  1. Overall people dislike things when they become popular because they want to be different. Who gives a [cabbage]? If you like it, then you like it. If you dislike it, you dislike it.
  2. So yeah Divine Forces was founded on the 13th of August 2005. I could go on and speak about how our clan was founded and how we really eventually became a dominant force in the clan world. However, you can easily find that in our official history topic which was recently updated for the better - http://rs-df.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29354 I think we've done a great job over the years to really plant our name into the history books of the clan world. I can honestly say that our clan has been one of the only clans who's been extremely involved with the clan world. As much as people want to deny it, we've been involved with the biggest changes of the clan world the past years. More specifically, the fight against NH (when honor existed) and the birth of crash wars. I'm not going to argue to whether we did a great job at it or not - but I will say that we've done a great job on believing what's the best for our clan. Besides being involved with the clan world changes, we were as well involved with the game changes. The removal of the wilderness, the BH era, the CWA era & the return of the wilderness. We were able to be a dominant force for each of the eras, and we'll still be. Mainly our desire to improve the clan and our amazing members base will lead us to do such. Not to forget the fact that we prefer doing our things with class & pride - that is what makes us unique. Last but not least, I want to thank every current member and the past members. Doesn't matter if you been/were here for years or months or weeks. All of us contributed to this clan in some ways. Whether it was by fighting along the clan or by joining the community. I can honestly say that we'll go on for years & years. Our future isn't just safe and secure, but it's filled with ambitions and pride. Our dedication, loyalty & efforts will keep us together and solid. Here are some pictures for us all to look at (mainly past year pictures): Happy birthday boys. Much love to our members. :wub:
  3. I'm listening to the song Pie is singing because I didn't know what it was. So far it's not really that bad, but it's not exactly good either.
  4. Well? So, I have this online application up for a job but I'm hesitating for some reason.
  5. It depends on how you set it up. I personally set it to inline notifications so that it shows up as notifications on these forums. If you watch a forum, it notifies you of new topics being posted. If you watch a topic, it notifies you of replies to that topic. Source: I have two topics watched on these forums as well as a forum. :P Confession: I'm scared of applying for a job for some unknown reason. http://forum.tip.it/topic/54202-my-full-zombie <- One of my first posts that I can find. I can't find anything else later.
  6. It's because of people blatantly flaunting their heterosexuality due to them being insecure. That's really all it is.
  7. I found out around Grade 10ish that I am bisexual. It's really not a big deal, and I hope it doesn't bother you guys.
  8. How are addresses written? Similar to American? For example ours are: Name Number of house Name of road *road* City, State zip code We have the number and then street name. For example, if you live on Fake Street and live at number 123, it would be written as "123 Fake Street". How are the outlets laid out? Is it going to be a hassle adapting cords to Canadian outlets, or are they the same? Outlets are mainly organized around larger shopping centres. You may find smaller towns with small businesses and such, but mostly (as I said) there will be plazas. How difficult is becoming a citizen? Is there a test? Does it cost money? I'm not too sure about that because I've never had to go through with it since I was born here, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult. I know there's a minimum amount of time you have to have lived here though. Voting age? Do the politicians spew crap like they do in the US? 18, and we're talking about politics here, so yes. Laws regarding abortion? Marijuana? Religion? Gun control? Gays? Health care? Abortions are legal but there's a panel you have to go through, marijuana is more lenient than the US meaning it's not Schedule I (and if you possess a very small amount they won't arrest you, but they will take it - but it is illegal overall so I wouldn't exactly be brandishing it around), there is no state religion, strict on guns (can't have automatic weapons or handguns but you can own hunting rifles if you have a licence), gay marriage is legal (you can just go through a Justice of the Peace - don't need to do it through a church), and health care has longer waiting times, but for the most part it doesn't cost anything (if you need a major operation, it doesn't cost anything if you're covered by OHIP (my province) but prescription drug coverage is limited and ambulances cost money - overall varies from province to province because healthcare is managed province by province.) What is the religious makeup? If you're going to BC you'll see a lot of people from other countries due to the location (right next to the ocean). Overall, it really doesn't matter because you'll see many different religions. How is it different if I live in Canada, but am not a citizen? Is that bad? Do I need to become a citizen? Being a citizen entitles you to a bit more rights, but the majority of them cover "permanent residents" as well, so you should be fine. It's best to become a citizen because it really makes things easier for you.

    Today...

    If you don't want to do it, it's fine. If you want to go ahead and do it, then I can't say it's an entirely bad decision to do because then I would be a hypocrite. Just make sure to not give in to what other people say. If it's something you don't want to do, then make sure it stays that way. If it's something you wanted to do, then well, it's your decision.
  10. Actually, yesterday, I had a conversation with my dad about gay marriage. Let's just say he's a conservative. It led me to wonder what he would say if I were gay. Are you? Just curious as all.
  11. CO which binds more readily to hemoglobin than O2 which is why CO poisoning is so dangerous. Treatment: Hyperbaric chamber
  12. Calcium phosphate Which is what makes up a nice portion of your bones.

  14. How different is it? It's not really that different. We just have more government services that the US doesn't offer. For example, healthcare you would need to apply for to get coverage from the government (citizens don't need to since they're already covered). But I'm sure they'll explain it all to you when you move. Politically it is a lot different because when you vote, you don't vote your prime minister, you vote your local candidate. Whoever gets the most seats wins the election and the leader of that party becomes prime minister. Public transportation any good? Depends where you live. It's good in some areas, poor in others. Although overall in areas I can think of it's pretty good. Crime rates are lower, how much lower? I don't really hear of much crimes happening around where I live. It really depends on where you live though. For example, living in inner-city Toronto tends to have a higher volume of people. Higher volume of people = more crime. What is the food like? How's the food like in the USA? It's the same. You go to the store and buy it. Could one survive without a car? Depends where you live. Some areas are a bit worse when it comes to cars, but as always a car is a nice advantage to have. If you live in Toronto it's less of an advantage. How warm can it get/how nice can the weather be? Depends where you live. It's really the same as the northern USA states unless you want to live in Nunavut. Although it does tend to be colder overall, but not by much. Are there any majorly different laws? Gun laws are a lot more strict and some laws such as for marijuana are a bit more lenient, but overall they're the same. How different are prices? A bit higher, but it depends where you live. If you live in Alberta gas is a bit cheaper I believe (don't quote me on that). Do you make more money on average, the same, less? It depends on the job you are getting. If you are getting into the healthcare field, there is a high demand but you get paid less because it is government funded, however you can guarantee it being there. I've heard the people are friendlier, true? Depends where you live, although I live in Canada so I have nothing to compare it to. How is Canada's economy? Better than the States due to government regulations, etc. Anything I can get easily in Amurrika that I can't get in Canada? Guns How hard is the switch to metric? Not that difficult. It's a lot easier than the Imperial system considering everything is in groups of 10s. Considering the entire world uses it except for the USA (probably some other small countries) it makes it even easier since you need to use it in sciences anyway. How is the internet? The internet is getting [bleep]ed right now due to lowering internet caps. But, you can still get decent services. Am I okay not knowing any french beyond very basic stuff? Yeah, you are more than fine. French is only mandatory to learn in public schools until Grade 9, and even then a large portion of the population don't know it. Are there any rights I have in the US that I don't have in Canada, or vice versa? Gun laws for one. But I'd like to think there is more rights for Canadians vs USA because there is no Patriot Act. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing to not have it, but that's just what it is. There is a similar law in effect but many sections of it were stripped when it revisited parliament. http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/charter/ Full document located above.
