  3. It's Our Penance on Canada No Pirate Nation: Global Leader In Music Download Sales · · Score: 5, Funny

    As a Canadian, I think I can speak for the country when I say that the reason we're a global leader in music download sales is that we feel so damn guilty for pirating all that stuff that we make amends by buying it.

    Plus, how else can we push Justin Bieber to the top? Don't tell me non-canucks actually purchase his stuff, too?

    We're just so damn polite. Sorry for the cuss words.

    Oh, c'mon, this is an obvious google-troll/ms-astroturfer. First post, perfect grammer, same timestamp. Just substitute M$ (heh) for subway, and google for girlfriend, and you have your proof.

    ...except that adultery only seemed to apply if the female was married. The Bible mentions that David had quite a few concubines when he moved into the house of Jerusalem.

    In Canada, you're issued a Social Insurance Number, SIN, which is similar in nature to the SSN.

    By law, only the Govt, employers and financial institutions may request your SIN (this is from memory, so there may be one or two others)
