  Yes, I really think in this case the problem was that 'the system' failed the guy (and eventually society). Gun control was not the central issue here, IMHO, getting access to mental health care and/or forcing the individual to take that care, even if it meant institutionalization was...

Perhaps I'm being a bit misinterpreted here. Like I said I have no problem with law abiding people having guns. I'm law abiding and I have guns. Respectfully, I did say ' I mean the right to bear arms for a sensible and stable person seems okay '. I think in certain societies people carrying...

Banning hand guns doesn't even work here. How would it work in the States? The Virginia Tech incident is at the front of the issue now... It seems to me that if the court he appeared in front of had of had the presence of mind to say "you are a potential menace to yourself and others.. so no...

Help me with this. My understanding is the full time member gets all health services from the CF. The primary deliverer is CFMS. If care comes from the civilian hospital CF pays, not (for instance) OHIP. How does this apply to families? Say, Little Becky needs a doctor, does she report to...

There's a couple of ways to look at it. When one salutes one renders compliments to the Crown. When the Commissioned member returns the compliment and says 'thank you' the member is responding on behalf of the Crown, not on behalf of his/her self. I think the compliment is one of those...

I fully agree with 9D's hypothesis that this is another manifestation of "just add Indian". The Gurkha's are magnificient, but they are mercs. I think that RangerRay's point on NZ is well taken. NZ has something to show us on this. They (the Kiwis) got there in an entirely different way...

Signalman-150 LMAO On a serious note though, sometime ago the 'Native Protestors' thread got mangled into a 'How to empower Aboriginals thread.' I noted that urban reserves would be a good idea. (IMHO) Several Aboriginal members of the board indicated to me that that would not be a good...

Quag: WRT to your last; ref para alfa : guidance is "Major____" ref para bravo : PM inbound, wait over.

Interesting twist on an old thread. Going to Brihard's comment on having a 2Lt on a BMQ course. And extrapolating it a tad... This has become problematic now that OR and Offr BMQ types are getting mixed up on these courses. Just to be a bugger, what would the consensus be on how an (Instr)...

:rofl:

<cynical_joke_post> I was thinking, just sitting here with my beer and popcorn (all due to the fact that my tax cheque is in and the transit rebate and child care rebate netted me some cash in the deal) that really it's not Mr Harper's fault at all that the three other leaders are all snafu'ed...

'You have no idea how difficult it is to set priorities' M Dion's obvious intelligence is wanting for some leadership skills methinks. Sadly the Liberals have chosen to make a political issue out of this and left themselves wide open to the PM's well justified 'zinger'. The Liberals have...

It's probably hard to generalize, Yes it is, but here goes but do the older guys get any grief from younger recruits/instructors? Sure, but so do younger guys. If you mean are they picked on because they are older, No, not if people are doing their job. Age is irrelevant, fitness, ability to...

Actually Olga, that would be impossible - given the dozens of UN Security Council Resolutions (any of which could have been vetoed by the Per manant Members) on the subject - The blueprint, the Bonn Agreement is a creature of the EU. - That NATO's involvement needs the unanimous assent of the...

Sigh. Perhaps if the topic continues to spiral it should be locked. Much thanks to Spirit of the Sixties for the 'hard left rudder' >:(

Like many of us I think I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the much of the attitude that prevails in this country with regard to international affairs. I find the attitude 'at large' to often fall into three categories in this country. 'It's not winnable and it's Bush's war Why are we...
