Dislike - Virtually everything about them. Regardless of brand. Like - they may prevent some sexually transmitted diseases. That's about it.

hmmm, I've read this thread and from my point of view, most of you don't understand the question from the OP. He asked if anyone had ever been sexually abused or harassed. Not if you had ever suffered an unwelcome pass. In reading most of these stories, what you are relating is an...

Or all the people who cry about oil usage and they are the greatest world travelers in your circle of friends. Always done by airplane.

With the guys that are there now, the deal was made so the city needs to live up to their end of the bargain. (No one likes when they get fucked over.). Though I would not have a problem if the retirement age was raised to 65. But going forward with new employees, the deal needs to be changed...

You make me laugh. The judgement, "probably dodged a bullet". The implication is that you are somehow more responsible, or less of a risk than she is. You're no better or no worse. Plus the fact that you were tested twice. You should have been forced to pay for that second test. The first...

There is no such thing as safe sex. There is only reducing the risk by using condoms and condoms are only really effective in preventing the transmission of some (not all) STDs like syphilis and ghonerea and chlamydia and HIV. Condoms do this by preventing bacteria from entering or leaving...

It depends on your point of view whether or not Canada did well or not during the recession, never the less, how we did had nothing to do with Harper (though he likes to take credit for it). If anything, it had more to do with Paul Martin being finance minister under Chretien than it it ever...

Why I despise Stephen Harper (in no particular order) 1. He's not a nice guy. 2. He's running around Europe right now talking tough and trying to restart the cold war rather than looking out how to defuse the situation. 3. He has systematically undermined the scientific community in Canada at...

I read today that Mme Marois has gone on record as stating that an independent Quebec would like to continue to use the Canadian dollar. Sure, no problem. But here's the best part..... She thinks that Quebec should continue to have a seat at the Bank of Canada. Now that's funny. That gave...

Great cartoon in the Globe and Mail the other day:

The whole BS racism of "the Charter" is just a bullshit means to an end. Attack "les autres" once again by enacting discriminatory laws aimed at muslims, jews (good ole Quebec anti-semitism), and anyone who wears a turban (oh, and just in case anyone thinks that we are the bigots that we are...

The idea of partition is a concept that (ironically) no Separatist likes to discuss. If Canada is divisible, then ought not Quebec be divisible? Montreal and the Ottawa River vote to separate from Quebec and remain part of Canada. The vast north of Quebec - well, it's no secret that the...

As someone who lives in Toronto (but works in Quebec all the time) I have this to say... 1. Toronto blasted right past Montreal like Montreal was standing still back in the late 70's when you first elected Levesque. Thanks to Rene and his merry band of bigots (and make no mistake, the PQ is...

You make me laugh. Not worried about economics? Quebec receives about 10 billion a year in equalization payments (read money that gets sent from the west to Quebec) and another 6 billion more in federal funding. In all, Quebec nets about 16 billion more a year from the feds than it pays out...

??? please explain
