The mrs. and I exchanged gifts last night and I have to definitely give it a 10/10 she bought me the box set of the Godfather (sweetest trilogy ever, get out of here you freaky star war's fans). And she bought me this box set of Ralph Lauren cologne with the body wash, after shave and of course eau de toilette. I bought her diamond earrings so it worked out pretty well, she really loved them.

I just realized something, ive been calling you Sparq on the bored, why the hell have I been doing that? ive been calling you colin my entire life and all of a sudden im using your username to address you? Im retarded sometimes.

One of the best websites Sparq has ever gave me lol shits hilarious.

Man christmas was ruiened a long time ago when it became all about presents and then greedy little brat children would get these hallow christmas's and it just gah.. im half asleep on a rant, so w/e i repeat, fuck christmas lol

haha i just watched this.. DO YOU EVEN KNOW STEVE? -OH THAT STEVE

Fuck Christmas... lol

Capitalistic bastard? Pffttt these NF dollars mean nothing, if you want communism then all the NFer's must rally around a communist cause, like start some sort of new commie compaign and see how much support you pinko's get!

True haha i was actually hoping to illicit some responses from people who would actually take me seriously! way to go GUYS!! lol

Hmm interesting.. looks like The Ottawa Citizen lied to me again lol, they made mention that Devil's brigade evolved into JTF2 but i didnt realize it was a remnant of an American influence.

mmmaaannnn fuck the army ;) haha

There was a JTF 1, well, sorta. To my knowledge the first JTF was actually the Devil's Brigade who kicked ass and took names in WW2. I believe this unit basically evolved into the JTF 2 unit. Friends of mine and myself have driven out to their super secret location once, we didn't see anything of course but yah, they had a place here i think they stayed and possibly trained (Sparq i can't remember if im right on this or not, correct me if im wrong, we drove out there a while ago) which was just outside of Ottawa, sorta rural area. And yes, they take the short bus, but only because it's a super secret bus that delivers them to some super secret air-pad to go and fight super secret missions.

......bahhahahahahaha Soon, our fighters will bare the name "luftwaffe" lol. Ah, the luftwaffe, the washington generals of the history channel. (for those not in "the know" that was a simpsons reference).

This has been pretty cool reading over this, I don't really have any questions for Geoff, I think the music speaks for itself and everyone's going to take away from it their own personal sentiments and what not. But I just wanted to say that the whole MGB discography has had an indelible impact on me. So, thanks for helping to make some fantastic music.

lol I hate Nancy Grace SO much, but yah very good points, Arar got really lucky i think, he still hasn't gotten any hint of justice really. The RCMP commissionor didnt step down because of this, he stepped down because he openly lied about it. Nobody else has come forward in the intelligence agencies about any of these cases either which is really troubling.

I think one of the scary things about this is that there wouldn't be outcry no matter who experienced this. It's not quite the same thing, but remember that guy (he had dual British-Canadian citizenship) who was arrested in Saudi Arabia and was almost executed? There wasn't much of a hue and cry about that until the final days of the deal to have him set free. Edit: my first sentence sounds kinda racist....umm....shit....you all know what I mean. Nah I know what you mean, and you raise a good point. I didn't intend to mean that it was only Muslims, it could really be anyone and that to me as well as you is clearly horrific. I think maybe since these people were not part of the "important" class as I call them like a politician, celebrity, or child of the above two, they just dont raise a concern about it. I can't remember the people involved but the past couple of days the news has had three days coverage of this girl whose the daughter of some famous person who was lost at sea. They've been televising missing people on CNN for days and yet CBC wont even mention four people missing for a year and then when they get back won't even publish a story about the occurances? I dont know, maybe they dont believe them and now that it's been made into a report they will report on it. These types of happenings seem to have really odd histories wit the media. Lack of coverage, lack of action on a part of the government, all very off putting.

This bugs the absolute shit out of me. It's exactly the whole Beta/VHS situation all over again but now with DVD's, I dont really care who wins i just want my DVD collection not to be obsolete - they betther run on either of these two players. If they dont, i will literally never buy another DVD product in my life and will probably smash a lot of things. Such as the faces of the owners of these companies.

Hehe, i'm glad we can have these conversations and respectfully disagree, it's apart of our plutocracy! ;) But see if we put a travel ban on Canadians going to Syria we are also infringing on people's mobility rights, which are actually in the constitution, im not even making this stuff up (but it's directed to travel within the country, but still i am sure you'd get an uproar). The thing is, I think Syria is being used as a patsy, I think to blame it all on Syria torturing is sort of a smoke and mirrors tactic because nobody in the government has come forward about who supplied the info to the Syrians that lead the Syrians to detain them. That's a pretty important part of this story and nobody is really addressing it or comming forward. There is the possibility that the Syrians were lieing about acting on information gathered by the Canadian authorities on these individuals, but all four of these men have experianced the same thing and all of them tell the same story, and none of them know each other, so it's highly unlikely. I think international relations with Syria should have been enough to get our own countrymen back. I think the fact that they did not actively pursue their release diplomatically and then in the case of the newly "discovered" three other individual's involved waited three years to even begin an investigation only after pressure from the Arar affair speaks volumes to A) The intelligence apparatus's failure to the Canadian people B) High level corruption C)Speaks volumes on the post-911 fear that intelligence organizations are working under. Thank god for Justice O'Connor finally suggesting what is generally an accepted norm by other states, which is of course his suggestion of civilian oversight to the RCMP. This is long overdue and will hopefully reduce the possiblity of more cases such as these. Hopefully the government actually implments all of O'Connor's suggestions.

Just because a Canadian goes abroad of their own free will does not open them up to torture by other states. The Canadian state did not address why they were detained and tortured in Syria for three years, i can imagine if this was a non-mulim, the reaction would be quite different. This is still the liberty of our muslim citizens being denied, they are not being protected under life, liberty and security of the person, section one of our charter. There are several other sections I could cite, but this a main one. No the Canadian government did not send them there, but these guys are saying the Syrian officials were telling them that the information was given to the Syrians by Canada about their links to terrorists. Whether this is true or not we'll soon enough learn, but this is still a horrible offence to now four Canadian citizens. Four out of 34 million Canadians muslim or not, is still a pretty bad amount if all roads lead to the same source. They happen to all be Muslim, and I think that there is a reason for that, we throw out our values of multiculturalism and show our true nature. I still think this is a civil rights issue, all rights beloning to anglo-saxon protestant Canadians, French, Aboriginal, Jewish, Muslim, Christian all have to be protected equally, and the evidence from the Arar commission seems to contradict all of this.

Pfft, Garsk your gettin none of my ducats! And nah, i'll wait it out, collect more ducats until i can get something extra special lol.

All three are Canadian citizens and the information collected about them, which was false, was sent to the Syrians. The draconian policies of the Anti-Terrorism Act are what helped the Canadian intelligence apparatus to collect this faulty information on them, which lead to their capture and torture with the complicity of our government. The sweeping Anti-Terror legislation is rife with open ended clauses which allow for the obvious abusive ability of our intelligence agencies which have been typified in these four cases.

I made it to 1000 NF ducats!

Link The federal government has called an inquiry into the case of three other Canadians who were deported to Syria, as a separate inquiry released its second report on the similar case of Maher Arar. On Tuesday, Public Works Minister Stockwell Day appointed former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci to lead the inquiry into the deportations of Muayyed Nureddin, Abdullah Almalki and Ahmad El Maati. He made the announcement hours after the release of the second Arar report, which calls for an independent watchdog to oversee the national security activities of the RCMP. So it seems three more Canadian citizens have been tortured mentally and physically in Syria, are we getting worried about our civil liberties yet?

I dont know if you guys have the DVD, but I bought it a long time ago and watched the special features, and it's f-ing hilarious when they get to this skit. Brady is sitting in this car behind a green screen and he's struggling with saying "choke a bitch", he starts making all these alternatives like "slap a hoe" and then in the middle of him struggling it just cuts to the scene of him saying "Does Wayne Brady Have To Choke A BITCH?" It's HILARIOUS. I highly suggest the special features.

Bhahahaha I am so glad this dudes dead.

You're probably more up to date then most of us are!
