What if you're buddhist? Buddhist's don't necessarily get jolly off of suffering, but they accept that life is suffering and their only freedom or cessation from the suffering is to achieve Nirvana.

Putting crazy, crazy Sigartha G. aside, why do you care so much about welfare? I got a buddy whose mom is on welfare and she doesn't deserve it. She spends it all on drugs and has never worked a day in her life. All the power to her, I say. If a system such as welfare is set up, it is inevitably going to be abused. You act as though people on welfare are swimming in riches or something, cause welfare definately isn't anything but complete shit.

Sure, you're getting paid not to work, but you're making next-to-nothing.

I'm just really concerned as to why do you care that people choose to go on welfare? That's not you. That's them. I don't mean to be offensive, but it seems every topic you post in this forum has something to do with your bigotted views on politics, religion, homosexuals or race.

And props to Heald: Everybody hates America because they warp history to make it seem like they did everything right. Sure, every country is somewhat guilty of self patrinization, but you guys are the worst. :p

Believe it or not, you guys did next-to-nothing in World War One (Hey guys, it's 1917 and the war's almost over. Let's join in and claim we saved everybody's asses!), and the best foot-soldiers in the first war were Canadian and Australian, under British rule.

But fuck, I don't really care. I just find it funny how a lot of information on your side of the border gets corrupted or twisted slightly in your favor.
