Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured

I kind of see where dboy is coming from. It's not that people in Vancouver are too complacent or they aren't afraid enough - it's that people in the UK have a disproportionate fear of crime against...

Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured

In Canada there would probably be a unionized crown corporation to go along with the ones that run gambling and booze. You see the state really is like the Mafia.

Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured

The thing is we know from the precedent of what happened with alcohol that this wouldn't happen. You don't see organized crime producing it's own alcohol to sell - there just isn't any money in it...

Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured

Why is it strange anyway? Plenty is spent on telling people to eat less and exercise more, but...

Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured

Yes, there is too much money in the 'war on drugs' for the US to liberalize on a federal level - it will have to come from individual states. You never know, it might happen eventually as there are...

Re: Vancouver Shooting - 10 injured
