Madness at the gun show

It's all about perspective. Jim Carrey does a nice job laying it out.

Ohmigod, that's good. What's just as funny is the comments. He really plucked some gun nutz' strings. Strings are what they have where normal people have a sense of humor.

PLEASE make sure to release the detailed working plans to the Internet as soon as it's up and running. Remember what happened to Dr. Barkley when he delayed.

While you work on that, I'll perfect my rooftop-mounted vaporizing laser which will keep everything larger than a robin out of my yard. Especially: No zombies, no revenuers, and no more Jayzuss Freaks. I came home to a bloomin' Watchtower the other day...I guess I just need to remember to strip nekkid before answering the door to them, huh? (That should be enough for them to tell others of their kind to give my house a wide berth, eh?)

Sublety is not Carrey's style. You have to like that down-home, heavy-handed style of humor -- delivered with a brick.

For general labour, yes - but not for waitressing and some other jobs where they figure the tips will make up the difference.

A LOT of it IS pissed out of a boot, as you put it. Totally wasted.

I stated what I thought "fair wage" was. Now in the USA the wage-earner needs to pay his health insurance out of his take-home pay, while in Canada it is paid by taxes deducted before he gets his pay and by the employer as a mandated "benefit"

Sure, but the cost of doing business in the USA is less than in Canada

- just like the cost of living.

No, not owned by the government - but looks like they are feeding at the public teet - so should be controlled.

The "rules" did nothing to "regulate" the banks.

I sure hope homeland security and the other law enforcement agencies read these newsgroups -- there is a lot of grounds for charges of treason on these groups every single day.

Yup. Because in 1812 we drove the" damned yankees" back across the border. And because the "common good" is more important to Canadians, on the whole, than the "personal rights".

We got saddled with the "charter of rights and freedoms" by our old friend " Peter Waterhole" a few decades ago, which has made things a little harder as now every Tom Dick and Harry has his "rights" guaranteed, without having his "responsibilities" also laid out by law.

I wouldn't want to stand in front of a .22 coming my way. They may be small compared to others and not the highest velocity, but still very deadly nonetheless.

Think again Gunner. The charter of rights and freedoms guarantees us at least as many rights and freedoms as your much-ammended constitution.. Some DIFFERENT ones, but no less.

Oh, HORSESHIT, clare! You're getting as bad as Huntress. Nobody is threatening anyone, gov't or otherwise, or arrests would already have been made and bodies sequestered. Give it a rest.

We sense things coming down the pike and are getting ready to hole-up SECURELY while it goes on around us. It's prepping, not treason.

That sounds too much like our own (speaking-weasel-led) gov't at work.

[Larry sez, acknowledging his veiled threat -- and knowing that a veiled threat is a real threat, behind a veil...]

"Anyway, the only threat was a veiled "We're out here, Mr. & Mrs. Politician, and we're getting awfully antsy with your actions of late. Please stay in line and heed our wishes, Mr. Public Servant, or we'll have to steer you with a firmer hand." What was Gunner's quote regarding public outcry? "From the soapbox, to the ballot box, to the cartridge box." This guy was a visual cue, a precursor, for that statement's logical outcome...since they haven't taken the first two cues to heed. "

The "statement's logical outcome" is an elected official with a bullet in him. No amount of bobbing and weaving gets you around that.

Sure he did. It's the part you clipped out.

He was very careful not to identify an individual, which is what keeps his butt out of trouble. But that was a threat.

Refresh my memory. Is he a 'has been', or a 'never was'?

C: Both of the above.

He's probably the highest paid (gross) comedian of all time...so far.

He married the Tom Skerrit's gorgeous deputy (Lauren Holly) in that lez-daughter-of-the-cop series, Picket Fences. Daughter went on to witchy hotness in Charmed.

He was pretty good in The Mask, but I couldn't watch the rest of his crap, such as Dumb and Dumber.

It's a libertarian socialism which trusts neither capitalists nor bureaucrats.

To oversimplify, the Right praises others' personal achievements, the Left resents them. And that's reflected in the sorry lot Dems have to build an Administration from.
