Technically you just have to remove yourself from the gene pool. (You can do that without dying) And you can get an 'honorable mention' for coming close. Though this article has nothing to do with that at all. |

My point exactly. They are POOR! Yet manage to have a life expectancy comparable to that of the richest country in the world! Pennies on the dollar...thanks for making my point. Live free or die. I'd rather have a good life with crap healthcare than a crap life with good healthcare. You can force a... |

I understand you don't know what one basic concept of trade, comparative advantage , is. Heh. Liberal types tend to think everything is zero-sum. They aren't. And that's why a "trade deficit" doesn't matter. When did I ever even mention "trade deficit"? Try to keep up. When did ... |

Not really. http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/ Your site actually proves my point. It says: President Bush expanded the federal budget by a historic $700 billion through 2008 President Bush began a string of expensive financial bailouts Presi... |

Right now, You hear all the right-wingers now bitching about Obama's spending and accusing him of being a socailist. Where were all those folks when Bush was dropping tens of millions of taxpayers wealth PER DAY on the Iraq debacle? Or creating huge new bureacracies like the Department of Homeland ... |

For his research, Straus also analyzed surveys done by nearly 18,000 students in 32 countries — including Canada — and found that, generally, countries with high national-average IQs were nations that had banned, or do not socially accept, spanking. The exceptions were the top five countries on the... |

Zipperfish Zipperfish: The apology is from Health Canada. This is typical Conservatvie tactics. Blame the bureacracy.
You honestly believe any of our sitting MPs had anything to do with this?

Tell you what, let's get Health Canada to do this on a massive scale and send out the exact same shipments to every major city in the country. If that happened, there would be a major panic. I wouldn't panic. I'd be shocked that the government had the foresight to do something like that, but I woul... |

I don't think my parents really ever overdid the current events. Edit: Come to think of it I do remember the challenger accident being discussed at length. Not necessarily by them, but definitely the first media storm I can recall. For me actively seeking out news: 1988 - Ben Johnson olympic scandal |

It was a courtesy meeting. Harper will meet with all the leaders. TweedleJack and TweedleGilles are going to vote to overthrow the government no matter what so Layton can give a Santa Claus list to Harper as long as his arm and it won't change a damned thing. Is Santa Claus a socialist? Giving stuf... |

They would not make the same pay as i would specifically because of having a union. The same cant be said for the guy working at Wendy's who has been there for three years and makes 10.50 while the new 14 year old who just started makes the same. Indeed. You could be even less useful than the new g... |
