I didn't say ALL meat processing plants. I said one plant in particular, and the family places I've seen with my own eyes.

Well, I know at the Ontario Pork place they gas them, then punch a hole in their neck to kill them. I've also heard of other places that do indeed, do things in a much crueler manner. Personally, I don't find it unreasonable that we should at least kill them in a humane manner, or do you WANT...

Hey RecceGuy, news flash - my neighbours are chicken farmers. They also turkeys and the occasional pig. My best friend from when I was a kid ran a cattle farm. My brother works for Ontario Pork, and toured one of their plants, and told me all about it. I know for a fact my neighbours don't tie a...

If you're going to eat dolphins, eat dolphins, but tossing them into the back of a truck and letting them flip around hopelessly? Or tieing one to the back of a truck? I mean come on, kill the things, but be decent about it, kill them quickly and cleanly, as humanely as possible, then toss them...

No, if Canada pulls out, and NATO loses, and the Taliban retake control the people won't remember what it was like and they won't try for social reform. The reformists will be tortured and murdered en masse, and the people will remember the sight of Canadian C-130s lifting off into the air with...

Sadly, no. They went over to the machines and bought tickets. Manager didn't have a problem so long as they paid.

I don't have any kids, heck, I'm only 18. But, I do work at my town's movie theatre, and with our town growing so rapidly over the past years, we now have a generous population of gangsta-wannabes. And, working at the movie theatre, I happen to run into just about every single one of them. One...

I don't know if anyone's seen this already, but I got nothing in my search attempt, my buddy sent me a list of the videos and the website about it. Buddy here went ahead and built himself a 1:2.5 scale sherman. Not quite metal, and not quite combat effective, but pretty cool nontheless. Part 1...

First of all, I did a search, and didn't find anything quite relating to my specific situation. I presently attend the University of Guelph, I'm in first year. I did a short stint in the reserves (basically, BMQ/SQ and Stalwart Guardian in '05) and released soon after due to personal issues. I...

Here's another one, though it was pre-BMQ and not actually BMQ/SQ. We were in the SHARP class, there's 22 of us, the scenario is a member places pornographic images of women in the showers. Is this sexual harassment? Naturally, we all raise our hands. Well, 21 of us did. 1 person didn't...

First night at BMQ - Having our sergeant come to introduce himself and see my buddy unrolling a blue civie bag onto the cot. Sgt stands there for a second, then belts out 'What the f--- do you think you're doing?!' only to have buddy reply that he wasn't issued a sleeping bag. Then the rest of...

Regular side definately needs them first, my suggestions were simply a best case scenario in case reg got a new set of tanks + spares. I didn't fully think of all the maintenance requirements either. Scratch the reserve idea in that case, but I still like the CASR idea of an urban tank, provided...

Guelph to Milton, a little over an hour and a half.

I'm not by any means a tank expert, but I'll throw my own 2 cents in. I like the CASR idea of turning it into an urban fighter, we could maintain a dedicated urban warfare tank unit, with the rest of our heavy armour being new Leos (assuming we bought a full set of new tanks). Again, I'm not...

Good to hear this station is finally silenced, but I want to throw my own 2 cents into the debate. I do not believe IEDs to be cowardly weapons. The manner in which they are used to murder innocent men, women, and children is cowardly. The people who commit such actions are cowardly. However...

Yes, even clerks do BMQ, and SQ. My section commander on BMQ/SQ was a clerk, he was pinned down for four hours by croation troops. Even the non-combat arms people get shot at.

Just a random little rant my buddy showed me that I thought might brighten your day, http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/games/wargames.html

I'm a systems and computing student at U of G, and I've had a good interest in Robotics and unmanned systems for a couple years now (the reason I'm in this program). While I'm not by any means an expert, I don't think that in ten to twenty years it would be difficult to make a dedicated air...

I think we're all missing the main point here - WHY would you want to go from the army, to the air force?!?!?!?! Seriously though, I've looked into becoming a pilot myself, and it used to be what I wanted to do when I was younger. An army recruiter talking about the reserves at high school...

Looks like a good read, and ironically enough I saw it for sale at indigo last night and picked up a copy (hadn't heard about it then, but it looked good). I can't wait to read it.
