3 ways America should be more like Canada

Look, I'm going to give it to you straight: only wimps ignore. I think it was Campbell to whom I was referring.
Here's the thing with saying you're ignoring - the other person never knows unless you slip up. Consider it wimpy if you want - I like ignoring someone for a day or two until I have peeled myself completely off the ceiling at MY speed so I don't type anything stupider than usual. Getting banned, even temporarily is not that much fun.

I'd agree it looks like Zap stuff. I'm a big fan of R.Crumb....not the same as Zap but in that same era of underground hippy-dippy comics. Crumb's oversized women were always a hoot. [edit]Just went and refreshed the memory banks - R.Crumb WAS an artist for Zap, actually the sole artist for their first 2 editions.

Just see if you can
2) Make them somewhat believable.
This right here. If the truth is too much weirder than fiction it's best to scale it back to believable dimensions.

I'll have to ask my Canadian sister-in-law about Canukistan. I love that expression.:) I honestly have no issue with Canada and Canadians. As far as separate countries...I consider it a bit of a public smokescreen. I figure our rich and the Canadian rich have been shacking up for a long time, the national borders and politics is like two divisions of the same company "appearing" to be competitors to create divisible issues in the mind of the 99%. Keeps us from thinking about the more important stuff.

oh,i see now.....in future i'll try to dumb things down so you can better comprehend.....

No need. It seems as though you pen your posts to be hard to comprehend, like a code or something. I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but throw in some actual punctuation or a capitalized letter on occasion. The generous use of …… used to really bother me because it sometimes comes across as condescending, but I've decided you're just a huge Larry King fan and you are channeling him.

But the again, don't change your writing style. It keeps me from signing on to Luminosity.

:beaver:

.....perhaps reading comprehension is not your long suit.....
 
Just see if you can
1) perform interesting posts
2) Make them somewhat believable.
Carry on.
for someone who doesn't find them interesting you certainly spend a lot of time commenting on them ....tho' most of your comments disregard the actual content and lean toward personal attacks on me.....what you believe is immaterial .....those of us who made it out of mom's basement have experienced things you have not.....sorry.....

It's really amazing he can write at all when you consider how much time he's apparently spent hanging at the bar while dodging bullets and listening to classic rock with murderous thugs. By his own admission.;)

it's odd that someone who purports to be a "christian" spends so much time spewing vitriol.....seems that there is another definition that requires research.....
 
That's quite the 'Humanist' approach ya got there. What if it was your kid?
i think the point he is making is that if you want to volunteer to pay for it,fine,but all too often people want to feel good about themselves by volunteering other peoples time and resources....it's a fair point....is everyone that protests high taxes merely a contemptible greed head taking the food from a starving mouth,or simply concerned about the welfare of his own family?
