United States withdraw it's support of Israel. For me, that would lead to my consideration of leaving. And yes, I know Israel isn't the greatest place to live for someone who professes Jesus as my savior and risen Lord. I'm also aware that it's not immune to moral issues.

I didn't post my complete thought, so let me try this again. The direction the two countries have taken worrys me, especially since late 2003. And if it continues there might not be an advantage to being here, rather than there.

I would say that being in Israel brings up a whole bunch of other objections and issues to think over deeply, like how they treat the Arab populations surrounding them, how the governments run the country, why the country exists at all, and stuff like that.

Wow, allot of stuff said!

I live at the Port Huron, Sarnia border to Canada.
All the Canadians that I talk to while in my country are the nicest people.

If I go to there country it is another story.
They treat us Americans as if we are arrogant and more or less tell us to go back to the states and stay there.
Not all of them but some of the areas further in.
I see Canada as a Socialistic country. You can not say any things in the pupit against gays.

As an American. I think we live in the best country to this day.
We are heading right down the track of destruction. Confused

WE are a REPUBLIC! NOT a Democracy. That is where I think we 1st went wrong.
Democracy
Legalistic
Socialistic
Communism
Government has to much responsibility!
It needs to get it's little sticky fingers out of the pockets of the people.
Churches and organizations should be in control of helping people not the government.

Israel is a very Liberal country with allot of problems.
They will always be at war against the Arabs.
For they are the other half of Abraham's seed. Ishmael. His people are the Arabs. I believe this is where the Anti-christ will come out of.
But that is another topic. But lets you know why I think there is a war/tension between the countrys.

I think Canada accepts it's Englishness more then Americans ever have. In terms of immigration and citizanship they recognize that people shouldn't be forced to choose one nationality over another. Because my mum is Canadian I am a Canadian citizan and Canada recognizes both my American and Canadian citizanship. However here in the States I am American plain and simple.

Besides Canada has the one thing that most cities here in the States don't have and that's Tim Horton's and to me that's all that counts. Very Happy
