So now that Obama's won..

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Guam is a part of the US. But you don't get to vote for President because it's not a state. :(

Yes, they do. Which is odd because they're not allowed to vote for President. Even Americans living in other countries can vote for President. The territories are the only places in the entire world were Americans can't vote for President. American astronauts living in space can vote for President even.

Do you know what's funny? In Canada they always teach in schools how Canada is so much better than USA. In USA it appears as though they teach that Canada is a socialist country and USA is so much better than Canada. Every country just thinks they're the best when in reality they all suck.

In the US we learn that Canada is America's hat and Mexico is America's pants. True story.

Of course they do, because it's not run by Obama. ...okay, now you can drill me for saying that.
One of the young ladies at our church married a Canadian. My dad was talking with them about health care differences between USA and Canada a month or two ago, and from what it sounds like, right now health care is better down here (although, not all of the health care plan has taken effect, I don't think) than up there. But the lady said she told her husband (half-jokingly) that if health care plans start to get really bad, she might just like to move to Canada for a couple of years, because at least they've already figured out the government health care, what suits the government, etc.

As for where to move to, Josh and Jake might appreciate a bunch of us ToOers moving to Ghana with them... ;)
Sure, if they can deal with constant power outages and stuff \:D/

I was thinking of moving to Ghana, but--oh, wait.

The District of Columbia can vote, but they aren’t a state.

I'm going to celebrate by getting a whole bunch of free phones. And all the female healthcare I want.

Not if she moves to Europe. Unless Obama is plotting to take over the world. Which knowing him could happen.

No. I'm not going to let that go. It's nonsense. Knowing him, he's likely to take over the world? Really? I'm sorry, but that's so reactionary and over the top that I can't stop myself from calling it out. It's simply not true, and the more you repeat it, the more people believe it. Please stop perpetuating these sort of rumors.

It was a joke darcie that's all a simple joke. There is no need to get that upset about a simple joke. Since you are that upset about it have a moderator delete the post.
