August1991

Wow! === I know ArmyGuy is real. I trust you are too. ==== Years ago, in Sri Lanka - late 1983 or so, I began to think that about 5% of the population can make the rest of us awful.

Quebec (and Canada) is a broad geography. Some of us are different.

Michael, We have to re-think the CBC ===== Heck, we have to re-think government In the past, we had to "create jobs" - unemployment was a problem

IMHO, Canada's so-called federal heallh insurance scheme was provincial. Romney was correct. Obama was wrong.

Everyone alive today talks about appeasement. That's what they know. IMHO, our current world situation is closer to 1912 or so. ======= In 1913, the entire world had a wonderful society - wonderful potential. Civilised societies And then, an elite destroyed themselves.

Putin is a thug. Legault is a modern politician. ==== Make no mistake: neither is a Hitler, Napoleon. Unlike Lenin, Putin does not want to change the world.

It is mutilation. For some bizarre reason, some parents want to mutilate their children. Some parents cut the penis, other parents pierce the ears.

Life is chance: A card out of the deck could be an Ace! I reckon that females change their behaviour based on new information. Males are frequentists. ===== Modern AI is based on female thinking. A few people, thank God, don't think this way.

Julian Fellowes wrote the dialogue of Gosford Park, and Downton Abbey. Lise Payette -what a nightmare as a person- also wrote such dialogue. How? Balzac, Dickens wrote for money. Fellowes for love of the language. I suspect that Payette and Tolstoi for both.

Hey guys, Interesting discussion. Be thankful that we live in a country with a federal state/

Disagree. In 1912, no one in the elite could imagine what was about to happen.

From what I can gather, about 7500 people work for the CBC/Radio-Canada. With a budget of $1.2 billion, that's about $160,000 per person, on average.

We can do this now with our phones, by Internet.

I'm curious. Robosmith, how is HAL related to this thread?

Chrichton, smart guy. But who's worst for America is 2024: Trump or Clinton?

You know nothing about Mulroney? ==== Your post is typical of AI, LLM. Sorry to question you, robosmith. What do you think of HAL?

I reckon that we North Americans will soon hear these terms. The Intellectual Leftists will soon use the word "irrenditists". Other Leftists will refer to Galicia.

I feel strongly about this. We people in Canada vote freely but we cannot vote twice. ==== When we North Americans vote, I think that we should put our finger in purple ink. As individuals, we should show the world that we voted - and we are civilised.

1. In Canada, we vote for a single candidate - who then decides for us. In America, the ballot is a sheet of candidates questions. 2. In Canada, we generally vote in person. 3. Democracy? One person, one vote. ===== When people vote, they should show their finger with purple ink. This will show the world that they voted, in a democracy.

The RRQ recently changed its collection/payout - it is now aligned with the CPP. ==== Older Americans are FAR better off with your Social Security.

I agree, RoboSmith. But for a different reason: vote-harvesting. Disagree.

First, for those that think that AI can work, look back at this discussion. Second, to me, Lebanon and Syria are like Quebec. (Lebanon is Montreal, Syrians are Quebecers.) Third, I remember when Trudeau Snr spoke in Quebec City.

Hey, Queenmandy85, are you also an AI poster? Cool. ==== I'm not.

Compared to Aleppo? Compared to stubborn Slavic Ukrainians/Russians? Compared to our southern neighbours? ==== We Canadians get along - peacefully.

First, I don't mean the video game. Nor do I mean Marilyn Monroe - and yes, she wore a pointed bra in the movie. Jeffery Lynn - never heard of the guy. Alan Hale -yes, the captain. Second, this movie has a message that American movies -since 1970 or so- would never, ever say. Watch for the second act. Third, IMHO, if you want to send a message, go to Western Union. Who said that?
