A nuke certainly isn't necessary to bring down NK. With the military might of the USA they should be able to do the deed without using nukes... That being said, NK is definitely looking for a fight, and is definitely building an arsenal of nukes. Unfortunately they aren't bound by the same...

Some people just don't understand the importance of liquidity.

Yes the theory goes out the window if double digit inflation hits. But lets remember, we are not even in an inflationary period, let alone double digit inflation...A lot of people speculating on inflation and even hyper inflation, but the fact still remains that there is currently <b>no</b>...

I don't think theoretically corporations care. I don't think theoretically politicians are honest. And just because someone says something doesn't make it theoretical. I'm not sure if it is required by law or not, but in Canada, employers typically give annual minimum 2% wage increases...

This also caused major uproar in Canada. Mexico too I suspect. He seems to have backed off that rhetoric for now, though.

Believe me, Obama was a god in Canada when first elected, but his popularity has plummeted since the "Buy American" clause was put into the stimulus bill. Obama denounces protectionism, but has done nothing to stop the Buy American clause. He's the president of the US fucking A. Surely he...

Being in the military and bullying people are two separate points. Obama still could have served and not bullied other countries... My criticism comes from the fact that George Bush was slammed for only joining the gaurd, but Obama does not face the same criticism for not having served. It...

This is not a point in Obama's favor you realize...

Sometimes be late by 1 day and they'll fuck you.

A lot of concern in Canada over this possibility right now. After the "buy American" clause was announced in the stimulus bill, many municipalities in Western Canada voted to disallow any American companies from bidding on contracts for their own infastructure projects. This is small scale...

A report was just released yesterday in Canada stating how credit markets are freeing up and loans are up in Canada. They expect increased auto sales for the rest of 2009 due to lower pricing and ease of loan approval. They stressed the fact that loans will not be given out to high default...

Being atheist does not mean you don't have morals! It's not necessary to believe in god to have morals. This story is proof that religious people are no better than atheists when it comes to morals.

I am curious as to how anyone knows what the temperature was 400,000 years ago?

While it may show weakness by admitting he smokes, I think it's offset by his honesty. He could have easily stood there and told everyone he doesn't smoke; end of story. I am not necessarily an Obama supporter but I do respect him for coming clean on this issue.

Garbage collection should be considered an essential service. They should not be allowed to go on strike.

Dude, those are <b>COMBINED</b> federal and provincial tax rates in your link...do the calculation with the rates you just posted in your link and you will see that it comes out to the same amount. A common misconception when people are looking at tax rates is to assume someone's entire...
