  1. i never said we should increase taxes, just keep them at where they were at. we're losing a large chunk of money from that 1%, that of which we have been spending. hell, that sounds more capitalist than socialist. our brothers in the south are running on a system that our current government wants to emulate. - they have around 6-10 million people unemployed - they have a defecit in the trillions and will likely never pay it back - their crime rate is through the roof, people are murdered on a daily basis - their dollar has dropped who is obligated to help the nation as a whole? the government is. it's their job, in my opinion and a vast majority of canadians, to manage the people and you can't manage the people if they're sick and or dying. i never understood why people were so opposed to "socialism" either. your country is going to end up in debt either way so why not better trying to keep your citizens healthy? "Altruism, through socialism, is what caused this economic and social disparity." that's bullshit. economic and social disparity are caused by individuals who only want to benefit themselves. i'm not saying that wanting to be rich is necessarily a bad thing, i'd love to be rich, but the fact that someone wants/is going to hoarde money that's meant to be going to something that benefits the people as a whole is not socialism. if you want to blame someone for the "money hungry" health care system, blame the executives and politicians for having such exorbitant salaries. that's one reason NGO's don't actually help anyone as well. communism and socialism aren't the same thing either. if i recall, i can buy and sell most anything i want and i don't have to give up my home for the motherland if they want to build a highway through my neighbourhood. we're already living in a sort of communist state already, aren't we? the postal system, the fire department, police, hospitals, and ambulances are the very things that embody socialism. don't you like having those? maybe the problem isn't that we don't have the money or that we have too much of it, maybe it's the people who are in control of it.
  2. The old demos will be going up in the NF store when I get them off my old drives unless MG is opposed to this. By old demos I mean from Broken (1993) to 15 Hours on a September Thursday (1994). http://www.nearfantastica.com/lyrics/ pick your favourites and they'll be upped first.
  3. i've met matt on several occasions, he's not an asshole at all. really classy guy actually. i don't think that reporter may have understood the concept of humour either. sarcasm too, maybe.

  5. exactly. i don't think giving me a couple dollars more a year so i can impulse buy something is going to help the nation as a whole
  6. aren't we taking a step backwards here? how about he keeps the GST the same and pump 1% of it into something else.

  20. spot on. downloading music is the future and radiohead's whole "pay what you want" is scaring them. i'm betting this is one of the reasons they've recently started "shutting down" trackers. it's not going to help, i can see a botnet style tracker system coming into play soon. hey, if they can't stop spam, they can't stop downloading.
