I think comedy holds the greatest truths about humanity because it is rooted in the tragedy that we all live through at some points in our lives but it spins it and makes it a learning experience and an uplifting experience, so my vote is for George Carlin.
Surfpirate replies on Jun 28, 2018:
@RobLawrence Jim Jefferies is one of my favourite current comics but since George did all the early ground breaking and heavy lifting, not to mention staying power I have to give him the nod. Steve Hughes is another Aussie comic that is very good, he had a bit of a spell with depression but he seems to be pulling out of it, tragedy and comedy are opposite sides of the same coin.

@Jarrett I think that a person can be a christian and still be a good person, although I think they will have a better chance of being a good person if they just read the book and don't attend services. I still think they would be delusional and living in a fantasy world but that's okay too, so long as they are kind and good. What I don't believe, as previously stated above is that being a xstian automatically makes you a good person, the opposite is more likely to be true from my personal experience.

@Slava3 Looks like Glen Manor Dr. N., I owned a 6-plex on that street but south of Queen, back in the 80's. Geddy Lee used to live on that street, he had a very cool, red Ferrari back when nobody drove them but it was always clogging up because he drove it down Queen St. at 40 km/h. My buddy Steve S. used to be paid by the local exotic car mechanic to take it out on the Gardiner and blow the crap out of the engine, Steve said it really hummed at 200 km/h but he had to go really slow past the OPP that hung out in the parking lot at Kew Beach. lol

@kenriley They are tucked in with a piece of celery as garnish but they have a lot more kick than the celery. Canadians prefer the Bloody Caesar over the Bloody Mary and we tend to dress it up with more garnishes that include everything from pickles to shrimp to celery to spicy pickled beans, otherwise it is the same drink as a Bloody Mary but with Clamato juice instead of plain Tomato juice. You can also substitute Canadian Rye Whisky instead of the Vodka if you so choose.

@Spinliesel The problem is the vapour cloud that comes off the gasoline, if you had waited a bit longer to light the gasoline soaked debris it would have exploded in your face, the diesel helps to slow the vapour development but it is still dodgy. I gallon of gasoline has the same explosive energy as a stick of TNT so you really want to be careful. A better idea would be to start a small fire in the barrel with paper or other tinder, then toss in a mixture of gasoline and diesel or even some old motor oil, it doesn't take a lot to make a big fire so just a couple of ounces is plenty.

@GipsyOfNewSpain Hmm, you state that all banana republics are multi-party but when I note correctly that until recently the states that are traditionally identified with being banana republics were actually 2 party systems, you pull the race card? Why is a republic a banana republic? Does it have anything to do with bananas? Do actual multi-party states like Germany, France, Canada, Australia, the UK, Italy, etc have a major banana crop? Not that I am aware of.
What's with this segue into various subgroups based upon race and religion, why would political parties breakdown along those lines? They don't seem to do so in the rest of the world, not unless your world view ends at the borders to the lower 48. I'm unpleasantly surprised that you would express these view as someone who has supposedly traveled quite extensively according to your Bio.

Western Allies such as Germany, France, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Italy, etc. are better examples of multi-party systems as this is more representative of democracy and is less polarized, making the threat of civil war less likely.
It is equally valid to say that Hillary could have stepped aside and thrown her support behind Bernie in order to ride that populist tide to victory but she didn't either but that's a 2 party system for you, corrupt to the bone.

Western Allies such as Germany, France, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, Italy, etc. are better examples of multi-party systems as this is more representative of democracy and is less polarized, making the threat of civil war less likely.
It is equally valid to say that Hillary could have stepped aside and thrown her support behind Bernie in order to ride that populist tide to victory but she didn't either but that's a 2 party system for you, corrupt to the bone.

Problem with a 3rd party is that it becomes the whore, sleeping with one party for this, with the other party for that... selling votes and support not in principle but to the highest bidder. Democratic Capitalism for Suckers!
Surfpirate replies on Jun 26, 2018:
@GipsyOfNewSpain I'm not suggesting that politicians wouldn't be less crooked under a multiparty system, merely that it would be harder for them to cut a deal in their best interests and in the worst interests of the public. A 2 party system is just too easy to corrupt but throw in a couple more players and it become much more difficult for the crooks to organize against the people. Imagine how hard it would be to pull off a government shut down with 4 parties, it's just too good of an opportunity for at least two of the four crooks to stab the other two in the back, you could never pull it off but with only two parties it becomes a fait accompli.

3 parties is better than 2 but not by much - 5 or 6 parties will actually get things done, it will take a little longer but the outcome will be for the majority of the people instead of the minority of elites that currently win all the benefits.

Surfpirate replies on Jun 24, 2018:
@Jolanta I'm in Canada, we don't even assassinate our Prime Ministers up here. The last guy who got past the Prime Minister's security team got taken down by Prime Minister Chretien himself, hand to the throat, shot to the head and down on the ground. Canadians are polite but they'll punch your lights out if you get in their face, it's just how we play the game. I'm a bit disappointed that our current PM Trudeau didn't punch El Cheeto in the head couple of times on his last visit, might of knocked some sense into him.
Besides, everybody dies, one shouldn't take that shit too seriously.

The women had great fun together and I think the two with the glass ornaments will wind up in the Faerie Garden of one of the girlfriends who came out. They used old plastic planters that some seedums came in as the molds and lined them with saran wrap instead of using a release agent like oil, it worked very well.

@Lukian I was certainly glad that they backed us up for backing them up, I still can't believe that David did that. Writing cheques with his mouth that his body couldn't cash. lol

Can we quite the “White Privilege” nonsense?
Surfpirate comments on Jun 22, 2018:
Nobody ever got pulled over and shot for driving a nice car while White. Just deal with it, you can't change it because it occurs at a subconscious level for the most part but what you can do is cut the other guy some slack instead of presuming that he is on an equal footing with you because he's ...

@Renickulous maybe you need to look for the solutions to your problems within instead of blaming them on others, especially when you base it on the colour of their skin. It's that mindset that breeds racist hatred, it occurs in the mind because that's the where the difference is, only in the head/

@Renickulous Sounds like you have it all figured out. I won't bother to contest what you want to believe is the truth, your truth.

What would you think if a religious person said they did not believe in magic ?
Surfpirate comments on Jun 22, 2018:
To believe in Religion is to believe in Magic, the Bible is their magic book and it is filled with stories of magical beings doing magical things. Her statement is a contradiction.

@mordant It is a complicated mess to be sure. If you have the money then you may get some help but even then it is at best 50/50.
