Italy is one of the many members of the less than 2% GDP defense spending club. I completely agree... I have traveled all over the US and the nicest people I have ever met were when I drove through all the southern states. I would even say that the average American I met in places like Texas, Arizona and Louisiana were far more polite and friendly than anywhere in Canada I have been. I think Americans are great, I just think they are terrible at voting, not that they ever have much to choose from. With all the amazingly smart and great people there they always seem to have to choose between the worst possible people your country has to offer. I think it's all just penance for what the democrats did to the last great American politician Henry Wallace, what a different world we would live in today if he had have been president like he should have.

The US has good and bad all over the country. The south can be a very nice place depending on your race and which part of it you're in. One of the reason that we have such terrible choices at the ballot is because that the vast majority of people of quality stays out of politics because it's a miserable job. The tribal fanatics (voters) of each party who blindly follow their "chosen ones" like lemmings don't help matters either. Henry Wallace did get royally screwed out of office, but he was far from perfect. The most worrisome aspect was his cozy relationship with Stalin's Soviet Union. Being cozy with a mass murderer is never a good thing. His pleading ignorance years later is not a solid defense. He would have been a disaster in foreign policy.

Well my hair cut takes 15 minutes tops and I spend $20. I know women who spend over an hour getting it cut, coloured, dyed, etc. so yea theirs will cost more. And if women want to spend less on hygenic products just buy mens and just don't buy cosmetic products, hell I haven't bought a cosmetic product ever.

I only need hair gel because my hair is curly and hard to settle. Societal pressures on women are significant factors though, most women spend a ton of money on products that they don't even need to look good.

goalie13 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Update: The show has been cancelled. VICTORIA — Mounting protests against a filmmaker who planned to charge higher admission to white men attending the screening of his movie have led a Victoria theatre society to cancel its contract to show the film. Blue Bridge Theatre Society president Evan Roberts says the society will cancel its facility rental agreement with Shiraz Higgins of Made You Look Media to show “Building The Room.” Higgins used the false name Sid Mohammed when he announced a so-called justice-pricing model to charge white men as much as $20, while others would pay $10 based on the purchasing power of individual groups and “price discrimination.” Roberts says Blue Bridge Theatre Society does not believe in any form of prejudicial pricing. He says the contract was cancelled because Higgins breached the deal by unveiling the pricing model without the society’s knowledge or consent. The 70-minute documentary-style movie “Building the Room” is a behind-the-scenes look at comedians putting on a stand-up show. It was scheduled for a screening in Victoria on Thursday night. http://theprovince.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/screening-scrapped-in-victoria-as-group-cancels-fibbing-filmmakers-contract/wcm/0f4b5891-449c-4d48-bb0c-47d367cfc580 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
