Wow,  leave it to another Jimmy to be a voice of calm and reason. I respect that I'm completely ignoring the subtle aspects of the situation - I should adjust my perception to fit with the best course of action; but I don't want to do that. :warstory: I read through their website when this...

Well here's the thing.  One is a complete liberty to stand up and voice dissent against the governments decisions/action and what have you.  One is even completely free to say that the CF is a group of human rights abusing barbarians that must be opposed.  That is actually well within protected...

If you do,  be sure to attach a copy of the criminal code sections that it breaks. Yes please do show us.  You know,  since this crime did happen to you,  you can go and make a formal complaint.  I don't know how harassed you feel, or how adversely this will affect you and your income...

do you mean the triservice badge? Like this http://www.biocrawler.com/w/images/3/3b/Canadian_Armed_Forces_Tri-service_badge.png but all golden?

I respectfully disagree.  I think they've done an incredibly dumb and insulting thing - which is clearly illegal.  However I think they did it out of a genuine belief in their cause. I think they find the idea of human death so abhorrent they just want it all to stop.  I've bunted heads with...

I'm sorry to keep going and finding laws, rules and other things to throw a stink up about this - but their actions are JUST SO out of line with acceptable behaviour I just keep slamming against how ignorant their actions are.  We have laws.  I respect that this group has strongly held...

Yes yes yes, I had a little fit of sideways anger.  (bad run in with a NDPer recently that I guess I didn't fully work though it.)  I want to dismiss this latest action as juvenile, however it does show they're capable of a level of action I didn't think they had before.  I know the kind of...

I just read this on here.  How did they get those addresses? (It does sound like it was sent to home addresses)  I don't think they're doing a blanket mailing, I think they know exactly where they're sending to.  (If I misread it,  let me know)  Not to make more of a deal about it than I should...

Yes don't you just HATE it when stories are told as though they actually happened?  I mean here is a story, or parable, that has a moral, but it simply isn't based on fact.   It is completely irresponsible for someone to go around repeating stories, however entertaining, in order to put forth a...

I hope I'm able to do all of CAP this summer. I kinda knew you had no reason to worry.  ;-)  Everyone I've seen I'd classify as a bad leader (officer and NCO) had one thing in common,  they didn't focus on actually being good at what they're doing, insted tending to their own concerns.  For...

(this is off on a bit of an aside) I don't know how it is in other regiments,  but (as a Jr Officer) I have never been in any doubt as to the opinions the Senior and non Senior NCOs have of me.  Not for one instant have I ever wondered "what does the Sgt think I should do this?"  (I'm...

It can be mitigated by being good at your job.  Yes,  I know many NCOs who insist that to be a good officer one needs to spend time in the ranks.  I've heard NCOs talk about an officer, in a not so nice way, then when they heard he was 'from the ranks' they suddenly wanted to give him another...

I learned a few kit related things on my course.  Some instructors will check and freak out if you have "inspection" set of stuff that you never use.  Simple solution,  blow off the dust (that was not a fun one to watch, for other people) If your soap is white, or a light colour (like most...

I had the same reaction.  I watched it,  expecting to be foaming at the mouth after 5 minutes. As soon as I saw this lady I thought "awe man,  another Ann Coulter wanta be.  In fact there is not one singe thing she said that I could disagree with, she was polite and even pulled a few punches to...

Respectfully,  I've been told 5 different "facts" by different people.  I don't think people intend to lie,  however sometimes they simply don't know the official standard and they just go by what they know (or think is right).  It is frustrating when as a recruit you're told completely...

I was told by my unit not to put a cap badge in because I'll earn it on course.  I get there and I get a minor jacking for not having it in.  Fair enough. About 6 days into the course the Sgt Major asked which unit I was in,  I said Comms.  He told me to get Signals slip ons. (I was also told to...

Direct Democracy ... good in small settings with informed voters... in larger settings .... Lets vote to change Mr. Day's first name to Doris.  Or even better lets vote over and over and over again on a single issue.  Why 40% of the population really hate something... Although I would support...

I did a good search on: http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-badges/canada.htm I didn't see it.  I'm curious now.  Are you sure it is Canadian?  nor do I see it: http://www.forces.gc.ca/admmat/dglepm/badges-insignia/cap_badges-metal_e.htm

SARS  Severe Asian Racism Syndrome?

I think Bell and telus are the only companys that don't use sim cards.  And I was just saying,  if a group has such a poor understanding of technology that they think anwsering a phone can cause you to bleed,  maybe we could do some really really obvious things to find out which cave they're...
