    I GOT A CALL FOR the NOAB" Threads

    Oh wow, your foot is lodged really, really far in your mouth on this one.

    Dress rules established for transsexuals in military

    - I'm accepting of homosexuality. Who you choose to have a relationship with on your own time is none of my business, and doesn't affect me in any way. - I'm tolerant of trans-sexuality. If you really feel that nature gave you the wrong toolbox, by all means, go all out and live your life as the...

    Universal high-speed internet essential: Liberals

    I find it rather ironic that you chose to highlight the phrases "Believe" and "Faith" when describing a functioning system of governance in many countries, while at the same time praising the theoretical benefits of a system which does not exist outside of a Utopian libertarian fantasy.

    I assume he is a practicing member of the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    red ring of death..

    In my experience, the only real difference between the two in terms of failures is the color of the error lights they give you. Both of the first-generation offerings were shoddy.

    M72 found along highway in BC

    It could be worse. Many people around my neighborhood solely read the University of Victoria's student newspaper.  It makes the Cowichan News Leader look like the New York Times. More from the Martlet (If you dare, it gets far more childish) here. This is apparently a legitimate source of...

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    I saw this a few times when I started making friends from states with mandatory Full-Service gas-stations. It's a bizarro feeling.

    But that's for another topic.  ;)

    US midterms: Republicans win

    See, this is the problem with American politics. Both sides talk about what the problem is, and how the other party didn't solve it. I'd love to see an election won on the basis of an actual idea for a change.

    Honours & Awards (merged)

    If it was, I would've heard about it on CBC. As it stands, I'm inclined to believe you've gone loopy.  ;)

    US midterms: Republicans win

    The Republicans successfully implemented the well-documented political strategy of "Sit around and blow raspberries at the opposition when they want to do something." Americans responded favorably.

    Universal high-speed internet essential: Liberals

    Communications systems, like utilities, lend themselves very poorly to a free market system unless there is already a substantial neutral infrastructure available. We saw the same thing with Cable television. The only place there is any real competition or investment is in major urban...

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    Wow, Kratos. If you think he'll get more out of heavy barbell training, say so, then go tell him to do Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5.  They're not some big secret. Don't sit here and dance around the subject because you like to hear yourself talk.

    p90x to make BMQ PT a bit easier. Good/Bad Idea.

    In my experience, any proper exercise program which a person actually follows through and completes, without quitting, modifying, or only partially attempting, will have a positive effect on their life. I would encourage you to focus more on completing a program, than trying to find the best...

    Interesting Article about Army Strength

    Actually, this raises a question. Is there any chance that the CF keeps records of statistics like this (And any chance they would release it to the public)? Data on non-identifiable vital statistics would actually be very interesting to see. How big IS the average soldier? What are the...

    The Capital Punishment Debate

    Again, back to the issue. We know it is a "slam dunk", but why? What set of legal guidelines can you put in place which can be followed in a future case? We can't exactly have a person's life sitting in the court of public opinion. That's fundamentally opposed to the purpose of the justice system.

    The Capital Punishment Debate

    The big issue with this, is how do you turn that into a set of legal guidelines which govern when you can execute someone? "We all know they did it." cant, and shouldn't fly in any court in Canada. The most legal certainty you can achieve in a case like this is a conviction by a jury, which has...

    The Capital Punishment Debate

    Ignoring the fact that we can (and do) keep prisoners incarcerated indefinitely, I don't know why you would skip straight to the death penalty without at least giving mention to the obvious step of legislating a true life - no parole sentence.
