You know us Canadians can daytrip that shzz right?

THANK YOU FOR ALLOW CHINMAN TO POST

That's racist AND sizeist

I like the "Will Belay for Food" one better myself. More true to life.

That's anti-Semitic!

Fred Beckey must be pissed off at this poseur Fred Becky that has been following him like glue throughout his career.

Therefore, this girl's father must have been trying to help his daughter attain No-mind.

Scott expedition, like Mallory and Irvine, or the Franklin expedition, failed fatally. Fuck them. Glorify the winners, the ones who got back alive, not the losers.

Jay, those are red herrings. Overall murder rate is not child abuse rate. Rough justice is not killing your baby. Stick to the topic.

Stephen Pinker has a really interesting new book out whic hlooks at issues like this. Podcast link here: http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=steven-pinker-violence-is-lower-tha-11-10-18 Good book review here; http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-decline-of-violence

JayB, your post reminds me of the bit in Bowling for Columbine where the guy is talking to Moore about why the US has a much higher rate of gun violence than does Canada despite similar rates of gun ownership and the guy hems and haws for a while and then says it's all because of the damn blacks, or something like that. Cut to the point. Make a graph with national social spending on one axis and child violence and death on the other and see where the US plots. Post it here. Please.

Pic above is at 7000' and we could see all the way up to 8500' without any evidence of thicker ice higher up. Ice has only been forming since Wednesday and is not particularly thick anywhere up there. Storm coming in tomorrow should be cold though, and dump a bunch more snow in time for the sunny conditions again next week. But hey, go ski up there and prove me wrong if you think it's fat enough to climb right now.

Texas conservatives say imprisoning criminals is expensive and does not reduce crime: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/10/17/pol-vp-milewski-texas-crime.html

I live in Canada myself but I tell the government of Saudi Arabia I think they should let chicks drive and stuff.

I saw this yesterday. Although Colfax is higher, i'm betting a few more weeks might be required.

Wear said Squamish hoody over a Patagonia R1 or a MEC T3 hoody (same thing but 2/5ths the price). Ta da, plus you can take the windshirt off if you overheat.

I hate to say this....but if you don't like Alabama and its laws then move. I notice you don't even consider "work to change them" as an option. Not sure if that's because you believe laws are unchangeable or because you're just too dumb to think of that option.

I got a $600 a year GST rebate when I made $15,000 a year. In other words, Hey look, real numbers

Usually the poor get a refund for their sales tax and the rich don't. Also, it's only regressive if you ignore the differences in price for goods purchased. Someone who buys a $5.00 pair of sweatpants at Walmart and pays a 10% tax pays 50 cents in tax. Someone who buys a $500 pair of designer jeans at a New York boutique pays $50 bucks in tax. Percentage is the same but the second person pays 100 times the amount of tax as the first, by choice.

GST = goods and services tax (Canadian). VAT = value added tax (European). Otherwise same thing. Economists consider them "fairer" than income taxes since they tax consumption rather than income. Given two rich dudes, one whom spends a lot on mansions and yachts and bling, and the other who doesn't, the dude who spends a lot pays more tax. Also the rich tend to spend more than the poor and so pay more tax. JayB and j_b can probably argue about that summary for at least another 10 pages now.

Wrong http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/gst-tps/gnrl/txbl/xmptgds-eng.html You don't pay GST on medical services only because the government is paying for these so ultimately it would be taxing itself.

Basic food items, as well as medical services and prescription drugs are not taxed through GST as far as I remember. You remember wrong.

At least the gate was open both going in and coming out. Busting through a locked gate would have been the extra straw.
