The goal of the system and the goal of one of the constituent parts need not be the same.

Strangely, when you treat your workers better, moral goes up, they're more productive and more profitable. If you force sick people to come into work, they spread their sickness, and before you know...

That's as equally disingenuous as the oft repeated claim that "The USA isn't a democracy, we're a republic!" The adversarial system is one type of justice system. Justice is still the ultimate...

Ah, the "They're not Americans so LALALA I CAN'T HEAR THEM!" logical proof. I do believe it was a favourite of Plato's when debating philosophy, though not until he's had far too much wine.

Apparently though they are very VERY active. :cool:

To be fair, the right/left labels do apply, it's just that the whole spectrum has shifted to the right in the USA, so a "liberal American" is still centre left at best by worldwide standards. ...

Yep. Most of the USA has a justice system. Texas has a "justice" system.

These are the same kinds of people who tried to stop workplace safety laws from being passed.

"It's too expensive give them railings and hardhats, plus they'll just get lazy."

Crumbled blue cheese, bacon, and caramelized onion would go together very well on a pizza.

I think we could all do with a few days on the water.

For those who can't, have a picture of a dory.

Sorry! I was inspired by your thread to post these! It never occurred me to add them to your thread, since there were so many of them.

I'm doing a good job of pissing people off today.

Like everyone, I sometimes just get overwhelmingly irrationally irritated by things. My point made and misrecieved, I'll go delete my post.

Not a problem! Just give me a minute to do the edits. Clarity is important.

I hope you never become diabetic. Insulin is produced by a GMO.

The problem is not genetic engineering itself, it promises great advancement. The problem is the infancy of the science and the...

The idea is by adjusting altitudes of balloons, you can guide them using different air currents. I can only imagine this system being orders of magnitude cheaper than satellites, though more...

It was a simply spectacular sunrise.

Never thought this would be the last time I saw the Bounty. She did look a little rough in hindsight.

I particularly like the pink Cape Islander. My apologies about the PWC, it couldn't be avoided.

Took these last summer on a weekend trip to Halifax. For you consideration, enjoyment, mocking, whathaveyou.

Mmmm. Hawaiian pizza! With a somewhat sweet sauce? Delish!

I don't think the assumption that the intent is to offend or be racist. It just happens that a small but significant number of people are offended by the word. Its the same thing with the stars and...

Swimming is a basic skill that anyone who spends time around water should learn. That being said, knowing when not to swim may be as important as knowing how when it comes to cold water.

Soon to come? Movie theatres have been moving to digital for ages now. It's a shame it's being forced now.

Very nice lookin'!



Or that they cruise in places other than North America?

Of course! XKCD is required reading for the nerdy.

Please, tell us more how those offended by racist language are merely whinging for the sake of it. Why can't they just let people be offensive and disrespectful in peace?

I kinda worry about those who think that basic decency and respect equals softness and is undesirable.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words may never hurt me" may be an oft repeated...

It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to see the overlap when an action is politically correct AND correct.

Welcome to the past. We were all mightily impressed by this ages ago.

I bow to your superior wording sir.

Eh, Americans as a whole don't value freedom. They value the appearance of freedom. It's very human.

Actually I think I've found something even truer.

As Canadian as not being American.

I quite like Will Ferguson's answer to the question.

"As Canadian as a Royal Commission."

Some people like blended, some people will shell out for single malt. To each their own. It's not like he's sprinkling gold flakes over it.

One set? How do you decide how to share?

In the works as soon as it's legal.

"Être votre voisin, c'est comme dormir avec un éléphant; quelque douce et placide que soit la bête, on subit chacun de ses mouvements et de ses grognements."

Assuming this is true, and I'm not convinced science would have ground to a halt without war, I'd be absolutely fine with radio being a couple decades behind if it was a choice between that and the...

Did you read the article or just the OP?

"The Supreme Court is about to decide what one justice says may be its most important criminal procedure case in decades — whether the police have the...

Because that has absolutely nothing to do with what's being discussed?

So long as the sample is only used for identification purposes, I hate to say that I can't see any difference between taking a DNA sample and fingerprints. In both cases you're recording a unique...

I'm not approving, I'm just being pragmatic about what I think will happen.

The author at about the same intellectual level as the left wingers who want to ban all guns because they're scary. There's no point offering a counterpoint to the extremists.

I'm repeating this...

I've got a feeling it's not the end of the issue. They'll come back in a while after addressing the concerns of the BC government, mainly in terms of oil spill response and financial recompense and...

You're something to aspire to. These day's that's called "Risk Assessment", and a lot of places are formalizing it with varying levels of success. It's amazing how much push back against it there...

Indeed.

Sure war sped up technological development. Was it worth it? More than 60 million dead in WWII alone would lead me to say no. Better to move slower, at less moral cost to us all. Is that...

I usually just order it "to go".

Looks super delicious!

I've got some drinks to do with the BBQ for ya here.

Thats about 100 miles a day if she spent half of those 9 years underway. Depending on her schedule it's very possible.
