If you'd expect some respect for Korean customs and traditions, then you should bitch at these "loose" women, who sleep with white guys they met 10 minutes ago. The white guy doesn't have a problem, the Koreans do.

Huh? Two standards?

What are the customs and traditions? Koreans can only sleep with Koreans? It takes two to tango, even in Korea.

I think I misinterpreted what you meant.

Grandpa’s free ride

The rioting students of Quebec got scant sympathy even before they started smashing windows and detonating smoke bombs.

Polls suggest that Quebecers generally support Jean Charest’s government’s plan to raise tuitions in small increments over the next five years. Even when all the increases are phased in, Quebec students will still pay less than students anywhere else in Canada, only 17% of the cost of their own education.

So what have these kids got to complain about? Unfortunately — more than their elders care to admit.

The Canadian fiscal system, like those of all developed countries, tilts heavily toward the elderly. It’s not just that pensions and health-care spending outweigh education and college spending (although of course they do). In addition, the cohorts born before 1960 have received a better deal from government at every phase of life than will — in all likelihood — the cohorts born after 1990.

Members of the pre-1960 cohort paid less tax when young. More of that tax was used to buy things they themselves consumed; less to support the retirement of the (smaller and shorter-lived) cohorts before them.

As they age, the pre-1960 cohorts will enjoy more benefits from government than they themselves ever paid for. They will draw more support from the post-1990 cohorts than they themselves paid toward their elders. And because so many of the benefits for the pre-1960 cohorts have been (and will be) financed by debt, the pre-1960 cohorts will be drawing support from the post-1990 cohorts for years to come.

In the past, this redistribution from young to old could be justified by economic growth. When we taxed the young to support the old, we could assume we were taxing the (richer) future to support a (poorer) past.

This point carried great force so long as we were taxing the cohorts born before 1960 to support the cohorts born before 1930. The pre-1930 cohorts really were dealt a hard hand: depression and war. But the people born between 1930 and 1960 were history’s big winners. They enjoyed booming prosperity in the first half of their lives — and are now looking forward to generous governmental support in the second half.

But the mechanism for delivering the support expected by pre-1960 cohorts is breaking down.

On the present trajectory, the post-1990 cohorts will not gain anything like the huge increase of wealth over their elders as did the pre-1960 cohorts. If anything, many of the individual members of the post-1990 cohort will be poorer than their counterparts born before 1960.

The people born before 1960 came of age in a society where the proceeds of economic growth were broadly shared. If the country got richer, everybody in the country got richer.

But in today’s more globalized economy, the proceeds of growth are shared less broadly. The United States is an extreme case: By one estimate, in the year 2010, 93% of the benefits of economic growth were captured by the top 1% of the population. But similar trends can be seen in every advanced democracy, including Canada.

Back in the 1970s, the most important wealth gap was the gap between countries: Almost everybody in a country such as Canada was richer than almost everybody in a country such as China. Now we are moving toward a world in which the gap is widening within countries.

Which means that even when the world economy again resumes growing, many of the younger people in the post-1990 cohorts will never equal the average incomes of the pre-1960 cohorts — even as they face decades of heavy taxation over the remainder of their working lives to support the retirements (and pay the debts) of the cohorts before them.

None of this is to say that the Quebec protesters deserve any sympathy. They are a radical fringe. And besides, they are part of the problem: a richer-than-average tranche of their own cohort demanding support from the taxes of less affluent people.

But whatever we think of the protesters, the protests point to a real and true problem. Throughout the Western world, politicians are confronting the question: Who will bear how much of the burden of adjusting budgets to grim new post-2008 realities? Canadian politicians have been more responsible and more concerned with fairness than most. But even in Canada — and much more in Japan, Europe, and the United States — the answer being heard louder and louder is: Spare the old, burden the young.

I don't dispute that war crimes were committed by all branches of the German military during the war. The fact remains, however, that the Waffen SS was *not* the same thing as the SS and on a collective level the courts have cleared them of guilt for things they had nothing to do with.

Ironically, the Waffen SS was also the most ethnically diverse of the German military services with 60%-70% of them being non-German in 1945.

ALthough it is only 15 minute drive to the river, which is a great place to be on a spring/summer evening, or day, or anytime really.

And, if you didn't know, it's called Edmonchuck because we're infested with Bohunks have a lot of fine citizens of Ukrainian descent.

Well that makes more sense than a ref to Chinook jargon. The ocean is still often referred to as the 'saltchuck' and rivers and lakes as the 'coldchuck'. I wish BC would actually adopt Chinook Jargon as an unofficial language - lots if history behind it.

I was thinking that, too. Something in the wording smells both familiar and it also smells like someone who is running a false flag operation to discredit the whack-a-doodle branch of Christianity that already does a fine job of discrediting themselves without further assistance.

Please find me a media story that says all cops are corrupt. Or even one that says most. Hell, one story that says a sizeable majority even.

Would you prefer if the media left it to the police to expose and puinish the wrong-doers in their midst? Do you think that would work? Or do think that maybe one of the reasons the vast majority of our police are worthy of trust and respect is because of the scrutiny they get?

The only question I have is has he disclosed everything in the correct time frame, what's the difference between this and Ms. Guergis mortgage. No doubt if this were a conservative they would be screaming for his resignation.

Having said that, he's probably been raising money for his political campaigns and as such he's made a good investment. He's allready qualified for the big pension so it's paid off.

You're delusional if you believe everyone lobbying for legalization of marijuana is a pot smoker.

Secondly, this type of disruption happens all the time and we're still losing the "war on drugs". Massive seizures, raids, etc. OC evolves with new drugs, schemes and ways to make money. This will be no different. They'll move on to selling 'salts' or some other designer drug.

They're doing that already, but the size of the market is HUGE for marijuana. Most people are smart enough to stay away from designer drugs. There isn't billions of dollars to be made from them by simply planting seeds and adding water.
