  1. Yeah, he fought Keith Jardine. Good fight. Jardine was some bloodied. That Hamill can take a shot. The Dean was hitting him with some pretty good punches and he was hanging in there. Hamill won on decision, but Jardine did lose a point in the second round for an accidental eye poke.
  2. Sure it does. Each "anecdote" is a news story, backed-up with names and places, easily verifiable. Each one of those self-defense shooting incidents is one data point. And there are dozens or hundreds of them happening every day. Collectively, those data points become statistics. And what they show is that guns are quite often used in self defense in the hands of ordinary citizens. Professional studies have shown that such events happen as much as 2 million times per year. Simply anecdotes? Hardly. As for your other point, yes, guns can do either good or harm. So the question you should ask is, which occurs with greater frequency? Look up those anecdote-statistics, and you'll find that self-defense cases far outweigh incidents of children being shot in their own home by daddy's gun. And it's up to the parents to weigh the risks and rewards and decide if a gun is right for them, and what safeguards are necessary. I'm fully in favor of every law-abiding citizen having the right to make that choice for themselves. Sometimes tragedies happen, and we should work to educate people to reduce those. But taking guns away from everyone, leaving them defenseless against criminals, would be an even greater tragedy. Wow. I might not always agree with the pro gun (and I don't use that term in a negative way) has to say, but that post was very well said. Nicely done.
  3. You do realize that it doesn't matter what snopes or anyone says... They believe it because they want it to be true. They want it to be just another excuse to hate.
  4. Hey, cmon now....what are talking about here? CRW or some sort of fetish party??? ... .. Either way, I'm in...
  5. Actually, they didn't post it to Youtube, it was a local site and then it got linked to from there. Secondly, they weren't caught because they posted the video. Police had 2 of the 3 pegged as being involved before the video was posted. Finally, the reason I posted that is because you insisted that the people responsible for the violent protest were unemployed, students or living off the underground economy. You can't prove that. Not even remotely. When they list the professions of each one arrested, then you can make that claim. I was pointing out that 2/3rds of those who have been charged in a similiar act of 'activism' were none of those things you mentioned. In fact, one of them was part of the very group that you gave 'two thumbs up' to. Kinda wrecks your point, doesn't it...
  6. I'd be interested in seeing where you read that the vast majority of the violent protestors were unemployed youth. The reason I say that was that of the 3 people that they arresting in the firebombing of the bank in Ottawa, 2 of them were professionals (one was retired, the other was an ENGINEER (two thumbs up still??))
  7. He pretty much hates everybody in Canada, but the US doesn't want him and he doesn't have anywhere else to go. ...and anyone who doesn't agree with him is a liberal loving, pastry eating, latte drinking, commie-fascist... ...but that's why we love him!
  8. Don't worry, he hates everyone west of Alberta and east of Alberta. It's kind of his shtick. EVERY single person in Toronto is either a Marxist, Leftist, Communist, pinko, etc....all 2.2 million of them.
  9. I can remember more than a few loads at more than a few Herd Boogies where we'd just get wheels up and Scotty Carbone would open the door, whip his legs out and just sit there. It would drive the rest of the people on the load nuts!! I used to burst out laughing... ...probably didn't help the situation much, did I?...
  10. it seems that you are saying that you only have morals if you are a left leaner. "It's right if that is what you believe" Is it? I guess I don't know anymore...this place confuses me!! I'm starting to sound like Master Po from "Kung Fu"
  11. Best night CRW memory... Canadian Nationals 1996. We were competing in 4 way rotations. We went to do a night jump out of the Caravan and slammed it together very quickly. Just like SkyPuppy says...almost as bright as day - especially with the full moon at our back. We decided to start yelling out our "INCOMING" and "GO" even though we were just flying around in our original 4 stack. We got to the ground and they could hear us. They thought we were bad-ass doing night rotations!!

  13. Using that as a standard we should also blame Obama for the financial mess. Of course we both know neither is true. . . . and why did Obama let the oil spill happen? Let me take a stab at this one.... because he's a black Muslim and he hates America? Wow - you really go off topic even when the answer is in the text you quoted. It was rhetorical, but hey, if that is your guess, I suppose you have a right to your opinion. So that wasn't the right answer....darn. Maybe I'll get it right next time...

  15. So typical... Tell me...what was the context of what he was saying? What did he say immediately after that quote?
  16. Don't you blaspheme in here.....Don't You BLASPHEME in Here..
  17. Now that the Stanley Cup is over and I'm watching the World Cup, it makes me realize the thing I like best about hockey... ...it ain't soccer!!
  18. thanks for introducing yoruself as a moron, so I will know you in teh future! Got anything adult to say about what they found? So let me get this straight. You think that what this represents is the US government funding the Mexican drug cartels to invade the US so that martial law can be declared? Does that about sum it? PS. A fraction of some investigation on your part would quickly blow huge holes in this raving lunatics story... But you wouldn't want to do that. Clearly you want what he says to be true so that gives you one more reason to hate the scary black man in the White House. Oh yeah .... no YOU'RE the moron. Take that!!
  19. I couldn't find the link off that site for making your own tin foil hat...
  20. ...and the internet is filled with GBs of photos of hetro couples doing all these things as well... Gross? Yes Exclusive to homosexuals? Absurd
  21. Not sure about the whole staff, but Kirk Muller strikes me as a great assistant coach. Just watch when he talks on the bench. Those players are just riveted to what he has to say. He's always the one planning out the plays at the end of game when they call time-outs. No doubt he will be head coach very, very soon.
  22. I didn't really see anywhere in the video where it talks about global warming. It just seems that now they can see the activity on the sun in detail that was not available before.
