Should I? Oh, fuck it... BLAME CANADA
Tiny wank ganked from a mouse at [info]wank_report.

In parenting101, goodgirlzero posts a seemingly innocuous little post asking for advice about housing while she and her fiance are attending school.

Blainthemono brings up the "mellenium scholarship," but chrispina (owner of this earlier comment) is a little displeased:

some of us prefer it the way it is in the US where people have to take responsibility for their actions and not live off the taxes of others so they don't have to lower themselves to take a "shit job" to support their family. some of us think that the US already has far too many social welfare programs.

Blaininthemono tries to explain the difference (though falters with "I forgot that about half the people in the states are conservative idiots"). Naturally, it's all downhill from there with a one-on-one States vs. Canada pissing contest.

Reigning comment o' wank so far:

and you can sit there secure in canada because americans are fighting your battles for you. you owe your freedom to our soldiers.

and you aren't entitled to a college degree. you can get a decent job with just the free public education. you don't deserve to go to a 4 year college (or more) just because you want to.

i don't believe in the working majority paying for the minority. a welfare state is self-perpetuating.

People like[info]chrispina really push my buttons, I have to admit. Must.Resist. The. Urge.

I want to smack them both. While chrispina's clearly the more batshit of the two, I'm also really tired of the popular Canadian assumption that all Americans are dumb cowboys who believe everything their government says. Is it a paradise down there? Oh, hell, no. But insisting it's because every single person in a country of 300 million is a total dumbfuck? See icon.

Now where's that tissue box?

Argh. Conservatives like chrispina really raise my blood pressure. I mean, Libertarianism is all well and good, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and all that, but Goddamn it, there are people out there who don't have bootstraps to start with!

It is possible to make a living wage without a 4-year degree, but it's rare, and you usually have to start with some money and a lot of luck. And a lot of it depends on what part of the US you're living in.

Let's not even talk the rate that college tuition and fees are rising.

And please. Qualifying for social programs isn't easy. You don't just walk into the local welfare office and ask for money. Even when I was making about $1,000 a year (post taxes and rent, according to my social security statements)? I didn't qualify.

it doesn't take a degree to get a decent job that pays enough to cover rent and necessities and health insurance. when the other finishes school and is able to get a good job, the first can go back to school.

you are confusing medicare with medicaid. i actually worked for medicaid. medicare is something they everyone is entitled to and everyone pays into. medicaid is something that everyone pays into but only some people are entitled to.

Also? That's what a social program is, dumbass. You pay into medicaid and if you need it, it's there. You don't have to use medicare if you don't want or need to, just because most people do doesn't mean you *have* to.

She should come to Michigan for a while--we're always hit hardest by a recession and recover the slowest; the vast majority of our income depends on the automotive field and tourism. I'd like to see her find a decent paying job here.

*looks around* Since no-one has said it yet,

BLAME CANADA!
BLAME CANADA!


I love how chrispina is acting like Canadia is this happy magical land of peace and ever-wonderment, with lollipop shrubs, goldfish trees, and all of your meals are taken on plush pillows made of clouds, while you're fed by nubile nymphs/stallion hung studs.

And I love that whole "Americans take responsibility for their actions" bullshit. We live in a country where the fucking president can't admit a mistake unless it's in the Friday dump with the rest of the news, and anytime a kid brings a gun to school, everyone immeadietly blames the media instead of considering, "hmm. Maybe if I didn't sit on my ass, drink beer, beat my wiener and my wife, and shown my kid how to be a good citizen, this wouldn't have happened! While I'm at it, I will consider other possibilities as well!"

No splooge here. I'm snickering. :)

I get overly protective whenever people bash Canada like we haven't done anything EVER.

Could SOMEONE go over there and tell the twunt (who coined that? love it!) that Canadian soldiers are SERVING IN AFGHANISTAN??

Iraq? nope. And good for them. Plenty of us from the U.S. don't think we should be there, either (though we support the troops who have no damned choice but to be there).
