Clinton

The Hillary-haters REALLY hate her, but the depth of their hatred still only amounts to one vote, so I'm not so sure.

Yes, but who do you think will win?

Does it make any difference? They're all crooks and liars and thieves. The purpose of this thread is purely politics as a spectator sport. But, since I cannot avoid the bait, do you think the results of the 2000 presidential election made no difference as to the path the world has taken these last seven years?

Not who you are hoping for but who you seriously think is going to win.

Be very careful you have correctly identified your target before shooting. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/071122/koddities/oddity_cow_or_coyote

DAMN! i remember when it was like that here; it was sure great. Today's high was -17.

Just work on being a better skydiver at this point. The biggest challenge for most new coaches and instructors is to be able to devote enough of their attention to the student/novice while they are themselves skydiving.

So we need a democrat who's not as bright as Hillery or a Republican whos brighter than Bush in order to bring the country together.

Are you also a Cubs fan?

Well not quite Wikipedia lists Los Angeles/Long Beach/Santa Ana urban agglomeration as just under 13,000,000; Canada has about 32,000,000.

Think of the draft picks, if they don't get shot. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/071126/sports/amfoot_nfl_redskins_taylor_shooting

Canada is not a Metropolitan area. This recent one was in Chilliwack, a city about 100km from Vancouver. The other one happened in Nova Scotia, about 7000km from Vancouver.

Kwai Chang Kane should be the model for us all.

I haven't been to Spain for years, perhaps I should go. Where do you recommend?

I think it will draw a new distinction between light and heavy infantry. Remember that the soldier does have the option to abandon a piece of equipment whereas he does not have the same option for damaged body parts.

I thought you needed a follicle to provide a DNA sample.

No less effective than a soldier who gets his knee shot out.

I think it depends how it is implemented. If, for example immigration announced that they would take a DNA sample of every illegal they catch, the population would heartily approve. Of course DNA samples to the FBI for all convicted felons goes without saying; it's really no different than fingerprints. I have never been arrested for anything in any country, but my fingerprints are on file in Canada (for a security clearance that I no longer need), and in the US (just because the agent decided I deserved a closer look one day). Of course the Americans only have my index fingers. Next year that border crossing (Toronto International Airport) will get facilities to take all ten. The jump to taking a hair sample is not a big one. The list of jobs requiring a sample (teacher, boy scout leader, soccer coach,...) will slowly grow until eventually the public is so used to it they acquiesce.

With the Redskins loss they cannot catch the Cowboys. They just suck.

I skydived for about 12 years without an AAD. After I bought one I jumped without one while mine was at the factory without a second thought. That said I don't understand why you wouldn't have one. An AAD is a reliable back-up system that is available, so you should get one if you are going to take part in this dangerous activity. About nine years ago I was at the PIA symposium when they were honouring the inventor of the Cypres, the first electronic AAD, the one that the community decided was reliable and accurate enough for general use. During the introduction of the guest speaker the introducer asked the crowd of close to 1000 of the most senior senior movers and shakers in all aspects of the industry, who had a Cypres in their rig. A large majority of the room raised their hand. He then asked who had had their life saved by a cypres; no raised their hand. Then he asked who knew someone who had been saved by a Cypres; as far as I could tell every single person in the room raised their hand. You are not good enough to be invulnerable enough to not need an AAD, and neither am I. Why you would choose not to own one I cannot understand.

If there is a legitimate purpose for the slaughter that's fine. Putting a trophy on your wall is not, to my way of thinking a legitimate reason; for the pure joy of killing something even less so.

So people who work in slaughterhouses to stock our grocery stores with fresh meats are possibly sociopaths? Or would it be okay as long as they didn't call it "hunting"? Correct. They are doing a job. It is possible that there may be one or two sickos in that industry that do it because they get off on killing, but I am sure the majority of slaughterhouse workers do not put stuffed longhorns on their den wall. Finding your prey is an integral part of hunting. If you already have the beast in your possession it is not hunting; it is farming.

You never use those stupid water tight doors any way.

Go for a family movie: The Godfather.
