  - Hey, this is the situation that Canadians elected. Give someone - anyone - a majority and we could get at least two years peace and quiet. - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 20:20 16
    - I'm speaking entirely professionally here. - Reagen Jul 12, 20:21 15
      - Yeah, I projected. I'm just getting peevish at the whining over the situtation when it's never the voters fault we get perpetual election. - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 20:25 14
        
        Also, I don't think I could personally have less of a potentialyl impact on what the next government would be without renouncing my citizenship - Reagen Jul 12, 20:29 3

        It would be helpful to the discussion if the Liberal party could get their shit tight. heh. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 20:36
        
        It's not as though voters are able to coordinate their actions though :) -- nm - Roger More Jul 12, 20:26 9
        
        Ah, but many could. Think the Quebecois who choose Bloc ahead of any federalist party. Or the folks that vote Green as protest. - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 20:30 8
        
        you'd rather a two party system? -- nm - zork Jul 12, 20:39 6

        Did you buy the Dutch iPhone? - Reagen Jul 12, 21:17 1
        
        We disagree on that comparison, but a better question is, what is the goal you're tryin to achieve with constant minority or coalition gov'ts? - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 21:53
        
        ....Quite a bit and I just don't believe that it would work better than old-school brokerage parties. - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 21:11

      - I'm just not that into (spoiler) - nubby Jul 12, 20:03
      - I'd easily describe my first exposure to the film as repulsive ... but it grew on me. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 20:03
  - The most disappointing thing about The Rules of Attraction is that everyone didn't die in nuclear hellfire. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 19:59

- I'm not, but I need a break too. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:49 1
  - Alright, here: -- (link) - facto Jul 12, 20:02
- Who sang that? -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:42 18
  - I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:44 17
    - It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:46 8
      - my mom loved that album. If you k now my mom, that's huge. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:49
      - This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:48 6
        
        blech. their albums in the mid 80s seemed like sell-outs to me with no musical progression - zork Jul 12, 19:52 4
        
        aka Van Hagar -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 12, 21:17
        
        Psst -- (link) - Reagen Jul 12, 19:56 2
        
        thank you -- nm - zork Jul 12, 20:15
        
        But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:58
        
        Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:50
    - I posit that they were no longer Genesis after PG left. It became Collins second tour -- nm - zork Jul 12, 19:46
    - Are you my iPod? -- nm - Callisto Jul 12, 19:46 6
      - Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:47 4
        
        In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:54 2
        
        that is a great song. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:59 1
        
        It's an epic meditation on intangibility -- nm - facto Jul 12, 20:00
        
        You are. You are my iPod. - Callisto Jul 12, 19:48
      - Slacker Talk Posters, iPods in disguise. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:47
- I'm into, uh, well, murders and executions, mostly. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:41 3
  - Do you like it? -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:44 2
    - Not if you want to keep your spleen. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:46 1
      - Is that a rain coat? -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:48
- i'm an adult of divorce. I was 19 or 20 when my parents split -- nm - zork Jul 12, 19:40 1
