I've been trying to research and find sources that prove this bill has a positive effect for our country (Canada). So far not much in the way of positive words for this bill, except for what I find on the Conservative Party of Canada webpage.

What would you say, other than "taking criminals off the streets and protecting communities," is a benefit or at least an intention of these 9 amendments?

Thanks!

I would say "Je seul pense de toi" but I'm not sure of the "de toi"

Maybe it's "Je seul te pense" ?

Please and Thanks! :)

I was talking with two of my girlfriends and they both live at home still, (as do I). We were thinking of moving in to an apartment together and splitting rent three ways.

I have about $5000 in schooling to pay for next year, and then I also was thinking I'll be needing to buy a car, seeing as my mother lets me use hers, that would be another $5000, (used) plus gas and insurance.

What other costs do I need to cover? I think it would be wisest to organize a budget and see if I can really afford all this.

Suggestions would be fabulous. ^_^

This has been going on for a couple weeks. I've stopped masturbation and I keep putting off meeting up with my friend.

The headaches actually make sex kinda unpleasurable for me. And I love my sex. So any help would be great.

I do plan on seeing my doctor, but I hate waiting. :P

OK, so I thought I would see what the world thinks. I don't know why other people would say just blasphemy, but they say I look retarded...

I think I'm the prettiest thing alive right now.

You tell me.

I recently acquired a cold, and it probably didn't help by my going out drinking last night. But my tonsils are huge! I feel like I should have a hard time breathing with them being this large.

Oh and last week I had some nasty tonsil stones... bleh

Would you go to the doctor?

I mean it is a sore throat, but are the tonsil stones a sign that it's worse than a cold or something like that?

My old computer is at the moment permanently dead.

I am on my shiny new computer and I would like to know the best way to get all my documents, music, and pictures from the old computer on to my fancy dancy new one. ^_^

I cannot turn on my old computer, because the charger has stopped working, so it is dead.

I do have a phat 8GB USB... so I was thinking about using that to transfer my stuff.

I'm looking at buying a computer. My last laptop just recently died on me and was being tormentingly slow anyways. It was an acer that I bought less than 3 years ago. I still have Microsoft word, power point, excel, and one note, which I wont need to purchase.

So I was wondering which computer to purchase for under $800, where I could possibly do financing and pay for it monthly.

Is Dell a good laptop to buy? I was looking at the 'Vostro 3400' because it's quite small. Which is a definite plus for me.

I am also a business student who likes her music... so I'll need something that has a bit more space too.

Oh. Another question. How do I get all the information off my old laptop on to the new one? My laptop is pretty much permanently dead because the power cord doesn't work anymore, any suggestions on how I get all my music and documents/pictures on the new one?

And have you heard of these peeps? ^_^

This is a cover letter for an application to Business Development Bank of Canada. I'm currently a student looking for a summer job. Let me know if I should change anything... or add... etc.

I am applying for a position at Business Development Bank of Canada. It would be an excellent opportunity for me to have a chance to work for your company. I am a student currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Business Administration program; with the knowledge I am learning, I could relate that knowledge back to the BDC.

Engrained in the Bachelor program, there are group term projects, which are essential to a business education. I will have gained interpersonal communication skills and be able to work efficiently to get any appointed task completed. I enjoy working in group projects because it’s a great way to meet new people. It is also an effective way of accomplishing work. I can gain knowledge from colleagues while contributing some of my own input.

I have 5 years experience in customer retail/service and enjoy working with people. In addition to my strong background in customer service skills, I have the ability to learn new skills quickly. I am sure my training will prove particularly useful for whatever area I am assigned to. I feel that by adding me to your staff I will provide kindness and dependability that your customers will come to know and trust.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in an interview. You can reach me on my cell phone at __________ and if I am unavailable you can call my home number, _________. I look forward to your call. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am going through a bit of a hard time in my first year of college.

The stress is building, and I was thinking about taking off second year, collecting myself, and then going back in 2011.

I did really poorly on a midterm today (58%), and it is the worst mark I've ever gotten so far.

Should I finish this semester as best as I can and then take a year off and continue my studies when I've taken some time off and collected myself?

(I was wanting to do an exchange through the school for third year and I do need to save my money and keep my average at the 70% mark... which seems unrealistic at the moment.)

My girlfriend had unprotected sex yesterday morning, and when she told me last night that she finally did her crush, the first question I asked was, "Did you use protection?"

So that's a no.

She had sex at 9 in the morning and we were talking 12h later. We went to the pharmacy and got that plan B pill. So she took that at about 10:00PM, maybe later?

She also told me that she's supposed to get her period next week.

The first thing that popped into my head... was when do women ovulate?!

I'm pretty sure it's right before you have your period right?

So I guess my question is (to put my mind at ease), might she be pregnant? Or when are you most likely to get pregnant? Or I don't even know. We are going to buy a pregnancy test... but when is the earliest you can check?

I would love any additional advice you guys have...

I love you yahoo-ers :P

OK. I am 18 and the legal age is 19. I was using my legitimate ID that said I was 18, and the bouncer took it.

Is he allowed to?

If so where would he send it?

How the F*ck do I get it back?

(Also he said it will go on my criminal record... true? maybe?)

OK! I've been wanting a tattoo for quite sometime now, and this morning I kind of had what one would call an epiphany.

I was looking at Kitsune (fox) tattoos, wanting to do something like that, but now I want to basically get something like a constellation with actual diamonds to define the fox's outline.

Also, because it would be expensive to get all the stars done in diamonds (I think it's called, Micro-dermal Piercings), I thought it would be cool to get ink that shows up in black light, or that glows in the dark.

To try and describe what the tattoo might look like...

It's the night sky, maybe with some clouds?, (unsure how to frame it on my skin, so it flows), and then rest with stars that glow in the dark... or blacklight. The bigger stars will be the diamond piercings which hopefully will look like a kitsune aka fox.

I've never gotten a tattoo, or a piercing other than my earlobes. So I'm unsure of so many variables...

Basically I would like to know what something like this would entail.

How would you do differently?

Can I get the diamonds in different sizes?

And any other tips you can give me.

OK! I just took this picture with the intentions of going out... (Clubbing) I posted a similar question earlier and I'm hoping people will think I look older than before. (The other one was slightly older and I didn't have on half as much make-up)

Would they ID me at the club even if I looked like this or better and dressed like a ****? (Don't judge lol)

A popular illusion is that we use technology to serve our ends. In fact, we seem to follow it to ends inherent in the technology. It has a will of its own.

For example, the automobile once invented made a dense network of roads inevitable, which made suburbs inevitable, which made malls inevitable, which made community and localism impossible and utterly changed the nature of society. This wasn't planned. Neither was the Internet, which grew as it chose while we watched in astonishment.

Today we hear much fuming about electronic surveillance and whether we should allow it. A better question might be whether we can not allow it. It is too easy, too convenient to be avoided.

The technical capacity exists for detailed watchfulness that Stalin would have envied. For practical purposes, the power of computers is now without limit. You can buy a commodity computer with a terabyte of storage. Global networking is a reality, the Web being the obvious example. Databases of virtually unlimited size can be searched almost instantly from around the globe. Google indexes billions of pages. How long after you hit the Enter key does it take for search results to appear?

This is new--not that governments will spy, but that they can do so easily, massively, and undetected. In 1950, police agencies could clandestinely open mail or tap phones, but it took time and manpower. Today enormous volumes of e-mail can be read automatically and copies sent to whoever wants them. The intended recipient has no way of detecting the interception. You can use encryption, yes. But unless you have the source code for your encryption program, and know enough cryptology and programming to read it, you can't tell whether it has been backdoored.

An insidious quality of modern surveillance is its inconspicuousness. If jackbooted storm troopers kicked your door in and rifled through your papers, you might object. This seldom happens. Yet every use of your passport, every phone call, every purchase you make with a credit card or check, where and when and what, goes into a database. Cameras can (and in some places do) read the license numbers of all passing cars. This is not the place to go into the details of radio-frequency identification devices and cellphone tracking, but both exist.

My point here is not that any particular government is intentionally using the technology to impose totalitarian control. Some are (China, for example) and some aren't. My question is whether, as every move we make becomes watchable and trackable, any government will be able to resist the temptation.

Local governments are not immune to the attractions of intrusion. I recently read that in York, England, the wearing of hats in pubs is illegal because it interferes with the surveillance cameras. These are supposed to spot "troublemakers." Thus quickly does the pretext go from the exalted cause of opposing terrorism to catching guys with a snootful. What can be done will be.

All of which raises a couple of questions. First, is freedom possible without privacy? Those in law enforcement will argue that surveillance doesn't matter. If you do nothing illegal, their reasoning runs, what difference does it make what the government knows? A lot. For anyone who might butt heads with a government, whether in Beijing or Washington, being watched is intimidating. We all do things that can be used against us. A compromising e-mail about a tryst, sent to someone not a spouse, is embarrassing.

The second question is whether people really care about freedom. I think not, though we tell ourselves that we do. The majority care about prosperity and comfort--a nice house, tolerable job, consumerism's trinkets, beer, sex, 500 channels on the cable, and a couple of weeks a year at Disneyland. They go to Joe's Rib Pit, congregate with friends, swill Bud, and watch NASCAR. This is not contemptible. (I hope not: I do it.) It is enough freedom for most.

The abolition by disregard of the Constitution? An abstraction that doesn't register. I'll guess that 95 percent of the population have never heard of habeas corpus and don't know what the Fourth Amendment is. Freedom of speech matters only to intellectuals. The cameras are everywhere, but you hardly notice them. Anyway, Kyle Busch is eating up NASCAR in that Toyota. Toyota--ain't that something? In Georgia.

The comfortable do not revolt against what does not inconvenience them. Can the police always tell where your cellphone is? Know what books you have checked out? What websites you visit? Read your e-mail? Why, we hardly notice. Anyway, it is only to catch terrorists.

Oay it is long... but I think you'll like it. What I would like to know is if my essay is essentaily crap or worthy of college...?

FYI : First is an article I researched, and second is a response not only to the article but combined with 1984 (Orwell)

The lifestyle he abided by constricted his mind; it was surveyed and exposed by the government to an extent where he was unable to think freely.

Why is it such a mystery that no one has thought about looking at satellites to see who did it? It makes sense to me.

What do you think of that?
