um, there's way more 'new stuff' on the internet than any lbs. frankly, my browsing of bf not only leaves me completely unimpressed/somewhat frustrated in brick and mortar stores, it also keeps me a bit more up to date than most of the folks running them.
um, if you can ride it before you buy it, it's definitely not what this thread is about, and is most likely, again, "oriental"
lol @ perpetuating this fallacy that canada's some kind of wonderland... dh just misses japan. there's only 3 cities in canada that i'd voluntarily live in (vancouver, montreal & toronto), and i wouldn't choose any of them over at least 5-10 american cities, maybe more as 2/3 are way too cold.
seriously, your government may be more responsible/commendable than ours, but it really doesn't show in daily life... there is definitely as many backward ****s in canada as there are in the US. it's all snobbery and myth and completely supported by self loathing americans.
unless the cool things you're talking spending on are labatts beer, maple syrup, ham that gets called bacon for some reason, or beavertails, i'd guess we're buying the same exact stuff, and producing quite a bit more of it than canada.
and very not japanese
You are missing the point of my post.
1) It doesn't matter where my frame was originally constructed, If I buy from a local guy, the money stays in my own country.
2) Its not whats new, its just that I can go to a store and PHYSICALLY hold something. I can see things that I wouldn't normally lookup on the internet. If you can't understand the importance of a LBS then you should stop posting.
3) Again, Physically holding.
4) I never said anything against America, Dr. Literacy. You're fragmenting what I said. America is so anti socialism its crazy. Canada is commendable for efforts that we have made. Example: All humans have civil liberties, not select ones, like in America.
5) I meant the government would spend money on cool things, Dr. Literacy. You know this, don't you? I.E spending the money on education, healthcare, roads, sustainability, etc?
You give Canada this simpleton rep. We don't call our ham bacon. We call ham that is cooked on the grill and sliced one centimeter thick 'Canadian Bacon'. Bacon is still bacon. Obviously you haven't been to Canada because everyone drink Lakeport, Noob. Maple syrup is delicious, and crushes that aunt jamima **** you eat in the suburbs. LOL.
This isn't anything against the japanese builders or people. They can have fun, but I was simply criticizing people who think it is absurd to buy anything local. But of course, you know this, right?
Get an oxygen tank, dude.
