  1. I'd just like to point something out about this... 90% of the time it's not the people we're afraid to offend that are complaining. It's busy bodies who have a politically correct stick up their behind who complain the loudest.

     

    My wife works at a very diverse company in Mississauga and says the vast majority of the "minorities" there are more excited for our traditional holidays than most white people. I have become good friends with a client of mine who is from India or Pakistan and they celebrate Christmas and love it. I know these are just a couple anecdotal stories, but the evidence to the contrary is there. Why can't we embrace multiculturalism? Should we ban all Chinese, Indian, Japanese, etc. restaurants too because they don't conform to our bland North American pallette?

     

    Come on guys. I know these foreigners are different, and different can be scary (no sarcasm intended). But I think the people you should be most concerned about the assault on our traditions are your white neighbours.

     

    Again, back to my other comment in this thread. It doesn't have to be either/or. It can be both.

     

     

    They may be excited for the traditional holidays, but its not the actual holiday thats the problem, its all the background stuff, all the religion behind our traditional holidays that are the issue. Christmas and Easter being the most religious of all of them. They want the traditional turkey dinners and the festivities. and no, its not just one part of the world thats causing this issue, but they are big part of it.

     

    I remember when I was in elementary school, we had a person in our class who would step out of the class while the National Anthem was playing, because it was against their beliefs.

     

    Multiculturism is great, its when those cultures start changing things to suit them.

     

     

    heres another one, my g/f is a daycare worker, they can't put up pictures of Santa Clause due to the beliefs of a few

  2. Can I get a example of this, FloatnFly? Specifically, can you point us towards any one article or reference that will show an example of new Syrian refugees, having just arrived in Canada, trying to make Canada like Syria, or trying to take away your rights because they are offended? I would be interested to see that.

     

     

    did i say the new refugees are doing this, no. open your eyes and take a good look around you. Can;t have nativity scenes, might offend a certain group. can;t say merry christmas, might offend a certain group, can;t have halloween in schools any more, might offend a certain group. can't hang flags in windows, might offend people. we're so worried about offending immigrants, that we are completely changing our ways to accommodate them, instead of them adapting to our ways. we should be taking lead from Australia, you came here, we didn't ask for you to come here, you need to adapt to our ways, we will not change for you

  3. Without being specific, some Canadians are in their situation by course of their actions (or inaction). It's about people: Canadian or not. Most of these "non-Canadians", many of them children, left their country because of war. It's odd to read some of the comments with that story and how people want government to take care of people, perhaps the same people that don't understand or despise taxes. How much socialism do you want and how much are you prepared to pay. Now here's to hoping Simcoe produces 7 inches for the lakers.

     

     

    so if not the homeless, then how about more help for seniors, or those that don't get the benefit of a union pension, and have to rely on CPP

     

    Canada is losing its identity as a nation, hell, we can't take a piss without offending some religion or another, can;t fly a flag cause it will offend someone, we can't have Halloween in schools anymore cause it offends someone, its black and orange day, Christmas is slowly by the wayside as well cause it offends a certain group of people.

     

    People leave their country to have a better life here, but then try to make this country like the one they just left, and our government is just accepting it

  4. Easy to see where this thread is going. This isn't an either or scenario. You come across as having a major chip on your shoulder and a great deal of resentment towards non Canadians. You manage to work it into countless threads. Obviously the woman should not be recovering in a homeless shelter but that's completely its own issue.

     

     

    so enlighten us, why is it we're spending all this time, money and resources to make sure that non canadians have, a place to live, warm clothing, and a job. meanwhile we have how many tens of thousands of homeless canadians that can't make ends meet? Why can't we take care of our own people like we take care of non canadians and refugees? Thats right, its because canadians aren't the minority, and minority makes the government look good.

     

    Im all for helping others, but we need to make sure that everyone is being helped the same way.

  5. Free man on the land!? It kind of sounds like one of their tactics

     

    I knew a guy in north bay who tried to use the Free Man On The Land system to squat in and take "ownership" of a house that was for sale. He lost everything.. Not that he had much to start with, that idiot . This stuff works in some places in the U.S. apparently but up here it's completely invalid

     

     

    down in Florida, you're at risk of losing your house to squater if you're gone for a week

  6. Good for a chuckle, but almost think he's done some research for the verbage considering payment in gold.

     

    Now that I have my original 1886 land patent in my hand, for my property up North, I can actually refuse access to even a CO or Law enforcement as they have no right to enter under the king's law, which is valid forever, and forever hasn't come yet!

    Kings deeds are fun aren't they. Theres a property I fish where the owner has a Kings deed that includes the river bed.

  7. stay away from those site. a good one is malwarebytes. you get the full version for a bit, but then get the trial version which only missing a couple of features like the web browsing security from the full version. just have to open it up every couple of weeks, update the database and run and full scan, will get rid of any malware quick and easy

  8.  

    Correction; there are only two baseline video card manufacturers in the world; NVIDIA and AMD. I thought NVIDIA was owned by Intel by that is incorrect.

     

    The other manufacturers (ASUS, MSI, gigabyte, etc) license the architecture from NVIDIA/AMD and merely re-package the product.

     

    Gigabyte is amazing by the way. Great bang for the buck, and above all the products just work. I've never had a gigabyte motherboard fail to POST. They come up with firmware updates quickly, too.

     

     

    pretty sure each company has their own design and chipset, they license the rendering engines from nvidia or amd
