For those who call Canada the land of high taxes, part 2.

The original farm is in southern Quebec not far from Ottawa, but McDonalds are everywhere in that area and some of them won't admit that they're related. Unfortunately they are getting old and they may agree to make the farm a golf course pretty soon. >_<

Beautiful country though and unique people, it's like someone air lifted a piece of Ireland to Canada and threw in some French people just to mix things up.

In the Outaouais region? Nope, I probably don't know them. I live in the Mont

Macman, The fuckcanada.com's reason for hating us is "CANADIANS ARE GAY!!!!!" Witch is pretty stupid if you ask me.

Laukev7 Sure, you can help. How experinced are you at html/perl/javascript/php?

[Laukev7]

I have just finished a thorough, intensive learning process HTML, and I've become good at it! I can do CSS, and write XHTML 1.1 compliant websites. In fact, I am designing my own, and I have a pretty good design (although it was more an experiment than anything, and I don't really know what to put on it). It's not quite finished, as I rewrote it three times: once with the Mozilla editor, then with raw code to make it HTML 4.1 compliant, and the third time to make it xhtml 1.1  compliant (CSS only).

You should view it with Mozilla for now, though, as it uses CSS2, and I didn't have time to check it with every browser yet. Also, the Netfirms banner breaks XHTML compliance, so I'll probably switch to another server (and eventually, my own).

Also, I have just started to learn PHP, which I will use to write my own guestbook for starters.

Hmmm... well their reasons for hating Canada are certainly original. I've never heard anyone being accused of gay before. There is one flaw though. If all of them are gay, then wouldn't they die off without being able to procreate? Unless each generation is cloned which is very likely. Very interesting. I wonder what kind of genius mastermind came up with this "Gay Canada" theory.

Yeah, but I heard you get all sorts of social benefits paid by the state. I wouldn't mind living in Sweden, actually. Learning Swedish wouldn't be such a long way from German.

Yes, a lot of the taxes goes to social benefits but lately the governments have been struck by megalomania. A (lost) bid for the olympics in 2004 was something we taxpayers had to cough up money for, a bridge between southern Sweden and Denmark which they swore we wouldn

Very interesting. Still, corruptness depends on who leads the state, not the country.

Uhm, I scoped your page with Mozilla (cuz I was bored) and I coulda swore I saw white text over a white background - on your lefthand navigation.  That's not necessarily a good thing.


And my two cents:
It seems like the American way is to not give a whole lot of money to the government and then complain about how the government doesnt do anything for them.  If you want health care and education and recycling and whatnot, somebody has to pay for it.  But if taxes were increased, it would end up paying for defense anyway.  I suspect that the reason Canada and Sweden are able to provide great services is that neither country has a multi-trillion dollar war machine to feed.

What version of Mozilla do you use? I tested my website with Mozilla 1.4, both in FreeBSD and Windows, as well as Netscape 7.1. The page is supposed to display white text on a black background, as on this picture.

Perhaps you customised your page display? This is my first real website, so I want to know as much as possible.

[worker201]

I used Mozilla 1.6a for windowsXP, and it's a nightly build from like 2 weeks ago.  It looks like your black image with the circleK is displaying really thin, leaving the white crosshatch background visible.

Like so:

Hope this helps

Your link is down, Worker201.

But I know what you mean, I had the same display problems when I viewed it in Safari. I'm getting to that, though. I think it's because the 'collapse' attribute is a CSS2 feature not yet implemented in most browsers. Maybe your development version has a compatibility bug? I'm going to have to replace this by a full sidebar background, instead of just affixing a gradient to a black cell.

[Laukev7]

I have at last solved the problem. It has been giving me a headache for such a long time! It turns out I didn't need the collapse attribute at all; all I had to do was use a division instead of a table. It should work OK in other browsers now. I tested it on Opera, Konqueror, and it even works well in Explorer. I'll try it on Safari at school tomorrow.
