Unfortunately, this is considered fair play when dealing with 0bama and his party; fight fire with fire.

For instance: even my local news several weeks ago claimed that the proposed voter ID requirement stood to hurt the democrats, who staunchly opposed it. Why aren't the republicans opposing, or even concerned about it?

Anyone of any race and age can easily obtain a state ID, so getting one isn't the issue. The ability (or, rather inability) to keep the voting process/results honest seems to be the only reason to oppose the requirement.

I'm not sure you should care. However, I think that being foreign to the US gives me some objectivity you are lacking that's for sure. The country I am from is perhaps the best in the world on almost every measure, blame Canada. Seriously though, your politics impact our economy pretty heavily.

I think it's legitimate and not sure why you find it hilarious. After all, elections today frequently have repercussions that go beyond the borders of the country in which they're held, and that goes doubly for the United States and a few other countries.

As for not being able to name a Canadian politician - I don't know that that applies to all Americans, as you claim; but even if it did, so what? Most Americans (you, most likely included) also can't name one element from the actinide series. What does that prove, exactly, apart from the fact that you can't name any?

We get it, America don't give a fuck about the rest and I can assure you, the rest of the world feels the same way. I just enjoy your elections and primaries. Having a bunch of hopeless half wits proclaiming that 'We're taking America back', 'We're sending a message to the White House' and watching even dumber people ecstatically cheering, falling for the same fucking lines and shit again!! Brilliant!

Palin was really funny, it was better than a movie, it was almost like un-reality, a bizzaro world of sorts. How could someone so clearly stupid be a VP candidate is too funny. The primaries were really good too, rick perry gave me some good laughs.

All things considered I would rather live in Canada now then the states. Crime rate is lower, health care is cheaper, standard of living higher, less crowding and in particular my province is booming right now with multiple oil sites being drilled, money is flowing in like crazy.

I was cracking up listening to Bachman. And well, pretty much all Republican candidates. At some points I was watching the screens at the back, waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out and tell everyone we've been punked.

Same here in the UK with the leader of the opposition. I REFUSE to belief that it's not a windup.

One thing Canada is missing is that it's horizontal nature doesn't give much climate difference, I honestly think this is one of the best things about the states. You can go hot/dry, hot/wet, cold, deserts and mountain ranges it is really diverse. Canada barely changes from place to place and going further north is only shittier.

Listen I don't hate the US, nor do I care about Canada all that much, I identify as a newfie. There is more oppurtunity to make it big in the states thats for sure.

Yeah, but it is also colder than a witch's tit in most of Canada much of the year. I'd prefer New Zealand if I where to leave the U.S. Lately, I have been considering a move to Hawaii. Real Estate prices are still down, so it is a good time to buy there.

The prices are not down  Average price of a home is $637k.  Average condo price is $319k.  While those prices are less than some peak periods, that's hardly cheap.

Those prices are not remotely analogous.  I've been to Portland, Oregon and the median home prices is not $1.4 million.  I don't know anything about West Linn, but if it's one of the more exclusive areas, it's not representative what you will find in Hawaii. 

What I gave you was the median home price.  The house you linked, a 3/3, 4500 square feet, 6.4 acre lot, would probably be about $5 to $10 million, here, depending on the location.  And I'm excluding ocean front property.

Right. Well to be honest, not all homes in West Linn are that expensive, as you will see here: http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/West_Linn-Oregon/ (http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/West_Linn-Oregon/).  However, it would seem that not all homes in Hilo, HI are as expensive as you suggest either. http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/123-Punahele-St_Hilo_HI_96720_M89633-80612 (http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/123-Punahele-St_Hilo_HI_96720_M89633-80612), http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1014-Lelepau-St_South-Hilo_HI_96720_M89195-17251 (http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1014-Lelepau-St_South-Hilo_HI_96720_M89195-17251) and http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/33-Hualalai-St-Apt-208_Hilo_HI_96720_M72214-95928 (http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/33-Hualalai-St-Apt-208_Hilo_HI_96720_M72214-95928)

The fellow I was talking to last night, who is moving to Hawaii next week, bought his home about a year ago. He has put some money into it, remodeling it to suit his taste. He said he paid $365,000. His house is on the big island. I assume from what he said about the neighbors, it is in a town or city. As to whether it is next to a volcano or not, he didn't really say.

Did you actually look at the properties in those links?  Do you realize how small those places are?  Or where they are located?  Property on the Big Island, depending on the location, is cheaper than property on Oahu, Maui, or Kauai.  But I'd never live on the Big Island.  Some beautiful areas, but the vog is terrible.   

What I gave you was staight from the Honolulu Board of Realtors.  http://hicentral.com/

So the average list price in West Linn is $579,873 and the median sales price is $367,000?  That's much lower than Hawaii.

I think you missed in my original post that the fellow I was talking to was moving to the big island. That's why I made that comparison and not one which included Oahu, Maui or Kauai. I'll nod to you that if you live in Hawaii, you undoubtedly know a lot more about the real estate market there than I do. Frankly, I was shocked when Paul told me how little he had paid for a house there.

According to Zillow, my vintage 1979 3,000 sq. ft. 4 bedroom, 3 bath "Brady Bunch" style home on a 9,000 sq. ft. lot is right at the median sales price. Lucky me, I paid nowhere near that much when I bought it in 1998. However it has lost around $150,000 in value since 2007. Needless to say, I love that builders are building all these million dollar plus homes all around us. It will just bring our property values up.

The truth is, I like where I live and I am not moving anytime soon. I just put $16,000 into my backyard landscape last spring.  If I did, I probably would not move to Hawaii. My son lives in a small town in Bavaria, GR. Chances are I'd move their before I'd move to Hawaii where I have no family what-so-ever.

The truth is, I like where I live and I am not moving anytime soon. I just put $16,000 into my backyard landscape last spring.  If I did, I probably would not move to Hawaii. My son lives in a small town in Bavaria, GR. Chances are I'd move their before I'd move to Hawaii where I have no family what-so-ever.

I read your original post.  The median home prices I mentioned are for the entire state, including the Big Island.  I'm not surprised your friend found a house for under $400k on the Big Island.  I'll go out on a limb and say it's smaller than your 4/3, 3,000 sq. ft. home on a 9,000 sq. ft. lot.  If you're looking for something like that here you'll be paying a lot more than $400k.

The facts:

Democrats are just mad that illegal aliens can no longer vote in the presidential elections because now they must show ID.

Canada is USA's mentally retarded, little brother.

Necrosis is good people, and a medical doctor.  He is an agnostic liberal, but nobody is perfect.    :D

No doubt anything I like would cost more. I have no idea what his place is like. I am fairly particular, what suits him wouldn't necessarily suit me. Although we currently have a reasonably large home, we don't need this much space. There is just my wife and me and our two dogs at home. A extra bedroom for our kids and a bunk area for the grandchildren would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. We don't need a bunch of land either. A townhouse with decent sized patios would be fine. Although I really like gardening, there will come a time when it is too much work.

Not having been to the Big Island, I have no idea if I would like it. We have visited Oahu and there were neighborhoods in Honolulu that we liked. I doubt we could afford beach front property, but something walking or bicycling distance and perhaps with a view would be excellent. I like being in or near a large city as long as the neighborhood is good. Needless to say I am a good example of someone with champaign tastes and a beer budget. Well, there is always winning the lottery. LOL!

Not true in Wisconsin.

lol.  You could probably find something in your price range here.  If you want to be near a large city you won't find that on the Big Island.  I wouldn't consider Kona or Hilo "big."  It's more of a small town feel.  Great people.  The vog is a killer though, at least for me.  

You actually have it pretty good in Oregon.  Nice place.  I loved the transportation system in Portland.  No sales tax either.  Always a plus.   :)
