RowdyCanuck Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Woah well I learned something new today.... I knew about what the states did but didn't know Britain just finished paying off the bill in 2014 for everything they did. The guy does have a point if they apologize , they owe it to their people and the people they shipped out. trump in the states and slavery coming back , they better get trump out before he puts in a order....

I just couldn't get over the fact that it's still going on today in countries and 14 dollars or pounds to buy a slave..... I figured by now everyone would know how bad it was , so no one would start up again. It's truly disturbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refering to those big frozen bags you can find Ocean Wise labeled ones around, depends on where you buy them. I don't eat a lot of prawns but every year we go to the docks at granville island and buy some local prawns off the boats. BC spot prawns are amazing, no slavery needed either. It surprises me that a lot of people don't know how good our local prawns are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprises me that a lot of people don't know how good our local prawns are. For those interested, I have seen these guides down here at some aquariums. By no means extensive, it can help you make some better seafood decisions, as far as sustainability and such go: https://www.seafoodwatch.org/seafood-recommendations/consumer-guides Don't ask me why there are ones for different states. I spot checked a few, and there are some items not found in some that are on others (so, perhaps catering to some local preferences?), but also noticed that some had different grades depending on what part of the country you were in (despite the fish apparently coming from the same place/method). Edit: I guess the website has a more extensive list... i'll need to check Edit #2: further down the page, there is a sushi guide. Spot prawns are there, as a best choice Edited January 7, 2020 by Kragar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 We're all slaves to some extent. Especially in a society where we have to pay more and more every year and see less return on that 'investment.' It slowly equates to longer hours and or more days, more years, to the point where many won't get to retire because they've spent so much capital just getting through the days and years. This is the growing paycheck to paycheck crowd and those that aren't far from being on that same boat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased taxes. Increase general cost of living. I know you got wrecked in the other thread a while back but you can cut the attitude, son, quit being so bitter and grow up.
