PT6A posted:Not to mention: it's not going to increase problems, because I doubt there's a lot of people saying "I'd love to take heroin/cocaine/meth/etc. but the only problem is it's illegal!" I wouldn't touch any of that poo poo if it were legalized. I'm not saying it will solve all problems, but it could well reduce a lot of them. Gonna have to disagree with this point. I've talked to plenty of people who say they would do heroin if they were assured of its composition and potency. Of course those people are less likely to be problem users, and overall I'm in favor of legalizing, regulating and taxing everything. Saltin posted:This sounds like an argument for decriminalization, not legalization. Decriminalization doesn't assure quality standards. You'll still find heroin laced with fentanyl with decriminalization. By legalizing and regulating you have a mechanism to guarantee that products are properly labelled.

Coylter posted:Here is a chart showing single engine fighters as more reliable than dual engine: If I'm reading this chart right, one of the five F-16 engine variants has had no failures, and all of them are more reliable than fighters designed in the 50's and 60's. The F-22 (0.58 failures per 1000 flight hours) and F-15 (0.48) are still more reliable than four of the five F-16 variants (0.92+), and none of these are planes that Canada is considering to replace our CF-18s.

I voted against the HST, but only because I hated the BC Liberals. Twelve months after it was repealed I started working at an accounting firm, so I got to sort through the aftermath of the transition. Basically what I'm saying is referendums are stupid.

THC posted:Justin Trudeau has told his senior lieutenants to draw up plans to make the Energy East pipeline and the Trans Mountain expansion in British Columbia a reality. And with some token gestures towards the environment, the Liberals can probably get it done with little backlash. Conservative politicians will learn nothing from this, while conservative voters will give the Liberals no credit for getting the pipelines approved.

Still, I suspect even he would have a problem with watching his own child (if he'd had one) die an agonizing, horrible death by refusing to seek medical treatment. That's how hosed up these parents are, IMO. Here's the real question: would you let your own child die an agonizing, horrible death to prevent the Holocaust?

It further convinced bigots that their daughters aren't safe in public bathrooms with transwomen, and it satisfied your desire to see people you disagree with physically punished. You're creepy.

That seems like such a profound lack of judgement on a really basic level. So yeah, I'm with Ikantski on this. For me the most bizarre part of this entire thing is that his goal was to speed up the process of limiting debate on a bill that might not even be constitutional.
