You poor, guy..... growing up in a country where everything happens the wrong way.... toilets flushing in the wrong direction, and seasons happening opposite to the way they are supposed to... the platypus.... I know you were trying to be sarcastic.... but I can see through your facade...

Is it possible that this is in response to some of the appearance of some of the younger crowd who work at NDHQ and wear pants with enough fabric to sail the HMCS Toronto on wind power? You know, the people who should be in shape, but aren't. The people who everyone else see's when they are...

A cut from a paper by the same man.... It's long, but I think it drives home the point. Be warned: It's not pleasant, and if you have a weak constitution, you may wish to skip this particular post. In 1983, the electrocution of John Evans in Alabama was described by an eyewitness as follows...

Opposition to the death penalty does not arise from misplaced sympathy for convicted murderers. On the contrary, murder demonstrates a lack of respect for human life. For this very reason, murder is abhorrent, and any policy of state-authorized killings is immoral. Capital punishment denies...

  I'd be tempted to say that you've convinced me, as your argument seems to be pretty solid, and I can understand why you and others may be able to justify your opinons regarding this particular issue. And your confusion as to why I oppose your point of view is understandable in light of your...

http://www.army-guide.com/eng/article/article.php?forumID=317 Why haven't we purchased any of these things?

I wasn't, otherwise I wouldn't have posted in the first place. I think the RG-31 is a good idea.

yup.

It's not feasible because the Canadian public would create an uproar, and opposition to a plan that includes purchases of this magnitude would be impossible for our Parlimentary "leaders" to ignore. It would be the EH-101 all over again. Could you imagine what would happen if we purchased M1's...

The major issue I have with our electoral system, is that many formerly-rural ridings have since been conjoined with urban centres, and now no matter how many of the rural residents vote, they are always vastly outnumbered but the urban voters. I know my old riding was staunchly conservative...

Personally, I see the ruling as a non-issue. As soon as people begin engaging in public acts of group sex, and partner-swapping (I know that it's not 'technically' public, but lets face it, anyone can go to those 'private' clubs) then the moral fibre had already decayed to the levels of the...

I never said it was acceptable to kill civilians.... but it does happen. I'm pretty sure that efforts are made to avoid the mass killing of civilians. But you are comparing apples and oranges; the intentional execution of a criminal, and the accidental death of a civilian in a warzone are...

Not what I meant, I was referring to the killing of terrorists/badguys by the military, while engaged in conflict. I think that in that case it would be justified, no? And yes, they *might* be innocent.... and until we come up with a foolproof method of determining, definitively the guilt or...

Is it the same sort-of deal for NCM's?

While it's not feasible, nor strictly necessary, to buy the equipment you mentioned above, I fail to see why even purchases like that should be argued against. Buying some new tanks, instead of the MGS, and some Apaches, and maybe a few nuclear subs, with an aircraft carrier wouldn't be seen as...

DNA evidence is not the be all and end all of the justice system, and I don't think that the argument of "the chances are pretty slim we'll kill an innocent man" holds water unless those chances are 100%. Until we gain the power to grant life to those who deserve it, we should not execise the...

Did you ever go to a different eye doctor before you had your surgery? Maybe they can give your pre-op test results?

In your opinon, what are his chances of getting in?

As far as pilots having laser-eye surgery, they do not, generally speaking, get LASIK. Instead they get PRK.

If it doesn't hurt, don't worry about it... sometimes joints just do that. When I do military presses, the exact same thing happens, been like that for years, and I'm fine. If it starts to hurt, worry... and see your doc.
