    Can't you just hear their knees jerking?

    I agree and it's a moot point anyway. The virus hit many communities well before the vaccination was available. Now, we've had months and months of all manner of health department communiques persuading us to take the vaccine; last Friday we were being told the vaccine was finally available but...

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Redeye, you are correct-too much assumption and emotion on my part before the facts have been established. I guess I should offer my point of view as early conjecture only... -Hope they get to the bottom of it.

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Condolences to all ....  :'( I think, this was an inexcusable act of jihad--nothing more-nothing less--T6 nailed it when he said the guy was radicalized. Take up the enemies insufferable training manuals and read them page by bloody page, then you see that the tentacles of evil fatwas distort...

    Qaddafi tells Canadians that they're not welcome in Libya

    If it wasn't for the fact that Canadians there now might be in danger, I'd be having a good laugh. What kind of a threat is that?? ::) Big deal. Not many Canadians consider Libya a desireable holiday hot spot!!  Gosh, golly, I'll have to go to Somalia or Darfur for holidays now!!! Maybe one of...

    A Soldier First: Bullets, Bureaucrats and the Politics of War

    I'm on page 170 and was up most of the night reading. I went to a popular bookstore downtown Guelph to purchase the book (wanted it right away so didn't end up ordering it) and wanted to relate this short account of what I call "the Hillier effect": **** Me: "Do you have the new Rick Hillier...

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    Yrys, you are entitled to your opinion that is the Canadian way and I respect you for it. As an employer, I would want to know this information so I could accommodate someone with a different orientation. I would want to be able to ensure their needs were being met and that they would not be...

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    While it's true that "trans people may not be recognizable," I would think, if they were applying to the Canadian Forces, or in fact any employer, it would be in their best interest to immediately self-identify. It would be fool-hardy not to do so--regardless of where they were applying for a job.

    Transgender in the CF (merged)

    I think this is a question that extends beyond the Canadian Forces to all of Canadian society and laws--which the CF reflects. This is still a bit of a gray area with regard to the practical versus the theoretical in society. It is being "pioneered" (a term I borrow from Loachman from a...

    Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

    Maybe now that these cases are being successfully prosecuted more details will emerge about the plot.
