Thank you for proving my point. We do not have the Freedom of speech. We have expression, opinion, and thought, but we do not have speech. When Canadian's state that we have the freedom of speech it makes me shiver a little inside about how much Canadian's have learned about our country's system...
I think what frustrates me the most about this entire ordeal is how little Canadian's understand about their own political system. People seem to think that we vote for a certain party or Prime Minister to gain office and that it thwarts our "freedom of speech" if the coalition forms. Both these...
The thing about the Jedi religion (I'm talking about the real followers and not just those that put it down on their census for a laugh) is that it they are not so interested in the ability to move things with their minds but the philosophy that governs it. I've had the chance to talk to a...

I don't believe I would be able to leave and join a foreign military. Of course I've thought about, who hasn't; when I was young I used to wounder what it would be like to run off and join the French Foreign Legion. But when it comes down to it I never could. There are plenty of other jobs in...
I hear a lot of talk about swearing in on a bible. As I am not Christian I wish not to be sworn in on something that has no bearing to me. Is there another way I can be sworn in? What do I say or ask?
I'm sorry that this is straying away from the actual thread - the Hellenes are the Greeks. In short, the Romans came in contact with a tribe known as the Greeks. they then called every other group of people of the same culture the "Greeks". This name eventually turned into what the rest of the...
