What is an acceptable amount of years above and below your age to date? Posted: 3/26/2006 9:45:37 AM
Thyck....I'm a pretty immature 35 and proud of it. I work every day and love the fact that I can kick back and act like an 18 year old on week-ends. My wife is the same age as me and she definitely acts older than her age. A perfect combination I think. If two people get along who cares how old they are or the difference in ages.

Cuddling after sex Posted: 3/25/2006 6:04:07 PM
I'm just saying that during sex the sweat thing is great. Afterwards man I just wanna cool off. It doesn't mean I don't care for you, I mean I'll stroke your hair and caress your back but I don't wanna be curled up spooning when it's the type of weather that makes you sweat when you breathe.

New Law slated to install Police State in Canada Posted: 8/25/2005 5:25:52 PM
Listening, You know that this new law requires law enforcement to get a judge to sign off right. This is an update to a law that is over 30 years old and compels ISP's to hand over information regarding suspected criminals. Again, they have to have enough proof for a judge to sign off. ISP's would need to keep information for up to 3 months. I think for sure there will be a Charter challenge and we'll see what happens. I don't think it has anything to do with the U.S., Canada and Mexico becoming a super state. Besides if that did happen, the Republicans would never win the Presidency again.

druid you're subject is intriguing. I think you're right Canadians have lost our fight. We have become slaves to the Shopping Mall and second guessing. We expect the Government to solve all of our problems while we show little or no involvement in our own communities. We want 0 taxes but have our social programs, healthcare and perfectly paved roads, all while paying as little as possible at retail stores at the expense of small business. We have all fallen into the Golden Vision of Globalisation and consumerism and now we want the government to fix the problems that come with such a system. I actually saw a poll which showed that 14% of conservative voters would like to have Mike Harris to be the party leader for the Federal Conservatives. This is the same man whose gutting of Ontario's social programs has led to the escalating gun deaths in Ontario this summer. Perhaps we should pay more attention to the platforms that our Parties run on BEFORE electing them and then complaining about it afterwards. But that would take some effort on the electorates part.

[quote}Anyone read "Shake Hands With the Devil" by Romeo D'allaire at yet? frrosty, This book is utterly amazing/disturbing. It will make you feel sick to your stomach, but also with an incredible respect for Romeo D'allaire. You won't be able to put it down. I would also recommend "People Before Profit" by Charles Derber. It looks at how Globalisation has affected (destroyed) democracy and how it can be turned around.

Not sure if anyone has read "People Over Profit". Kind of interesting with left leaning bent. There is liberal usage of the term "Robber Barons" as opposed to industrialists in the first few chapters. Some interesting ideas on the formation of more Democratic World Bodies in conjunction with Community and National Governments. Pretty interesting and could be read in a Week-end. I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying this thread...thanks everyone.

the war on terror Posted: 5/28/2005 5:06:45 PM
lassiter, Terrorists are not Nazi's nor Communists. They do not have standing armies that have been conscripted. Did you ever think that the reason terrorism exists today is the tremendous gap between the West, where we think Poverty is less than $17000/ year and the Third World where more than 3 billion people live on less than $3.00 a day? Perhaps the terrorists come from countries who are tired of the Western Powers putting puppet governments in place and then toppling them. Perhaps they are angry that the United States has Military Bases in their homeland, granted to them by the same puppet governments that the West is Propping up. The UN, WTO, IMF and World Bank need to be overhauled to be more accountable to all people's of the world not just the Richest 8 nations.

If corporations, and here I'm thinking specifically of publicly traded corporations, are gaining an ever-increasing amount of power, and they are; then I can only foresee negative results for people and for economies. I would not pretend to be as educated as FDS on Economics, however, here is my view of Transnational Corporations. I believe that FDS had pointed out that many transnationals are larger than many developing countries giving them leverage in negotiations with said countries. The other issue is the WTO which, like the United States, views Corporations as having inalienable rights. When Governments can no longer pass legislation that they feel is important for their citizens because they can be sued by a Corporation because that legislation will reduce the corp's potential profit there is a problem. I pointed out in another thread that people should be less worried about the UN, although it needs to be reformed, and more concerned with the power that transnational corporations and a WTO, IMF and World Bank that are accountable to no one.

I think that the US has every right to go over those that were responsible for 911 wherever they hide. Not just in Afganistan but everywhere around the glode. So who exactly is that? Are there names? Oh yeah they're on the FBI most wanted list. That is why other countries have Police Forces and diplomats. So that foreign countries can co-ordinate efforts to catch bad people. Does the word Sovereignty mean anything to you Foxe? That statement is precisely why the United States foreign policy is abhored around the world. Now BDM is gonna come back and say "Good. I don't care what they think.", but that is precisely the point. The current United States Foreign Policy smells suspiciously of Empire Building, I think someone else brought up Manifest Destiny, but eventually you will stand alone in this world because that attitude will cause allies to back away. If you're okay being this short sighted. Okay... But don't go around crying "why doesn't anyone like the United States". Nobody has forgotten what happenned on 9/11 but the Current administration has co-opted it for their own purposes (the Republicans used it in their campaign for gawd sakes). There is no reason that Iraq could not have been handled the same way on North Korea, Iran, Syria and all the other countries that which the US deems threatening. Diplomacy does work. There has been no war with China and they are opening their markets, the eastern bloc countries did the same thing. anyway..think what you want.

I don't think you find one person who has an issue with the ongoing efforts in Afghanistan. I bet if you took the 160000 troops that are in Iraq and dedicated the same funds you would have found Bin Laden and not left the area outside of Kabul to be ruled by Warlords and the Taliban (they are still there).

Then you have the Insurance and consumer dollars that go into it as well. I think we have the basis for a system that works. Could it be better? Of course it could. I don't know of anything anywhere that doesn't need some fixing. Do you know of something perfect? I await your plan for Healthcare reform.

I don't give a crap about what they think There it is Bulldog...you gave the right answer on the first try. The United States is starting to experiene what people in Third World Countries have been experiencing for the last 20 some odd years. Globalisation as carried out by Corporations. Companies moving there operations to countries which will do the work for the least amount of money. You do know that if the United States were say to put in Environmental Legislation into place to protect you, the citizen, from a known carcinogen, a corporation could go to the WTO and most likely win their case as the United States is depriving that company of potential profit and that legislation would be declared unlawful. Right now the IMF, World Bank and WTO drive Third World Countries deeper into debt, they are unable to provide any social programs, basic healthcare or, in some cases food. What do you think they do with all the spare time they have when they're not looking for food or working 17 hours a day without a break to go to the bathroom? They're hating the Nation that has the most influence over the Institutions that have deprived their country of any chance at prosperity. Care to guess which Nation that would be? If the some 3 billion people who live on less than $3.00 a day were able to earn a living wage and a fair shake on how their countries are run you would, most likely, see much of the terrorism that exists vanish.

Really isn't this the reason that we have Ombudsmen anyway? To bring to people's attention situations that go unnoticed? Read the Toronto Star article...a little less ingraciating.

P.S. The US has far more people and guns in circulation then does Canada. frrosty there must be something else at play. Murder is murder and if you hate someone enough you are not going to let the method or choice of weapon stop you from killing that person. I think it's very sad that people allow themselves to stoop to murder as the penultimate solution to their problem. I own firearms and could not imagine ever being upset enough to use them on another human being.

Those closings will result in the same thing that occurred when the large mental health institutions were closed. Displaced persons. BAd..bad..idea. Frrosty... you can say that again. I do believe that the worst place for people is in an institution however, unless there are ways for the community to deal with the Mentally Challenged we will see another spike in homelessness as occurred in the mid-90's in Toronto.

as far as inching slowly toward capital punishment, there is no moving slowly toward it, at some point you've got to go "hey, lets murder that guy" Here we go, I am about to be the socialist pinko commie.... I have an issue with the idea of a death penalty. If it works so well, the United States should be the safest country on the planet. We have been seeing a reduction of violent crime in Canada, not an increase. For example Homicides in Canada were down 7% in 2004 and is at it's lowest level since 1967. Drug Crimes also dropped 8% last year. The Death Penalty reduces the State to the same level as the killer. Oh yeah and as far as poverty goes 3 billion people live on $3 or less per day. We all think the UN needs to be overhauled...maybe the real problem is the WTO and IMF.

Infact it was almost lifted once but another case of BSE surfaced just before this happend causing it to be delayed. What's great about the BSE scare was that we have now increased our own production capacity and will now send finished product to the US instead of just send the live cattle to be slaughtered. Canada now has less reliance on the US slaughter houses...bully for us. Now if we could get our act together with the Lumber and send finished product in that case as well we'd be making some progress.

Aside from something drastic such as that what do you surmise should be done? The sub-urban areas will continue to build houses irregardless of the problems that it causes. Something needs to be done to curb the use of the Automobile in North America and continuing to build further out into the country and paving over valuable farm land is not the solution. The status quo is not working.

SeanChristopher, Do you expect the East, essentially Ontario, to vote for what is a somewhat Regional Party. I want to know what the Conservatives plan to do. There website is pathetic in the amount of information that is on it as I pointed out earlier. I would like to see Two powerful parties that are able to keep each other in check and the NDP and the Greens and maybe some offshoot right wing party to push for more conservative views to balance out the far left. I have seen nothing from the conservatives that would make me consider them a party to be elected. I am not a Liberal supporter but they are closer to my centre-left views.

It's not that we can't develop better power sources, it's that the will to do it must be strong at all government levels, and it just isn't, because not enough pressure is being applied by the Canadian public. Sigh Lyrical, I agree that there needs to be greater emphasis placed on the development of alternative energy options. The government should be supplying R&D $ to private firms to develop such options as Private Enterprise will generally try to find the cheapest most efficient way to make these options work. There should be stringent Government Regulation on Automotive Fuel Efficiencies and Emissions. I don't know if you have seen the current voluntary agreement but it is a joke. There are no fines or penalties if the targets are not met. The public is not going to scream and shout because like it or not, we like cheap. I'm starting to wonder if the Provincial Governments should not artificially hike the Fuel Prices to encourage use of Public Transit and discourage urban spawl. Perhaps the price should be taxed an extra dollar a litre with guarantees that all extra money would go to Public Transit. There would be a huge backlash, but what's right is right and the Public does not seem to be getting the hint.

Most Canadians (if you went by this section of the forum) are too stupid to think about it, Sean. Haven't you followed the other threads of various Canadians defending or supporting the Liberals? Silver, I don't know about you but I do not want an election as we will end up with exactly what we have now. Another minority government is not the answer. I also want to see what the Conservatives would do to change things. I don't like their leader but, as SeanChristopher pointed out, a leader does not necessarily the party make. Although that could be debated as there is generally a lack of freedom in voting on new legislation amongst all parties. Instead of slagging posters to this forum what do you think should be done???

Take a look at what the Province of Ontario gives to the Federal Government and what we actually recoup...23 billion dollar difference...huh.. Does the West really think that hitching their wagon to the Conservatives is going to get something done? I would like to see the Senate reformed. I think it should be elected. I would also like to see the Election Act changed and get rid of this First Past the Post electoral system. There are enough differences regionally in this country that there should be some form of Proportional Representation.

you're going to knit pick about sentance structure, are you kidding me? Don't you think, in the Political World, attention to detail is paramount. If they can't get the message right on their own website how can they expect to convey it verbally? Truth be told the only leader I would trust to tell the truth is Jack Layton. I don't think either Harper or Martin have the Leadership skills to run a nation. The Conservative Party has moved too far to the right to be a viable party. They have no connection to the Urban areas of the Country where any party is going to win the election. I am okay with Gay Marriage as is half of Canada. I don't want to see it defined as a union between man and woman because I don't think that is a decision for the Government to make. I believe they should legalise marijuana. I don't smoke it, but think of the Revenue potential and it has been shown that it is no more dangerous health wise than alcohol. I have no problem with the budget that was passed. As a matter of fact, thanks to the NDP, we are meeting one of the commitments that many Governments committed to, that being the designation of 0.7% of GDP to Foreign Aid. I like the money for Low Income Housing. None of that would have been in the budget if the Conservative Party had their way. What would Harper do any better than Martin?? They both pander to the electorate, as do most politicians. I don't want to get further under the covers with the United States. You want to put a scare into the United States, why don't we consider becoming part of the European Union?

Is my impression incorrect that Canada regularly almost either topples or breaks into at least two pieces? Are you guys really on the brink or is brinksmanship just the theme in politics up there? Maybe it's from not having had a civil war yet. We have something right now that the United States will never experience. We have a minority Government, meaning that the Governing party does not have a majority of the 308 seats in Parliament and as such they are unable to push through an agenda without convincing members of other parties to go along. Our budget was just passed by 1 vote. If the budget did not pass Parliament would have been dissolved and an election called as the failure to pass the Budget would be seen as a vote of Non-Confidence. We also have an issue where the Liberal Party of Canada has been accused of funneling over 100 million dollars to Liberal friendly Ad Firms, which may have been funnelled back to the Liberal Party, during the last Quebec Vote on Separation.

Not sure if you look at the Conservative Party website Sean Christopher, however, if you haven't here is a snippet. We will put money into your priorities such as health care, lower taxes, or our military. So... we get to choose one of the above??? We will stand with our allies and international bodies against terrorism and for the basic values of freedom and democracy. Which one do you think Harper would choose? The United States is an ally, however they ignored the UN (an international body) when it came to Iraq. Hmmmm...and they call the Liberals dithering.

I feel absolutely no connection with them and Harper has the charisma of an over done piece of linquine. I have a feeling that he would be walking hand in hand (literally as we've seen) with George W and have us signed up as the newest state in the Republic. I would love to like the NDP but I don't think they have the experience. So that leaves me with the Marxist/Communist or the Green's. We're in a tight spot boys...a tight spot indeed.

Not sure if you look at the Conservative Party website msquared, however, if you don't here is a snippet. We will put money into your priorities such as health care, lower taxes, or our military. So... we get to choose one of the above??? We will stand with our allies and international bodies against terrorism and for the basic values of freedom and democracy. Which one do you think Harper would choose? The United States is an ally, however they ignored the UN (an international body) when it came to Iraq. Hmmmm...and they call the Liberals dithering.

is atheism a religion? Posted: 5/24/2005 10:27:02 AM
Atheism isn't the lack of belief - it is the belief in nothing Not quite accurate but I see your point. Nihilism is a belief in nothing. Atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. You can still believe in society, humanity or anything else. As long as there is no god or gods.

I disagree socal... I think people who are atheists understand that they do not believe in any higher beings...except my wife that is..
