I've come to the conclusion that one of the biggest ripoffs in the grocery department today are delicatessans. You can pay up to $2 per 100 grams (less than 1/4 lb.) for meat a lot of which isn't particularly healthy. By the same token you can buy a whole roast for under $10 and slice off lots...

What are the pros and cons?

This is a subject with a multitude of pros and cons. We are more tolerant of some minorities and we are less tolerant of such things as pedophilia and child abuse. But are we also not more tolerant of bad behaviour as indicated by more lenient sentences handed down to violent offenders? We...

Apparently he's "cock of the walk" in the big house! Looks like these prisons in the U.S. (see previous thread about Scott Peterson) are exactly the type we don't want in Canada. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/Madoff+hero+jailmates+report/3124271/story.html

Poll:- life better now or in 1959? In light of the run on stabbings by teenaged girls in B.C. - Is this a sign that life is getting better?

It took us three days longer this year to pay the annual taxes. That equates to a tax rate of 43.5% National Post | Canadian News, Financial News and Opinion

How best to clean up the illegal drug scene or do we want to?

Just heard on Global News tonight that several of our M.P.s charged up over $500000 last year in travel expenses, including one M.P. who flies his whole family back and forth to Ottawa from northern B.C. What's with this sh*t? Is there no way of stopping it? Is there no cap on travel expenses...

It's been 25 years since Steve dipped his foot at Fonyo Beach in Victoria and some benefactors are going to erect a plaque. Happily, Steve seems to be doing better now, is engaged to be married and is gainfully employed. Even though he has done more than his share of "screwing up", he has to...

How reliable are they at telling the whole story?

Has anyone experimented with Garlic to see if it lowers High blood pressure and if so what results did you achieve?

As soon as you mention using herbicides or insecticides on your garden, you hear people muttering something about "chemicals" and you are regarded as the worst pariah on earth. Yet these same people squander $millions every day ingesting tons of chemicals purchased at fast food outlets and...

Just heard on C.B.C. radio that an Alberta girl is being sued (by the kids grand parents) after she saved the kids from a fire three years ago. Are people going completely nut? Does anyone know more details about this. Apparently the fire did damage to the grand parents home nearby. The...

What do you think?

I see they got the bastard who attempted to bomb Time Square. Not surprising, he is a foreigner from Asia. In light of that and all the other mischief those guys get into I think North America needs a 10 year moritoriam on all immigration so all these guys can be sorted out and the undesirables...

I heard a financial analyst on C.B.C. radio early this morning that Canada is among the top of the G 20 countries as far as being in good financial shape. I would suggest that Harper should get the credit for that since it is on "his watch".

I'm not talking about the typical run of the mill person who generally votes Democrat but the card carrying, dyed in the wool Democrat. Do they tend to be more interested in personal popularity than moral principle? Are they more interested in personal appearance, than the average "red neck"...

People are individuals comprised of a multitude of different thoughts, beliefs, ideas and motives resulting from a myriad of influences, experiences, personal associations, geography and family background. They should not be compartmentalized according to such fickle criteria as politics and...

I think it's time to spring him loose. If an A$$hole like Conrad Black can get out in 61/2 years, Omar should have been released years ago. If he did in fact murder someone (which is highly dubious) he should have been charged and tried at the time. After 8 years of torture, further...

I read in this mornings paper why we need more snouts in the Federal trough- two reasons 1. No province can have less members than they do in the senate and 2. No province can have less ridings than they did at on a date of redistribution back in the '70s. Both lame excuses (the perpetrator...
