  - laptop. -- nm - Reagen Nov 29, 15:17 1
    - Probably the only reason to keep it is in the eventuality you need to ship it somewhere for repairs. - ReluctantCynic - Go Beavers!!!! Nov 29, 15:27
Looks like the Desert Bus guys are having lots of fun :) -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:58 [flickr] 1

  - right, sorry. thanks. but I'm right otherwise, right? -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Nov 29, 14:44 4
    - i'm math illiterate but the change from 120 to 200 is 80, which is 40% of 200, no? - pigby Nov 29, 14:46 3
      - but the percent increase would be from the 120, not the 200. - truman Nov 29, 14:51 1
        
        i'm so pretty -- nm - pigby Nov 29, 14:52

I have some bad news, guys. I've decided to put Jake down. I've written a Facebook note about it, if you want the full story. The short story is that - mara Nov 29, 14:02 22

  - No, probably a German Shepherd/border collie. -- nm - mara Nov 29, 14:59 1
    - there's still some hope, your local animal shelter probably makes them available for a week, there maybe a no-kill shelter in town. - zeitgeist Nov 29, 17:23
- Oh, mara. I'm so, so sorry. -- nm - kelly Nov 29, 14:51

    - this always scares me about having multiple dogs. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 29, 14:17 1
      - Yeah, you have to be prepared, be careful, and closely supervise in the early stages. The problem areas are meal time, toys, and natural chews. - mara Nov 29, 14:20

You know something? The more I debate this party subsidy, the more I'm changing my position on them. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 13:56 30
- You still haven't explained to me how it's not still the government paying most of it with the tax return -- nm - Guigue Nov 29, 14:14 10
  - Have you asked that of me yet? I don't remember seeing it anywhere. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:31 6
    - All right, that's fine, but I don't think you can say "Canadians could fund the parties themselves" - Guigue Nov 29, 14:39 [Backboard] 5
      - I did miss that at the time. This is where it would be ideologically based. It's about accountablity. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:46 4
        
        To me, getting the vote makes them responsible enough. I guess that's where we differ -- nm - Guigue Nov 29, 14:54 3
        
        Ask how many voters think that any of the political parties is responsible to them and then maybe you'll feel differently about that. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:58 2
        
        Uh? I mean they're responsible for the money the get if someone voted for them -- nm - Guigue Nov 29, 15:27 1
        
        I just know from experience that people who donate to political parties usually get opportunities to have a say in their direction. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 15:36
  - Hmm, that's a good point. I wonder if the government paying 75% of people's donations is fundamentally different from - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:16 2
    - For your last paragraph, it's true, but NWBR's argument lies on the fact the donation will increase -- nm - Guigue Nov 29, 14:17 1
      - I wonder if anyone's done an analytical breakdown - mathematically, could disposing of the subsidy cost more than keeping it? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:18
- OK, but you've got to put back the things that were taken away when this subsidy was brought in. - Reagen Nov 29, 13:58 1
  - No you don't. Manitoba banned corporate and union donations in 2000 and didn't bring in a subsidy. (That only got added this year and it sounds... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:01
- Ah, the same thing you did for Quebec. Wonderful! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 13:56 16
  - Convince me otherwise. You obviously believe that the subsidies are a good thing. Why are they a better form of financing than people...? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 13:58 15
    - It's not that I like the subsidies, it's that I don't like not having subsidies. I don't want to have to put up with Steak-and-a-BJ fundraising. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 13:59 14
      - What do you mean by that? Steak and BJ fundraising? ('Cuz while I've gotten steaks before, I've never received a beej for my donation.) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:02 13
        
        I just mean *any* hat-holding fundraising endeavors. I'm sickened enough by campaigning, I don't want to deal with pledge drive bullshit on top of it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:03 12
        
        And you jokingly call me the martyr. If you believe that well funded parties are good for the debate, why is a letter or phone call every couple... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:06 11
        
        ... and I called you a martyr because your modus operandi is to pick a controversial subject, state that you have one position on it, then ... - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:13 9
        
        I did it on Quebec because I'm seriously questioning my prior support on their demands following the election and wasn't the typical right-wing... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:20 8
        
        It's the trumpeting of the past support that is the chicanery. - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:23 7
        
        Well considering how stereotypical people would expect my position to be on both Quebec and the subsidies that the Tories are cutting, I felt the... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:34 6
        
        *shrug* I just felt that your level of attention and emphasis made it seem like you were strategically picking your battles to further your - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:52 5
        
        Bery, I don't spin on here. Believe me or don't believe me, but any position I take, it's my own. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 14:57 4
        
        Ah. There we go. It sounded like you wanted myself and Guige to change your opinion of the Quebecois. - Beryllium Nov 29, 15:01 3
        
        Ah, no. If someone has to have first-hand experience on something before they are allowed to discuss it, there would be no fantasy football talk.... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 15:09 2
        
        This is true, I completely agree with this. As a minor point, it seemed like you wanted Guigue to speak on behalf of all Quebecois. - Beryllium Nov 29, 15:18 1
        
        Well, as a Quebec resident, I was hoping he could give me something and instead he only re-confirmed what I've been upset at. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 15:23
        
        I don't want there to be campaigns at all. I hate the political campaign process. It's evil. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:06
