Hours of gameplay are most definitely not kilobytes. But yeah, I doubt that's what's causing your bandwidth issues.

What's Israel supposed to do? BN is under enormous public pressure to do something - I actually think that Israel has shown remarkable self restraint in general. If Mexico shot a rocket at texas the US would probably flat out invade...

I also agree...although it is just high school so it's not that big a deal.

Watched Avatar again. Verdict remains the same: impressive visuals, weak plot and script. 6.5/10. Maybe 7.

Haha yeah, I wish I could remember more of what he was talking about lol

PUT IT IN RICE

No, they've been illegal for quite some time - that's how the crash was avoided. Once again I don't know the details....

To be honest I don't remember exactly what he said, and a lot of it flew over my head..but he was mentioning how a lot of the shady loans and investments some of the american banks were making are illegal here.

I know I'm late to the convo, but using disconnect (chrome addon) blocks facebook comments on 9gag. of course if you actually use facebook then you can't really use that addon. I still browse 9gag with some frequency, but only 5% of the stuff is actually funny these days.

I had an interesting talk last night with a guy who works on Bay Street (the Canadian version of wall street) about how the banking regulations we have here prevented a market collapse like the states had. It was really interesting to hear that from someone who actually works directly in the industry..

Watched Lawless. Was surprisingly good. 7/10

Lost last match of the season tonight. Finished 4-4, which I'm pretty happy with given it was our first season.

These things happen after every election.

I seem to recall seeing that. I'm curious to get some of the "less government" opinions on the big 3 auto bailout.

I want to buy an Olympic weight set....but it would be such a waste of money given how often I'd actually use it. The only "planche training" I've done is just doing pushups with my hands lower down.

Drunk posting has never been funny unless it's Das....

Quantum of Solace was terrible.

Given that a stay in an american hospital is more like $64 a half hour I think that number is completely ridiculous.

Agreed with the foreign policy bit. War with Iran is not inevitable - and premature military action is exactly the kind of thing that makes countries enemies of the US. As for free market healthcare, it's fairly well proven that having a profit factor in healthcare increases costs rather than shrinking them.

Not sure what you're getting at? Globalization means economies and governments are linked more than ever before. 100 years ago, the US could afford to not give a shit what happens in Iran. No longer. Do you know what nuclear fallout is? If all of china and all of the US were nuked, the fallout would cover the entire planet I imagine within a matter of weeks. Nuclear weapons are not typical explosives, where the damage is typically local to the area of detonation. What are these requirements you speak of? I find it hard to imagine a situation where a country will just accept being nuked. Make fun of bush all you want - if your plan includes actively using nuclear weapons bush had leagues more common sense. That's a flip-flop on your previous views that no military is necessary.

Watched Brave. Typical Disney fare...animation was great as always and despite the whole princess story-line it was surprisingly unpredictable. 7/10

Yet both countries have sizeable militaries. Not to mention that the only reason Canada's military is less than NATO's reccommendation is because the american military compensates. A politically stable region? Increased globalization has put and is putting that term in the garbage. The world is every developed country's region now. Just like the US wouldn't touch china because of their nukes. Hence your nuclear point is irrelevant unless you believe either of those world leaders are stupid enough to cause the end of the world. CBA watching vid. Perhaps later. None of your business? How about when all of a sudden all of your imports from those two countries are gone because they're using them to fight a war? I don't know about regulations, but that's a sure-fire way to cause a depression. And how is the US going to go to war without a military? I don't think you understand the nature of nuclear war. You don't just "use a nuke" and be done with it. Any country that has nuclear weapons will retaliate against a nuclear strike with a further nuclear strike, and vice versa until the entire world is destroyed. If the attacking country has no nuclear weaponry initiating with a nuke would never be justified. So now you don't want to disband the military completely? I'm a little unclear.

I don't particularly care, I'm not american (well not really). But calling them "Americans" is much more suitable and polite.

I'm Canadian - we have free healthcare and education too. Can't speak for item prices. Stop doing this. It's insulting, not funny or clever, and has no place in a serious conversation.
