There are millions of firearms in Canada that remain unregistered and thus are considered illegal. But as far as I am concerned the people who did NOT register their firearms are smart. They are not on the gun grabbers shopping list. The moment you register your firearm in Canada is the moment you allow the police to enter your home anytime they want without a search warrant. Stupid Liberals have made criminals out of law abiding people. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

$220/barrel oil would be good news to those of us living in Oilberta who do not rely on transportation to make our living. But $200/barrel oil would not be good news for the world economy. If you think food is expensive now, wait for the hyper inflation. BTW ... the world's oil supply will eventually run out (so alternatives do need to be found). But contrary to what some people think, it won't be running out in our life times. There is enough oil still in the world for several more centuries. Here in Oilberta there is estimated to be enough oil to power the entire world (at today's production rates) for another 100 years and we are only one of many supplies. So oil will be here for at least 100 more years. It just may not be cheap oil. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I don't know. You need to ask Bernie Ecclestone. 2003 was the last time they raced in Austria and guess what race showed up on the 2004 calendar while the A-1 GP was omitted. I will give you one hint. It's the GP that is being postponed possibly canceled in 2011 because of recent political turmoil. Yes that's right the Bahrain GP replaced the Austrian A-1 GP. Bernie Ecclestone may have been good for the sport in the 1970s but he needs to be perpetually bitch slapped now for some of the things he has done to F1 in the last 10-15 years. F1 needs to be more than just Europe. F1 does need to visit many different countries around the globe. But F1 also has deep roots in Europe with many loyal fans. It's a sad day when tracks like Imola, A-1, Magny Cours are no longer on the calendar. Oh and now there are rumors than Bernie wants to take the Australian GP off of the calendar. WTF? I do hope Austin becomes a regular stop. It is a shame that F1 does not visit the USA these days. They may be remote, but they don't need to be building the Austin track. "Road America" and "Watkins Glen" are both F1 worthy tracks. And if they could only make "Sebring" less bumpy, it too could be a good F1 track.

Yes I stand corrected. How could I forget downforce. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

that was awesome!

I liked the engines from the late '80s early '90s the best. F1 was a different era back then. It was still the top technology of the day, but the power was more raw with less restrictions. If you want to see a live F1 race, you can always make a road trip to Montreal in June. It's back on the calendar and barring Bernie Ecclestone messing up the sport for the umpteenth time, it should stay on the calendar for years to come since it is a popular track among not only the fans but also the drivers like it. For me Montreal is a great track, but nothing can replace Spa, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, Suzuka and yes I wish Imola was still on the calendar. 2005 was the year I was heavily into every day skydiving so I did not pay attention to the 2005 US Grand Prix from Indianapolis. But I watched the race the other day and boy did F1 fuck that race up. No excuses, they messed up big time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_United_States_Grand_Prix Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

With Charlie Sheen as president you would know exactly where he stands. There would be no empty promises of socialist bliss, no promises of RAW RAW patriotism. It would simply be how many lines of coke can Charlie do today? How many women will Charlie bang today? So let me ask this, why do others constantly look to politicians as their messiah and saviors? When was the last time a politician told the truth? All I see is politicians who make things up to win power and once in power they do the exact opposite of what they said they would do.

Porsche is know for making really cool commercials and since I do consume Porsche Kool Aid, talking about Ferrari does kind of go against my Porsche religious beliefs and my DNA ... LOL. But I came across a cool Ferrari commercial I thought I'd share for those who like how motorsports have help shape our modern every day cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=1_kwxzU4wL4&vq=medium PS: Technically this is not actually a Ferrari commercial, it's from Shell.

Are you a vegetarian? Or just a Leftist hypocrite? When are you going to post YouTube videos of slaughter houses from all around the world? You know the indigenous people have been hunting seal for hundreds of years now and they have relied on their hunts for food and commerce. Instead of believing all the propaganda from the people who have no doubt indoctrinated you into their Leftist dogma, you really should travel the world, visit some of these places where people hunt seal and talk these people and let them explain to you why they do what they do.

The baseball bat registry will solve all the issues. First off all you need to do is promise the lemmings your registry will only cost 2 million dollars. Once it is approved you can soak the system for as much as you can (hopefully you will able to get about 2 billion dollars of tax payers money spread out to all of your cronnie friends before the baseball bat registry comes on line). Once online governments will know where every baseball bat is and when someone wants to go play some ball, they call up their government and asked them if they are allowed to transport the baseball bat from it's safe storage location to the field of play and back to it's safe storage location between so and so hours of the day. It is a win win for everyone involved. The baseball bat registry will ensure these bats are never used again in crime and the best thing in all of this is all of the unionized government jobs it will create (who cares where the money needed to pay for the registry comes from, all that matters is that you indoctrinate more people into believing Big Government ensures everyone will be safe). Plus if baseball bats ever need to be eliminated, the government will have their confiscation shopping list. Yes everyone needs their own 2 billion dollar baseball bat registry (actually in the USA 2 billion will not be enough, better make that 2 trillion dollars, someone needs to get rich off of all this government spending).

There are some good things on the internet. But there is also no shortage of cancerous elements. One of the cancerous elements of the internet is "Blogging" where anyone with a keyboard and access to the net proclaims to the world "usually using vitriol" how they are right and how anyone who disagrees with them is wrong. People from all political sides are guilty of this. You know the saying "Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you think you have won your argument, you are still retarded". Now to show everyone I am not immune from this retardation ... How come it is okay for Lefist politicians to insight violence. How come the mainstream media is NOT reporting what Democratic Michael Capuano has told his lemmings? Hypocrisy in action in the mainstream media.

Here is an idea, why don't they round up these murderers and imprison them. Oops they are already doing this and the Leftists were all upset and demanded that the murderers be freed. Heck the Leftist even invented a messiah who would be sent to us to save the world. This messiah promised he would close the facility where all these murderers were imprisoned within the first year of him taking power, and it worked. The lemmings flocked to the lies the messiah told them. Problem is, the messiah is a puppet. The messiah was created as this fictional savior of the world by the people of Hollywood (who are in the business of creating make believe La La worlds). When the real people who run the world told the messiah that there was no way they were letting these murderers go free, the messiah sulked back to his White House and then realized how lucky he was. Here he was, a man with nothing more than experience working as a community organizer who is all of a sudden tasked as this fake savior of the world. Yes nobody gives a better speech to the lemmings when his teleprompter works. But the messiah knows his nose keeps getting bigger and bigger every time his teleprompter is working. Want to solve the problem with these pirates? Start sinking their ships. Sure it will cause death and destruction. But it is better than the Liberal solution of promising things they damn well know they can not keep. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

The funny thing is, the republicans who remained passed a bill which says that if you're not present, you don't get paid. And of course, the Democrats were all absent, and unable to vote against it. So if they're going to run and hide to shirk their responsibility, then they ain't gettin' paid for it. Reminds me of what happened up here in Canuckistan a few years ago. The "Natural Governing Liberals" (who now sit in opposition thanks to being caught one too many times stealing money from the tax payers) stood up in the House of Commons proclaiming to anyone who would listen to them that the Conservative Government was the worst government in the history of humanity and how the Liberals would not stand for how the Conservatives were destroying Canada. But when push came to shove, when the Liberals had a chance to defeat the government and cause an election where were the Liberals? Well enough of them called in sick that day to allow the government to pass the bill on to the next step of it becoming law. So there they were, Liberals still yelling and screaming how the Conservatives were destroying the nation, but they were not voting the government down (even though they had the numbers to do it). The only difference is this law you speak of "not being paid if you are not at work" does not exist here. Why is it that politicians are paid for work they do not do. I would get fired if I didn't bother to show up for work. I guess after years of "I am entitled to my entitlements" mentality, politicians will still yell and scream telling the world anything. But when push comes to shove and the politician runs for cover when the gravy train called their career is on the line. Do as I say, not as I do.

Of course these students are Liberals. They tried to use the racist card simply because they disagreed with Mr Maschek's former profession. It's one thing to disagree with a war (I was on the fence back in '03 and by the time '04 rolled around it looked like '03 was a big mistake). But I didn't run around calling people in the armed forces racists. No I am sorry that tactic is reserved for Liberals. To think these students are not Liberals shows how out of touch some Liberals are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUybMMYmpxo Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I can't watch NASCAR on TV. It's just too much for me to take. But I do appreciate that it is not easy to drive fast on ovals. It's been more than a year since I last fired it up, but last year in www.iracing.com I did some virtual races at Martinsville, Bristol and Daytona (iRacing is one of the more realistic driving sims out there) and racing at Daytona was easy compared to Martinsville. But while I would not say racing was easy at Martinsville, it was a heck of a lot easier than Bristol. There is something about a banked short track oval. I can only imagine what it is like to race there in real life. NASCAR has gone gay ... LOL ... not that there is anything wrong with this. I think they started doing this tandem drafting a year or two ago, but obviously it became very popular at Dayton yesterday as all the hilights I saw on TV showed one car humping the other and no doubt it caused many of the crashes in the race. Of course the cars are faster doing this, so the drivers will take the risks and do it. But I am sure it is a heck of a lot easier to do at Daytona than it would be at Martinsville or Bristol.

Actually we are white, we are black, we are yellow, we are brown and yes even some greens. Heck many of these whites, blacks, yellows, browns and greens are turning grey hence the need to import more blacks, yellows and browns (funny not many whites are being imported) to help pay for the growing grey demographic with the nanny state pyramid scheme we have going here. Maybe Charlie Sheen would decriminalize weed and then marijuana could be included as a free trade commodity traded between these two (hopefully) great nations. People need to understand that a certain level of satire exists in this suggestion that Charlie Sheen become president. But there is a lot of insanity going on around the world and now is not the time for one nation or another to get all protectionist. Canada needs the USA to survive and while many Americans don't realize this, the USA is equally dependent on Canada. Of course the US could roll their military into Canada and take all of it's resources if it wanted to. But I think Charlie would need to sober up a little before he realized how easy it would be for the USA to conquer Canada. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Didn't watch the race (sorry I don't do NASCAR), but yes it is cool that a 20 year old won. Does this set a record in NASCAR? He beat Sebastian Vettel by one year as Vettel is the youngest person to win an F1 race. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Haven't had an ounce of anything to drink thank you very much. What am I not allowed to dislike the British Royal Family? I dislike that family almost as much as I dislike the Messiah Savior of the world just as I dislike GWB. But I really dislike the supporters of the "I am entitled to my entitlements" unionized government workers who feel they are entitled to jobs for life with huge pensions. In a crazy world such as the one we find ourselves living in, why can't a drug abusing, womanizer such as Charlie Sheen become president? After all a community organizer without a shred of leadership experience got the job. Clearly one does not need to have leadership experience to be president. One only needs Hollywood connections.

If you read the article you would have seen the satire in suggesting Charlie Sheen as being the president. He would be no worse than the current Hollywood created clown who occupies the job. Nor would he be any worse than the fool who preceded the Hollywood created president.

Are you upset again that I am criticizing your messiah (Hollywood created) president? Too bad, deal with it Mr ever so partisan Moderator. This is an international website and there are no rules stating who can and can not say things here. Maybe I would mind my own business, but your country and my country have a so called Free Trade agreement (Mexico is also included in this agreement). But your messiah (you know the Hollywood created president) is fucking around with this trade agreement. Do you expect us to sit back and let the community organizer fuck over your largest trading partner without saying anything? One day you might just end up waking up and realizing you have no more friends in this world. Liberal Canada already hates your guts. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

What do you think? Charlie Sheen for president? He can't be any worse than the last few clowns who have held the job. At least he wouldn't spend money he doesn't have. The current clown has added more debt to the USA than all the presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan did. And to make sure you know this isn't a partisan "The Democrats suck" thread, the clown who preceded the Messiah for the previous 8 years wasn't much better when it comes to spending money the USA doesn't have. http://www.calgarysun.com/comment/columnists/ian_robinson/2011/02/20/17344701.html Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

It's evil. It does not matter that it's a 22. The mere fact that it is black and looks like a killer makes you an automatic psycho child wannabee mass murderer. Won't anyone think of the children?

Yes at the Federal level spending cuts were made. But don't let the magic show fool you. These cuts were made on the backs of the provinces. All the previous Federal Government did was stop sending as much money to the provinces and since constitutionally the provinces are responsible for administering healthcare, education, infrastructure and welfare to their respective citizens, what did the provinces do? They had to cut services such as healhcare and now healthcare all across Canada is in deep trouble. So do not confuse Federal Spending with Provincial spending. Canada also has something called "Equalization" where the richer provinces support the poor provinces. Problem is, this creates a perpetual culture among the have-not provinces to never attempt to balance their books. They know that if all of a sudden they acted fiscally responsible, they will lose their equalization payments. It is like parents allowing their 20-30 year old child to live in their basement. There is no incentive for the 20-30 year old to support themselves when they know someone else will be supporting them. Nepotism is alive and thriving in Canada's have-not provinces.
