Well the US is one of the few countries in the world that doesn't reprocess it's nuclear waste. In fact you guys ship your plutonium to Canada so we can make nuclear fuel for reactors. Seriously? Time to kick environmentalists in the face when they fuck everything up for everyone else based on fear mongering.
Odd. I seem to remember that the average unemployment rate during Bush's tenure was between 4 and 7% for the entire 8 years. While under Obama's time, not only has it gone up by an extra 2.5% with poor growth but he's tacked on more debt in his first 3mo, then Bush did in 8.
Here's the thing, it wasn't tax cuts that were the problem. Rather it was government organizations like Freddie and Fannie who were lending to poor prospects, and the feds forcing the banks to do the same. The initial implosion of the housing market created the ripple. And until the US has it's financial straights in order(such as not lending to people who can't afford it), you'll continue to repeat this massive fuck-up.
What the hell are you talking about? We have lake effect snow here in Ontario in excess of 150cm in a day. There's places where 300cm for a weekend snow fall can happen. You know what happens? Life goes on, basic services continue, and people get around doing stuff they still have to do.
In my home town, if we see 100cm overnight, major core streets will be cleared by the following afternoon, and side streets will be clear by the following day, if not sooner. The only time I've things come to a complete standstill here is when the snow is falling so heavily that clearing equipment can't remove it safely. Or someone in Toronto thinks that 25cm of snow is a reason to call out the army. Actually I laughed pretty hard when europeans were whining over 10 or 20cm of snow. That's like a light dusting where I live.
Maybe Canadians are just hardier people. Or maybe it's that we've always lived with this "extreme" weather.
So we have misleading headlines, and misleading stuff by Geist again. Big shock. Here's the thing, we don't have net neutrality rules in Canada. There are voluntary guidelines. And people got 'upset' and threw a hissyfit the last time the conservatives were going to rip the mandate away from the CRTC on internet related stuff.
And yet the CRTC is continuing the status-quo. So what's the problem fellow Canucks? You want one, but don't want anyone to do anything about it. And you don't want those 'evil conservatives' to remove the mandate but you want the CRTC scrapped.
You blow my fucking mind.
I suppose the upside is old Von Cough(Konrad von Finckenstein), will be gone in a little bit with a new chairman.
Wikipedia is neither accurate nor correct. You only need to pay attention to what they're saying now and in supported by the majority, which is that they're islamic supremacists.
And 'violence' from them is akin to the various 'splinter' factions of Hamas and Hizbullah. Both are terrorist groups for a reason, and pretending to sanction one group off, while still funneling money to the other to carry out direct attacks against civilians, doesn't change the fact that they're funding attacks against civilians.
I'll bet you're one of those folks that thinks that the muslim brotherhood is a secular organization that isn't hell bent on imposing sharia law, and turning back the clock on womens rights by 800 years either. Oh and murdering, torturing, and killing christians while burning down their churches on the 'rumor' that they're building a church.
None. 10-15 years and China will be experiencing what Europe and the US are. Slowing economy, high local debt and foreign debt. China is the hot shit right now, but most if it's GDP is coming from local manufacturing where the party is throwing money hand over fist for them to spend on things like...ghost cities, and all that.
And there's no real shortage of news stories about the number of cities with no one to next to no one in them. Here's a good one by SBS. The real problem is china is still operating on a 3 tier structure for economics, and the poor bastards at the bottom are still at the very bottom eeking out life as dirt farmers.
I've never worn a watch, hell I've never owned a cellphone for a period longer than about a month. I generally plan if I need to be somewhere, be 10-20mins early. Then again shaving is a pile of shit, I'd rather have a well groomed beard then shave every fucking day.
Stupid ass british aristocrat telling people that 'shaving your face' is manly. Pft.
I wasn't exactly clear. But you'll be happy to know that in norway all of last years rapes were by non-westerners. And nearly 3/4's of them used islam as a reason why they could, and did rape.
Funny that. You'd better tell those non-believers who were cutting off, raping, and burning down churches over in norway, malaysia, egypt, and india(as a starting example). That it's because it's "things your government has done" instead of it being because of the masses of intolerant muslims.
Terrorists have been using it long before then. The palestinians were doing it back in early 2000's, and muslims in pakistan and the philippines have been doing it since mid 2000's. That doesn't even touch on the terrorists strapping remote explosives, or using using the mentally handicapped as walking bombs either. They've been doing the first more recently, 2 cases of schoolgirls. One in India, and another in Afghanistan. And the latter for nearly a decade as well.
Actually it hasn't worked in every other recession. Rather because most of the western world uses Keynesian economics for it's foundation, one of it's main requirements is to throw money to the wind to try 'spending itself out'. Rather than working on the fundamental understanding that boom and busts are cyclical action based on how it all works.
Correlation != Causation. Even less so in this case. Feel free to take a look at oh any number of plotted graphs of the current or previous downturns. Oddly the only time where it has worked, or seemed to was during Regan's tenure, and that was because Carter had dug a hole so deep, the only place to go was up. Which is what it will be like in 2012/13.
Right, I guess the majority of people who take apprenticeships are doing it wrong. Your average apprentice for the first 3 years makes under the min. wage just about everywhere in north america. When I was working on my mechanics license, I was making $2.25/hr when the min wage was $6.85. My 'base rate of pay' would have been at min. wage after 3 years.
Yeah nothing quite like having to spend 60% of your wages just on tools.
Ah Kos. The bastion of fringe leftwing non-journalism. Go into debt, then try to spend your way out of it, using other people's money. Let me know how that works okie? Even loan sharks eventually break your bones for failure to pay.
Ask anyone born before 1985 and they'll tell you that the transition is still going on. I was born in 1977 and I still see how people are getting screwed day in, day out, with regards to the metric/imperial change over.
Metric is a terrible system for the average consumer though. It might use a base10 system which makes it easy, but there's no connect to the actual state, size or weight to an item. And it encourages companies to shrink packaging and charge the same price. Happened in Canada when we switched. Package size stayed the same, content dropped by 30% price jumped by 15%. And don't get the older folks started on fuel prices, when they jumped nearly 40% overnight when they switched from gal(3.75L) to litre.
Roundabouts themselves? It depends. In some locations they're as bad as redlight cameras causing more accidents and impeding traffic flow. In others they help solve serious problems with basic traffic flow. In themselves they're a double edged sword, and if you don't use them properly you only shoot yourself in the face.

I know the force exists. Everyone knows you can use it to crush someones throat. Our hero Darth Vader has done it several dozen times.
Sounds fine to me. But only if they touch my junk, then I get to be the one cutting, sawing and ramming the endoscope into them.
High strength steel/titanium/etc-metal saws will do as well, since they use a fluid to cut down on heat, chips, and fracturing while cutting.
Why the arrogant belief that all things are the same, and the obvious conclusion wasn't at the end. I'll wait for you to figure it out.

Nope. He promoted it, but there was a british asshat who went as far as to getting a royal decree to force men to shave.
I've never worn a watch, hell I've never owned a cellphone for a period longer than about a month. I generally plan if I need to be somewhere, be 10-20mins early. Then again shaving is a pile of shit, I'd rather have a well groomed beard then shave every fucking day.

If you're under 40 nothing is stopping you from going into a trade now.

No. Because in the EU questioning it's directives is dangerous.
