Last weekend I was out, actually in the line-up to a bar, and a guy I know, who ran in the last federal election got in line right behind me.  After 2 minutes the usual line chatter kicks up and despite my best efforts he saw me.  (read with drunken slur) “Hey I remember you,  you used to be in...

I love people who are like that and then ask if you take "air miles" and use their debit card...

I remember being in Montreal and stumbling upon ‘Diversity’.  They had a CF recruiting booth there set up.  I remember my American friends making … well I’ll say off colour comments on not just the people the CF would attract, but started digging in to how the Canadian military would get...

Energy can neither be made or destroyed, it can only chgange form. If you want to use energy it has to come from somewhere. Water is already in a stable form. The only way to get 'water' into useable form is to add something to it. An electrical current will split the H from the O. ...

It is a rare thing when I completely agree with someone.  c_canuk you are 100% correct.  I'm not saying that I just agree with you; you're right. Water is not fuel, it is the result of burnt hydrogen,  to get the the H2O into 'useable form', we'd have to use energy.  For exactly the reasons...

I'm from Alberta,  I've seen the shrines to vengeance for the National Energy Program.  And not to nit pick but Stephen Harper was born in Toronto and moved to Alberta. ( http://www.conservative.ca/EN/1002 ) The details have just been released,  why is everyone here saying it is a scam?

I’m not a fan of excise taxes.  Not for any good reason, I just don’t like them.  But, as much as I don’t like them,  I know they are useful.  Governments use the tax code to encourage economic activity they want and discourage activity they don’t want.  I think of the super extra taxes placed...

I’ve found it interesting to see where this thread would go … I think it is going to a bad place so I’ll jam in a few points I think I’ll want to make later before this thread is locked. On the topic of Muslim extremists taking control of our population/democratic system, interesting but I...

I just got back from Chapters,  I saw the book there... so I took a few minutes to read it. The pre-pre-introduction, is titled "soon to be banned in Canada the 2008 paperback version" or something to that tune.  It sounded offensive, so I had to read it.  I got about to the part where Ontario...

It seems amazon.CA is willing to sell and ship this book to Canada. http://www.amazon.ca/America-Alone-End-World-Know/dp/1596985275/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213455411&sr=8-1 I even can get a deal if I buy it with a related book The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Islam (and the...

I just came from a Corporate Tax midterm.  I couldn't stop myself.  :warstory: Sorry to nitpick. I have a new "stupidest thing heard" At school a group of us were discussing politics, a classmate (who is black) said "I think that people in Africa need to shake off foreign influence and take...

20.00 - 3.30 = 16.70 16.70 +0.35 = 17.05 17.05 - 16.85 = 0.20 OR 20.35 - 3.30 = 17.05 17.05 -16.85 = 0.20 ---------------

A distant second for worst movie of all time would have to be Dune the 1970's version.  It was just .... (I lack the proper emoticon) ... a poor interpretation.

This thread violated Goodwin's law over 3 times by my count... but it survives - go figure :-S But it is hard not to make reference to that era since allot of our morality was shaped by the decisions made then.  Even if you're ordered to do something, you are legally responsible for your...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080530.codeserters31/BNStory/specialComment/home It looks like that motion will go through,  although in a non-binding form.  With the troubles the tories are having lately, this might be a good wedge issue.

Okay,  I've tried to not post these ... but it seems I failed. I live dt Toronto so I think I can win any "heard dumb thing said" contest, or at least stay in the contest until convention time.  On the Subway during rush hour, I'm listening to my mp3 player when I noticed everyone suddenly...

Maybe they need less mascara and no clear high heel shoes?    ;D (oh I hope none of them were in clear high heels)

I think you're talking about 'Harm Reduction'.  Which almost everyone would agree to.  The problems come with implementation.  They've done the free handouts for needles, and suddenly there are lots of needles that kids get poked on.  Solution safe injection sites - which come with lots of...

Never, it was horrible. Truly horrible!  Any film that shows prostitutes being abducted, taken to a farm and tortured and killed... I respect that "art" must push the boundaries of society, and that yes this "film" is simply mirroring events that have happened; it is still the worst film ever...

Worst movie ever: Sin City
