I think that the site was changed since I last took it a couple of years ago I read about it in the junk magazine that I got when I had my Sympatico ADSL account. The test claimed that moved to the left considerably since I did the test, but in reality I think I have moved toward the centre. I feel less rigid in my views, and am willing to look at conservative economic ideas like thinking government surpluses are a good thing. I just bought a house and like the idea of lower taxes, don't want my house expropriated and want the pigs^h^h^h^hpolice there if someone tries to break in.
I love Vicki Pollard! I wonder what a North American version of her would be like. Little Britain just slays me, especially the "Only Gay in the Village". It's one of those shows that you kind of cringe at but can't help laughing at.
Denmark
Area: 43,077 sq. km, (26,773 sq. miles) Greatest distances-east-west, 402 km; north south, 362 km. Coastline- 1,701 km (1,057 miles).
USA
Based on a mapquest search, from Grand Falls Maine to San Diego California, the distance is 5314.92 km.
If you take a car with reasonable gas milage (for North America at least) 9L/100km, you would use 85L or 22.3 US Gallons of gasoline. At $5.50/gallon, it would cost 122.65 to cross Denmark.
To cross the US, which is not the largest country in North America, you would use up 590L or 155 US Gallons. At 2.23 per gallon, (the price I paid in Massena NY last weekend) it would cost you 345.65 to cross the US.
Therefore (faulty logic coming up), despite gas costing more in Denmark, it is still cheaper to use your can there because you don't have as far to drive.
I have a no-cd crack for my X-Box. It's called a mod-chip. The guy who took care of my X-box put a lot of games on it, but the only games I play are the ones I bought. No sane person needs 90 X-box games, especially since a lot of them are bad, i mean really bad, but I have them anyhow.
The truth is, I use my X-box more for watching videos and tv shows, especially with the wireless remote.
Yes, in Detroit, you need to keep your eyes on your pop cans. I had a work-related meeting at the Archdiocese of Detroit on Michigan Avenue. Anyhow, I got there early, and had bought a drink. I put my 3/4 finished drink down for a second, got up, stretched and when I sat down again, the can was gone. It was funny. I was dumb enough to leave my purse on the bench and it didn't disappear.
BS. Pay when the bill arrives and this will never be a problem. If they do charge you a late fee (because they are crooked or because you were late that ONE time...) call them and say "take it off please" and they will. If they don't say "cancel please" then they will.
I owe you a meal or a drink. I have a US store credit card. A mail problem caused a delay. (Well, I was late mailing the envelope, the money order sat on my desk for 3 weeks). Anyhow, there was a $25 late fee. Considering the balance on the card was $50, it was excessive. I called, asked for it to be removed, and "Robert is one your parent's brothers" or something like that, the charge was reversed.
Although Queen of England and the Queen of Canada is the same person, the role of monach for both realms are independent and however unlikely, can be filled by different people.
For example, if Charles decides he wants to be a Roman Catholic, he would lose his ability to be King (Since the Monarch is the head of the Church of England [Anglican/Episcopalian])*, he/she cannot be of a different religion. Since Canada does not have a state religion, and a Charter of Rights that bars discrimination based on religion, it is possible. Canada could, if it wanted to, follow a different path than that of the UK.
Is it worth the government's time, effort and headache to do something as silly as this? No.

* The Act of Settlement, 1701 (UK) bars a Roman Catholic from being King or Queen.
PS. I am not a lawyer, I don't want to be one. I won't recommend one either,
They elected Tony Blair. Due to the nature of Westminster Style Parliaments, you essentially have an elected King (at least for five years). This leaves the hereditary Queen free to tour her realms and try not to appear bored meeting people in the hinterlands. A party can win a majority with 30-40% of the popular vote. With a strong party whip and a majority in the House of Commons the elected King can force Parliament to pass any legislation he wants. Also, during his reign, Parliament has either passed or planning legislation to reduce the power of the House of Lords. (Items that come to mind are devolution to Scotland & N. Ireland, removal of hereditary peers, creation of a Supreme Court [removal of Law Lords] etc). In addition, I am not sure how selection of candidates for individual ridings work, but I assume that a leader can keep individual MPs in line by refusing to allow them to run for the party in the next election if they dissent.
As much as I am not totally happy with the choice of the UK (it doesn't matter, my family left England), Mr Blair was the pick of the litter box.
hmmm interesting point. I got hooked on Midnight Club 3 for the XBOX. I don't know why, the whole idea of schnazzing up a car doesn't appeal to me, but racing ans smashing into anything in site is great, kind of like GTA without the missions. Anyhow, I got a wireless controller that just sucked batteries and I thought it was broken because when I hit nitro, I lose control of the car.
They have great selection and consistent pricing whether you are in downtown Toronto or Ottawa or some small northern town. Plus, by having the provincial government making piles 'o cash, it reduces our taxes. Ontario liquor and beer stores are clean and well organised with knowledgeable people working in them.
I realise that these organisations were created when Ontario was much more conservative and uptight place, but the net result is better than leaving it to the distributor cartels that seem to be operating in many US states. I am not sure if the LCBO ships.
I remember one party when I was much younger, I think I was on medications, because I didn't drink much, but I got drunk and sick on Australian Chardonnay. I made a fool of myself and think I danced to ABBA music.
Now I'll stick to French, Canadian, German and South African wines.
I'm sure it's also mentioned that they own Camelot, the place where I get my Slackware boxed sets. I prefer to buy through a Canadian retailer so I don't get hit with taxes and customs brokers fees before I can collect my cds. Are there other retailers in Canada that sell Slackware that are not so nasty?
It's not just America and it's not just corporate. The mission statement of the organisation I work for is "Serving Canadians". We really don't serve Canadians, we serve the Queen. If a Canadian calls for service, our canned response is see a private practicioner.

I would make a bad lawyer, so I did not become one.
It would be interesting if two parts of the constitution were in conflict with one another.

The UK forgave the US. Why can't the US forgive Cuba?

Holland is very small. Why can't someone just bicycle over to Prance, Belgium or Germany to get their royalty-free hard drives?
I think you missed the one about only older people in Korea ...
PS. Camelot also spams their clients, bastiches.
As a Canadian, I say keep your crappy TV show. We'll just watch re-runs of Kids in the Hall.

Tupac is dead? You're joking.
If it's a trademark issue, then what about Manspire? This time I know the domain is available.
d'oh. I misread the search....genspire.com is taken.
If you ware smart, you could call your Gentoo clone Genspire. The domains do not seem to be taken.
If I was smart, I would have registered those domains and stole your idea.
