It's a PDF file, though.

By the way, the US placed 12th on the list, but I've realized that Americans in reality are anything BUT a sexual people.

You need money to go out and I'm starting a new career and not open to doing that. Plus, just meeting people is sort of hard in a new town and such. In Korea, it's not hard to meet people in public places and such and I'm sure many will attest to that.

I also don't like to hook up with women in bars and stuff in the US, and the stories of crazy SoCal women messing up men's lives are legendary. But hey, this is just me.

In addition, SoCal is NOT the rest of the US and conditions in other parts such as say, Oklahoma and Missouri are probably worse.

I'm all for being oppressed. I have student loans that are fucking killing me.

Oh yes and don't even oppress me. Oppress my ancestors. Call me some names at school (which happened anyways!!) and then give me free stuff.

Come on, it's only fair.

*beep* does Canada have a stupid government.

hmm..... I can't IMAGINE it had anything to do with SARS....

no.

NOR anything to do with the 1 case of mad cow.

I remember reading about this on the cbc dot com a while ago. They were quite quick to point that out.

and really, of course it make sense...it doesn't have ANYTHING to do with jean.

Yay! Canadians woo hoo!! How about that eh? Canadians are at least no#2 in Korea! What a coup for Canadians. Where else in the world are Canadians in such demand, just for being Canadians, other than good old Korea?!

Maybe not food, but everything else sure will kill your cash flow. Back home I had to have a car. (it is impossible to live in rural Canada if you don't have a car) That means all the expenses that go with owning and operating a car. (gas,oil, tires, insurance, drivers license, repairs, parts, tax on the gas, tax on the oil, tax on the tires, tax tax tax taxxxxxxxxx)
GST, PST, FST , income tax
I may gripe about Korea, but I can sure save money here.

Then there are all the extra fees you have to pay, deductables, user fees and on and on. Canada is a great place to live if you have money, and I mean LOTS of f****ng money.

Then there is the freakin' government tax audit guy who come and send you nasty letters saying things like:

"We have re-assessed your tax return for the previous year and we have decided that you now owe us an extra $700 in tax + interest"

WTF??? Out of the blue I get this letter, and already I owe interest??

Yeah, CAnada is a great place to be "From".

Cheers

PS: I do miss the place, I don't miss all the taxes and gov't BS.

I get a peaceful living in Canada. Nice, clean, and quiet.

I sure paid for it. I had a university degree but my native buddy with the same qualifications (or less) got the job over me because of my appearance.

That is a crime in writing, you know, choosing one person over another based on their appearance, or race, or age, or sexuality, etc etc.

In Canada it's nice and legal, and they attach a vacuum to my wallet to boot.

What's next? They attach a device to my nose for Jean Chretien's new 'Oxygen Tax'.

Members of the U. N. finally got bored with �This Hour Has 22 Minutes� (and one long-in-the-tooth joke) and then saw the modern version of �Degrassi Jr. High� and immediately downgraded the country. The death of Billy Van (R. I. P.) further brought it down a point. Perhaps bringing back �You Can�t Do That On Television� might bring it up in ranking?

Food for thought,

Joe
