I have a family member directly affected by one of the recent CN derailments and I can tell you, when things turn to an ideology of for profit (by all means) things always are worse for consumers.
Already I'm paying for them selling Ontario Hydro. Apparently privatizing energy would cause competition. Instead costs tripled and the government handed over monopoly to big business. Guess what political party was in power when that happened.....
Universities are another example. I feel really sorry for anybody who has to deal with the exploitation to the south with regards to education. It's been so hard for me to get my education up here, I could not imagine paying as much as they do.
Efficiency is almost always a product of profits, with regards to business. Since government programs aren't driven by profit they are not as efficient. Certain things however, are not meant to be efficient or profit driven. This includes peoples lives.

Evolution is scientific fact. Absolutely nothing in religion can be stated as fact as it is not adaptive but absolute. Your idea of reality is obsolete my friend.
You are free to exist in whatever reality you choose, but once it affects me, or my children, I will intervene.
I submitted the CBC coverage of the bill: "Alberta passes law allowing parents to pull kids out of class. Written notice required when sex, sexual orientation, religion are covered." http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&id=4724247
I submitted it under censorship because that is what it is. You are trying to censor people from the facts to further your agenda.
If your beliefs are so rock solid then why must you always institute censorship.
Any scientist would see the inherit problem of a person graduating from biology without understanding or belief of the fact of evolution.
If you want to limit the future of your children you are doing a very good job of it. These theories are fact, whether in a biology curriculum or a gender study curriculum. Certainly parents are not setting their children up for post secondary education. What they are setting them for is hate, towards their parents. When they realize their god doesn't exist, and their whole life is a lie, they will have nobody to blame other than oppressive parents.
"Obama would never offend his oil-buddies from the House of Sa'ud."
Considering the criticism other games with similar premises get. I find it quite reasonable that this project would be in need of, at the very least an overhaul.
Other things wrong with it include the idea that a government would provide free games to further recruitment or it's agenda.
I think if Obama has anything to do with the end of the game as it is, it would be over the social implications of the game rather than angry Saudi Arabians.
Shit I forgot if you bad mouth FOX news on slashdot it is considered flamebait? WTF? Seriously, if you are that passionate about FOX news you must work for them. FOX has been the basis for jokes for since their inception. Including jokes by FOX shows themselves.
I find a hard time believing people without some sort of agenda would mod these posts the way they did.
Dumbasses who actually got conned by this were all Republicans. These guys had to have a few people be dumb enough to fall for this, otherwise they wouldn't be so big.
Youtubes demise? Deleting full episodes, editing comments, deleting controversial videos and muting personal videos.
Wikipedia? Going from a user generated non bias global collaborative encyclopedia to just an encyclopedia.
Once these companies get big enough, the always revert back to standard business models. This however is always completely against what made them so good to begin with, youtube became famous for the very content they now destroy, and pay people to seek out.
I knew one that would give "false positives" anytime the cop/instructor would give a signal. That way even if the dog doesn't actually sniff anything you are fair game for a warrant less search. Wait I know I few....
Well friend, some people go offroad as a hobby. Some people go off road because they need to. If you live in rough terrain this becomes a means of living. Same goes for gaming. I am looking to get a 120hz monitor (when they come out) and a pair of 3d Glasses from Nvidia. This card is going to be absolutely necessary for my day to day gaming, same as my 4x4 for getting in my 2 mile long driveway.
I grew up in Government Housing and where my mom still lives. I think the problem with these areas is far less the police but the people that live there. Gotta love getting robbed at gunpoint while Jamaicans call you yellowskin.(Happened 4 times)Who is the racist now?
Lets not forget the Blue Dot.... Apparently if Americans take an interest in a sport they must change the rules and add blue dots in order for it to be accepted.
American: "Man this is much easier to watch with a blue dot on the puck"
Canadian: "WTF is this FU@king blue dot, is this a joke. Saddle up the moose we are paying FOX a visit."
I am gonna openly admit, that once upon a time I have done cocaine. So this is purely from personal experience.
But any night we would do coke we would buy a case of Red Bull and start chugging them early. When we would actually get to the snorting business it seemed to level out the heart rate as it was already up from the Red Bull. So in other words it would stop that sudden RAPID increase in the heart. Seems to level out the buzz a bit as well, less HIGHS then LOWS.

I am glad that you brought up mandatory minimums. It would appear as though they have the summer to mull over the bill.
Alberta's law against sane education and basically the whole state of affairs up here is certainly a cause for election.
After the liberal vote on mandatory minimums it would appear that the only party supporting legalization is the NDP.
However, unfortunately step 1 is getting the conservatives out of power.

I was waiting for that, welcome to google....
Better idea.

WTF is that? What the nursing home uses as coasters instead of Cd's?
Thus the enigma of giving somebody mod points for being funny.

Well frankly I don't give a shit. We are respected around the world and are quietly proud of our country. America, not so much respected.
Example: Americans wearing Canadian flags on backpacks abroad.
Not so funny meow is it.

Cocaine is only as evil as you let it become.
Not scientists, scientologists.
