Found this at a thrift store for $25. For The Bealtes "White Album"? A steal in my opinion.

Nothing. I have triplicates of every Beatles LP. But seriously, you shouldn't base the value of your collection on Discogs' pricing. The prices they list are what a record dealer would be willing to pay for your albums, which is markedly less than the rate at which he would sell them back to you. In a private sale to a collector, you'll only be screwing yourself if you sell for so little.

EDIT: A downvote. Hilarious. The trouble with this subreddit is that about 2/3 of the people here are clueless.

If you're willing to sell it for around $10, I'll take it! Discogs is my best friend right now.

Hey, no worries. I've been buying and selling records since the early 90s. I'm telling you, that album is in short supply and there is a high demand. Clean copies sell for a minimum of $50, even if it's a late pressing. Whoever is down voting me has no idea what he or she is talking about.

It's hard to find anywhere. First of all, the jacket aged poorly; and second, it was a party album so it's hard finding a copy that plays cleanly.

Don't listen to anyone who says you paid too much. That late 70s pressing goes for $50 (regardless of what the discog apostles say). You paid a fair price for that album.

From that angle, it looks like a hairy vagina.

Opened up? More like he explained, through a couple of cute analogies, a defence lawyer's role in the justice system.

I have no idea why you're being down voted. You're absolutely right.

The Canadian government will issue emergency passports for situations like the one you're in. My brother committed suicide in Berlin in 2000. I didn't have a passport but had to go to Europe immediately. I arranged with the passport office to have one of their employees meet me at Canada Place in Edmonton on a Sunday. After paying an additional $120 rush fee, I had my passport in less than an hour and was on a flight to Frankfurt the next day.

I'm just joking. I don't really care. I could have (should have?) pointed out that he and Ringo look like Yasser Arafat.

Oh, and he doesn't kind of look like Ringo -- he's Ringo's doppelgänger!

And just for the heck of it, go fuck yourself, timmysprinkles.

I thought that was Ringo Starr for a minute. I hear Harper is a big Beatles fan, so the look is probably intentional. What a knob.

I had no idea organized religion was actually that organized.

They're meaningless in terms of how they relate to an election several years hence, but they're extremely useful to gauge public reaction to legislation, scandals, and the lack of transparency we've been seeing. I seriously doubt that the government pays any attention to the polls, but at least they let Canadians know where their fellow members of the public stand.

Hey no worries. We slung a few blunt arrows at one another, but in the end we both learned something, which is great. I admire your character and collegiality. Most people would not have conceded, even in the face of evidence. I wish health, happiness, and success.

But I don't know any priests because I'm not a Catholic. Still, I can conceive of the possibility that there are left leaning clergy who believe that in certain instances, a woman's right to choose should be upheld. Maybe a simple Google search will prove it.

Hmmm, it seems pro-choice Catholics are actually pretty organized.

Here's a story about a pro-choice priest from Quebec.

therealtrypto · 14 days

Actually, you're the one making the assertion. I'd say the onus is on you to prove to me that all 40,000 (your number, not mine) are pro-life.

therealtrypto · 14 days

I'm not joking. Not even a little bit.

So you're saying that the possibility doesn't exist? You're saying that it's not even conceivable that there are liberal Catholic priests who believe that there are certain instances where abortion amounts to a private, personal choice? Need I remind (or inform) you that universal statements are stupendously dubious? Your comments are a gross affront to logic. There is a distinctive left/right division within the catholic church, with prominent theologians sitting on both sides of the divide. Although there is an undeniable dogma governing Catholic theology, there is also a long history of debate and discourse within the Church that has allowed it to modernize considerably from the mean-spirited doctrines of self-denial scribbled by that cold-hearted toad, St. Paul. The Catholic left is at the forefront of social justice and has actually used the issue of abortion to hold pro-life politicians to task for hypocritically denying citizens who've already had the pleasure of being born affordable and adequate access to health care.

I think you need to look into this a bit more. I think you need to understand that not all Catholic priests are indoctrinated women haters. Many are devoted to living a life that is exemplary of human kindness, compassion, and understanding. And of course, there are many who are fanatical, right wing ideologues. Explain to me how this is different than any organization or institution on the planet?

Unfortunately it wasn't settled.

The mistake you make is comparing the political faction of the church, which is comprised of old men in robes instead of suits, with the grassroots movement within the church that honestly believes that abortion is a high-stakes moral debate. I agree that the Vatican does what it can for PR, but that's a very different thing from a well-intentioned parish priest taking a side in a debate that he feels is morally just. By analogy that's like saying everyone who has ever voted conservative is as evil and shameless as the Harper conservatives. Such a statement is obviously absurd. Hopefully you'll untangle your own poor reasoning and come to see this.

As for your last point regarding my last point, minimizing a relevant statement that I make to insulate your weak argument against its own inadequacies is cute but not particularly compelling.

therealtrypto · 15 days

I wasn't trying to refute what you said, I was pointing out that you're trying to wed two entirely separate issues. I get that you hate the Church because of its complete unwillingness to be accountable for rape and abuse. You're justified to think this. But the Church's abject failure to hold pederast clergymen accountable has precious little to do with clergy (who may or may not be rapists, but we should presume their innocence until we prove them guilty) and lay people who have a legitimate right to state their grievance with abortion laws. I should also point out that it's not just the Catholic Church that opposes abortion, so even if you were right about the church using it as a saving face tactic (and you're not right), you still fail to explain why so many other Christian sects oppose a woman's right to choose.

What do you mean by "the Church"? Your use of the definite article "the" makes it sound like you're referring to a specific institution, like the Catholic Church. And for the record, "the Church's" abortion stance is actually rooted, rightly or wrongly, in a belief that scraping a developing fetus from a womb is morally bankrupt. The issue of child molestation has very little, if anything, to do with abortion. By your line of reasoning, one could argue that every scrap of good human deeds put forth by the Church are measures to save face, which is absurd. Whether you want to admit it or not, there are actually some good people in the Church who don't fuck kids and who have a legitimate discomfort with the issue of abortion. There are also people who have no religious inclinations or affiliations whatsoever who are pro-life and who probably aren't child molesters in need of saving a little face. I'm pro-choice, and I seldom set foot in Churches (weddings and funerals are the exceptions), but I can still understand why certain people are uncomfortable with abortion. It is a pretty gnarly thing, when you think about it.

Anti-abortion activists are kidding themselves if they think that making abortion illegal will curb gender selection in the Indo-Canadian community. The problem with gender selection is deeply ingrained in that demographic's patriarchal cultural values and beliefs. Make abortion illegal, and we'll see a dramatic rise in back room abortions and an even greater mortality rate amongst Indo-Canadians, adding dead mothers who've had their uteruses crudely scrapped to the frightening number of aborted female fetuses.

Great idea, but I give the business about one week of free ownership before the Hell's Angels take it over.
