Big Cheese, no?
Tariffs and taxes to protect the Canadian dairy industry?
Big dairy for sure, but I guess this is like the meat conversation - I just donāt eat enough cheese to make it worth while bringing cheap cheese up from south of the border. Butter yes, and I have totally smuggled cultured Amish butter into the country from PA, and I would do it again in a heart beat! 
Smuggled cheese? Smuggled cheese that isnāt any good? Iām definitely living in the āwrongā part of Ontario (or maybe the right part), what with St. Albert just down the roadā¦
Smuggled cheese from America, not Quebec!

Ah. Donāt need to smuggle from Quebec - lots of good cheese in the Valley. (St. Albert is in the Valley.) If Iām getting this right, though, the protectionism and the smuggling are a direct result of the fact that we stinkinā Socialists donāt subsidise our farmers to the same extent as the good Capitalists to the South.
How ironic.

Playing Devilās Advocate here but I think it could have to do with a regard for sexual activity as ārealā as opposed to bazooka-on-spleen āfantasyā violence. Iām not saying either is ok for kids to consume, but folks are likely motivated by a reasonable assumption their kids wonāt have to deal with exaggerated violence while wanting to take responsibility for the kidās knowledge about what will be a part of their life.
Oh well, hereās another link then.

Here, have one of mine.
Whatās the issue with likes? Are they reciprocally generated or do we get a monthly quota?
I think likes for plebian members are more limited than the likes allowed the elite regularsā¦

We had pretty decent sex ed in the late 80s/early 90s in my elementary/middle/high schools in Maine, somehow. I remember in 5th grade a man came in to talk about living with HIV. When it came to the Q&A at the end, one kid asked ādid you get HIV from a man or a woman?ā The whole class erupted in laughter for a good minute until the presenter, stone-faced replied āA man.ā Dead silence. He was, without a doubt, one of the bravest motherfuckers Iāve ever had the opportunity to meet.

I wish it were easier to find the guidelines on that stuff around here. They really hide it.
You can find it through your badges on your profile, I think.
Maybe they do that because they donāt want people gaming the system, but to earn trust levels via real engagement? Youād have to ask @codinghorror about that, though.
We were just talking about this over at the questions thread, mainly, why Iām not at regular level yet.

I appear to be a plebian member as well.
Can any mods @Falcor @codinghorror or editors @beschizza give us the lowdown on likes?
