You could do an hour long episode comparing these two.......\n\nI would argue that Canadians are more polite, but probably more individualistic. People will be nicer to you but they're less likely to become your friend.

I would like to take internship in agriculture sector in Canada. I have done three years internship in arguing japan. Any chance for me.

When one outwardly personifies that they actually like themselves, one attracts more of the same. Looks ridiculous to argue a point against ppl you work so hard and spend so much money trying to look like.

Racism was far more prevalent in Canada decades ago. I remember hearing stories from my aunts and uncles about the types of things that would happen when they first arrived in the country. People would heckle and threaten visible minorities. \n\nBut I can say I have personally never experienced systemic racism in Canada. This country gave my family and I opportunity, safety and a just system. I was born and raised in Canada, and this is my home. There is no other country I would want to live in.\n\nLong live Canada and what it stands for. God bless this land.\n\n\nEdit: I forgot to add that the post secondary program I graduated from had a disproportionately high percentage of students belonging to visible minorities. This is the case with similar programs across Canada. One could argue Caucasian students are grossly underrepresented in this program. Does this not fit the definition of systemic racism stated in this video?

don't argue with a fool, as nobody can tell which one is the legitemate fool!

id argue canada has a higher overall standard of living than america lol.

its not racism its just how the world works currently\nfor example using something other than race\ncar parks on side of the road. car opens door, unseen bike rider gets angry that the car opened the door in his riding path.\nsame bike rider gets to a red light with people crossing. runs the red light swerving through people but sees no problem with that though.\npeople just self centered. everyone chooses a side and only argues for that side. argues against the other side. can never do anything wrong in their own eyes but watches everyone else telling them they are wrong

For almost 150 years the Liberal Left has been conducting an experiment. The subjects of the experiment: African people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?\n\nThe whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.\n\nActing on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed African people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.\n\nDecade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted.\n\nThey created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.\n\nTheir new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to African schools and vice versa.\n\nThey tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand-wringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race.\n\nThey hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.”\n\nNothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.\nSome thought that the Talented Tenth would lead the way for African people. A group of elite, educated Africans would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what Africans were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the African Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.\n\nThrough the years, too many African people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.\n\nDetroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And Africans rarely take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away.\n\nThe white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many African geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president.\n\nSome argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.” But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, African “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, that has nothing to do with poverty.

No point arguing with a slow brained racist Karen ... Just call the cops in and be prepared if she swings

Muslims find Christian countries better and go there and settle. Muslims don't have enough brain and honesty to think why they are bad and their communities third rate. Once they reach a Western country they start to argue that Islam , which made them a deprived community in the first place, is better. Any person with a brain as the size of a peanut knows what Islam is - pure evil in disguise.

It is very obvious that he has not educated himself well enough at least to tell the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim. \nYou shouldn't argue about things that you haven't much knowledge of.

It dont matter what country ,what laws ,what race or even what subject muslims will argue and take the oppisore veiw. \nIts the only teaching that shares so many common put comes of violence and conflict.\nkashmir ,isreal china and even between sects like in yemen this is a angry group.\nIts always eceryone else to blame.\nNo one cares about myslims race that hole islamaphobia invention is yet another excuse to avoid the truth of what people are sick of when it cones to muslims.\nYou cant deny there nit a cooperative group and the one common deal is islam.\nthere are all races that practice islam.islam isnt a race .

Was arguing online with a person who said getting legalized was through a raffle. 😂

I think when most people use a racial term its usually to get a rise out of the person they're arguing with. I dont think they are going to KKK meetings just because they say a racial slur lol

In middle ages, Kazakhstani people were the most feared rivals of Muslim Civilizatiion. And in no way they could conquer us by means of war. So what they did is they sent a whole bunch of missionaries to our land, but in pursue of converting us into Middle Eastern religion, they changed themselves. Just like early Christianity that came also from middle East has changed under the influence of antique European culture. \nOur Tengrian culture mellowed down lots of Islamic rules, also many of us turned atheist  during Soviet Union, and learned critical thinking, I am an atheist, my mom is a muslim. My father is an atheist. All my surroundings are muslim. We argue sometimes about religion but mostly for the sake of discussion not a fight. But don't get fooled by the number of muslims here, we do not allow  any religious fundamentalism in our country. \nAnything that is not a part of our culture in Islam is being rejected. Like we do not allow kids to wear hijabs at school. Religious speeches are not allowed in schools and secular institution. Yet we have a growing number of mosques (all under strict control of our government) \nSo if kept as a religious community, where people help each other overcome the hardships of life, practice it moderately without pushing to anyone it is possible to have adescent muslims, but in no way it should be in contact with Middle Eastern ideologist that treats Western civilization as an enemy. \nYou guys need to separate british muslims and mosques from Middle Eastern warlords influence. It is a slow process, but it is worth it as it is the only adult way to deal with Islamic fundamentalism. Not by hating on your fellows citizens just because they are muslim.

Muslims are as much victims of Islam as are the rest of us! It is disheartening to see muslims so blind to the teachings of Islam and from the whole come a large remnant that take Islamic beliefs to the full extent that includes practices that includes domination of other societies, other religions, promote hatred of Israel and Jews, demote and disrespect our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and they dispute and argue with endless chatter and loud voices! Let’s pray for the muslims that they will hear the voice of reason from our Saviour Jesus!

Man this argument is like arguing which is better pizza or burgers??? Cnt win???

they earn money in China and investing in CANADA. IDK what you all freaking jerks argue for what?

I could argue that Anti-Canadian sentiment is a growing concern as more Muslims enter Canada.

Stay safe tips for visible minorities:\n1. Don't go to Starbucks\n2. Don't argue with people over parking spots, just let it go let them have the parking spot\n3. Don't aruge over few dollars or cents at stores, just forget the product and walk away\n4. Don't go to bars, restaurants, or establishments where alcohol is served and or you do not feel safe\n5. Don't go to stores where you do not feel welcomed, you can always shop online\n6. Don't go to restaurants or coffee shops where you do not feel welcomed\n7. When calling into a company for help/support, and you donot feel welcomed, just hang up and call again until you speak with someone nice.\n8. Nobody really cares about your complaints, so dont call into a company to yell and scream, just cancel the service and go with another company\n9. Go with your gut feeling, sometimes you do not feel like leaving the house, just don't.\n10. In general, try to be with friends and go to places where you feel safe.

Illegal is illegal can’t argue with that, why not try the proper way first???‍♂️

The US accepts about 1 000 000 immigrants per year. For a population of about 300 million people. Canada accepts about 300 000 immigrants per year, for a population of about 35 million people. So that means the US should accept about 10 000 000 immigrants per year. Or Canada about 30 000 immigrants per year.\n\nSo dont try to compare your-self with Canada on immigration. It would be like me arguing the Canadian military could beat the US military. Not by a long shot.

We were not born with any clothes or phones or guns or any freaking borders. Yet I read these comments and watch in shear amazement at how everyday people pickup the mantle of these god awful politicians. They argue how these people or that people should be sent back a few hundred miles this way or that way. Truth is, we are unwelcome immigrants in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Venezuela, Libya, and a whole host of countries around the world. Killing people to save them. Yet, after our immigration destroys their countries. We have the nerve to tell them they are not welcome in ours. Truth is the world is getting tired of people that classify themselves as white people thinking they have some god given right to tell people when, where, and how to live. People that classify themselves as white are beginning to be seen as a virus of destruction that infects this once peaceful planet. You know what happens to viruses. They run their course and then are DESTROYED.

Fun fact. She works at a car dealership(recently fired actually). The man arguing with her OWNS a dealership - hilarious that she brought up taxes because any Canadian knows that when an owner of dealership pays more in taxes (individual and commercial) than an employee at one.

Shaking my head, a slow learner uneducated white hillbilly lady who never heard about the outside world, eh. She needs to eff off and mind her own business, done. She is there at a restaurant to enjoy her lunch not arguing to a couple stranger for not speaking the English language. Get lost, ugly piece of waste lady! From London, Ontario.

İ am muslim and İ agree with you in Some points. \nAll the problem are made People,who was born as muslim but dont know even what is it. What is islam. They are cultural muslims. Not as Koran says. KORAN says THAT SOMEONE WHO FİGHTS AGAİNST YOU, YOU FİGHT WİTH THEM ONLY ON THE WAY ALLAH..its like protection. Not attack. \nİf you want to give your own thought. Search about all the provisions of Koran. Learn after argue about it. PROPHET MOHAMMED SAİD THAT CHRİSTİANİTY BEFORE CHANGİNG WAS TRUE RELİGİON AND THE WAY OF LİGHT. But Allah send Koran because of CHANGİNG in Bible. Please Read Koran and Bible. And compare. İt is for you life. İt is way of life both worlds. Religion is not just aktivity or Something. İt is the life. Without knowing how to live. There is of course possible all this difficulties. \nİ dont hate true Christians and other People. But if someone see me enemy because of my religion, İt is interacted. İ Should protect my Holy Book, my Religion, way of Allah. And ONLY because of that reason İ can fight not for another. \nPlease Read the life of Prophet Mohammed and Ali , Hussain \nSee their lifestyle. After write me what you want. \nSee you in Judgement day! \nİt is my number +994552560469

Regarding the girl who received less while wearing the veil than when wearing nothing/ a hijab: Don't get me wrong the things some poeple said to her were horrible, but i think its just natural that someone would be more willing to donate to someone whose face is clearly visible as they could be more sympathetic towards them based on their expressions and such. After all, would you donate to someone who was wearing a hockey mask or a balaclava? (I'm not implying that these are in any way the same, but remember that the Qaran does not state that they have to wear a full veil, just some food for thought). Some may argue that this intrudes on basic human facial expressions to one another.) Not only can people feel uneasy when they see someone in a burqa, but it can also be dangerous to the very person underneath it. The burqa isolates women from others and can hide evidence of abuse or assault. It advocates segregation of muslim women in public, which is blatant discrimination within itself, whichever way you look at it!!!

I've done a few of those implicit tests. \n\nBesides a few of them having grammar and spelling issues (wow, Harvard?) it seems more than a few of them are testing more than one thing at a time, or from more than one angle. There's no way to see exactly what the results mean.\n\n(Note: most of them tell me I've got very slim to no implicit racism in my results, so I'm not just arguing out of shame or upset, I'm stating the above out of an understanding of proper vs improper testing practices)

Who wants to argue with me for no reason?

muslim women in the middle east would argue that niqab and burkas ISN'T a choice and is oppression. \npeople in the west who argue otherwise don't know true islam.\nhowever, don't hate muslims. they are the victims of terrible indoctrination. they are good people with good intentions who sadly subscribe to the cult of Islam.

1 im canadien, 2: there was a girl in my class she was Islamic, she stated Islam is a religion of peace, knowing what i know today i would have argue with her, quoran sourah 8:12; beheaded infidels. yes this verce is clear and clearly written cut the neck of infidels, moderate islamit dont exit. has the bible they are time bomb to radicalism, the second you start to read the book. IS have read the quoran and they are Appling word for word the quoran because they read it. Christian did too it was called inquisition.

There is so much negativism associated with Islam and all Muslims get tarred with the same brush. They frighten us. Their dress is alien to us. ISIL and other groups do unspeakable things in the name of their religion. Their religion is too demanding. Christianity and other religions can adjust to scientific facts. We KNOW the world is round and there are other worlds, so far unpopulated, out there. Islam seems to demand adherence to its core beliefs written centuries ago and makes no concessions to emerging facts. Religion is the main influence in the life of Muslims and their Imams seem to have a lot to do with governance and education, instead of the separation of church and state to which we are used. If you come to Canada to live, then adjust to our values or leave, please. This doesn't mean that you have to stop attending a mosque but please discontinue the scary body coverings and start treating your women as equals, not chattels. Even some women will argue with that last bit, but why does a woman have to cover up and a man does not? This is NOT equality.

Muslims: Instead of arguing with trolls here they should all go out and vote Liberals tomorrow. Please remember a vote for NDP is a vote to Harper's victory. I would urge NDP supporters to vote Liberals. I am not going to lie, I voted NDP for Jack Layton but we got to support Justin to kick Harper out

They apply in every generation. I just said that... \nBut not in regular circumstances; like war or conflict...\nI'm not here to argue it's a pacifistic religion, because it's not.

yes well depicting the prophet is forbidden in islam so its something its very important to us. Kill jewish children? sums you up. no guessing what side of the palestine debate you are on. because its not like the jews have ever killed any muslims, or taken away their land. and yes you are clearly generalizing, by saying Islam blah blah blah when its actually a insignificant minority of muslims with their own POLITICAL ideologies. No point arguing with someone who clearly has it in for Islam.

I did not demand you. And you know what, because i know my deen, I’m going to say to you; sorry, if i sounded demanding to you, but i was just advising you from one sister to another. And lastly, we are both Muslims, and I’m sure we both know that it is not appropriate for us to argue like this. Again sorry if i came across as being rude and Jazaka allahu kyran

I'm not arguing anything, it's not my opinion. It's even on the History channel. In circa 684 the Umayyad (Arab muslims) empire marched into Jerusalem, slaughtered and exiled all Jews. This cycle repeated for the next couple hundred years.
