Um that's what you did.

the fact is the U.S. has more debt then Canada

Yeah, because the US is a lot bigger than Canada and has a much larger economy. However Canada has more RELATIVE public debt when you factor in their debt in proportion to their GDP.

Think about it. Say Person A makes $150,000 a year, and Person B makes $10,000 a year. If Person A is $50,000 in debt, and Person B is $6,000 in debt, it's VERY, VERY deceptive to say Person A is in more debt. Because although the absolute amount of debt is higher for Person A, it's only about 33% of his/her yearly income, while Person B's debt is 60% of his/her income.

That is how a lot of people from a lot of countries who are in more debt than the US, get away with making jabs about the US supposedly being in such high debt. They just spout out "lolz like U R trillionz in teh debtz" without putting it into context and realizing that their debt may be lower than the US debt, but their GDP is WAY lower than the US GDP.

If you ask me, Pot should be ILLEGAL. not just illegal unless you have cancer, especially since i know people who got cancer from pot.

Nicely put, i agree DBP person above me. My friend and me used to be in debt. I made 40k a year, he made 30k a year. i was 20k in debt, he was 19.5k in debt. He said i was in more debt, but in reality, he was. Of course, now we both make over 500k a year =)

Um that's what you did.

no im preety sure thats exactly what you did

fact: Canada has a larger land mass then the U.S. in fact were the second largest country in the world

ok so great now you put youself in a even stupider position not only are you more in debt, but you make a lot more money to pay off that debt , but somehow your still in the gutter.

also in temrs of gdp your country also does worse off, in percentage to debt

U.S. 13 trillion gdp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat es

while canada has 1 trillion gdp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat es

so you have 13 times as much gdp

U.S. debt 9.3 trillion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat es_public_debt

canada debt 5 billion http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/0801 30/d080130a.htm

so in comparison your in almost 20 times more in debt then canada , but only 13 times the gdp,
so if we compare this satisicly like you did

U.S. debt percentage of gdp 70 percent

canada debt percentage of gdp 50 percent

there fore your own logic smacks you in the face

while canada has 1 trillion gdp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat es

sorry, it was the wrong link ,heres the right one

C'est vrai que c'est un pays libre. Mais avant de dire que vous aimez le Canada, et que vous citez les differentes cultures et langues, assurez vous de pouvoir parler une de ces langues. En passant, beau travail avec le traducteur monsieur.

First what has this to do with Pot laws in Canada?
Also in Canada French & English are suppose to be the official languages.
The only actual bi-lingual Province in Canada is New Brunswick.
Quebec is a FRENCH SPEAKING Province...not only are they officially a french speaking Province, they actually have a language police who go around harassing & charging business owners etc. for not having the proper size sign's in French for example.
No other Province has a language police.

I read a story just today over the language police in Quebec charging an Irish Pub... you got it for having posters up in the pub promoting Guiness, St.James Gate Brewery Ireland etc. -gasp- how dare an Irish Pub put up posters of Irish theme's. (God help them if they put green up for St. Patties Day)

French a language of losers...people who are so insecure they need special police to protect it.

So are you saying that because pot can kill you after excessive use it should be outlawed? Mabye you would like to know that ANY drug if used excessively can kill you. I would also like to know on how you stand on alcohol and tobacco legislation. Because you do know that people can get cancer from tobacco or even liver cancer if they drink to much alcohol for a long enough time. I would also like to point out that you would be hard pressed to find a country that had statistics that showed that alcohol and tobacco are less than a problem than Marijuana. Society has determined that its ok to do drugs as long as those drugs take serveal decades to kill you so why should pot be illegal?
I know tis for a fact that people under the influence of Marijuana alone are way too relaxed to do anything aggressive or illegal, in contrast people under the influence of alcohol will be more aggressive and more prone to commit irresponsible actions because alcohol impairs judgment. (I only stand for Marijuana legislation, all other illicit drugs are justified as being illegal to me)

If you can present any counter arguments on why Marijuana should be illegal Kyle101 I would like to hear them.

On the actual starting topic. I can only say. Trust someone from newgrounds to interpret that Marijuana is legal in a country, just because they explain that Marijuana criminalization has a more lenient attitude than your country (I'm guessing America from your level of ignorance). If you are American you fit the stereotype, if you are not you are an idiot, if you think you are not an idiot then you should have not bothered to argue with early teenagers that think they know everything in the universe (meaning you provide link to who actually said Marijuana is legal) at which point you should have just replied to them in the post they said it in.

oh God

If you mixed the debt into some jam and spread it across the entire country, we have less debt on average here in Canada.

PROOF?

"Meanwhile, back in fantasy land..."

"[PROZAC] the world's most popular antidepressant, which is taken by over 40 million people, has been deemed no better than a placebo in latest research carried out by department of psychology at Hull University."

I think it's pretty obvious there's only one true God and it's pretty obvious which one it is.
I don't need to say it. We all know. That's why I won't say which God it is.
Thor? Rha? Galactus?
Not saying.

25 or 30 years !!!
Well you may still be healthy, but it's really F&^%$ed up your ability to remember anything.
I would personally call 2 ounces a week a habit.
But by the way you write I find it hard to believe you've been smoking pot for 30 years.
I actually don't even believe your 30 years old.

Well Sollnvictus, I guess the short form of your name is "Sol" & since it well know word that means Sun, & since I would rather worship the Sun over any of the Back Assward Religions on this spinning wet rock. I guess you can take a bow on behalf of Sol the bright & not too hot at this distance !

Did smoking pot for that long kill your writing and memory skills, or were you like this to start with?

Also, I'm guessing your stoned right now. Enjoy your emphysema and large snack bill.

pot isnt legal in canada but there are certian guidlines:
1-you must hold over 10 grams of weed to be imprisoned, you can still be charged
2-you MUST be imprisoned if you have 19 or more plants, if you have less you get a fine depeding on how manny plants you have

and besides nobody cares if you only do it somtime and only have a little. belive me i kno

Would you just mind explaining how Debt as a percent of GDP is reliable in a situation where one base is a little more than eleven and a half times larger than the other?

You've argued consistantly that Canada is not different from the United States at all so why shouldn't it be reasonable to assume that if all was equal and fair the National Debt would not be equal?
