Post by: xyle_one on 28 August 2003, 01:09: Im from Reno Nevada, USA. Horrible place, and yet still a decent place to stay. Except of course for one of the nations highest high school drop out rates, highest teen pregnancies, highest number of teens smoking, teenage abortions, legalized gambling & prostitution, 24 hour drinking. There are more, i know it. Im leaving reno in like 3 weeks ;)

Its part of the GVRD (Greater Vancouver Regional District)

I live about twenty/thirthy minutes from downtown Vancouver

I really like Vancouver, It can seem to rain alot some times, but New York gets more rain every year than Vancouver does ( heard that on the Radio)

I've only ever lived in BC, but have been to Toronto, Seattle.......and thats about it, but I TRY to be as worldly as I can

I would like to see London, Berlin, Moscow,Stockholm, Helsinki, Kiev, and evey where else

OOH OOH St.Petersburg too!

I can somewhat speak French.

And I can speak/write/read Russian, Hebrew, and English (heh) fluently. How's that for bragging rights? =\ (Now I know I am going to get out-done.) (Please stroke my ego.)

What's wrong with Clinton? I absolutely loathe Bush and his PNAC (http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm) goons, but I don't know much about Clinton other than that he is a Democrat and that affair with Monica Lewinsky.

I was just pointing out the irony of how much I dislike Arkansas, yet it brought us a better prez than badass Texas did.

Not that I can think of.... oh wait you mean Iraq. Yah we really screwed them over. But now we have their oil. So we can stop paying $1.85 for gas. I know that may seem cheap to other people in the world but its damn expensive here. I want it to be $.30 again... for premium

how ya doing?

$1.85 per US gallon eh and you are complaning???

The rest of us in the world have to pay money for our petrol (gas). In the UK petrol is 80 - 85 pence a litre we calculated this out to be aprox $4.75 per US gallon.

You get no sympathy around here mate, your government is giving the stuff away!

Enjoy the cheap gas while it lasts!

It's a Victorian Ideal, from the same guys who gave us the "Week-end", and the very popular "Hol-ee-day"

Just think of the BC government as Robin Hood they take from the rich, and get caught drunk driving in Hawaii

Yeah, that sounds like a great place. Over here in the states the rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Our government is fucked up I think. Hell, we can be arrested for stupid shit like spitting on the sidewalk(which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1000 fine). A person who gets busted with a meth lab usually gets punished worse than a damn murderer. BTW, I feel that murderers should be taken to the range and be shot or should be hung shortly after thier trial(and they should get a fair trial based on pure facts and evidence...not just assumptions)rather than sit in prision for years(eating up our tax money). Alot of our laws are outrageous for a country that is supposed to be all about "Freedom".

Question of the post. Where do we all live?

Indiana, USA here
