OK Perry, I will take a stab at this. And please everyone who reads this I am going to play devil's advocate. I don't really believe any of the things I am about to write, I am trying to help Perry analyze his situation and so I'm going to try and post the opposing view regardless of what my own...

Mileage?

CRA has closed almost all the loopholes that used to exist through a series of attribution rules, and rules for offshore accounts. As someone said, they want you to pay tax on your global income. If you want to wire it overseas you will likely need to set up an overseas corporation, so that...

My understanding is practically ALL of the kidnappings are for money, and virtually all of them come with a monetary demand. The threat is not that the kidnappers will kill the victim; the threat is that the kidnappers will turn the victim over to Al Qaeda. Of course... Al Qaeda will kill the...

I think there is a question here of just exactly what constitutes a "review". If an SP says she doesn't want reviews, I think that should be respected. Don't post a description of what happened in your session with her. On the other hand, I think outing someone who lies about themselves and...

Yes!!!!! In fact, in this new modern age, it doesn't matter whether your live-in partner is male or female. The government no longer discriminates on the basis of gender or sexual orientation, and as a result you can wind up being common law married to another guy, even if you are just friends...

So if it were legal... one nice thing about Canadian law is that gambling income is tax free... so this would provide you with a way to invest money in the S&P 500... tax free.

So it's pretty clear to me that under Canadian law it is illegal to set up or operate an offshore online gambling service to people living in Canada. Canadian law may not be able to reach you; but it seems to be illegal. My question is, what about Canadians accessing these sites? Just because...

Certainly it's more theocratic than Canada is; but it's nowhere close to being an Iran. Still--there are segments of the US that are just so backwards, like Ohio adding creationism to the curriculum. The current administration has also actively interfered with scientific studies where the...

No? Then why do they teach creationism in their schools? Ohio certainly has pockets of enlightenment, particularly Columbus, but the rest of the state seems to me to be pretty thoroughly steeped in the Bible. My concern with Bush really boils down to his coupling of religion and politics. I...

James, she's an alcoholic. I think you should tell her how you feel about her--all of it. Maybe tell her if she quit the drinking you'd love to be with her, but you can't be there while she's drinking. Offer to support her as far as you can. Probably having said that what you should do is...

So, now that Bush has won, America can get back to cracking down on immoral things like drugs and prostitution, teaching creationism in school, and banning condoms.

peeping tom: your term is not even accurate. Are you against marriage by hetrosexuals who practice sodomy? Can I assume you support lesbian marriage? Or marriage between two gay men who don't engage in sodomy? I think the tide of history is on the side of gay marriage. If the R's persist in...

On all the issues anybody talks about I think there's little difference between Kerry and Bush. One says he'll stay the course, the other says he'll be better at doing the same thing. Kerry talks about building alliances and such, but realistically, who is he going to build an alliance with that...

Something I think you are all missing: Bush had nothing to do with this. The Whitehouse had nothing to do with this. If they HAD, that would be much *worse*. You really want to leave military matters to the military men. To think that the president would have his finger in the tactical, day...
