Oh you're not the only one, but for me it's a different reason. There's simply nothing on. I own a TV, it's 15 years old, it's a hand me down from my parents who thought I needed one. I think I turned it on last about 5 years ago, I'm pretty sure it still works. But, what's broken? It's not the TV, it's what's on TV.
Why should you interpret the constitution? Being that it's a founding document, what should be done is it should be the guiding principal. It should remain as it is. Laws should be tested, and the laws be tested against the constitution. You get into no type of serious fuckups when you interpret a founding document, because you go from "this document says, in the intention of the framers" to "this document says, in the intention of the state."
This is generally how was test law in Canada. It works well, very well. That's not to say there aren't serious fuckups from time to time either, but it can always end back at the supreme court.
Give it 6 hours for a group of people to throw a hissy fit over what they read, and it'll be -0 troll or flamebait. You know much like how my post is 'offtopic' when it's not.
If you're Canadian, then you already know that we're not managing two languages at all. Quebec has "one language for us," just shy of outright banning english, with their own anti-english police force. Some provinces in Canada are english only, except federal government services. And a couple of provinces are English and french. Though most have bilingual services. It was far from politics in the 80's, in fact the original point of the 80's referendum was to deliberately twist and lie when making the question in order to force a sovereignty issue. Which is why it went all the way to the SCC, that ruled that the original question was null and void, and any future questions must follow the 3 point rule aka the patriation rule.
That you think it's politics, means you have less of an understanding of national sovereignty issues than you think.
I'd say he get's it based on reality. If you live in Canada, you already know what he says is true. Then again the only reason why quebec sticks around is because the feds give them large sums of money. And the last time we had a national referendum on it, was just shy of the country at large telling Quebec to piss off and go away. That was after the ambiguous question to try and force separation.
That question was: ""The Government of Quebec has made public its proposal to negotiate a new agreement with the rest of Canada, based on the equality of nations; this agreement would enable Quebec to acquire the exclusive power to make its laws, levy its taxes and establish relations abroad â" in other words, sovereignty â" and at the same time to maintain with Canada an economic association including a common currency; any change in political status resulting from these negotiations will only be implemented with popular approval through another referendum; on these terms, do you give the Government of Quebec the mandate to negotiate the proposed agreement between Quebec and Canada?"
And just so you know, yes means you want separation.
I guess you don't have much of a clue, or understand the history of Suzuki's green agenda, or how this is just a continuing of a trend. I'll wait for you to go read through 30+ years of fear and scare tactics, I'm patient.
I guess you didn't see Suzuki's scare campaign come out today, where he said that the poles are melting and unless you and your kids throw him money. Santa and his reindeer will drown. What? Don't believe me? http://www.wherewillsantalive.ca/ he's just another fearmonger, who's been scaring kids since I was in gradeschool in Canada. And that's nearly 30 years ago.
The northwest passage has always been a viable trade route. Anyone who things otherwise has been listening to warmists spout off that we've never used it. I'll give you three guesses as to why Canada and Russia have so many ice breakers up there.
. Most people don't really need massive HDDs and so if smaller SSDs get cheap enough that'll be the way they'll go.
What are you talking about? Well I guess if you don't game for your relaxation then you don't need a small HDD. My steam folder, which has about 30% of the titles I own installed comes out at a toasty 280GB. That's not inducing games that aren't installed there. Figuring in those, I'm easily pushing 540GB. And that's still not even half of my collection.
What you're talking about, the tyranny of the majority. Is commonly known as group-think in discussions, where people try to ensure that there's one specific kind of information that people should know, and dissenting views shouldn't be heard at all, especially if they're unpopular.
The problem with/. is, if you have a pov, and it goes against the opinions of everyone else. You can expect to see yourself modded down, simply because it's unpopular even if true. I experience it often enough, if I cared, well I would. But I don't. "Shouting" someone down by moderation because you don't like what they say, is the mark of the intellectual coward.
Obviously we need to create a giant P2P/anonymously indexed search engine with this type of shit going on. I honestly expect that various EU countries will be the next to push for SOPA type legislation to keep the commoners in check as the entire EU disintegrates, and the powers that be at the top try to grab more, and bring everyone more fully under their control like greece and italy.
Could you tell me where this is, so I can avoid doing business there? Because where I live, a document with a digitally signed signature, has the same legal weight as a fax with a signature. As long as they're both certified as true. The main reason is....government has long moved to email, fax is a backup. And email retentions are 20 years live, on an indefinite backup.
You know, you're right. After reading TFA, you're even more right. Then again, I normally don't stick anything like wi-fi antenna's next to my sack. But considering the fetishes of some people out there, I'm sure this will be the next hot thing.
Bet you've never been to alberta in your life either, or visited one of those sites after they've finished the cleanup either. We don't use tailings ponds anymore.
Fun fact: Solyndra was the first of about 5 other 'green' energy companies that got Obama's crony capitalism touch. It's a partisan pissing contest alright, the problem is you just don't realize how corrupt Obama really is.
Is it now? Well I agree to a point. Though bailing out some industries can be alright if done correctly. Done wrong, you're just making a mess. Then again, California the bastion of entitlements and the left has been doing this so long, have so many taxes, and have caused so many businesses to flee that they'll probably be the first state to declare bankruptcy.
Shh. You're going to point out that throwing money into a large barrel and burning it, then repeating the process for every entitlement project is a good idea.
Funny that, because the left's motto is 'tolerance' which equates to: How little we will tolerate you at all. Bullshit is subjective, the GP's post in itself is hyperbole with a dash of myopic arrogance.

You know, we had a discussion just the other day about group-think and the /. condition where people making good comments are shouted down. The GP is yet another example of this.

David Suzuki is that you? Out to scare more children I see.

Until SSD's get past the 200GB corruption problem HDD's won't be going anywhere fast.
Study was flawed, and has already been debunked in several other papers. Feel free to use google.

Why is this +5 insightful? I guess the 'tolerant' left is showing it's usual caring in the views of others.
