    U.S. Military Deserters in Canada Megathread

    I agree, this person did make a rather informed statement, but what I meant was that a heated argument on a subject as controversial as this generally spirals down into the abyss of personal insults and high-running emotions. I have zero problem with someone posting their opinion, but from what...

    I predict your time on this site will be rather short.

    CBC's The Border

    My official rating for this show: 5/10. A solid "Meh." Blatant anti-Americanism (to be expected from the CBC.) The American agent is made out to be the uncompromising, rude, and never calm and collected, unlike Mr. Canada, who is all fluffy bunnies, Skittles, and rainbows. Mr. Canada also saves...

    Firearms training

    If you find that you're not getting enough practice with your issued weapon, you should definitely consider the AR-15 option. With a few inexpensive modifications it will basically be a C7 (although semi-automatic.) In fact, if you get a 20"-barreled AR-15 (such as this,) you probably won't be...

    20 Jan 2008: Hwy. 400 closed after 50-car crash in Bradford, Ont.

    No big pileups, but I'd have to say that Richmond, BC is the worst place to drive in the history of the automobile. At times it seems like 1/3 of the people on the road bought their license. No one knows what a turn signal is, let alone what a speed limit sign is supposed to mean. When you're...

    Your new timetable, kids: double maths, English and a spot of shooting

    I would've dropped Biology in a heartbeat for that.  :o Using her logic, showing a kid how to chop vegetables is akin to teaching them how to effectively slit one's throat.

    *Server Is Under High Stress*

    It has been a bit slow lately over in BC, but my internet provider sucks anyways... so it's probably their fault.

    London teen dedicated to peace

    Classic ultralib behavior. Don't actually bring anything to the table or say anything of meaning; just try to discredit your opponent.

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    I didn't say anything about Nazism. I simply said that dictatorships often take away the people's means of defense, and gave an example. I said nothing of Nazi ideology.

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Couldn't have said it better myself. An armed populace is the only thing protecting us from a police state. If a government passes a law that the people do not agree with, and the people have no recourse, what are the people to do? The only answer is to remove the problem at its source. This is...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    The background checks are apparently very thorough. I have heard from one person that has gone through it that even your neighbors are called and asked if they feel comfortable with you owning a firearm (I am not sure if this actually happens.) A test is already required to get a firearms...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    In the U.S., they have laws that allow citizens to carry a concealed weapon for their safety if they pass a training course. In Canada, they have a smiliar license to carry a weapon, but it is NEVER issued to "common folk."

    Idiots with handguns and the idiots who report on them

    Reading gun pieces in the news is painful.

    PC beats Second World War British computer in cracking Nazi code

    No surprise here. A 1999-era Gameboy has more power than the Apollo landing craft. Pitting a vacuum-tube computer against a modern, dual core computer capable of making billions of calculations per second isn't really a fair competition. But, it is pretty interesting nonetheless.
