Anyone seen Donnie Darko?

Looks like this thread is a fail.

In Canada an AR-15 is classified as a restricted gun, so is subjected to tighter controls than non-restricted (most handguns, rifles). I am not sure how many one is legally entitled to own.

Allowed to have rifles, handguns etc. but they must be registered and you must own a gun licence. I believe you are also required to notify police any time you take your handgun out of your house as well. Automatic weapons are banned. The new Conservative government is planning to scrap...

Freedom of choice. Don't require citizens to give up their guns, and don't require citizens to acquire guns. Let them choose.

The better Godfather movie - 1 or 2?

I'll throw my hat into the glad Heat lost ring as well.

I agree that the creativity aspect is just pushed back in the game. Given the enormous amount of possible moves and situations in any given chess game, I would think it is near impossible to memorize certain moves and situations for the entire game. Once the game reaches the mid-point, I think...

Insufficient revenue is certainly NOT the issue. You would not need revenue if you had no expenses. The only reason a government needs more revenue is because it has more expenses.

Incredibly misleading and cherry picked. What was going on in the world in 1945?

Whether or not payments in gold is recognized by governments is irrelevant. What you're describing is an asset. Technically, I can sell my house for "legal tender", and then pay my bills with it. Does that make my house a currency? Surely you are smart enough to figure this out. A...

:D Here we go.

What old wore out argument? You said gold is a currency in times like these. Gold isn't a currency. Gold is an asset. I can't pay my bills in gold coins.

Times like what? Do you see a lot of people buying groceries in gold nuggets? Where in the world are they using gold as a currency?

So be it. We don't need nukes, it's a gigantic cost that will in all likelihood never get used. We've done just fine up until this point with a comparitevly puny (yet incredibly tough) military.

Always been a floor guy myself. I like to watch where I walk.

[/b] Agreed. [/b] Correct, universal healthcare does not equal better healthcare. But it does equal cheaper healthcare. Again, cost/benefit. As to the new Obamacare style system in the USA, I can't comment as I have not kept up with specifics. The cost/benefit trade-off in that...
