Nope, not wool. And no, it's not a by-product of the oil industry either.

Where are you from, Wolf? BC and northern New Brunswick are both "logging" areas that've gotten hit hard lately. There was just a report on the evening news that sales of craft beer (aka micro brews) are skyrocketing in Canada, while other alcohol is staying the same. I guess people see good...

No, but that'd be kinda ironic. And for the next guess - it's not sand either. Saudi Arabia actually imported sand from Italy once, for some development going up in Riyadh. It must've been like taking coal to Newcastle!

It's not glass, but the idea of Saudi porn has got me a little hot & bothered.

Here's one: Other than oil & gas products, what is Saudi Arabia's largest single export commodity?

Around the world, the economic outlook pretty much sucks. Thousands are losing their jobs in the EU, the USA, and Canada. People's retirement savings are going down the tubes. Governments are spending trillions of dollars and Euro to prop up failing businesses. But that's all hard to understand...

I don't know for sure, but in common Canadian useage both sentences would mean exactly the same thing. "like and "as" are convergent terms - becomming interchangeable in everyday use.  So the meaning of both sentences, to me, is "...so we pledged to the great leader in the same manner expected...

Since when has reality ever mattered when making a good analogy?

Yeah. I know. But we both like to split hairs, man. It'd be as if McCain had picked Joe Liebermann. The guy might caucus with the GOP these days, but he's still a Democrat at heart.

Harrison's Vice President was of the same party, actually. John Tyler was a Democrat (a Jacksonian, namely) for most of his career, but split with that party due to some questions about states' rights and customs duties. He joined the nascent Whig party, at about the same time as Harrison did...

I'm with Onhell on this one. Immigrants are fine and dandy. When they break the laws before they even step foot on the soil, though....that's what gives them a bad name. Added to the general lawlessness of it all, there are other problems: When someone comes to a country illegally, they cannot...

I sent you a letter in Sept., Onhell! You're the fuckstick who hasn't written me back  :P

How can the state legitimatly believe that these people are capable - physically, financially, and psychologically - of raising this innocent baby to be a healthy, well-adjusted citizen? Feck, they sure as hell aren't. Since the state is footing most of the bills for the kid's housing, food...

Hey everyone! Just thought I'd make a triumphant return to the forums. I really do miss some of the posts on here. I hope the place hasn't burnt to the ground during my long absence!

I'm late to t he discussion, like always, but here're my two cents: I hate the fact that governments are involved in marriage at all! Love whomever you want, do whatever you like, marry whomever you want. I'm ok with gay marriage, I'm ok with straight marriage, and I really don't see what the...

Count me in, Onhell. I can't believe we've known each other (albeit online) for this long and never actually communicated outside of MSN. I'll send you a private message with my mailing address.

What I like about the USA? I love the fact that they are pretty much the only nation in the world that has tried from the outset to accept everyone. Sure, there are terrible examples of bigotry and prejudice toward various groups (Indians, blacks, Irish, etc) but no other country has had to deal...

I want to clarify something that REALLY pisses me off about this debate: BABY seals (the little white ones) are not allowed to be hunted. Only adults over a certain size are taken. End of story.  Stop using the image, Foro et al., to tug on people's heartstrings. It's false. it's a lie...

I actually remember reading about this currency. I don't remember the exact place though. One of the pre-Columbian civillizations of the Americas?

Re: USA Elections: Candidates Comparison What makes it REALLY interesting is that if Edwards stays on until the DNC, he'll likley make it so neither B. Hussein Obama and Billary Clinton get the majority needed for the nomination on the first ballot. If they work like I think they do, one the...
