Re: Being more positive on CF

I think you have a rather odd and distorted view of “inequality.” It’s not a hard concept or fact, nor is it particularly hard to measure. It’s not about envy or about personal outlook on life. It is...

Re: Being more positive on CF

Envy is a state of mind — an emotion. Inequality is a measurable financial & resource fact (assuming “inequality” here refers to the financial kind). I suppose one requires inequality to have envy,...

:thumb: (although I’m not always a good practitioner :redface:).

You can really get a citation for being rude in Germany? I thought it was us Canadians that were suppose to be the polite ones...

Re: Being more positive on CF

It’s hard to tell the reason for a slower-moving car, or indeed a vessel. Could be mechanical limitations, could be the driver’s moving as fast as (s)he feels is safe, or could be they are a dyck....

Re: Being more positive on CF

Yes, that is indeed one of the considerations when setting road speed limits. But there are many others, including the physical engineering parameters, weather and climate, volumes, and policy...

Re: Being more positive on CF

:thumb:

In fact, roads are engineered with maximum speed limits in mind. Naturally, the posted limits are always conservative, but the more people push beyond these rated limits, the smaller that...

Re: Being more positive on CF

Both are truly scary.

Thanks Stu, and I agree that slow moving traffic can be a hazard, especially given these scenarios. Left-lane hoggers are bad. It’s called the passing lane for a reason.

Re: Being more positive on CF

Fun personal anecdote. A few years ago my partner and I spent seven months driving our motorcycles across Canada and the USA. In all we drove in seven provinces and something like 22 states,...

Re: Being more positive on CF

Wow, talk about being anti-social :rolleyes:.

It’s a maximum speed limit for a reason, not a minimum, a maximum. Some jurisdictions do have minimums. The one I’m aware of (in Quebec) lists 100 km...

Re: Being more positive on CF

I don’t feel it’s my role to be positive, or negative, when responding to a question of fact. If I have information that is pertinent, then I try and provide it. Sometimes the information does not...

Re: Being more positive on CF

I suppose you’re right Ann. If people don’t actually know how to use search tools to target specific website, then they should — but I think most web users do.

Even so; a discussion forum is a...

Re: Being more positive on CF

Exactly. So if you don’t have the time/desire to give the answer, just move on. No one compels anyone to respond to anything. A good natured suggestion to search more relevant sources can be useful....

Re: Being more positive on CF

Good observations Red. I’m often bemused by the “go search” responses. While it’s true there is a ton of good information here, the fact is this is not a database, nor a library. This is a discussion...

Re: Being more positive on CF

I dunno about the tomboy label — I don’t seem to hear it much anymore. Seems very — young? There are a few women who are engaged in this boating life, but definitely the minority. Might be the...

True … I am still learning.

But wait, are you saying I should ignore this message?:confused:? Damn, caught in my own web :biggrin:.

I don’t have anyone on “ignore”. I just know who to ignore :wink:.

Re: Being more positive on CF

Rather amusing thread. The equivalent of navel gazing I suppose (and who doesn’t love to do that :wink:?).

I don’t perceive the general attitude here to be overly negative. There are few less...
