Canadian here as well (born and raised in BC) and I'de take a job in France in a heartbeat, I love their culture and their socialist ways. Please do us all a favor and never speak for another human, ever.
never had a problem with a Costco product i guess? When you complain, want to know what their knee-jerk reaction is? Full refund, or rarely, full price credit against a similar product. I bought a 60' led tv from Costco, 9 months after i bought it, it had 4 dead pixels(no, not clustered, not even in the same quadrants). I took it back, walked out with a 63' plasma because they refunded me the full purchase price, no questions asked, they didn't even power up the TV, I just said "there's dead pixels" they took my word for it, processed the refund and I walked out with a brand new TV, under another 12 months warranty within 30 minute.
try that at future shop, bb or even Walmart, those are true big box stores, Costco is a club, and they treat their members accordingly, its actually fantastic service for only 50$ a year.
Interesting read, however Shakespeare mis-used the words, and invented some to fill gaps in the language. What gap does using the word irregardless as the word regardless fill?
I agree with the AC below and mercilessly tease people who use that word to the point they don't use it again.
Also, your inflammable argument doesn't hold water, inflammable it isn't a double negative, its just had its meaning shifted, just like a lot of other word, gay and hipster come to mind instantly. Gay once meant happy, and hipster was originally a word to describe white people who acted like black musicians.
Shifted meaning is one thing, a word against the rules of grammar is another, and I doubt you could find a word that is explicitly refuted by English grammar rules that has ended up in the dictionary as non-slang.
"Filibuster" should be illegal, 1 person should NEVER have the ability to stop the majority, just another flaw in the system you guys can work out once you get to the point of armed revolt.
Seriously, your system is broken beyond repair, time to slaughter your government like feed animals so the next bunch have the proper fear in their eyes. You should never fear your government, your government should fear its people. Hell, look at France, in the last 500 years they have cleaned house what? 4 times? 3? Their government is still terrified, and rightfully so when the people organize and demonstrate, this is because its been proven that if you piss off those people enough, you'll find your head in a guillotine.
The American government needs to learn this lesson that the euros learn a long time ago. If you piss of your citizens enough, they will kill you for it.
Credit doesn't have to be in terms of days, or even hours, I can loan you 50$ for 30 minutes, and if you don't pay me back in 30 minutes, I can sue you in civil court and win unless there's some major mitigating circumstances.
Say this with me now, There is no law that stipulates the length of credit terms, only interest rates, if I sell you an item on 30 minutes credit, and you agree to those terms, you are obligated to settle your debt within 30 minutes.
So yes, all these posts you keep replying to and disagreeing with are totally right, you're in the wrong. The downside to their scheming, is that you can say "Ok, Ill sell you this on credit, but you have to settle within 5 minutes" I agree and walk out the door with the item and never pay you, you do not have a legal method of stopping me from doing this outside of a civil court case, no criminal laws have been broken, I simply defaulted on a debt.
You can pay with cash at the financial institution that gave you the bloody amex, you know, your bank/store/Costco/pagan shrine? Did you honestly not know this?
Pay the 35$ bookkeeping fee, give the name to your government and get a copy of their birth certificate?
These are public knowledge and you have 0 privacy in regards to them, as all can be found out with government requests and few bucks paid to your local government office:
Name.
Hair Colour.
Eye Colour.
Sex.
Age.
Current and Past Address.
This is true, but if you know you like the game, and want to dive right into a 6month plan, where you have 3$ a month discount or whatever it is, the 4.99+sub option is nice.
Im actually playing through RCT3 currently, and have never had many complaints about the UI(actually only one, but thats a lack of a rotate hotkey, arguably a UI feature). The slow downs yeah, but on a modern rig I play is smooth a silk with everything maxed of course.
Ive always hated that its not a continuous story.
Ive enjoyed the following FF Games, and literally despised all others I've tried to date;
FFI (Dragon Warrior with 4 characters, yaye!)
FFII (Super Nintendo American version)
FFIII (Super Nintendo American version)
FFVII (PS1 NA Version)
FFI i don't even remember the story, It was literally just dragon warrior with more characters to me(I was like 10)
FFII the storyline grabbed me and even now I go back and play it, same with FFIII and VII The other the storyline was drab, the worlds seemed disjoined from the FF worlds i grew up with a loved,
My point? The series already died to alot of us old gamers, a long long time ago in a console far far away.
Did you read your link? That law is Union centric and the wiki article doesn't even touch on driver licensing/banning. The impression i got from reading it, is that is had absolutely nothing to do with getting yourself banned from driving via drunk driving.
The Right to Work laws seem like a way or basically ignoring a Union. Legally.
Of course not. Your analogy is as stupid as these nanny state laws are.
This is the core of the problem, the laws are 'nanny' laws, when they should be, bubba with the shotgun keeping you in line laws. Get caught while texting? 10 years banned from private vehicles, yes, not just driving, you are not allowed the privilege of entering another vehicle outside of public transport until you get it through your head that they are over sized weapons, and treat them with the respect they deserve.
There a reason why no one fucking steals in countries that lop off your hand, maybe if all laws were just as draconian, we would have a nice society, and yes im willing to trade freedom for the ability to walk down the street knowing im not about to a) get shot, b) get hit by a drunk/texting driver.
You may not be able to keep a human in line with idealism with a kind word, but if you smack them with a bat and point a gun in their face. They behave.
And what happens when you contact the owner and he says "Its not ours, we're not missing a phone" then you sell it, but are somehow found guilty? Judges need to get out of the bloody corporations pocket.

No, we make you play goal with no mask.

You don't have to look far for an example either, Google "brazil kidnapping"

No, no it shouldn't, I also stopped reading at "irregardless."

You're right, we vote with lead at that point.
That doesn't mean qualified to me, that means out of touch with modern technologies and culture.
Ide rather be judged by a 30 year old, with minimal law experience, who hasn't been corrupted by the system.
There you go, it does have a place, it just isn't easily reached.

Its funny, I'm 32 and still haven't seen that movie. I never will just for the sheer look on peoples faces when I tell them I haven't seen it.
That definition was debunked when half of your states didn't let the other half leave the union peacefully. Your a war-mongering country now :)

VK was hands down the best game i played in the last decade. I still go back and S-Star levels for fun.

Like the footage when SARS was going around, and 1 in 3 were actually sick? /gasp
