    Painting to Afghanistan

    Chris Hennebery, of the Royal Westminster Regiment is working on a series of paintings about the war in Afghanistan. He is raising funds to travel there so he can finish his work. Rather than trying to paraphrase I will let you read it yourself. http://www.paintingtoafghanistan.com/...

    20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

    I'm only going with the information that I have which, admittedly isn't a whole lot more than what is available in popular culture and the news media. That is why I am unsure if my conclusion is valid or not. Perhaps my error is in viewing the end of WW II and the rise and fall of Communism in...

    20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

    That's a pretty big stretch and a cheap shot. The official date of reunification is Oct 3rd. Like I prefaced my original post, I may be the only one that thinks this, but like you say in your signature it is my right to have my opinion.

    20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

    You don't have to agree with me but it's not that hard to figure out what I am saying. Germany was at war with the world. The world put a stop to that war and the country was divided and occupied by four allies. The occupiers didn't see eye to eye and three became enemies with one. One of...

    20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

    I might be the only one who thinks this but to me all the celebration around the fall of the Berlin Wall seems akin to celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the release of a criminal simply because he had a cruel jailor.

    I think these colours are terrible. The old look was way better.

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    If you are just leaving it in the mailbox they will probably never see it. It's not like a rural mailbox where they are looking for outgoing mail. Drop it in the mailbox on the street corner or if you have a StupidMailbox in the outgoing slot, and it will go away and never come back (at least...

    'Little Mosque on the Prairie' = big laughs? (CNN News)

    I was talking about another sitcom set in Saskatchewan that has just as unlikely a story as Little Mosque n the Prairie. I guess I need to spell it out for you. ;) Little Mosque on the Prairie is just as realistic as Corner Gas but Corner Gas doesn't seem to get as much critisism. For that...

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    In my case the only dealing I had with the people at the postal outlet (7-11 in this case) was to give them the card number and take my package home. It was the main post office that I went to and had no luck finding the package. If your package was sent priority post it is a guaranteed...

    Canada Post Woes (merged)

    I had a parcel come at just before Christmas and nobody at the post office could tell me where it was. I even wwent to the main post office here and had someone search through the whole place to find it. I phoned the toll free number and they said that it had been dropped off at the post office...
