Thank you for clearing that up, I hate it when I unintentionaly spread false facts. I guess this is just another example of our public school systems not getting it right.

Both sound like great ideas, how do you think the Taliban would feal about having these idiots trying to talk to them? They might just surrender, 'please dont send any more, we cant take it, they are TOOOOOOO stupid. kill us or take them away please'. One question, why especially after the...

I would agree that usually that is what it means in Canada, however its 'supposed' to be assumed that they are equals in skills/training/experience and the minority person would get it. (I dont like it, but thats because I have according to the books never been discriminated against) And I have...

lol not too well I would imagine, I wonder if we could charge a hitman fee to the Japanese? They would certainly be happy with an ending like that. And what irony, they are out protesting whalers trying to get them to stop harpooning whales and then they get harpooned themselves.

Watson is a joke, it was a pain in the *** having him in the news the last 2 years regarding the Japanese whaling fleet (he likes to ram their ships with makeshift "can openers" and throw chemicals at the whalers. I cant explain how happy I am to hear that now he has decided to grace us all with...

Hollywog, Regarding affirmative action being a hate crime. Affirmative action in its purest form is essentially a means to help groups of people who had been "held down" in the past to get back up to an even level with those who were not "held down". Essentially if three people walk in for a...

Very nice. He is coming by the University of Lethbridge this week. I think I might just drop in to ask him a question as well.

Point taken. One counter-point though, just because we are both white does not mean that we cannot be racist towards other white people. A racist comment is racist wether you say it against someone of your own "race" or another. (I dont like the word race unless we are talking about the entirety...

Your right, it wasn't ment to encourage dialogue, but if you think I am the only person here who has "dropped the race card" your wronge. You yourself just dropped it - "especially being white." I didnt say it to start a fight I said it as a counter-point, and I realise it wasnt necesarily...

Well said Mainer.

So because I am white that means nothing I say is relevant? Prejudice is a two way street friend.

First off I would like to note that I have not read all posts, so if someone else has brought this to light my bad. Mr. Phil Fontaine re: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/11/27/first-nations.html?ref=rss "It is our hope that when parliamentarians rise to speak to this issue that they will...

I remember watching on cbc a year ago about how some student unions at Concrodia and McGill (I think) and some others are trying to ban the CF recruiters from coming onto campus to recruit during career fairs. I figure that if the universities capitulate and refuse the CF access to students...

Hosted in cooperation with the NDP and Alexa McDonough is the keynote speaker.....now why is it that whenever you need a puking smiley face you cant find one  ;D.    I guess this one will be close enough  :-X. If its on tv I might watch for a bit out of shear morbid courisosity<sp?>. Now if...

"Cook told the group about of an incident in which, during "Operation Medusa," the ISAF commander-in-chief requested assistance for the beleaguered Canadians. "Five nations refused," he said indignantly, while at first declining to name the five. But then he described the specifics of the...

I just read over the Somalia Affair on Wikipeida and I gotta say thats ****ed up what happened over there. And it wasnt just us, apparently the Italians and Belgians did some nasty things too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_Affair

a_majoor, well said. cdnaviator, while I am no expert on Cyprus, I have not heard of any fighting there for quite some time. While not the best outcome, it is a far cry from the worst possible outcome. IMHO.

While I am not sure it was ment this way, extreme could be looked at from a different angle. For instance I am a fiscal conservative, I do not consider myself extreme nor would most people, yet someone who is on the far left political spectrum would call my views extreme and call me an...

Every day I try, my skin has just not grown thick enough.

Wow, after reading that article I decided to explore the globe and mail's website. Often I hear Canadians poking fun at Americans because they know nothing of our history, well, thats actually not so bad considering how many Canadians on the G+M site know nothing of our history or current world...
