Americans that don't vote
ToadMan replied to practicesanteria's topic in Politics and Debate: WRONG!
I never refuse to vote. But if your going to, then you should still go to the polling station, and abstain. The difference is, that abstained votes count for what you intend, that you have an intention to vote, but nobody is apt to you. Peace -
yeah... there was all that established sexual tension... and then nothing. Peace

Harry Potter vs. Luke Skywalker
ToadMan replied to no yu begin wher i end's topic in Rentals, Television, and Readables
That is pointless... The parallels are not that well defined. The original Star War's synopsis was flawed. First: Luke was not rescued from the Lars, The Lars where killed by the imperials while Luke finding Obi-Wan. Next, Leia is Luke's sister, Hermine is not Harry's sister (Unless she is the illegitimate child of one of Harry's parents... but that only makes her half sister). Next: Voldermort is not Harry's father, Darth is Luke's father. Next: Luke blew up the death star, a craft that could blow up a planet; All Harry did was win a crappy game of Quididge (fuck spelling that right). Lake would whip Harry in a fight... I mean it's light saber vs crappy wand. Peace -

tab is easier to learn and play by far. However, learning score is (as you outlined) far more powerful as a skill. I don't think tab requires learning, so I'm going t vote score. Peace -
"Good Morning" in Strange Days as "Come on in". No meaning change though from this one. Peace

I have to disagree with you guys. Two reasons: 1) I don't hear any difference between the album track, and the recording or acoustic track, that cannot be attributed to post processing, or the quality of the video 2) weaker argument, but the video is clearly labeled "Matt recording Empty Road" If you want to refute my first point, give me track times, and I will give it a listen. The second argument, I admit is not that strong. If you people are right, then this must have been a take, and not the finial record. (Remember Matt doesn't like doing multiple takes) Peace

The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring lol... do I get points for a 4 point match? Peace -
This sentence had so much potential, and then you went and screwed it up. "hes" ?, closest match is he's but that would be 'he is'... sounds like his, but that makes no sense. I believe you meant 'he has'. ;) just razzing you Peace

indeed... I'll go see it when it gets to theaters in 'toon Peace

Your idea assumes something that is unfortunately not always true. It assumes that people in a poorer situation are actually interested in doing work to get out of it. Although we could site numerous examples that support your assumption, we can also site numerous examples that don't. I live in Saskatoon, and with out making any racial insinuations (since race has no baring on this), a large number of the poor people in Saskatoon are content to just collect there welfare and stay poor. Now a portion of these people are of native decent (I'm not bring this up for racial reasons, just follow), now native persons receive university education for a very low rate (I'm not sure if it is free, but very cheap). The point is, that even though they are poor, and can receive free education, they just don't care. I image that this would extend to any poor people if they where given the cheap education option. Your suggestion is not without it's merits, for people in a poor situation that will fight tooth and nail to get out, your system provides them with to opportunity to. With reflection on career path choices: This is not all bad, but the councilors, and school systems need to embraces the ideas of technical collages, and apprenticeships. Then actually guide students into there niche, as opposed to best fitting them into a university degree. Peace

Hitchhiking would make you experience more of Canada... but it's dangerous in these times of ours. I might drive across Canada at some point... but I live in the middle, so that would be kind of hard. Peace

Actually not, I'm an Electrical Engineer, taking a second degree in Computer Science. I think you make some good points. One of the thinks I think would help Canada is a paradigm shift away from the belief that everybody needs a university degree. If the job market was to reflect that skilled laborers from a technical collage are also valuable, and pay them accordingly, that would be a step. My older sister is a veterinary technologist, which means she is an animal nurse, lab tech, x-ray tech, ultra-sound tech, and receptionist. She gets paid only $3 more than minimum wage. Persons in the human sciences in any of the above earn significantly more. The point I'm trying to draw is that in my experience technical schools are shunned in favor of universities. The problem is, there are lost of people that would make great auto mechanics, but go to university because society tells them to. If we place people in trades, and environments they want to be it, they will thrive. As a society we have to accept and embrace that people have different skills and abilities, and educate them according to there skills and abilities. I often comment that the reason there are so many university grads working at Mickey D's is that to many people graduated from that program. So why not allow people that maybe don't really want to do university to go to trade school, and grow the pool of jobs uniformly. Peace
