Since Rosa Parks is on Google, I was reading her wiki page and found this lawl

Also, I'm curious about something. I've grown up in what I believe has historically been a very racially tollerant area of the US, and also extremely liberal. So, not a lot of racism, and if it is, it's simple stereotypes that aren't going to prevent anyone from befriending or highering another. Sure, jokes are dropped from time to time, but it's rare for it to really hold any meaning. Of course, every village has their idiot, but I'm wondering if other parts of the US still have some hardcore racism going on? Looking at you, southern fellas

for the most part in small towns outside of major cities in canada its that way.

umm maybe i wasnt clear, the second poll is the worst president part... i see reagan in that list, so im very confused.

So that we dont cross into the whole obama and bush thing, those two dont apply. Though you can pick senior.

You can also list what you liked most and didnt like. And i added that you can pick more than one answer.

Whats up Mikey! May be I did miss tons of bad stories about bad dealings in FS, but VS is the only internet board that help buy/sell parts for 850/x70 models.

Yep, still have my E and installing new mods these days, Volvo performance parts are SOO cheap comparing to AMG

and super expensive if you dont have a sc setup to get additional power.

the world is coming to an end, run for your lives.

Has it even worked corrrectly at all ? even at the volvo sponsored one it ran into the back of the truck lol

at the demo i went to it worked correctly. If i remember the setup... it would have been really bad if it didnt work. Think they blocked the path to the parking lot with a xc90? and so it would have been car ramming time.

cant post the pics b/c i dont think its just ones

glad im not an old man like you guys. But that lists does have a few coincidences. Can i add some?

-had or has considered a vasectomy

-preparation h or similar

-significant other does your clothing shopping for you (when you need things like socks and underwear)

-has realized maybe the couple bucks it costs the dealer is worth not having to get the car up and get dirty for a simple oil change (assuming they can do it without fucking it up)

-coming to the conclusion that maybe you dd doesnt need to be stripped like a track car since you like your internal organs, a/c, and radio.

Canada is gay... got it

ya thats also true, we do have one of the largest parades and gay districts in the world. But thats a whole other thread on gift registries for later.

i read and hear so much misinformation about the gun registry thing in canada it makes me wonder why we arent already all doomed. Comments just from today.

-hand guns shouldnt be made legal in canada (they are legal yet people still think they arent)

-if we had the gun registry so many gangs wouldnt have guns to kill people (what gang member is gonna get a license, register a rifle in the first place? and just for peoples info, people with a criminal record cant have gun license nevermind legally have a gun)

So to make it clear, you still need a license to get a gun, there are 2 different licenses. One for rifles and one for restricted (hand guns basically). YOU NEED TO TAKE A COURSES! to show you know the safety rules, two separate courses for both types. You also need to take a range course on top of this, you also need to get approval to transport restricted weapons. You have to join a club before you can start with your hand guns, and there is a waiting period and demonstration they you know what you are doing. Full background check (more waiting), they contact your partners and ask them if your nuts and going to kill them, check all the times you have come into contact with police (in CPIC). Alot more crap to do with the actual license itself. Now you then have to also take hunting course and license for that. By this time your really frustrated lol with the excessive amount of time its taken. Your not finished yet. You have to now figure out your storage options, laws about this. So assuming you have gone and passed this all you can now buy depending on the order of these steps and a few minor details in between that really doesnt make a lot of sense but its needed.

So you buy your rifle, from a store that is and not private (private is different). You have paperwork galore (depending on a couple other things). You now need to keep the firearm registered continuously or its supposed jail time if you let it lapse.

A couple points, the whole needing constant registration is what they ultimately are looking at getting rid of. (The rifle, not the hand guns and other restricted weapons). We arent talking about needing all the other crap you already have to have. That still stays. semi autos have a max holding so your arent gonna be able to have banna clips lol, infact the clips themselves are illegal i believe that hold large amounts. No silencers and length is also restricted, no sawed off shotguns.

As far as I know, you cannot buy a full auto here.

Everybody buys semi's and mods to full

Hense, ban semis, takes autos out of the market

im not sure but pre ban autos are still legit in the states, same as pre restricted guns are legit here? makes the price go insanely high for those old weapons.

Your making an argument based on something someone might do, also your lumping in a massive amount of weapons into that category. Your making the assumption all semis can be converted to full auto. Im sure in everyones mind a replica ak converts to full auto really easily, yet there are several types of reloading mechanisms. By design some cant be converted into full auto. Besides that some would it completely moronic to convert, example would be a full auto hunting rifle at 500m.

no semi autos? or did you mean full auto?

So some background (btw im not explaining everything).

In canada a number of years ago some wonderful politicians reacted to mass murders (actually im not entirely sure the actual reason, its debatable the motives) by requiring all guns to be registered (not just once but renewing and paying money every number of years). This registry was supposed to be fairly cheap but ended up over a billion dollars (dont actually know this for fact). Fuck it, im posting the wiki page b/c im lazy...

http://en.wikipedia....rearms_Registry

"The Canadian Firearms Registry is part of the Firearms Act and is managed by the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program. It requires the registration of all guns in Canada. It was introduced by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and implemented by successive Justice Ministers Allan Rock and Anne McLellan. It requires all usable firearms in Canada to be registered. This was an effort to reduce crime by making every gun traceable. The annual operating cost of the program is reported to be $44.6 million.^[1]

Any person wishing to obtain a firearm must first acquire a Possession and Acquisition Licence or PAL.^[2] The PAL carries a fee of $60 for non-restricted, $80 for restricted, and is renewable every five years. Expiry dates are set on the holder's birthday following the fifth anniversary of the initial issue of the licence.

After a change in government in 2006, the current Conservative Federal Government announced amnesty to all rifle and shotgun owners facing prosecution for failing to register their firearms, with an extended amnesty currently set to expire on May 16, 2011.^[3] Since its introduction in 2001 and continuing on to the present, the long-gun registry remains a contentious issue in Canadian politics."

Cost overruns

The registry again became a political issue in the early 2000s when massive cost overruns were reported.

In December 2002, the Auditor-General of Canada, Sheila Fraser, reported that the project was running vastly above initial cost estimates. The report shows that the implementation of the firearms registry program by the Department of Justice has had significant strategic and management problems throughout. Taxpayers were originally expected to pay only $2 million of the budget while registration fees would cover the rest. In 1995, the Department of Justice reported to Parliament that the system would cost $119 million to implement, and that the income generated from licensing fees would be $117 million. This gives a net cost of $2 million. At the time of the 2002 audit, the revised estimates from the Department of Justice were that the cost of the program would be more than $1 billion by 2004/05 and that the income from licence fees in the same period would be $140 million.

The causes of the cost overruns have been blamed on the inexperience of the Justice Department in managing a project of such scale. Especially crucial was that the scope of the project was in continuous flux requiring continuous changes to the basic set-up of the registry.^{[citation needed]"}

^{So, a vote is coming in the canadian government on wether to get rid of the registry or not. What you guys think?}

I believe, that you would still be required to register restricted firearms (hand guns...) and still have a license but not register your rifles.

what. the. fuck.

ever reserve a larger truck but when you arrive the people only have a small one?

if its gonna happen then why not let the person choose the method. Still not sure why you wouldn't choose just oxygen displacement with sedative.

so many things i want to say. dont really know where to start. I wish officers showed such restraint in situations that are very minor that do not involve weapons. But this takes the cake, and btw it almost forces officers to act aggressively when conducting stops. Scares the shit out of me! no body will understand what goes through a persons mind each and every time your stop someone. My nightmare is losing control, a fight for your life, that loss of control makes you want to just give up, the final yell/plea when you have lost it and you realized your control is gone is the most frightening.

even though i wanted to start an entire new thread for the joke, i thought if it was a repost i would be shot, so...

A little boy and a little girl, both about six, are playing in the sandbox. Unexpectedly, the little boy farted, causing a little sand between his legs to shift.

She notices, and squeals with laughter, "How'd you do that," she asks.

"Easy," he exclaimed, "I just farted."

"Can I try it," she asks?

"Sure," he says, "anybody can do it."

So she strains, and concentrates, and grunts. Suddenly, there's a terrible explosion, the sides of the sandbox fly off, all the sand flies out.

The little boy rolls up the hill, he finds himself upside down against a tree. He groggily gets to his feet, runs over to where the little girl is out cold, flat on her back, spread eagle.

He lifts up her dress, peeks underneath, and loudly exclaims, "Just what I thought, dual exhaust."

Basically, you won't be able to buy a gun unless you have gun license. To get a gun license, you will need to pay a recurring fee, be fingerprinted, have a driver's license, supply your SS#, and submit to a physical and mental eval if they(the govt) seems fit(read whenever they want). Every gun you own will have to be registered and everytime you sell a gun or a gun changes ownership, it has to be reported and a fee of $25 must be paid. The kicker is, that it would make it illegal to own any firearm with a clip/magazine, e.g. pistol/rifle.

If you don't follow any of the above, there are STIFF penalties to pay in forms of both money and jail time. Stiffer than criminals that commit crimes with guns get.

That's what I gathered from it. There are tons of news articles about it, just google the thread title.

welcome to canada.

ohhhh, that sucks big time... http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...9-12377,00.html

"Maid charged after adding menstrual blood to employer's food

AN Indonesian maid has appeared in a Hong Kong court accused of adding menstrual blood to her employer's food in an effort to improve their stormy relationship.

Indra Ningsih, aged 26, mixed the blood in a pot of vegetables in the belief that the recipe would help ease her difficult work environment, The Standard newspaper reported.

In some southeast Asian cultures, menstrual blood is thought to have special powers, the paper added.

The maid has been charged with one count of "administering poison or other destructive or noxious substances with intent to injure'' and has not yet entered a plea.

The report cited a prosecution statement that said Ms Ningsih's ingredient had been discovered after her female employer, surnamed Mok, peered through the kitchen door and saw the helper acting suspiciously.

She entered the kitchen and found the accused throwing something into the rubbish bin.

When she checked the pot, she found a suspicious substance mixed with the vegetables and water, the English-language daily said.

Ms Mok later discovered a used sanitary napkin in the bin and called the police.

Ms Ningsih told police Ms Mok had been unhappy with her performance since she was hired last July."

probably will end up costing more money in wasted bureaucratic bullshit and constant testing fuckups than it will save the tax payers.

with all this talk of shit wheels, lets talk shit wheels that are strong and dont weight alot! ok before the first person posts the plastic things dont bother we have seen them.
