was going to downvote, but your attribution made me laugh, so have an upvote instead

Wrath, I agree with you but I think you're giving the OP way too much credit. There are a hundred different ways to word it if they were complaining about the system and not the people in it. This was not one of them.

If by'young' you mean '10-16' maybe

You can still be patriotic and still realize that it was true.
Less so now,at least where I come from... which I only feel comfortable saying because a good portion of the textbook is basically "Look at all the shitty things Canada has done!"

I will third the responsible drinking thing. I was actually encouraged to drink at home at around 12 (my parents are crazy, mmk) but I had a practical lesson in why that was a bad idea (see previous brackets). I am now 19, legally allowed to drink in Canada, and have never had more than a sip of alcohol.

*shitty Canadian beer.
Seriously, I'm canadian, don't equivilate our beer to that crap :P

eh, it's second hand I doubt you would be able to sell it for as much as one would hope. Plus your parents would be offended

1) because just because the USA is bad, doesn't make other countries not worse. If you could get from a one star hotel to a three star without breaking your bank, wouldn't you? Does that make the three star great? No, it does not.
2) Because other countries don't want people. There is an extensive screening process and it's a pain in the ass to move especially if your ideal country is say Norway.
