We have had loonies in Canada for a very long time and I don't remember any account saying there was mass confusion because quarters and loonies were around the same size although the color difference is quite explicit. |

Disbelief usually. It is so uncommon that one uses a dollar coin that some don't believe they exist. Others really don't think at the cash register all that much.
Just they using a Two dollar bill at a store. Or an old half dollar or dollar coin from the early 1970 (not one of the silver ones). Some cashiers can't make head or tails of them. Other will later swap out their own money for the old coins or two dollar bills.

Not sure about Canada and Britain, but Japan's coins weigh almost nothing. You could probably get over $20 in yen (if not much more) before you'd get the weight of one gold dollar. Make it so US coins don't weigh me down and jingle as I walk, and maybe I'd be more apt to use them.

U.S. should press China over Falun Gong
Not that the US will do anything, but still. |

All the killers were found and charged in both cases, so I do not know what you mean. There was investigation, just not enough evidence obtained at the time. As the link one other member gave says, the reason might be that it was clear who the killer is in the black-murder, while not in the white-murder case. |

Also someone had mention in another forum that Detroit should be turn into a Amnesty Zone. Illegal Alien agree to move to Detroit and live there for a certain number of years are granted citizenship. This would help take care of the population loss plaguing Detroit.

If the black man did the stand your ground argument and get let off for murder, THEN you can make them the same. Until then you are deliberately hiding what you are really trying to say.

There wasn't any serious investigation into the shooting until MONTHS later. The police initially took Zimmerman's word at face value, and let him waltz off. It was only when there was a massive public outcry that the police bothered to take the matter seriously. That's the reason why the shooting of Taryvon Martin got more national exposure than that other guy.

Harmony Gold Sues Hasbro
Quote:
ANN has detail too. This strikes me as... dumb. The toy is colored to look like Jetfire, and Jetfire's color scheme is different from the Valkyries. Plus there's no way Hasbro would be able to force people who already bought the thing to return it. Should this have been in another thread? Last edited by Shyni; 2013-07-24 at 22:57. |

I say this with the disclaimer that the US shouldn't be pressing anyone on anything and isn't in a position to do so. That should be the UN's job. |

And just where did I say that you should be outraged? Please, tell me. I just asked what you think about it. You sharply attacked me with your assumptions of what I meant, which I obviously haven't. Don't put words into my mouth. |
