Would love to see that statement supported with evidence. Without trying for more than ten seconds: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/080410/canada/vancouver_bc_townhall_meeting_questions

I am tired of hearing about the sanctity of various religious houses. I don't care whether it is a church, temple, mosque, gurdwara or sweat lodge. The laws of the land trump. Personally I don't see a problem with polygamy, but what we are talking about here is child abuse. The state has a long history of erring on the side of protection for possible victims in such cases. Are there cases of these errors creating innocent victims? Yep, but there are more cases of inaction having worse consequences.

I think you can camp at Skydive Kenya.

I was in a Russian restaurant in Vancouver a few years ago where we ordered something like "Agricultural district No 32." (holds 1L carafe over his head) "Oh waiter, could I get another jar of vodka, this one doesn't work any more."

Condoleeza Rice as Possible VP Candidate
Andrewwhyte replied to masterblaster72's topic in Speakers Corner
Daughter of a share cropper makes faculty of Stanford by age twenty-five, a stint in dept of state under Reagan, NSA and Sec of State under Bush. What a loser. BTW I think this is the press being bored or maybe the GOP ops trying to keep their side in the news while the Dems fight it out. Rice is not running for office. -

There's actually two versions of the show. "Just for Laughs" is usually short stand up routines from various comedy festivals around the country. "Just for Laughs-Gags" is the skit-with-an-unsuspecting-victim show you guys are describing.

You could line the swoop course with fainting goats; whoever knocks the most down wins the distance contest.

You just had to go there didn't you?

You need to prepare for unusual situations in skydiving and prepare well. I would not say however, that you should expect problems. You should expect that your training and positive attitude will give you the skills to avoid most problems and to deal with any that arise. Expect that your jump will go exactly like you dirt dive it; when you find it going sideway you can smoothly move it back on track. Skydiving is way better when you approach it with a positive attitude. Prepare for the worst, expect the best. Have fun.

Skool ATTACKS not just confined to the good ole USA anymore!
Andrewwhyte replied to dannydan's topic in Speakers Corner
Random violence has never been a monopoly of the US. I does however suffer from a higher rate, a higher intensity level (cultural prominence of guns) and a much more aggressive reporting of it. The US media seems to wallow in incidents like this for longer than in most other places; this is also IMO due to the overall size of the American infotainment industry. That said the Canadian media has not been shy about earning a living off a couple of incidents for decades at a time. -
Excerpts from Ron Paul's new book The Revolution:

Wow, only took 14 posts for you guys to abandon the topic altogether and start spitting at each other. The rest of us really appreciate that. -
My concern is not for the animals, but for the hunter. Killing for the sake, no, the joy of it in itself indicates a flaw in the character of the perpetrator.

Good thing Nixon was in the mix to keep the standards up.

You didn't pay them. That's the point.

YES

Indeed. It's amazing how some forget Tiananmen Square or that Tibet was once an independent country. The good news is that with the pressure on these issues, the commercial sponsors with these events will have to weigh very carefully their recognizable involvement with the games. I think as the torch proceeds, some sponsors will step back. So was Nixon wrong? Should we not be engaged with China at all? Does it make sense to make peace with those we have issues with only to bring them up every time they present us with the opportunity?

True dat. Canadian is no better. But someone buys the stuff.

They're welcome to offend anyone they want. They're also welcome to suffer the consequences from that offense. As a business, trying to sell a product, they should try not to offend large quantities of their customers, like 300 million Americans. They made a bad business choice, and now they're correcting it. Well Molson Canadian Beer ads have been making fun of Americans for years. The Molson-Coors merger has not lead to an abatement of the ridicule, so add Coors to your boycott list; unpatriotic bastards! Come to think of it aren't they in bed with Miller? Stop buying that too.

So I went and downloaded Demeter and I really like it except it doesn't play with Yahoo mail beta. Too bad.

The whole point of the Olympics is to put the politics aside and participate. I knew a guy who had a shrine to his athletic achievements of his youth in his basement. The centrepiece was a certificate naming him to the 1980 Canadian Olympic track team; not going to the Olympics will be a regret he will never completely recover from. Everyone who won a medal at the '84 games in LA knows they are cheapened because the east block didn't come. Leave the politics out of the games.

Another victory for political correctness. NEVER OFFEND ANYONE EVER!!!
