  1. Re:'gain a relative economical advantage'.. on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 0

    I think it would be exceptionally fair for you to give me everything you own. Actually, there should be a ministry to take it away from you and give it to me, and of course most of whatever you produce for the next year... yes, that would be the fairest thing EVER.

  2. Re:Birds really aren't that stupid... on Wind Power Falls Under $0.01/kwh · · Score: 0

    You know, one or two birds a year kill themselves on my windows. We really need to do something about the environmental scourge of glass!

  3. Wait... on Torrentocracy = RSS + Bit Torrent + Your TV · · Score: 4, Funny

    They still make TV's?

    You can get away without compromising when you're the world power, but it won't make you well-liked.

    Tell me about it! At the rate things are going, France will be the homecoming queen and Russia might not ask us to the prom! We've screwed up the whole season's social calendar! We'd better start buying lots of Hallmark cards PRONTO!

    And Syria, if you're reading this - we're really sorry if we hurt your feelings. Let's get together for ice cream. Our treat.

    And did we forget to mention that Canadians have class?

    Have you tried to get an MRI lately? It seems as if you have to be dying to get timely diagnosis as well as treatment. Living in a US border city and formerly working in health care, I can tell you that our hospitals receive a steady stream if Canadians from throughout Canada for what we consider routine diagnosis (our hospitals accept Canada's national health). Currently working in dental practices, I can tell you that Canadians come here to pay cash for services that would be paid in full at home.

    Having national health pay the bills must be great, but attending to people's financial needs isn't health care - attending to people's medical needs is. When demand so drastically outstrips supply, it's hard for me to understand how the actual quality of care can avoid degradation.
