Cut Throat Island Update, among other things
Sorry I haven't been around guys.. been sick again.. trouble with the old blood pressure.. I'm hoping I'll be back up before the weekend.. I've got Christmas parties to go to.... Anyway, back to CutThroat..
I missed Challenge four and five because of being sick.. I didn't even bother turning the computer on.. so I don't really know what's going on.. AndrewPEI was voted out for Challenge four, but then, only three of his team mates voted... Sorry Andrew... hope you do better in elections on January 23rd..
I believe a vote was also made for Challenge five, but there was a twist in play.. player johndenver has been banned from the site, as he's been recognized as a former troublemaker... he was starting to be a current troublemaker, which made the powers that be on the site check him out... so, johndenver is no longer in the game.. players know this, so they'll probably just vote him out.. we won't know who's getting their throat cut until tomorrow (well, today if you check the time.. *L*) evening.. I'll update then..
So, is anyone following the Canadian Federal Election?? I've been watching very closely.. I've had an interest in politics since I was 10 or 11.. I don't think I could ever be a politician, but I like criticizing them just the same...
so, here's my criticisms, starting with Paul Martin... Ok, Paul.. what I've seen so far, not bad I guess... the Child Care plan looks like it could work.. but I don't see a ban on handguns working too well... I don't like handguns... I don't see a real point to them for law abiding citizens, but I guess there are some who want them... I think that if you ban these guns, they'll still be on the streets, because they're already being smuggled into Canada from the US... there will just be more smuggling.. and what's the point of putting more border guards on if they won't be armed to protect themselves from these smugglers?? And are police officers going to have to give up their guns?? Geez, I hope not..
Ok.. Stephen Harper, your turn... 5% GST... good for the middle to upper class earners and businesses.. but what about those low to middle class earners who rely on the rebates to make ends meet 4 times a year?? My mom actually used to use hers to pay my dad's life insurance after her Child Tax Credit ran out... she doesn't get enough out of it now to bother.. my bro and I love getting our $50 every 4 months... it means an extra treat with the groceries... how about cutting income taxes instead? Oh, and your Child Care Program made me cringe... give an extra $100 for each child under the age of 6... I can see so many meal ticket children that will be born specifically for the parents to get the extra $100 a month to buy booze and drugs.. and the kids will be neglected... just gives me shivers...
And Jack Layton... well, I haven't heard you announce anything really... just rebuttles to the liberal and conservative plans... you need to come up with some of your own, bud.. I'm starting to think about voting for the green or marijuana parties just so that I'm not voting for the big three...
And now.. an election pet peeve...... what is with that stupid commercial that's meant to convince the younger voter to vote?? It doesn't really say anything!! just says to vote... that's not enough guys... you've got to explain why the young person should vote.. young people feel alienated by government.. because we're rarely listened to... a lot of my friends say why bother voting, because it doesn't really mean anything... if you did a commercial explaining why it's important to vote, maybe you'll get more young voters...
Anyway, I'm done ranting now..
