That's why I said "to a lesser extent" regarding feminism. I mean, it's bad here, but nowhere near the levels of our friends down south.

And Challenger is kinda right, Prehistoric. Which I've repeatedly conceded to. I don't understand where everyone is getting this notion that I still think I'm right. The only thing I've done is try to justify my earlier claim that $3 is just $3. Yes, thats a huge change from the US, as it adds up over time, but that's not relevant to what I was trying to say. I think Ty made my point rather eloquently. Things are really expensive in Canada. That $3 might just be pocket change for a book, but extrapolate it and you're going to end up with huge numbers. A few dollars might not be that much at all, but when the product's price is only in the single digits, that's still like a 30% increase. I remember Sandtrap making a thread about how unfair he thought it all was. If he wanted to buy a new TV and an Xbox One to play the games he wanted, it would cost him a ton compared to what it would be in the US. Hmm. Well I've never once thought to myself "Man, where I live, shit is expensive." I've maybe grown accustomed to it? No idea. That's just the perception that I had when I started in this thread.

>Ayn Rand
I've seen you claim that Atlas Shrugged is one of your favourite books and that you "highly recommend it", so I'm not quite sure what ">" is for. Not that I've read the book. It was just the first thing that popped into my mind.

More detail would be nice.
Well, I mean It's concept art. My next draft will be more zoomed in on Superman.

Look man, I've been up for almost 24 hours (It's 730 AM here) ...So? I've been up for 3 days are time and I don't magically lose my understanding of economics.
and have a very small understanding of economics. Obviously. This is why I'm trying to explain this to you, but you're taking this aggressive and stubborn stance and talking about pocket change.
On top of that, I'm on mobile so I have little to no motivation to manually dissect the argument so that you can cure my ignorance. That isnt happening. Clearly. You're not willing to learn.
I grew up in Canada, so I dont feel that everything is more expensive. Im fairly sure its all proportionate to how much people make, so it balances out. That's really not the issue at hand though. I'm talking about currency and how yours compare to the (American) dollar.
You can call me whatever names you want but at the end of the day, if I wanted to know my shit, I'd know it. Or you could stop being stubborn and just listen to what I'm telling you.
I never claimed that me being up for 24 hours made me lose my understanding of economics. I dont have much of an understanding to begin with. I only meant that I dont have the energy to keep up with you. Im not being stubborn, I dont know where youre getting that from. I literally havent tried to refute a single thing youve said. Ive only tried to make you understand my original line of thought regarding an extra 3 bucks. But clearly I was wrong. Even if the canadian dollar isnt as strong as the us's, its still strong. At least, from what ive heard. But by all means, show me where I'm wrong. That isnt sarcasm, Im always interested in seeing my faults.

Except this American isn't coming to Canada to buy a home. He's coming to buy a book. It's a completely contrived scenario. He probably has an extra $3 in his pocket to cover the difference. See what I mean? Uh, no. I don't see what you mean. At all.
The American and Canadian dollar are two different currencies. An American isn't going to need 3 extra dollars. That isn't how currency exchange works. It's not about t being pocket change so no harm no foul let's all forget this ever happened.
Are you seriously this economically ignorant? I mean wow. This is making my head hurt.
If it costs more IN CANADIAN DOLLARS, whether it's $3 or $300,000, it costs more. It has nothing to do with pocket change or whatever the hell you're talking about.
Obviously, its different when your prices get higher. I'm not refuting that. And I understand that "it's all connected."
The Canadian dollar is worth less. It has less value.

I get the point you're making. 3 bucks is pocket change, was mine.
Canada still has a strong dollar, regardless.
This is why I just said you're economically retarded. You're trying to gauge currency value in it being pocket change, or whatever the fuck you're saying.
If there's a $3 difference IN THE SINGLE DIGITS, THAT IS NOT NEGLIGBLE. IT'S HUGE. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEARN SOMETHING.
Jesus Christ man, relax.
If an American walks into a Canadian bookstore and has to spend 3 dollars more than he would back home, the money he is spending is negligible. This has nothing to do with large-scale economics and was extremely specific to Das's post. I was only reinforcing what I said earlier.
I've already concede multiple times that on a larger scale its definitely not negligible. Are you ignoring this?
If your intent was to educate me, perhaps refrain from obscenities so your teachings don't fall on deaf ears.
Bro, if it's $3 in single digits, what the fuck do you think it is when you buy a home? When it's that much of a difference being that low, that means it's a huge difference the higher you go up.
This has EVERYTHING to do with large scale economics. Everything is intertwined, especially the value of your currency.

The difference is negligible. Confirmed economically retarded.
Already conceded to that multiple times.
Perhaps not on a larger scale, but spending 2$ extra on a novel is how I would define "negligible".
Seeing how it's easily $6 higher in Canada for the same book is hardly call that negligible.
Go into higher figures and it's pretty easy to see that there's nothing negligible about the difference.
All the books I buy show both the US price and the Canadian price on the back, and the difference is nothing higher than 3 bucks. Negligible. Pocket change.
Again, I already stated that on a larger scale, it's different.
$3 isn't negligible when you're in single fucking digits. That's huge.

I've only recently noticed how much we apologize here. Sometimes it seems like I could trip someone and they'd say sorry.
We don't even apologise that much... Like, sure, we apologise, but it's not like our defining characteristic.
Bump into someone? You say sorry. It's just common courtesy. I would assumed everyone else does it as well.
Maybe it's just my area, but I've had many times where I was completely at fault for doing something and the other person says sorry, it happens all the time at work.
Such as? Care to give an example?
I feel like that's happened to me before, but y'know, it's also happened to me in the states as well.
Sometimes at work I'll walk past someone and they sorry as if they're in my way, or I'll go to put something in one of the bunkers and people will move and apologize when they aren't even close to being in the way. It happens the most wile I'm working so it could just have something to do with the uniform.
Okay, yeah. I definitely know what you mean. But I don't know if it's an exclusively-Canadian characteristic. I spend a moderate amount of time in other countries, and it doesn't seem to out-of-place there. Though, I have never been in a work environment while staying in other countries. Any Americans that want to interject are welcome to.

You should have him hold it with his pinky instead of being Atlas
But that isn't as dramatic as this.
[btw it's not called Superman Shrugged. I can do better than that.]
Superman Drugged

Pretty good m8. Don't forget the Jesus imagery though. Gotta hit people over the head with that stuff.
Is Superman Christian?
Presumably. He grew up in Kansas... Then again, it depends on which continuity.

Of course. I won't spoil my next story arc, but I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with Lex Luthor eating the body and blood Superman, and thus becoming possessed by him. I'm calling it: Superman: Last Son of God

Is that an imitation of my drawing or are you just not all that interested with it?

it's a shrug
Oh. Okay. It would have been more clever if he was trying to imitate my drawing. Oh well.

But...superman holding it with a pinky dough
[There's a book called Atlas Shrugged coincidence?! I think not!]
It would be way less dramatic because the earth would look like a basketball spinning on his pinky. Maybe next time.
[Yeah, that's why I said I can do better.]

I really don't see the point of these. We're a forum - we already discuss shit. It's our sole-purpose.
I would rather see someone organise a way to live stream the various tournaments that people set up in Gaming. Or maybe even a formal debate of some kind.

It's the mute system for this site.
But how does it work?
I can still see people I've put on my Ignore list posts.
It should spoiler their posts.
But it doesn't. I'm guessing no one uses it, therefore these problems have been overlooked.
