Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Isn't that crazy, somebody breaks into my appartment and steals my *change*... nothing else, just the change from the change jar and a few coins on top of my bookshelf... they didn't even take the jar itself!  Very odd criminals here... Don't forget

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's because Americans have an "every man for themselves" type attitude. Community is a part of Canadian culture, the idea is despised by Americans.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not sure. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's lots of crime, but it seems to be a fraction of what you guys have down there (I have lots of family in Michigan and other parts of the US). People here bitch but don't do much about it, down there, they'll kick your ass because they can</div>
