[QUOTE=OvB;36297859]Because everything has to be flown in basically by a Cessna with skis. It's not that they don't have food, it's that they can't get food to them. You basically have to live off the land up there. That's why everything is so expensive. It's a rarity.[/QUOTE] It is really depressing that hundreds of years after the invention of the train, we still have problems that they would easily resolve, but don't.
I've lived in Northern Canada (Northern Alberta, to be exact) for about 9 months, though not as far North as Iqaluit, Nunavut. Prices up here are higher than what I'm used to, but to compensate for that, the minimum wage is higher, at $9.40 an hour As a cashier, I got $12.04 an hour, since there are more jobs than people in the providence. I got promoted and then got paid $12.79 an hour, but I had almost no savings because of the cost of stuff up here Large Pizza from any pizza place? $25+ Gas? $1.20/litre+ Large Fries, Single Patty Burger, Large Drink? $9.50 35 pack of water was about $9 by the time Deposit and the Environmental Fee was added on Jug of Milk was $6 Still felt nice taking home $750 every two weeks, way more than what I'm getting down here in the US now And yes, my town was full of Native's. As a supervisor in the store I worked in, I was kicking them out almost every day because they were drunk and stealing shit. They would steal Hair Spray and Listerine just to drink that and get drunk. We had to keep them locked up in Cabinets and you needed $25 or more in groceries to buy them
[QUOTE=Lazor;36307875]oh boo hoo if you can't deal with being dismissed out of hand for making definitive claims based on nothing but pseudo-intellectual bullshit rather than any real understanding of the human mind then don't make those awful posts[/QUOTE] So far the only person who has refuted my point is you. I'll follow the herd dogma you obviously espouse and say that you are the one making awful posts. For example, the one I quoted you on earlier was flooded with dumb ratings. Maybe you should reevaluate the value of your own posts before attacking my own. And how is it pseudo-intellectual to believe that greed is inherent in human beings? An esoteric knowledge of complex human psychology (something which you don't have) is not necessary to offer ones view on one of the most simple psychological traits. People want to eat more, sleep better, and fuck as often as possible. How about this time you tell me why I'm wrong instead of throwing around meaningless and erroneous charges against my knowledge. I'll give you one more chance, but this time learn to capitalize a fucking sentence.
...one more chance or what? i think this guy is backseat moderating. mods????
fucking hell, this guy is also judge dredd as well as ayn rand?
[QUOTE=Lazor;36308832]...one more chance or what? i think this guy is backseat moderating. mods????[/QUOTE] Okay, here is me commenting on psychology again probably to your dismay. I think your posts revolve around social acceptance, your attempts to arouse support for attacks against me is probably due to the fact that you know I'm a somewhat infamous and controversial poster on this sub forum. So now you resort to childish comedy. But to answer your question, one more chance to post with some integrity or I ignore your posts completely from here on. Probably not a major loss for you because I think your post count is more important to you than the content of your individual posts.
considering that i barely recognize your name this almost certainly won't be a loss and i really really don't give a shit about my post count. [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] like, that's just a fantasy you made up based on nothing
Steam Name: "Weedboner Pisschrist" Yup I think I have you just about figured out.
[QUOTE=Strider*;36308823]People want to eat more, sleep better, and fuck as often as possible.[/QUOTE] hell yes humans are literally filthy nonthinking animals, this is a philosophy i can get behind
Whatever the case, you can save yourself some time hoping I'll respond to any of your further posts.
oh man, he's judging me based on my steam profile now. whatever shall i do??
[QUOTE=Strider*;36308918]Steam Name: "Weedboner Pisschrist" Yup I think I have you just about figured out.[/QUOTE] facepunch name: Strider* yup I think I have you just about figured out o wait no thats fucking asinine
[QUOTE=Turnips5;36308924]hell yes humans are literally filthy nonthinking animals, this is a philosophy i can get behind[/QUOTE] Yes that's what I said please tell me more about my philosophy. Does everyone on this forum post with mindless and sniding rhetoric? Genpol at least has substance and appears to be polite. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself and grow up. [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Turnips5;36308940]facepunch name: Strider* yup I think I have you just about figured out o wait no thats fucking asinine[/QUOTE] Lord of the Rings, I like the series. Please continue your psychological analysis. [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] Ooh it's been a while, maybe you'll actually say something this time.
[QUOTE=Strider*;36308935]Whatever the case, you can save yourself some time hoping I'll respond to any of your further posts.[/QUOTE] wow thanks that really saved me a lot of time.......
[QUOTE=Strider*;36308918]Steam Name: "Weedboner Pisschrist" Yup I think I have you just about figured out.[/QUOTE] Are you fucking serious. That's the same shit argument that the Anglo-Saxon foundation uses: "Oh, he has a steam name of "Grand Prince Abassi of Nigeria!" hahaha he's some gay nigger half breed who faps to bukkake Japanese animations don't listen to him!!"
