This is not server economy, but srsly wth is up with canada, I was donating for server when I thought, meh I could probably donate 10, after all its canadian dollars not us dollars, so I went and checked the USD/CAD exchange rate... To my surprise, 1.1 USD is 1 CAD ...... WHAT THE FUCK

If you haven't noticed already the U.S is trillions of dollars in debt, just to china. Our dollar can buy less and less everyday. Since the spending on the war in iraq has greatly decreased and the budget for the military is going to be cut soon by 150million dollars, our dollar will hopefully regain its worth by the year 2015

The Canadian dollar has been (roughly) on par with the USD for quite some time now.

When I went to london a few years ago, 1 pound was 2.2 canadian dollars. I went to pizzahut and a coke was 2 and pizza was 10 pounds. That's almost a $5 glass of coke, let alone the cost of the meal. I hope the server understood my 1 pound tip.

That made me question a whole bunch of things so I understand why you're ticked. It's time the world starts living like star trek.

I SO don't want to get into socioeconomic discussions about who's doing things right and who's doing things wrong. Our very nature is counter-intuitive, so we tend to get what helps mixed up with what hurts. I've become very opinionated on that matter, after studying everything I've studied. I've seen the world from more angles than I care to enumerate.

Suffice it to say, if countries keep running up debt like this, money will have no meaning sooner rather than later.

Jangles, I'm pretty sure that they calculate gratuities (15%) into the bill in the U.K
