              Heard about this bill about the detainees and all, but I think I heard that the White House is planning to veto this anyways.

                Show me where. Also it doesn't matter if it's an American newsite. How does the locaation of a newsite make it's information more or less credible?

                    Re: US Senate declares the entire USA to be a ”battleground”

                    So me and my friend are having an discussion on this. He's using "This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a ”battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus (martial law) and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity." as a reason for this being legit.

                    Now, is there evidence that shows that this is a load of BS? I know Devonin said that he read the bills and that nothing came about anything close to what the article and video are saying. So is there any concrete proof that debunks this video? Or can you at least link me to the bill that may debunk this article? Kind of makes me wonder why they would put an article out like that if it has nothing to do with the actual bill. ._.

                      The media does this shit all the time. The link was posted above which I one of MANY reasons to read at least the last couple pages of a thread.

                          Also I dig all the "Time to go to Canada" posts.

                          You realise we have -very- strict and difficult immigration requirements? Any of you that aren't doctors, lawyers, engineers, some other kind of highly trained professional, or married to a Canadian are going to get shown the door before you even manage to get into the country. :P

                            If that were true, we wouldn't be known as the friendliest country in the world. It's true, we have a priorities list of who can get in and who can't (ex. you have less of a chance if you haven't finished school, are 60 and are suffering from a disease, etc) but if it was as strict as you say, we wouldn't have a bunch of people running around running Kwik-e-Marts, we'd have doctors and more technology and people with a higher IQ. I'm sorry if that comes off racist, but over half the people from families that have immigrated I have seen be extremely rude, low intelligence-- especially when it comes to raising a family-- bla bla bla, I could list all the things, but I wont, because It's probably wrong to kick a horse like that.
                            In fact, speaking of health, not to recently ago I heard that we were doing pretty bad in health care compared to other countries.

                            tl;dr, we're really not as unwelcoming as dev says. We have guidelines, but we aren't THAT strict. lol

                              Honestly it would pretty simple to get a Temporary Residence Visa and vacation in Canada for a few months while America has a civil war, then move back once everyone is dead.

                              "Move to Canada" doesn't have to be permanent, just long enough not to get shot
