Nah, Canada is like Mexico, probably a little better, or more like Argentina or the Soviet Union.on-hold said:I thought about Germany and Austria -- but I remember from studying in Basel (Switzerland) that a German professor who lived half an hour away across the border could only understand about 85% of the local Swiss dialect, and always spoke formal German with his colleagues; and Basel Swiss German is closer to regular German than any other dialect. I bet that there are real and noticeable differences between Austria and Germany, but that's just a guess . . .
There are probably Spanish or Caribbean countries that are pretty close, but I don't know any details of that.
It is, but that's why Corazon's here -- he likes to make fun of Americans, people of other races, interracial marriage, and Asians. For myself, I came here because I wanted to raise my son in a better place, and health care is part of that (it's part of being in a country that has a social compact); so his crack is true in that way, but I'm not ashamed of it.Dejaavu said:That is very insulting and rude to say that.
Nah, he's just a troll.Dejaavu said:Have you been to all those countries and lived there to make comparisons?
O I thought you were asking on-hold. I was talking about him. He claims he studied in Swiss, Norway, UK, US, Canada, etc.Dejaavu said:Corazon3,
I actually asked whether you lived in those countries to make comparisons?
You couldn't even hold a steady job with benefits in the US. So you came to Canada for your son. At least you are honest.on-hold said:It is, but that's why Corazon's here -- he likes to make fun of Americans, people of other races, interracial marriage, and Asians.
