This government doesn't believe in regulating business so why would they force businesses to be fair? More likely they'll make it illegal to complain about any business that rounds the wrong way.
And this government (Canadian) will pass a law illegalizing not charging convenience fees as it's bad for business. They're building jails as quick as they can just for people like you who want to undermine business by competing.
Shit, just give them a pay and pension decrease. They can happily have a policy of average people having decreasing wages (figuring in inflation) but they deserve regular wage increases as well as their golden pension that kicks in after 6 years IIRC.
As long as it is regular people absorbing the cost then it is a win for the conservatives. Pro-business, remember as a successful business will always share their profits [gr]
I often have American change in my pocket including Quarters. They're treated the same as Canadian money though not sure about vending machines and pay phones seem to be all gone. The worse was a while back when someone slipped me a Greek coin, 50 somethings dated 1990, instead of a loonie. That was a dollar lost.
This is Canada, we now have a conservative government who wouldn't dream of regulating business in such a way that might benefit consumers and sure enough all they've done is decided to stop making pennies, it's up to business to decide how to rip people off, with the blessings of the government. I still can't believe these assholes who are out to destroy everything nice about Canada, got voted a majority (38%).
Huh? Herbicide is a subset of pesticide. It kills pesty weeds, with a weed being a plant growing where it is unwanted. And for safety, glyphosate is usually considered safe though there are reports of a couple of 100 ml causing death. The real danger is in the surfactants used to help the glyphosate penetrate the waxy cell covering. These aren't covered by the FDA as they aren't an active ingredient. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyphosate#Effects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundup_(herbicide)#Toxicity
We lose the ability (enzymes) to metabolise milk properly.
Some do. But the majority don't.
The majority of Humans lose the ability to digest lactose at 4-6 years old. This varies by race, ranging from N. Europeans being mostly able to digest lactose to close to 0% of Native Americans. Lactase persistence is a recent evolution driven by keeping animals for milk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase_persistence#Global_spread
The difference between a successful thief and a failed thief. If Germany had succeeded in stealing the rest of Europe then they may well have a larger GDP then the US now.
Also Native American Indians and Canadian First Nations (50%+ blood) are allowed to cross the border and work etc by terms of various treaties starting with the Jay treaty.
My son is autistic. Didn't talk until 6 and still has lots of problems. The one thing that we did at 6 years old was to remove all diary from his diet. After this he calmed right down (used to take 2 strong men to handle a 5 year old), started talking, going to the bathroom on his own and various other improvements. The days he come home acting like his old self always turned out to be days when someone fed him diary. Diary is one food that the vast majority of people can not digest properly. Especially certain races (my wife is Native American) and I've never felt good when drinking milk. This raises the question, does diet make things such as autism worse? I'm not aware of any studies done on it but there are quite a few people who have reported good results from changing diet. The problem is the diary farmers have very good marketing and most people are convinced that milk is a vital part of the diet. They also have a powerful lobby. Wheat is another one that may be worth some studying.
One good way to win elections is to influence the oppositions leadership convention to get an unlikeable leader voted in. Fairly easy now a days with many leadership conventions open to the masses (just need to sign up ) and even easier with electronic voting.
Do you really think that the private prison industry would be better? As it is America now beats out China when it comes to slave prison labour and private enterprise continuously pushes for harsher sentences.
I've read 3 of the Fleet of Worlds. While the writing is obviously mostly the co-writer, some of the story arcs are interesting if you've read most of the "known space" stories as you get some of the same stories from totally different points of view.
Not just Americans. All my life I've felt the biggest immediate threat to my freedoms has been the American government and things have just gotten worse in the 40 years I've been paying attention.
He seems to believe that only people banned from Walmart should not be allowed to vote. I'll note in my country voting is a right held by all citizens (only right that is limited to citizens) except the guy in charge of elections and his chief assistant. They did volunteer for their position and are free to quit and vote.
Really, designed to de-orbit and land on Earth solely with retros? That means they'll be taking as much fuel into orbit as it takes to get to orbit with no re-entry capability. Besides I can't imagine how they could bypass the atmosphere to land solely on retros. No matter what, Earths atmosphere is going to slow down the Dragon, potentially to terminal velocity. As I remember, Dragon is designed to use retros for the last stage of landing. It is hard to decelerate from 25,000+ MPH (18,000 for low Earth orbit), to zero without some help from atmosphere braking.
The default search in Thunderbird 11 has changed (really quickly too, between bug opening and closing, just a couple of hours) to using Bing as the default search.
The really hard part is arriving at Mars with a way to safely land. Mars is one of the hardest bodies to land on. Too much gravity for a rocket powered landing like they did at the Moon and too little atmosphere to use aerobraking like they do for landing on Earth or Venus.
Nudity == nudity not porn. It is our natural state and nothing to be ashamed of.
If you're going to bring up what's natural, it's also natural to be ashamed of being naked.
Actually it's a learned response to be ashamed of being naked and often takes quite a bit of conditioning to create that shame though it is usually done at an early enough age that as adults we forget about it.
Although now that I think about it, is it even possible to go to mars and back in one trip, or do you HAVE to wait at Mars for planetary alignment every time?
Not with todays tech and I don't think there is anything on the horizon that'll help much.
Remember the first shuttle failed due to be flown out side of specs so doesn't really count. Any man rated vehicle will crash/blow up if flown far enough out of spec and for something as complicated as a space ship it often doesn't have to be too far from spec. The spec here being, "Don't fly in freezing weather"
It doesn't matter who did it. If enough people didn't vote in some ridings due to the Robocalls then those elections are null and void and there needs to be bye-elections in those ridings. If there are enough of those ridings that the bye-elections could remove the Conservatives majority then Royal Assent should be withheld on all bills until after the bye-elections.
OK, I agree with your definition of free speech, being free to criticize the powers that be, which is a larger set then government. What I don't agree with is the buggy whip manufactures being able to illegalize industries that compete against them and remove the vote from them that object in real way (not speech, but action). If the buggy whip manufactures can buy a law illegalizing owning a car and call it a felony therefore removing the right for the felon to vote to change the law that is not right and the opposite of a democracy in my opinion.
The rich, especially in the States, have the ability to decide who the candidates are and the people get to decide basically on Pepsi vs Coke when people would actually like some water. Also when an election campaign needs millions of dollars to succeed, the rich have a lot of pull.
