But since it is the whites bringing it upon themselves, it is more likely white suicide. Mostly likely caused by all that white guilt.

I searched and couldn't find any. Since you make the claim, could you produce them please? Just kidding. I am sure there are differences, as I have said, but nothing that etiquette can't cover off. For example, avoid discussing sex, religion and politics and the supper table. But otherwise, pretty much the same kind of people by and large.

Produce a few. There might be differences, for sure, but not anything more significant that cannot be quickly learned as a form of etiquette. And that we can never seem to get Almond Joys up here.

The best source is a visit for a few weeks. Preferably to a place where you would think you would like to settle. Then mosey around. There are practically no differences between American and English Canadians to any significant degree. We might appear more liberal on the large, a little more insular with some subjects and despite all the hype we secretly appreciate Quebec and our Yankee cousins. (PS - all Americans are "Yanks" even ones from Georgia) When you get breakfast ask for the HP sauce and you're in. Also, if you come from a temperate climate, come up in the winter to get a sense of the cold. Wear a parka.

Even the deciminalization of bigamy, polygamy and banning abortion?

If you are an American, learning about Canada and wish to know how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms work, then pay careful attention to the opening paragraph: Note the key phrase, "subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." So no, the CHRC nor hate speech laws "clash" with the Charter or Constitution in anyway, shape or form. None, nada, not at all. Anyone attempting to tell you that it does is full of baloney and is likely a bit dumb or an ideologue, usually one in the same. Like any social institution in the world, the CHRC has to deal with it's fair share of frivolous or fraudulent claims which are nothing compared to the frivolous or fraudulent claims made to Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, taxation, any number of the levels of justice, etc. If you wonder about free speech in Canada, check out our libel, slander and defamation laws.

Well yes, almost. The little area where the bus driver sits is not a public place, it is a workplace for the bus driver. Intrude on that space and see what happens.

Entice the rich? LOFL! No, put them on public projects and effectively tax the middle class to pay for it, the British way. Mind you, they should take a look at Canada and our public project solution: more prisons and more military hardware. Then when you knock at their door and rouse them off the chesterfield, they will have the freedom of making a choice.

Homer likes floor pie.

True. But there are definitions of the terms people choose to self-identify themselves as.

Well one of the arguments, being put forth by Gatineau bus driver after being photographed texting while driving, is that such recording is an intrusion on their work place rights.

Christianity is a religion with many sects or denominations, like every other religion on the planet. Anyone that identifies themselves as a Christian is performing a religious act. Supernatural trappings are not required for this act.

I saw the title to the thread "Do you have a favourite piece of classical music?" on the homepage, which was truncated to "Do you have a favourite pie..." I was going come on and tell you that, yes, yes I do and it is blueberry with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. And second place goes to cherry pie - delicious! Although deep dish apple pie, especially at Christmas time is pretty damned nice too. What is your favourite pie and why?

The devil is in the details innit? Clement steered G8 funding in riding, documents show This sort of thing has a familiar, er, stench to it. What could it be, what could it be? Oh, yeah, now I remember: Sponsorship scandal Tens of millions of dollars funnelled into projects without official oversight while the Minister in question sat as the Minister in charge of that department?? Yeah, I am talking about you Tony Clement. Let's hope Mr. Clement comes out of this spotless since he went through $50 million in about 2 years, while the Sponsorship Scandal was $100 million over 13. Of course - and I cannot over-emphasize this enough - OF COURSE every Canadian expects the present CPC government to be completely above board and transparent in their rigorous investigation of this issue. I wonder if John Gomery is available to take a look...

It's all about the sweater vest and haircut daddy-o. Any era that could produce such awesome style must be idyllic. Next up, they will restore formica kitchen tables in bright, cheery colours... can't wait.

Amen.

Nope. By all definitions, Christianity is a religion and there mere act of identifying oneself as Christian is a religious act.

Rights helped lead to U.K. riots, Cameron says Of course, giving people too many rights is bad for... government. I am not sure what is worse - an idiot rioter or an idiot PM, but LOL Britain, you got got both. Of course, the problem with Cameron's logic is the explanation for all the other riots in English history prior to the Human Rights Act and especially those that happened in Merry Olde Conservative England back in the day. How about all those riots in Northern Ireland? Wait, that was different...

So are you saying that people shouldn't record acts of police brutality on their cell phones? If you are, I have a small phrase for you: too late.

Stamp what out - war? Thank god for that! You know, this is a primo example of that wistful pining for the 'olden days' when all was well, suburban family's were valued, where Wally and the Beave played safely in the streets. Just like on TV and in the magazines. A totally distorted view of the past, of course. What you are forgetting Bill is that the engineer hobbyists are now more interested in computer engineering, virtual environment programming and other hight tech tooling. They have simply moved on from model trains and HAM radios. But fear not, even computer engineer hackers can be "pressed into service."

No, more like the other way around if you take a few moments to look at history. American's tend to have more riots than England, but it could be a population thing. So America's past will be England's present, which will be Americas future, which is already in the past, as noted by England's present. Which is all to say: The English will always move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom! Freedom being a free bike or xBox when the opportunity arises I suppose.

What is missing is context, for example, women in the workplace were in a 'minority' and thus the requirement for Employment Equity programs to address the issues of numbers. They question now is, do women occupy an equal part of the workplace with regard to numbers in different sectors of the workplace or do they still constitute a 'minority?' Women are not considered 'visible minorities' for the purposes of legislation, even though they might be visibly in the minority in a given workplace or job sector. http://jobs-emplois.gc.ca/centres/definitions-eng.htm

It is an epistemological problem since the record of what "Jesus Christ taught" is incomplete and that the remaining record could have - and likely was - altered to suit some purpose or another throughout the various ages. Then there is the problem of interpretation... I believe a self-admitted Christian is someone who lives their life, to the best of their ablity, according to the most positive interpretation of the basic teachings that are found in the Gospels. This person will usually have a faith that this mode of living is sound and worthwhile for themselves and for their interaction with others. The best Christians I know do not proselytize since the example of their living is evidence enough of the positive attributes of their faith.

The only lesson here is that Brit right wing bullshit is similar to North American right wing bullshit, both of them having in common with the left-wings of the respective regions and their penchant for bullshitting. Fault of the liberal intelligentsia eh? Pity...

Also, I am sure there are way more riots - especially football rioting - than are listed on wikipedia. Rioting in England is as British as high tea and crumpets. And riots have taken place in practically all eras, under all political stripes, with or without family unity, liberals, conservatives, high or low values. Eh? What was the "social values" in Nottingham in 1958? Or Leeds in 1975? Righto old chap. Bullshit.

Would that also explain New York, Miami & LA?
