Never said I wouldn't wear my kilt with the jersey...  >:D  Never have been one to conform.  All hail the SKLF!!  (Scottish Kilt Liberation Front)  Well, the pipes, the pipes are calling.  Might support the soccer team, but they'll never remove my kilt.  Unless I've been drinking...  ;) T

Beat me to it...  I won't get rid of my Cambridge U soccer jersey though...  :) T

Grrr...  They aren't irrelevent.  You just choose to look at them through your "Infanteer" lenses.  If the study doesn't mold to your beliefs, you poo-poo it.  You had issues with me lumping all of the handgun deaths together, I did that to be unbiased, as if I just used them within the scope of...

Frankly, I got tired of banging my head on a wall.  You've got your study, which you believe, and I have mine, which I believe.  We aren't going to find a common ground, I don't think.  I respect your arguments and what you've written, but nothing's convinced me.  One can only play devil's...

Perhaps you should read it again, Tom.  IN cases of aggression, it's only valid if: (a) he uses the force   (i) under reasonable apprehension of death or grievous bodily harm from the violence of the person whom he has assaulted or provoked, and   (ii) in the belief, on reasonable grounds...

Still the oil...  Why is it always the oil???  So, the Americans are better off by having the majority of their military either on alert or in theatre, using up all that oil that the military machine needs, and doing so at $53 dollars a barrel?  Given the cost of this war for them so far, they...

With all of this, I do have to offer a Kudos to the people at CIC.  Looks like they got one right.  What does worry me is the cost of all this, and the length of time his appeal may take.  I wonder if a response like this from CIC (punting him out) will do anything for CDN-US relations? T

I went back through the threads, and couldn't actually find the question.  Please re-ask. According to the Canadian Centre for Justice Studies, legally owned firearms were involved in 21.5% of all murders in Ontario over a 30 year period.  67% was committed through other means (beatings...

Maybe it was just you...  I sent one offering to help him get there as well.  ;D T

Hehe...  Calculated risk, I suppose...  :)  We could start a whole new thread on driving and licensing, but I'd imagine we'd spend too much time agreeing with each other.  ;) T

And, click report to Mods.   One of those examples that should have gone to PM, wouldn't you say? T

Infanteer, Caesar, rw4th, et al: We seem to be having a few running debates here, and we're starting to go in circles.  Now, in order to have a proper debate, we must first define the terms, as it were.  It seems fairly obvious that Infanteer and rw4th believe that the law should be changed to...

Isn't freedom itself a philosophical belief?  How does not allowing you to carry a concealed firearm infringe upon your rights? T

Your posts are a perfect example of why more schooling is required.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, thanks for proving the point. T

Now that's what I call living by the lowest common denominator...  Do you currently work for a union, by chance?  ::) T

What bothers me the most is that wonderful appeal (and the original refugee claim) will most likely fall on the Canadian Taxpayer to boot...  fantastic. T

They must have access to different studies...  ;) T

How so?  I agree with the second sentence, but not the first... T

And yet, by that study, it shows Japan with very few firearms and an extremely low muder rate.  That study supports both sides, not just the one that yourself and rw4th have taken.  If the study upholds your belief that armed citizens are less likely to be victims of armed crime, would Japan...

And it's exactly that kind of thinking that they don't want, I'd imagine.  If you don't take education seriously in your private life, how can they be assured you'll take it seriously when (if) you get in?  Hmmm... T
