Eurola:

Soon, we'll be riding motorcycles and bikes and walk to work, like in Europe.

The problem is that everything is so spread out here, unless you live in a major city you pretty much have to drive.

z_darius:

The time is almost here to look at them little 2 liter engine cars

I seen the Chevy Volt at the auto show, it looks cool, doesnt peel rubber but it can go 50 miles on one charge.
Im sure moped, scooters and bike sales will be on the rise this summer.

guesswho
yeah, very unusual indeed. First time in ten years or so (just like snow btw, lol)

We were slammed with a huge blizzard this year and now it has been raining every day for 2 weeks:(

I never been through a Tornado but have experienced a Hurricane before, Andrew back in 92

sledz: bike sales You can go far on a bike and fast, too. Riding a bike is a quick way to get someplace without burning gas. I only drive a car because everyone else does. If hardly anyone drove and everyone rode bikes, I would join them because it's so cheap and good exercise. The only reason I don't now is I don't want to get run over.

All the free govnt programs and wasteful spending have dug us into a huge ditch!

We spent over a trillion in Iraq, we could of re-built half the country with that kind of money.

Hope you find something soon:)

ouch.. try getting in canada specially alberta. that's the money state! city of fort mcmoney i heard even working for dead-end jobs like mac dicks pays $18/h.
vancouver also is a booming city with killer view! just be prepared to pay hefty amount for renting or buying a house. it's ridiculously expensive! 2000 sq ft bungalow could easily set you back close to 800k to buy!!!!

The worst is when youre pedaling into the wind and then you get to where you are going to turn around and enjoy the wind at your back, then it suddenly changes directions...grrr!

Tlum: Better life in USA or Canada? better color green or yellow? Better men handsome or intelligent? Better food Italian or Chinese? The answer to all of this is, it's in the eye of the beholder. Nothing is really better or worse, it's how we feel about something is what makes the difference.

Tlum:

How about weather, 6 months of cold weather and snow may not be the biggest plus of Canada? Or crime?

And how is the weather in canada different from most of the northern US?

tygrys:

Canada's OK, but the US is much better. I don't like the liberal attitude Canada had achieved, there are many more lesbos and gays there than in the US, although nothing can be done about them once they start crawling out of the closet. Another thing I dislike about Canada is their Free healthcare system, which is also taking over America and that is scary. The government tells you which doctor to see, who to see, when to see him etc. and there is no freedom of choice of insurance. The healthcare in the US will be as bad as in Poland because the doctors won't care anymore, they get paid a certain amount by the gov. so why should they go that extra mile to heal someone.

Thanks for this post, it really shows how stupid you americans are when it comes to universal health care.
