- When I was in grade school the bus distance limit was 1.10 miles from the school. So if you lived within that range, you walked -- nm - oblique Jan 16, 06:23

- Is the mile walk through a crack neighborhood? -- nm - Naked Crazy JaxSean Jan 16, 06:19 6
  - this is the thing. It really depends on the area, but if the parents think they can do it, then fine. - CQ Jan 16, 06:22 4
    - How much does it depend on the area though? I mean, if we assume abduction is the risk that folks are concerned about - ty97 Jan 16, 06:23 3
      - I meant more like traffic, traffic lights, urban settings. A mile in NYC is different than a mile in Montauk -- nm - CQ Jan 16, 06:25 2
        
        truth - i think i'd let me kids do it in a city before a rural setting. so many people around, it's safer. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 06:29 1
        
        my kids, not 'me kids' -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 06:29

- I see no problem with them walking home on their own. -- nm - CQ Jan 16, 06:16
- that is complete crap. if the kids can handle it (and i am sure they can) that's up to the parents to decide whether to let them. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 06:10 6
  - if child protection had known what we did that age i guess several offices of them would have had nervous breakdowns -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 06:17 1
    - THIS -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 06:43
  - I agree as well. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 06:17
  - Agreed. We are raisign bubble wrap kids that can't solve their own problems because they never have to. -- nm - volnelk Jan 16, 06:13 2
    - I tie the cause to this constant fear state we seem to be in, for example people's perception that crime keeps going up. - ty97 Jan 16, 06:15 1
      - yup -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 06:56

the other big thing about Target Canada - their website was Fing terrible. No products on it at all. Just their flyer - Beaker Jan 16, 05:19 13
- On the surface this makes sense to me. They would want to get a foothold in the country before setting up a whole online distribution center model. -- nm - ty97 Jan 16, 05:25 11
  - It sounds backwards to me. A chain store is going to rely on distribution. Why not leverage that into online sales from the get-go? - Roger More Jan 16, 05:39 4
    - Target had 133 stores in Canada and only needed a distribution model (and related inventory) to cover that limited number of stores - ty97 Jan 16, 05:42 3
      - But if you're entering a new market with existing competitors and not meeting customer expectations... - Roger More Jan 16, 06:50
      - even if they didn't do shipping, just have their inventory on their site. Alot of complaints from people I know about it -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 05:54 1
        
        But again, that's a heavy infrastructure expense to implement. - ty97 Jan 16, 05:56
  - This satire site article nails it down pretty well. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 16, 05:30 5
    - The Manatee is great -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 05:55 2
      - It's always funny when people get busted thinking it's a real site. -- nm - Shaun Jan 16, 05:56 1
        
        yup. Their 4 PM curfew for Halloween story was fantastic in getting people to freak out -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 05:57
    - I think the satire site misses the point that this model works exceedingly well for Target in the US. - ty97 Jan 16, 05:40 1
      - "Americans, on the other hand, will buy anything as long as it’s surrounded by bright-red logos and the illusion of quality.” -- nm - Shaun Jan 16, 05:49
- It's like Walmart.ca from ~3 years ago. Just a big product dump site with zero ability to actually do anything. -- nm - Shaun Jan 16, 05:24
Krusty alert: Brook Lopez might be on his way to the Thunder -- (link) - Beaker Jan 16, 05:18 2
- Playground legend, Stephenson? Hahaha! Yeah, he can ball but he's far from a legend anywhere but in that writers mind. Also, I guess Lopez is - Krusty Jan 16, 05:31 1
  - I don't know that bringing that head case back home is a good idea. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 05:31

Salman Rushdie defends the absolute right to free speech against ‘the but-brigade’ -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 00:48 12
- Yes! Not buts about it. "...the moment you limit free speech, it’s not free speech.” -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 05:34 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - no there is actually just one problem - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 07:22
- The right to free speech also includes the right to express distaste of the speech used by others. I'll give Salman Rushdie the benefit of the doubt - Loyola Jan 16, 02:39 8
  - yes free speach is free speach - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 02:42 7
    - [deleted]
    - No one is arguing that it's negotiable. It is a matter of personal choice if one wants to insult others. - Loyola Jan 16, 02:56 5
      - like all free speecn is a matter of personal choice yes - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 03:01 4
        
        You equate expressing distaste with the speech of others akin to attempting to stymie free speech. It is a mistake to do so. - Loyola Jan 16, 03:13 3
        
        no i am not actually you can critizie me all you want thats your right but - DaneDukeNuuk Jan 16, 03:32 2
        
        I agree. It is the responsibility of the sender as to how they wish to conduct themselves. Peace out. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 03:36 1

- Pretty much the same here. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 15, 21:07 2
  - For me, the concept of conditioning it without washing it basically would accelerate what naturally happens. -- nm - Ultron Jan 15, 21:15
  - My scalp starts to itch if I don't wash everyday. -- nm - tobor.2 Jan 15, 21:11
