a little update to that story. I went to bed after writing that and it was fresh in my mind. Made me think back to those highschool days and how everything was so wild and new, and I was just some kid who used to skateboard and play sports thrown into this new world of what we call highschool.

Anyways I was asleep that night and woke up at 5 am to the smashing of my condo door and someone yelling "Wake the fuck up!".

I had no clue who it was because who the hell would be coming to my condo at 5 am and making that much noise. I was half asleep and walked over to the front door. I peeped out of the peep hole to see someone at my neighbour's front door drunk as hell banging the shit out of the door. I was half asleep and for a second I was like "Oh shit its that guy Sean B****n, hes back to murder me and got my unit # wrong" and I went into the sports closet and pulled out a bat. Looked again and just realized it was some drunkin idiot. One of my neighbours came out and told him he was going to call security if he doesn't leave right now. drunk guy left. I went back to bed. End Story.


Ps i make it sound liek i live in the wild ghetto I live in a very prestigious converted loft building in toronto's West End in a good area.

I also give you that tad bit of information so nou has a real life example of someone who was born into the lower middleclass and can go out on his own, work very hard and change his circumstances.

Why would I need that? I am very aware of the struggles that people face in the US (and you are a Canadian, you actually do have it significantly better than most Americans born into the same circumstances) and I think there is a lot that can be done to make life easier for them and expand economic opportunities and class ascension.

Ascenseur pour le ghetto. Il est minuit à Tokyo, il est cinq heures au Mali, quelle heure est-il au paradis ?

How so? You are talking out of your ass here. Racial prejudice aside (yes, Americans have it worse in this respect...non applicable to Eric or yourself) I'm curious as to how you believe Canadians have it easier.

The solution is the same in both countries: go to school, work hard, and make something of yourself. You are not handed anything in Canada. You have to get it.

Elaborate. I'm generally curious as to the delusions that you have. Lazy fucks in Canada generally still lose at life.

edit: Yes, university is government subsidized and cheaper for us. This, however, is not free. Taxes, your parents do pay them. America's biggest fault is the privatization of universities (that make a shitload more than they should) charging insane amounts for mediocre educations. If they have a decent sports program they are making tons of money and not passing the buck back to the people. This should not happen, but no one does anything to change it.

Basically subsidized education and universal healthcare give you a huge advantage over the US. There really isn't much more too it. In the US you are saddled with medical debt or massive student debt. Not having those things be a possibility or a worry drastically increase economic mobility.

I am not saying that you can't fail in Canada, by all means you can, but seriously, the fact that someone as fucking batshit as w-ashley was posting on here? That guy would have been on the streets in the US with no place to go because there isn't a cent to help the mentally ill anymore.

While we're on the US bashing train...

God the news coming out of their lately has been depressing. The more I learn the more ridiculous it gets. For instance a friend of mine was telling me how you can get student loans to pay for college dorm rooms, but they can't be used to pay for general rental near your college. Do you know who that benefits? Absolutely nobody besides universities, it's hilariously corrupt. Especially when people could potentially be paying 1/2 to 1/3 as much in rent if they opened things up a bit.

I predict that the US is going to hell purely because of citizens united and first past the post/their voting system. Things only get worse every 10 years in terms of economic inequality and insane economics practiced by the ruling parties. How is anything supposed to change when there's such a huge amount of money going into the system they have first past the post?

When you pay 42% of your salary in income tax (what i was before splitting), and 15% goods and service tax on almost everything, you are saddled in other ways.

Granted we are smarter, but fuck me if you can pay your rent with intelligence.

For all of its faults, I love China. You are a go-getter? You will get. I'm by no means rich, but the amount aof my salary that I can bank is insane compared to before. Pay as you go for things like health care and school. The burden of some is not the burden of all. If this is communism (it is not), call me a card carrying pinko.

Also: The Canadian medical system leads to the "brain drain". All of the best doctors split stateside to make more money...all while having had their education subsidized by the Canadian taxpayer.

The universal health care system is a massive failure. A 2 tier approach is what is needed. You make more money? You should have access to better services. Just as a higher salary dictates getting better everything.
