I thought those were American Dollars at first. What's the going exchange rate?

I don't understand that logic. Don't the same factors that are driving up the cost of the AV going to also apply to the EXT? So, how does the price gap narrow enough to make that statement?

Can't consider moving to the U.S. yet, Heavy D, as the Canadian dollar is getting so much better!

? (compared to this time last year, when it was down to as low as 0.72 exchance rate).
BTW, Paul, my thinking is only clouded by the drugs I ~~take~~ sell!!

Bermuda Blue? Are you trading for a Bermuda Blue? Love that Bermuda Blue

Yea, good idea. You should look for a tax payer leach that has lived off their goverment positions. They can relate to having to earn a paycheck much better :E:

You might want to reconsider that thought. The exchange rate is always in a state of flux. And the dollars that you pay in taxes have a much more direct effect on your life and the quality of it.

True, True,..... I am in the 43% tax bracket, which means the first 43 cents of each dollar I make go to keep those lazy ******* down the street, and their 6 generations of family, on the welfare!! Now THAT would make me wanna find the sniper rifle! :8:

chad2fw · Mar 30, 2005

That's right folks...Yak is in the 43% tax bracket....that's a cool 10% more than the richest Americans pay...

Ironically...The American Revolution was started over the "high" taxes of the day...they paid roughly 10%...let that marinate for a while.

atleast in america i can keep my springfield 45 canadas against guns no good

I'm not sure what's harder to get my head around, the large price tag ( even though it's not in USD ), or a newfie with money >:D

I figure if you want it bad enough and can afford it, just go for it. Idid and am glad I did.

As for this whole working my A$$ of to support some fat lazy trailer trash. Well i am physaically disabled. I fell 25 feet of a roof and forgot how to land. I have 2 4" Titanium Harrington rods in my lower back. I spent 2 whole weeks out of work after the operation.
I think those Welfare families should only be allowed to stay on it for no more than 1 year in any 5 year period. This will get them people off their butts and doing something.

I just hate the fact that I work my butt off so some person who has not a dam thing wrong with them other than being just plain LAZY.

The way i feel about unemployment is 6 months max. If cannot find work in that periiod of time you need look in more than just the TV.

OK I am done
