Welcome to Fark, I guess.

I thought it was funny...although I live by the credo of "an easily offended mind is a weak one".

You on the other hand, probably masturbate at night thinking of ways you can use your politically correct I'm-a-victim mentality on a daily basis.

Lighten up, Francis.

The problem is that once you let one guy in with his racist jokes, you will lose coontrol if you don't nip it in the bud.

Canada doesn't tax lottery winnings. That's a pretty insane amount of money.

I still think lotteries are a horrible thing, and stories like this help to perpetuate it. I think this is one of those vices where the collective bad far outweighs any good that it contributes to society. I'm not saying that it's all bad - the revenues it generates is great. But preying on the hopes for a "better life" for thousands, maybe millions, then killing that hope over and over again - I'm not a psychologist or sociologist, but I can't help but feel that this is really bad for society on some level that's hard to really measure.

That's the blunt way of viewing it. The fact is, the poor play the lottery much more than people of means. Right now, I don't think the country needs to have more money flowing out of the hands of the poor, even if it's done voluntarily. It only helps to perpetuate the cycle of helplessness. I don't necessarily advocate outlawing lotteries, but I can't help but feel on a gut level that it's not a good thing for society and that there aren't enough voices speaking out against it.

Or maybe there are, but people refuse to listen.

Wow man.. 'twas a joke. I have Canadian friends, and their magazine prices (among other things) are absolute nonsense.

Wait until the USD can't buy you a candy bar. Canadian prices will *still* be a load of crap. I say, next time we hit parity, we just annex that shiat right then and there.
