Well, let's have a look at some basic numbers. The USA has about 120 guns per hundred population. Canada has about 35 guns per hundred population. It's not strictly apples to apples but the cultures are similar enough that we should be able to make a ballpark comparison. So, if we trust in...

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I never miss the people I haven't seen. There's so many others that it really doesn't matter to me at all whether somebody I haven't seen before leaves or not. It's just not important. It matters to me much more that somebody that I have seen and like is...

Hence the federal change is doomed to failure comment that I made. State changes are entirely possible though, just cumbersome, as you need to wend your way through the NRA funded court opposition to make change. Meh. It is what it is.

It seems to have less to do with legislation than it does with what can get through the courts. Federal stuff is pretty much doomed to failure and every state initiative has to go through reams of judicial actions and appeals against them. It has less to do with who's in power than it does with...

100% agree. The "I'm going to retire" thing to me is a clear sign that I should be investing time in someone else with whom I can create a lasting association and level of comfort rather than someone who has checked out. Of course some (not all by any means) of the "I'm going to retire"...

Mass shooting number 324 this year so far., according to the gun violence archive. All routine. Nothing to get excited about. Thoughts and prayers, yadda, yadda, yadda.

If she's not there then someone else is. It's never good to get fixated on particular individuals because the industry is so fluid and because people inevitably come and go. She's no longer available? Oh well, there's a few thousand others who can fill the space. Neither clients nor SPs are...

LOL. Yes, unless you're looking for a lot of finger pointing and yelling and screaming then politics forums are not for you. The funny thing is, if you put the issues aside and instead talk about the structure of government and what's wrong you'll often find a lot of room for agreement between...

you're right. I wasn't aware of that. Is that in their written terms and conditions or is it based on a Canada specific court ruling?

I have also been told to mention spy cameras. I don't usually bother looking for them, but I do understand it can be a problem. Maybe someone with more expertise can weigh in on good preventative techniques against spycams.

I was reminded today that drink drugging is not just an international thing, and that I should mention it. Usual practice is not to drink anything or eat anything that you didn't bring yourself, and if your intention is to share anything then whatever you bring should be unopened with the seal...

The ladies value themselves and their services differently, as well as offering different things which may also affect pricing, and you'd have to ask each one individually why they feel that way. Even so I doubt you'd get answer that you'd find useful. If a lady is too expensive for you then...

They're all pretty. Worry more about the service than the looks. An interesting girl will be much more enjoyable than one who is only pretty.

I said I wouldn't say anything about LC's case, and I won't. I will say one thing generally, and then I'll shut up about it, because we have a whole other thread dedicated to this, in part. For me it is the same. I don't care about the mechanism that gets you to that point, whether it's a...

Instead of using the Ebay default shipping permissions you could try reaching out directly to the vendor in their contact forum and see if they will make separate arrangements for you. Most won't, but some do. Worth asking anyway.

It's your situation. I will defer to you. No insult was meant to you at all.

Yes, that's the problem. You pay high shipping costs twice. Ebay is no bargain anymore for many things. If you can find what you want on Amazon and ship it to a forwarder it could be worthwhile, but likely not for a $25 item.

You would expect anyone to know better, colleague or not, including the client. Fortunately, as far as we know nothing bad has been done with the information yet. This is like every guy out there that has gone through a screening process and to whom nothing bad has happened (so far). The...

I can't speak to having an American Express, because I haven't had one for years and years. If that kind of shipping is an Amex perk then go for it. However, a 10lb package from the US to Canada using myus.com costs somewhere around $30-35 USD. That's a really high rate for a one off purchase...

they're expensive for just a one off purchase..I used to use them when I lived in central america and even on a subscription basis it would be really expensive against the cost of a $25 item.
