This is strange to me. For a long time I had thought that our system here was quite horrible, but my school may have been an exception, and it may not actually have been the curriculum. I can remember hearing about how the 120 Advanced Math and Calculus class supposedly didn't cover enough...

What about Whispers (I Hear You), The Air That I Breathe, and This Calling?

Your views are definitely shared. I recently finished Self-Destruction: The Disintegration and Decay of the United States Army During the Vietnam Era, and it possesses many of the same opinions when it comes to how the war could have been won, and has changed my outlook on the war from nothing...

Not sure on that one, SITM. It seems to me like it could just be a song about the negative sides of combat, or it could be an outright protest against war. I hear it as the former. It's a good song that way. I can't stand listening to songs that are the latter most of the time.

Wonder if this means we'll keep our toys in the sandbox a little later than currently projected?

Recently picked up the new Rise Against CD. I've been listening to it pretty often - it's really good. :D

For some reason it reminds me of a time I was informed that there was no need for anyone to have a military because there were no aliens invading from space...

Websurfing, video games, music... Wikipedia is particularly fun when you start looking up things that are too obvious to have an entry and see what they say. You could also pick up some book series... I suggest Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time, all by Terry Pratchett...

If the CF is really as stable and secure as I've always heard, there's no reason why it wouldn't be overloaded with applications should the economy continue down the slope; I know I want to join partially for that reason. It still excites me, the thought of being a part of it and doing...

No doubt.

It's making me think that maybe these "concerned parents" are the kind of people who think any sort of national pride is bad... I know some individuals who view being Canadian as anything other than a title and see any involvement in the culture as being elitist, brainwashed, corrupt, etc. I...

Might help to get people through the door if the requirements were a little more slack in some areas, actually (vision) - that's one of my obstacles right now. Unless I'm missing it on their pages, the US and British forces are more lenient on vision requirements; I am pretty sure I had read...

Don't know what I'd do if I couldn't read XKCD, Explosm, and Dinosaur Comics every day... and FACEBOOK! Oh noes!

Definitely not surprised, although it seems in some areas there is a strong (and quick) change towards a more scientific outlook on life. This whole area definitely seems to be heading that way.

Fare thee well MiG, Tom Cruise will never forget you!
