Latour- Where was that said anywhere here? Are your political beleifs along the lines of "My boss blows chimps!"? If so, then yes if your boss happens to read it... thanks for playing. Next time, perhaps you can respond to the issues *in* the article? Well, I was saying that I disagree with the statemen
It has been said that Winnipeg has two seasons: winter and construction. Well, thanks to our wonderful climate, construction season is officially over. Yes, today was the first snowfall of the year. My first question is, when the hell is global warming gonna get here! Stupid snow and your stupid winter. Damn you. I do have to thank the architects who de
I think one of the problems here is simply the fact that most corporations are basically Stalinist entities. As for the topic at hand, I have to agree with the basic point here - freedom of speech doesn't protect you from the consequences of the opinions you hold. I don't totally agree wit
Ahhh...FINALLY he explains. a) someone had a garage sale and put flyers up. b) someone else took those flyers down. c) that person mistakenly thought YOU had put the flyers up, misreading the address. d) that person picked up some dog poo with said flyer. e) that person then deposited
holy crap, this is still going!
again I point out the murder rate is 30 to 1 over a 3 years period compared to iraq war dead. Can I question where you get this statistic? I mean, if you are going by raw numbers of American soldiers killed, you have to factor in that there are way less Americans in Iraq than America. If you are going
Those who live in glass houses.......... uh, can you explain what you mean by that?
Intolerance is not the same thing as inter-ethnic violence. You need not be violent to be intolerant. Perhaps you should base your opinions on more than just stories of violent crime in Toronto or Vancouver. Perhaps you should live in a Muslim section of Amsterdam or The Hague for a few years. Or a Turkish neighborhood in Berlin.
Fair enough Latour. To me, the only truly "anti American" are those whose purposes are to see the enemies of America triumph over us.I'll let you decide which you are from there. crap, now I need to define "enemies of America," "triumph" and "us"...I'll sleep on it. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="
I didn't intend this to be a discussion on multiculturalism, but here goes... Multiculturalism and tolerance are mutually exclusive as the world exists today. The only culture which values tolerance is western culture. Intolerant cultures, as found in virtually everywhere else on the planet, can only coexist with the tol
So, does that answer your question? (At least from me?) Sure. The main reason I asked was because I am often accused of anti-Americanism, so I wanted to know what it is I am supposed to be hating, and basically what people are saying when they call me anti-American, so I can tell whether it is true or
I haven't been blogging for a while, thanks to my university/work schedule (although I did get a good nap in calculus today). So here I am, popping my head in with a new article. It's no secret that I harbour negative feelings towards the US government for many reasons (must...not...say...Allende...we've been down that road before), and it's no secret that I don't l
truth, but it's on the person to ACCEPT that burden. well, there is also the simpler thing where when you have great power, the great responsibility comes with not abusing it and using it for evil/selfidh purposes. But I plan to write an article on it in the near future, which either will be we
I think Dabe posted this already. Pretty damn funny anyway
I was going to write another big long article on my blog, but I have little time and keep putting it off, so for know I'll just borrow a quote from Spiderman: "With great power comes great responsibility"
finally, a news network that tells it like it is! But perhaps this belongs in the humour section better either way:
Okay, I'm no expert on evacuations and such, but wouldn't it logically be easier to get supplies to people and save lives if they all went to the Superdome and clustered there, as opposed to being spread out all around the city? These people are completely incompetent and borderline evil
Born on the 24th, you have a greater capacity for responsibility and helping others than your may have realized. You may also become the mediator and peacemaker in inharmonious situations. Devoted to family, you tend to manage and protect. This birth date adds to the emotional nature and perhaps to the sensitivities. Affections are important to you; both the giving and the receiving. ooo..kay...interesting. If I think really hard
I saw him in the background on the news today. He looked alive, although he wasn't moving much...unless he was a puppet who looks like Cheney and is controlled by Bush (ironically enough)
Keep tuned to the news folks, the future of the country is at stake. Oh my GOD, they're getting MARRIED!!! We're all going to die because of it...somehow!!!!!!!! Seriously though, I don't think the government should be in anyone's bedroom (well, anyone above the age of consent), and I don't t
So where is John Edwards?????? Well, the difference here is that no one knows where Dick Cheney is. No one cares where Edwards is.
There was a Jehovah's Witness church across the street from my old school. One summer, they put up a fence and a locked gate. I wondered why they had to keep people out. Then it hit me. They didn't want people coming up and knocking on their doors.
does it have to be a word to count, or can it be something incoherent? mmmmmrrrrrrrrghgghghhhhhhhhiaerofjweljfaskdjrbflklkffilew
Woo! My first front page article!
I was thinking about what happened in New Orleans today. I sympathize with those affected, and can not imagine what it would be like to lose everything. But as a Winnipegger, I feel I can sympathize with them in a special way, for a few years ago it almost happened here. Except we had warning, and a lot of luck. It was known as the Flood of the Century. W
