PT6A posted:Are cops really harsh about PI in the States or something? I know a guy who's gotten a few here in Calgary, but that's because he gets really drunk and he tends to have a lovely attitude when drunk. I don't know anyone else that's ever received one here, and I know plenty of people that regularly walk home quite intoxicated (probably 0.15 or drunker). You basically have to be causing a scene of some sort before the cops will even consider giving you a ticket, and then you have to be a prick to them before they'll actually give you one. Its so cute that you think that Calgary is anything like the US.

PT6A posted:I don't, hence the reason I was asking. At the same time, we're now a city of over a million people so it's not like some tiny, backward village. You can take your attitude and shove it up your rear end. Yes, its a city of over 1 million people and has things like trains and working bus systems and a well constructed mixed use central business district. These are things that much larger US cities do not have. I was there last week for a conference. Calgary is so much nicer than Houston is not funny.

PT6A posted:Really? I always thought our transit system was basically on par with the States (and not the cities like New York where it's actually decent). And I always saw our CBD as "mixed use, but mainly for business" based on the fact that there's hardly anyone around after 6PM. If major cities in the States are even worse than Calgary, which is basically Canada's monument to lovely urban planning, then... okay, maybe y'all are hosed. Stuff was open for dinner downtown though - in many US cities restaurants in the CBD are not open for dinner.

Amused to Death posted:Fixed that for you. I mean booze has been a huge part of having fun in social situations in the western world since the Greek polis and the Roman republic. Hell, we're drinking substantially less these days than people in the revolutionary war era. Old Kingdom egypt too so peg it at 5000 years.

f#a# posted:(that was enough of an experience to get me to always lug out the bike and head the 2 miles to a lightrail station, by the way) You know you can get a DUI on a bicycle. Same penalty against your drivers license too. Same goes for boats and horses.
