| The only Americans I know who have had issues with Canadians are conservatives who mouth off about their politics. Living in Canada for four years, I never felt any anti-Americanism, and that was in the lefty heartland of Quebec. |

That's it! That's the reason Canadians are so popular here! We both dislikes Americans. Actually now that I think about it, is there any country that doesn't dislike America? So what if they crashed the world economy with their Republican voodoo economics, supported dictators in the Middle East, started several wars with non-aggressive countries using cooked-up evidence, prevented the Kyoto Protocol from saving us from global warming, and pissed-off every Canadian within 30 km of the border by treating them like illegal immigrants every time they come over to the states to buy a couple T-shirts at the local Target? I mean, really, when you think about it, what's not to love about America?
And, Toronto, Vancouver, and Eastern Canada, well add those together and you pretty much got most of Canada. |
VD you're a fool. Canadians get blasted on here as being the WORST expat in terms of getting along with, and for good reason. Funny enough, you seem to fit in with the description of most of them. That inferior complex runs deep in Canada, eh? |
Apparently Dodge7 can't recognize when someone is mocking another for their stupid comment.

That was the only point I was trying to make. With time, nurses (and other professionals) climb a career ladder. Their experience makes them more desirable and employable.
Compare that with TEFL and you will find the opposite is the case. |

True, but you're still extremely limited with an associate's degree as a nurse, yet many floor nurses never advance beyond that. I just don't see how a job requiring a two year degree, working odd hours cleaning up other people's bowel movements automatically constitutes high status work (not disagreeing with you in particular here). |

Why apologize? Saudiman just trolled the troll and look at the reaction. I would respond to your over sensitive rant dinosaur, but then I would be stooping to your level and basically going down a few notches in intellect. |

That may be true in certain parts of the world for certain jobs. Also, what kind of career ladder does a high school teacher or university lecturer climb in their own country if they don't want to get into management? |

Stop. Your moral high-ground approach is just humbling me to death. |

| Judging from these posts the answer to the question is unequivocally "YES". |
