Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I wish people would complain instead of just putting up with crap.

For example last night at the cinema there was a parent sitting in the very front row with a 3yr old child. This child was walking around the cinema, touching the screen, continuously dropping her toy (on purpose) and the Mother did not bat an eye lid. It ruined about 30 minutes of the film. All I could see were people shaking their head and not doing a damn thing about it.

If that were in England the parent would have been shouted at and pop corn thrown at her. Here people just accepted that she had no control over her kid and raised their eyebrows.

When the movie had finished and people were walking out, she was the topic of conversation and almost everyone was moaning about "that kid".

You may be asking yourself why I didn't complain... I was at the back, but had I of been sitting near her, I would have been the first one to shout at her.

Snow plows that don't deposit a snowbank across the drive....or they come back and clear it.

Radio fivelive type broadcasts (not just sport) on the radio at an hour I'd like to hear it.

The ability to put The Guardian in my hands so I can sit and read a good newspaper.

I don't like swear filters, they are pretty ***** annoying

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

aren't you clever???

I only quoted you to see if the quote bypassed the filter too

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

it didn't work did it. best not do it too much or I'll get told off - or worse!

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

ssshhh :ohmy:

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I wasn't going to mention it, but that is what I was watching with my Wife as well :lol:

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

How the **** did you do that you clever ****.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

and what a load of cock it was too. a chick flick with an odd mention of vampires and werewolves. rubbish. i don't blame you for not mentioning it, i was one of perhaps 10 guys in the audience, who all looked about as impressed as i was.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...

My family having PR would make Canada a lot better for me!


Not enough around here for you?

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

sausages!!

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Seriously? Anything under £4.50 a bottle when I left (2004) and I'd be using it for cooking. Anything for less, especially 5 years on, and I imagine I'd be putting it on chips.
:p

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Why are you so defensive about this? Is it hitting home? If you don't like the topic of thread why respond?

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

More vacation, and friends and family coming over to share this beautiful country.


Mr ****** Duckett to stop cutting jobs in the health region :(

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Not being defensive at all merely curious about your posts where you are regularly espousing the drawbacks of the place.

Why assume that I don't like the topic?

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Because the title of the thread was, Things that would make Canada better for you . :rolleyes:

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

get rids of the brits who keep moaning about everything!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I thought it was an appropriate point to pose the question. My apologies, I should start a thread about this subject...

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

The question came over as rather a rhetorical and hackneyed one but as you don't live here I will assume sincerity. :)

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Your first mistake was to believe a statistic that Michael Moore uses to make a point.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I very much doubt that was my first mistake in life. Still, I think it's probably true that there are more firearms per capita in Canada than in the US. There are great chunks of the US where firearms are banned completely and none, that I know of, in Canada.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Empathy, sincerity, humour, less Christianity lite.....

..& a bigger **** :ohmy:

Someone I know lent his Amex card to his son. He dropped $300,000 in one night gambling on line. Wiped out a lifetime of savings.

I bet he wished Amex didn't allow gambling.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I bet he wished he hadn't let his Amex to his son more.

$300k - who has that sort of limit on their credit card anyway? (or is Amex different)

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Amex cards, proper Amex charge cards, have no limit.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Which areas are these?

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Washington DC for a start.

NYC is close, there is such a thing as a permit but no one can get one.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Who takes Amex anymore?
Now Diners Club, that was top 1970s class.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Dodgy, though, if you don't use them for a few months, or do something out of the norm. I had that problem recently.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

I believe they have either repealed or are going to repeal the DC ban as its was deemed unconstitutional.

When I lived there most people just got their guns from Virginia.

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

You've just reminded me... when I started work - in 1989, lest anyone think it was the 70s - some of the more senior guys used to get Luncheon Vouchers. They were insanely jealous of that perk. Do LVs still exist?

Re: Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 

Not a problem for me. I don't suppose there's been a day in the past fifteen years when I didn't use the Amex.
