Breaking News Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 3:06 PM PDT TORONTO (AP) Canada has enacted a law legalizing gay marriage. And I say woot!  Of course most have been doing it for a while, but it is 100% "law of the land" legal now, and you know how hard *that* is to change. The plot to make all your children gay is in it's final stages! mwaha-ha-ha-ha! . _____________________

Didn't this happen a few weeks ago? Apparently there were still a few hurdles to overcome before the initiative became law of the land. http://ottsun.canoe.ca/News/National/2005/07/20/1139122-sun.html _____________________

Is the senate actually a useful body in the states? Cause up here it is just a lot of old rich farts getting bribed to rubber stamp bills. _____________________

Yes it had to be passed by the senate. In practice that means a lot of long-winded speeches and arm-twisting. Is the senate actually a useful body in the states? Cause up here it is just a lot of old rich farts getting bribed to rubber stamp bills. It's basically the same in the states. Prices might be higher though. Politicians and the courts have decided that handing politicians envelopes full of money is just speech. But it seems a little odd, since if you get stopped for speeding, you can't talk to the cop like that. We started out with free speech, but it seems that the price has been bid up quite a bit. |

The Senate tends to be the "cooler heads" in the U.S., putting the brakes on the wilder excesses of the House. Whether this is a useful function depends on whether you happen to support a particular wild excess. They tend to be more successful with bipartisan compromises, as they are a smaller body than the House (though this distinction has been strained of late). Both branches are stuffed with rich old farts, however, with a few upper-middle-class youngsters aspiring to be rich old farts when they grow up. |

Ya, ours is just more fancy, but also they like to talk alot of bullshit/get nothing done/take forever/etc. Well maybe it's the same... I don't know...is the Canadian senate in a big white building too? Maybe that could be a difference... _____________________
BTW
WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS! |
