Normally this could be a case of rights to free speech vs harm caused by people saying stupid things.  This doesn't come even close to being that.  If she was in Canada,  she would be subject to many many laws.  As a foreigner she could be "black bagged" and held indefinitely, without trial...

It seems ... interesting...  Kinda a Mad Magazine meets Rush Limbaugh... http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff/133386  <-- Now that's a real right wing website! http://www.cafepress.com/cp/moredetails.aspx?showBleed=false&ProductNo=54368900&colorNo=0&pr=F  Is my standby favorite.

nej means nej!  (a sexual assault is wrong regardless of the gender of the attacker) (I think that was my ver first one line responce!  Whoo!)

Sad story.  When the Libs and Bloc were pulling the Jerry-Springer high school "you are dating someone who dated someone gingy" I took great pleasure in that I didn't know a single person who thought it was appropriate for them to do so.  (I even asked strangers on the subway, and people I knew...

Oh come on,  a thread about Germans, nudity and things being offered... and other people commenting about being naked,  how could this thread not get allot of attention :-)  :warstory:

"Is that you Henderson?  I can't see the sun is in my eyes..... oh you think I'm saluting... ah quite right"

It was not my intention to inflame emotions or upset anyone.  But I just saw a few pages of "send the cowards home" and people agreeing.  While I do understand it is a legitimate position (one taken by the courts and government of Canada) I've found though that when there is no debate on the...

(This is a playfull post - I really consider this a non-issue, the courts have ruled, but I do enjoy a bit of bardic back and forth, especially when I'm on the loosing side.) I love your tag line of: Palma Non Sine Pulvere But I love what comes right afterwards...  vilius argentum est auro...

Wow,  a few responses.  I'm not here to stir the pot,  but I didn't see anyone raising the other side of the issue in any real way - and it is like chewing on tinfol when I see people refusing to explore different points on an issue. I'll deal with the last point first.  FastEddy , I believe...

The major argument for motivation for a flat tax is that very high income earners would pay substantially lower amounts in tax than they do in a proportional system.  If the same amount of tax needs to be collected, this simply means that the lowest income earners and the middle class would...

On a BMQ course,  my section had fire picket for the night.  The Cpl was explaining what to do and the such and then listed a long list of things we'd come wake up the staff for.  He then said "when doing your patrolls, stay away from where we are sleeping, you'll wake us up" A pte in my...

Could you please explain how a flat tax would allow one to save money?  If you're talking about how higher income earners would have to pay much less in taxes, and therefor would be able to invest more and create jobs.  That is a version of "trickle down theory" ( ...

Interesting read,  ...  tendentious, but interesting.  I think the mission in Afghanistan is legitimate and proper. I think there was a real threat, and that NATO forces moved in with the authority of the UN. I think that while progress is slower than what people hope for, progress is being...

But if you are able to defer paying the taxes,  you'd be able to use the money you'd pay in taxes to earn more money.  Then with that money use that money to make more money etc.  Lets say you're getting 10% return and you've invested $14,400 (which is around what Canadians owe on National...

A flat tax could mean many things,  but I think you guys are referring to the opposite of a progressive tax.  A progressive tax taxes higher levels of income more than lower income amounts. An example most of us know:    http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/individuals/faq/taxrates-e.html 15% on the...

I don't think the Bloc is the only political party.... in blue that thinks Quebec is a nation.... or basically "more than a province". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6174986.stm

Okay I haven't posted on here for a while. First,  I am glad no one invoked Goodwin's law.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law  Anytime anyone makes a comparison to WW2 Nazi's etc, that person looses and the thread is dropped. Secondly there is a good point to be made that when one...

I had a moment on Gerrard street,  in little India.  I heard a daughter yelling at her mom (my Hindi is perty bad,  so I didn't get much of it at all) Then the Father tried to calm them both down and before I knew it BANG BANGA BANG BANG.... I was in the middle of a musical number.  It was...

I took the test thinking I would get John McCain ... Wow I got all Democrats.  And not even the moderate democrats,  the freaky ones no one has heard of too!

I spent 2 minutes trying to figure out which language she was speaking.... then I realised it really was English :-S I do like the tune though,  although no barrel discipline
