Most likely you'll get NRE - No Religious Expression. Oh, If you have to guess you've not been hanging out in the politics forum or reading my custom signature... :)

And if you ever really, really needed to know the name of a porn star Lou was your guy!  :rofl:

Yup, Yup, Yup.

If you care what the guy said, don't vote for him.  I applaud him for speaking his mind. I applaud him for being unambiguous in his views.  I applaud him for telling it like he thinks it is so that I can decide based on his real, honest and true feelings on the subject whether I will ever vote...

Brits were quite segregationist in the Colonies in India and Africa though.

Have you actually read any of what I've posted here?  The constitution act of 1982 is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It has nothing to do with the subject of your angst.  As I've already pointed out the real document referred to in the Newfoundland Act of 1949 was the British...

I called no one names.

the NL Act refers directly to the Constitution Act of 1867 or if you prefer The British North America Act.  that is the document that breaks down who "owns" what, and that was the source of Proud_Newfoundlander's bitching.

there are two things you need to do in my opinion.  1. Blame the people who signed a bad deal, not the ones that negotiated a good one in their self-interest.  By the way how do you think that a foreign country would have treated NL any better?  :rofl: 2. Learn the Constitution.  For crying...

Location, Location, Location. The monumnet isn't nearly as prominent as the National Monumnet and it would be easy for cowards and vandals like the criminals responsible for this act to sneak about like the vermin they are and childishly scrawl their 'message'

Homosexuality was still a condition for which you could be removed from service in the CF right up till 1991.  Perhaps all of us Neanderthals that served at that time as well as all those in government should publicly apologize for our implicit support of that directive. Was it wrong of him to...

Where I live has nothing to do with it.  If Alberta's oil had been off shore they would not have had ownership of it.  Youkon, NWT and Nunavut will not "own" any of the vast oil and gas reserves located under the arctic ocean, the stuff under dry land is theirs except for the fact that...

So far so good. Oops, now it's off into la-la land.  The agreement under which NL joined Confederation is a little thing now called the Constitution act of 1867.  This document is very stodgy and dry, there's not a whole lot of interesting verbiage in it like the US Constitution, not any...

I agree with living within society (which is really just a collection of individuals) but there are so, so many things about society that are anything but 'greater' than what I can/do/will teach my kids regardless of what society demands or holds as a norm.

Brain fart, You're right I was wrong. 18 it is.

I'm also a firm believer that under certain circumstances stupidity should be as painful as necessary.  :rules:

But really 18 isn't some sort of majic number society has agred to.  14 (or is it 16) is the legal age of consent. 18 is the legal age to drink in Quebec but it's 19 everywhere else. At 16 a child can apply to the courts to become emancapated (an adult) and you must be 18 to vote.

I'd bring it up to the individual if I found it on my own.  As one Cpl or whatever to another if I shared his rank and in one of those scary one way conversations if I were not.  After all, who hasn't done something really really stupid in their lifetime?

For what seems like the millionth time I am not trying to tell anyone what to do, only to tell what I have done. I have 2 children.   When I moved to Ottawa from Pet the closest High School to my new home was a Catholic School.  I asked my eldest if she wanted to go to that school, she agreed...

I never said it was the wrong path.  No problem, crap happens.
