I wasn't going to bother getting involved in this one, but Tommy's last post was such an incredible mess of misinformation and misunderstanding what others said.
Let's start with health care in Canada. Sorry Tommy, but Canada does not have the best health care in the world. According the the World Health Organization's 2000 World Health Report, the latest to rank all countries by total health care instead of by specific catagories of health care, Canada did rank slightly higher than the US, but didn't even make the top 20. Canada came in at #30 and the US was #37. The World Health Organization's 2005 Human Development Index also rated Canada higher than the US, with Canada beign ranked 5th and the US ranked 10th. However, the HDI does not include a country's health care rank, and the only health indicators used to calculate rankings are average life span and infant mortality rate. It should also be noted that the World Health Report rankings are based on the averages for each nation as a whole, and the rank of the US was brought down significantly by the high percentage of the population that is uninsured and under insured and therefore unable or unwilling to obtain care due to financial constraints. The US does rank #1 for per-capita healthcare spending and has far more medical facilities in the top 100 than any other country.

I'm not going to bother getting into the argument over why the US invaded Iraq. Give me facts and figures and I might, but I'm not going to bother with conjecture, consipracy theories, and angry rhetoric.

Your little "fact" about how "in the entire history of the world not 1 iraqi has ever killed an american or canadian" is total crap and I can't even fathom how you managed to invent that and convince yourself of it. I'm going to guess that what you were trying to say was that the Iraqi Government has not killed any Canadian or American civilians, but even that wouldn't be true. Please, before you start throwing "facts" around go look up the definition of the word and find real facts to back up your arguments instead of making things up and claiming they are facts.

The "hamburger vs. prime rib" comment made by XTR3M3 is what is known as an analogy. What it meant was that Canadian health care is like hamburger, inexpensive enough for everyone but generally not that great, while the American health care system is like prime rib, it costs more but what you get is a lot better (if you can afford it).

Read up on Canadian (and world) history before making absurd claims. Beleive it or not Canada has gone to war before and called on the US for aid. I'm not sure what you're referring to with "always helping other countries, including yours" but the fact is that the US consistantly gives far more economic, military, and medical aid to other countries than any other country in the world.

I'd love to see where you got your so called Nostradamus (it's one word by the way..it's his last name..and he died in 1566 not the 1600s) predictions. I've seen similar ones in various hoax emails, but if you ever actually read any of his writings instead of just blindly accepting as real whatever someone forwarded to you in a chain email you'd find out that he didn't make ANY of the predictions you are attributing to him. He didn't predict the London Fires, he didn't predict the world wars (nevermind the dates...seriously kid, try reading the actual source material you claim to be quoting...I took the time to do it, why don't you?), he didn't predict Hitler (the line you are trying to refer is Hister sera, which was the name of a PLACE along the Danube River at the time Nostradamus wrote that, not the name of a person), he didn't predict 9-11, and nowhere in any of his writings is there anything even close to what said about Bin Laden. Again, please learn to read the actual source material before quoting it and claiming it as some kind of proof.
I have no idea where you got your flying pigs thing from, but it's dfinately not Nostradamus. He never wrote anything about flying pigs.
