Different question: "You are wrong" is a correct english sentence that means that you think what the other person is saying is incorrect, right? I have just had someone laughing at me for saying that, implying it makes no sense whatsoever. | ||

Say this, I buy a new car for $20k, the government gets GST+PST from it. Now lets say I use this car for 5 years and sell it for 10k to someone over Kijij. No tax goes to the government. On the otherhand, if I go to a used car dealership, or an actual company, and I sell the car to them, and they sell the car to someone else, they are taxed on that, is that correct? So the Kijiji way the government taxes only once, which this way the government gets taxes twice. Am I understanding the situation correctly? It was just a quick thought that popped into my mind, would appreciate an answer, thanks ^^ | ||

It was just a quick thought that popped into my mind, would appreciate an answer, thanks ^^ I am pretty sure you are supposed to pay taxes if you sell something for a lot of money on ebay, or just to some other person. There is probably a lower limit below which you don't have to, probably something that accumulates over the year, so you can't get sued because you sold 3 apples for a dollar to one guy you know, and didn't pay taxes for that. I'd guess that limit is below 10k, but i honestly don't know. Because otherwise what is the difference between a trader selling stuff to other people, and non-traders selling stuff to other people? | ||

Tbh I was actually told that I wasn't allowed to use the computers… so I went crazy people watching. And then I came home and told my Mom how my day went, and I came back here this morning to ask you a question. It's gym class, everyone is sitting in the bleachers in the gym for 40 minutes. You find a tennis ball on the ground and start playing wall ball with your friend. The gym teacher(sitting in a table on the opposite side of the gym from the bleachers you are sitting in) with another gym teacher, blocking the only exit from the gym save just enough room for one person to fit through [bleachers] [passage] [table] [wall]at a time) tells you to sit back down. Do you? If you throw again + Show Spoiler + (like I did) he continues asking. Do you continue throwing or sit back down?+ Show Spoiler + If you continue, he asks again, rather pissed this time. Do you continue throwing?+ Show Spoiler + If you do, he gets out of his chair and walks over to you, to TAKE YOUR BALL AWAY IN GYM CLASS. You can't throw balls in gym class. You can't be active. You must sit down... tl;dr I hate high school. With a stupid question to boot. | ||
