    All things Charlottesville (merged)

    Couldn't find a source either, but this was an interesting article that popped up on my feed today... http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/trump-asks-%e2%80%98what-about-the-alt-left%e2%80%99-here%e2%80%99s-an-answer/ar-AAqazaG?li=AAggNb9&ocid=iehp Trump Asks, ‘What About the Alt-Left?’...

    All things Charlottesville (merged)

    No, I'm saying the people he was hanging out with at the protest were.  And also, I didn't see any reports that labelled every Caucasian as a Nazi because of this one guy.  What I did see was that every Caucasian that was parading in the initial march was labelled as either that or a white...

    Really?  Because it happened at a white supremacist rally maybe?  A rally that EVERYONE knew was going to escalate into violence in some way shape or form by the way.

    You're giving him too much credit.  That was a stalling tactic as he tried to take control of the situation and have them ask the questions he wanted and avoided answering ones he didn't like.  Nothing more. But yeah, the rest I agree with. Now, as to your first para of the post, don't forget...

    So, those peaceful protests weren't really all that successful now, were they.  Or else the US wouldn't still be arguing about those exact same issues today. And you're right.  Two wrongs don't make a right.  But have you ever had to try and deal with disciplining several kids for different...

    Airline pilot lands safely after hail storm smashes all cockpit windows

    Yeah, I'd be marching my ass right into the MET office punch someone right in the face if that had happened to me.

    DEU - Women's Slack, Flat Front

    I know, right? Thankfully this new cut eliminates that.  They fit so much better than the pleated pants and are closer to the men's pants design, with a bit more material around the behind so you don't get plumber's crack when you bend over.  And they are meant to be worn with a belt. I...

    Airline pilot lands safely after hail storm smashes all cockpit windows

    My first thoughts are, what kind of situation was this guy in that he felt he had to fly into a storm in the first place?  ??? Call me a cynic...

    "Canadian Forces warns members affiliated with radical groups"

    This person posted it on FB. It's pretty ridiculous. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003540459790&hc_ref=ARQYW3YCil1oKt8MUBCGmBvUKL-VLjvxcvhWWJ-LXmXHay8wq4doO5fQeAZ8EVXI8Kg

    The Khadr Thread

    I'm guessing, but it's probably because that's around what Maher Arar got (although he was found not to be guilty of anything). Your first point is bang on and probably, if we all think deeply on it, why we are all so pissed off.  It's that our own government (really doesn't matter who is or...

    The Khadr Thread

    That right there. And it's unfortunate that this is not the first time that a government agency has put a person's rights on the back burner.  I also note that in that other case (which some may say is related because of Khadr's testimony, which was later deemed to be false in this case) the...

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    MCG  You're right.  I swung the pendulum to the other side.  I should have finished it off by pointing out the hypocrisy of that statement thus making my point why the previous one was just as bad.  The morale of the argument being that, if you're going to blame one, then be ready to blame the...

    And in reply to your PM because you decided to block me  ::) That's funny, because I heard the opposite. But who cares why they split?  Fact is, daddy doesn't seem to be trying to take care of his own boy because, what, he's got a grudge against mom? Anyway, when this first came out I wasn't...

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    Honestly, I didn't even address it because of the utterly sexist slide of your comments about the "what if's." And in my first post to this thread I had a nice little timeline that kind of explained why, in the three years from the time she joined to the time she was told to choose between her...

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    If old school is hanging on to sexist beliefs and putting the blame on the woman when there is a dad out there somewhere that also should take responsibility then, yes, you're old school. Break Break And to the earlier poster who mentioned that even the most robust family care plans can fall...

    Single mom now facing medical release from military

    I think part of the problem with the naiveté might be that we just aren't in the news the way we were when we were doing a combat mission in Afghanistan.  And so people quickly forget what it means to be in the military.  For the average Joe coming off the street they likely don't understand...
