  1. Ya,i know, but if i start thinking that way, i may as well admit to myself that Santa isn`t real,and the easter bunny buys all those eggs he delivers. And life wouldn`t be fun anymore.
  2. Can you imagine the looks he`d get pulling up to the dock in that thing, or even better trolling past someone sitting on shore !!!!YIKES!!!!!! A definate improvement Randy.......JK nice make up. Paul
  3. heres a spooky little backdrop for your little fellow.Mad just for him.Better be careful where he lifts his leg
  4. Seller paid taxes when he either manufactured the product or purchased it for resale.Thats where His part of the taxes are.He paid the tax, so he sure as heck ain't gonna lose that money.He will either deduct it from what he owes the tax man or hide it in the price No ifs ands or butts.If he is legit, he pays tax. no way around it.The Gov gets thier cut from him, but not from the purchaser.At least not directly,they collect your part from him.Unless he is native american, then no one profits but the native american.And if he charges tax to you,which he probably does somewhere, he keeps that too.
  5. Internet catalogues are great.Even though YOU aren't paying tax, the seller IS.Plus if he is a shrewd bussiness man, he has hidden an amount in the price representing the tax you would have paid on the sale amount(this assuming that the seller does not live on a reservation somewhere)He knows that your not paying tax, but he is. Now lets caculate quickly.Lets say you buy for 100 per month on the Res.depending on what your buying, lets say 10Percent should got to taxes, to make it easy to caculate.So your looking at $1320 dollars that would have gone to taxes,per year, just on your own purchases.I figure that there is probably a million people at least who do the same thing.So now your looking at $1,320,000.00 per year of taxes that was robbed from me and all the other canadians who pay thier taxes even though they dont like it.This is a vastly underestimated calculation.The real figures are much much higher.PLUS, and this is the MAIN point here.What you SAVED last year, is recuperated in the next budget because the government has to increase taxes to make up for the cheaters out there who DONT LIKE to pay them. Interesting, don,t you think Wheter its you, or me, the Gov always gets its taxes,so why not share the load and hope the next Gov will be better than this one. BTW i know your american,so just substitute american for canadian in this post.
  6. I have an opininion on buying anything on the indian reservations in my area.Just suffice it to say that they pay no taxes, contribute very little to the coffres of the Canadian Gov.,When i spend my money there, none of it goes back to help pay for all the Gov funded projects that make my life easier.NOT SAYING that the Gov is by any means worthy of distributing my taxes, just dont want to contribute to the problem.And don't forget, this is ONLY MY OPINION and i dont ask anyone else to support it.
  7. kinda looks like downtown montreal during summer construction blitz. No joke

  10. so nothing has chaged after all these years.Sad indeed.Back in the 70's it was the same thing french rednecks against the english rednecks.Silly,silly,silly Thank god you have 40 channels and upper and lower sidebands.
  11. skip is when a radio signal is 'bounced' from layers in the atmosphere to the ground and back again.when conditions are right,usually a cloudy windless evening, you can actually communicate with someone hundreds and even 1000's of miles away.
