<0> no
<1> there will be ways around it, of course... there always is :D
<0> scrim
<2> blk_ - but you have to watch comericals
<1> i don't have to watch anything
<3> PVR's elminiate tv commercials
<1> they're there.. but i'm not forced to pay attention to them
<0> stfu, you don't get it, there's no financial investment on the part of the consumer outright (you pay when you buy advertiser's said product)
<0> when
<0> cable
<0> used to be "Pay so you don't have to watch commercials"
<0> now
<2> my time isn't worth 0
<0> you pay.. to get what you used to get for free
<2> maybe your's is
<0> HBO now has commercials
<0> I didn't say that
<0> but by watching a commercial, you are not making a financial investment
<1> my time is worth more money to me than anyone could ever pay for
<3> HBO's commercials are only advertising other HBO programing aren't they?
<1> but i have no choice but to whore it out
<0> no
<0> they have a few advertisers now
<3> <--- doesn't have HBO anymore :)
<0> in between movies
<0> pepsi & ****
<3> Dang
<0> it's limited, but it's a step
<3> oh
<3> i know they used to do DTV commercials and **** sometimes..
<0> cable never used to have commercials.. that's WHY you paid for it
<0> now
<0> you PAY to get the advertising the advertisers are already paying for
<0> so the cable giant gets $ from you AND pepsi now
<0> wait
<0> there's more
<3> i found a copy of that spoken word if anyone wants to kill a few minutes and listen to a really good spoken word
<3> lol me spoke good
<3> http://www.dangerouscitizen.com/Downloads/421.aspx
<0> now, not only do you pay to watch pepsi's commercial when you pay for your cable TV, you pay for it when you buy an 8oz bottle of ****ing soda for $1.99
<0> because that advertising cost is wrapped into that
<0> or even a 20oz for $1.29
<0> so
<0> enjoy
<1> i'd just bring up 'inflation' as the best arguement, but i don't have the energy right now :\
<0> I don't watch TV anymore
<0> I don't OWN a TV any more
<1> i watch a bit now, but only late at night when i have nothing else to do
<1> and i'm not paying for it, so..
<1> if i had to pay for it... i wouldn't have it
<1> i'd just get a FTA dish and steal *
<1> :)
<0> I keep all my spending as limited to primary necessities as I can
<0> within reason
<0> I wont buy a home
<0> in the US
<0> not from a major home builder
<1> i thought you have land in mexico?
<0> I wont buy a new car
<0> I do
<1> then you should be working at getting there as fast as possible :P
<0> my son
<0> I wont take him from his mom
<0> it's my sacrifice
<1> tell her to move there too :i
<0> she wont
<0> I'm trying to get here there
<0> I think she'd like it
<0> but
<0> I have to get her there first
<1> if canada gets any worse in the next 2 years, i'm the **** outta here
<1> but where to, i dunno :i
<0> I do
<0> but you better learn to live with steev
<0> :P
<1> i can live with steve, but he's not eating any of the fish i catch :D
<0> well.. you better convince steev that you are tolerable to live with. :P
<4> worse how?
<1> i'm more tolerable to live with than he thinks
<1> or anyone else thinks
<0> good
<2> what's so bad about canada? it looks like america w/o the jack***es from ehre
<1> canada isn't that bad a place, so long as the conservatives aren't running things
<3> scrim: we have our own jack***es to deal with :P
<2> ahah
<1> and you aren't in a highly religious area
<1> like out east
<2> yeah
<2> religion will **** it up every time
<1> BC is the place to be
<1> up in the mountains
<2> yeah i hear good things
<2> that whole area
<2> from vancouver down to northern cali
<3> Alberta is doing alright... weren't a few years ago, booming area now
<1> my dad is out there, he loves it
<2> i could live anywhere along there
<1> alberta is a ****ing facist place now :\
<3> never been
<1> they're acting like they wanna be the 51st state of the USA
<3> I have family and friends out there, they love it.
<1> and they hate the rest of canada east of them
<1> too flat for me :)
<3> hehe everyout out west feels like that :P
<2> haven't they always?
<2> wasn't it origianlly a seperate country?
<3> BC has more in common with Washington State then the rest of canada
<1> nah, they've mostly only hated quebec and french people
<1> but now they hate ontario too
<3> yup
<1> for instance.. we've had this long running equalisation scheme going on here
<5> god, paris and nicole hilton are so hot
<1> where the rich provinces give money to the poorer provinces for social programs, etc..
<5> watching the simple life interns
<1> now alberta is ****ing swimming in energy profits from oil and natural gas.. all sold to the US
<1> and they don't want to give ANYONE a piece
<1> and on top of that
<1> they want to get rid of the healthcare system and have only profitable private health care like the US
<0> must....
<0> have....
<1> meanwhile they have enough money to make all the people living there the most healthy people on earth
<0> profit...
<0> why break even?
<3> ontario is moving towards a 2 tier system as well
<1> with 0 wait times to see a doctor, etc
<1> and all the best hospitals
<0> PROFIT
<1> yeah, and that's because ontario gets the short end of the stick on equalisation payments
<1> and we have the worst administration of health care
<1> they just waste all the money
<0> PROFIT fills my POCKET.. on the backs of the sheep that follow me like a PRAHFIT of GOD. A PROFIT.. of GOD!
<1> ****ing dishwashers in hospital kitchens get $16/hour MINIMUM
<3> Smitherman, what a tool
<1> like wtf
<6> heeh
<3> blk_ : i know, i work in healthcare
<6> i need to get a job as a hospital dishwasher
<1> and doctors here get taxed to **** as well, that's why they all go to the US to work
<3> same with Nurses, there is no incentive to say in Canada, when the US will pay better, better benefits, better working conditions, better incentives....
<1> yup
<5> dont you guys know who paris hilton and nicole is?
<5> you know, the stars of the simple life
<3> blk_ : oh... and you know those dishwashers?
<6> more like simple whores
<1> and education is getting ridiculously expensive here too
<1> not many people can afford post-secondary
<3> They are in a union, so once you are in.. you basically have to kill somoene to get fired
<5> whats wrong with that show?
<1> nicole?
<1> who te **** is that?
<5> nicole hilton
