  1. Leave "Sum 41" out of this, they had what, one or two pop-punk albums? Then they have followed up with two heavy metal type albums.
  2. My favourite "the" band is "The Hives".
  3. 1) Failing The Rorschach Test 2) Advertising on Police Cars 3) My Out of Style is Coming Back
  4. I really like a band from the east coast of Canada, called "Madhat" (www.madhat.net)...
  5. I got the "In A World Called Catastrophe" one as well...
  6. Yeah she's pretty funny. I really liked last Thursdays episode, I think it was pretty good.
  7. My favourite band is "Limblifter".
  8. Didn't it get picked up for the whole year or something?
  9. 1) A Boy and His Machine Gun 2) Born To Kill 3) The Future is X-Rated
  10. thats why his films are more editorials than "factual" documentaries. But Moore's often controversial opinions are what make his films fun to watch. I watch documentaires on The History Channel all the time and i find them interesting, and i can trust most of them to be fairly factual, but they are bland compared to Moore's and would put the average person to sleep. the spin is the hook, i guess. That's an un-bland documentary ;)
  11. "better known as "bored" of the rings... lol, I'm clever" that wasn't clever, and no I'm not a fan of those movies.
  12. Yeah I saw some show like that, can't remember what it was called. I remember it being funny...
  13. A point-of-view is fine. But Michael Moore presents more of a one sided arguement. Similar to as I said in my previous post.
  14. I think Michael Moore presents more of an argument than a documentary. I have quite a bit of respect for Morgan Spurlock ("Supersize Me") though. He showed more what happened to him, he interviewed some people. And then made some suggestions towards the end. He also had doctors monitoring his progress, to help show some more effects.
  15. I liked Kerry's stance on abortion. I thought he said it very well. The idea of him as a leader has to represent all of the citizens. He could/can try to help people lead to other decisions in what way I don't know exactly really...
  16. I used to really like "Star Wars" but it doesn't intrest me as much anymore...
  17. I'm intrested in hearing their next album. I think some of the songs on the first one that weren't released as singles showed the band had some talent. But I heard their drummer left or something like that.
  18. 1) Apparitions 2) The Rat Who Would Be King 3) Tripoli
  19. I'm not really as big a fan as I used to be. Back in the day when I first saw "Load Me Up" on "MuchMusic", I really liked the song. I ended up buying "Beautiful Midnight". I listened to "Load Me Up" but not much else in the beginning, then not too long before "Strange Days" was released as a single, I listened to the album again, and this time I liked "Load Me Up", and "Strange Days" only. Slowly I got more into the album, and by the time "The Audio Of Being" was released I was a pretty big fan. But nowadays I'm not really a big a fan as I was back then.
  20. "Bowling For Columbine" changes certain facts. For instance the gun give away at the bank, Moore failed to explain that it takes 30 days to receive said gun.
  21. Why do we need to get there? The U.S. is willing to tow our equipment for us. ;)
  22. Its not out equipment (casue the USA beats that out of the water) its that Canada has some of the best trained soldiers in the world. There isnt alot of Canadian soldiers but there very well trained. and yes...our snipers do kick ass It's our equipment too. We have some equipment that the U.S. wants to have nearby as well. Yes we have some of the best trained soldiers in the world, as I said previously though as well, but it's mainly for the equipment.
  23. Actually thats not quite true. The reason Belinda Stronach did not win the leadership nomination is because she has zero political experience. She came from being a top business executive (CEO), to throwing herself into the political fray. She has a better image than Harper and is more likeable, so maybe in another 4 years she'll win the nomination. She even had the official backing Michael Harris, a demi-God in the eyes of conservatives. And Tony Clement was just a geek, and Peter McKay is a liar and a cheat, so Harper was the best man left for the job, and looking back Harper still was very likely the best chance the conservatives had at winning the Federal election. I don't see Harper's winning as "what the Alliance wanted", because if Michael Harris (former PC) had run he would have blown Harper out of the water. But it does totally give the impression that the Alliance-PC merge was just an Alliance takeover. You do know who Peter Mackay's biggest supporter was during his P.C. leader election? Belinda Stronach. I agree, i hate the religious part of Harper's policies. Gay marriage, abortion etc. wouldn't be allowed if Harper had anything to do with it. But those are his own opinions, and his religious social views are not what all conservatives across Canada believe. Harper likely does represent what many Western Alliance believe, but not in the PC half of the party. As for Martin and his "new" Liberal party, Martin is much better than Chretien, but the party, its members, the people and businesses they employ, and its basic policies remain mostly the same. I don't totally trust Martin, but we'll see where this party goes. I honestly don't forsee and sweeping changes happening. But the people who make the decisions are starting to change is the point. So are you saying you are content on having a military that is horribly under-funded and is totally incapable of protecting the sovereignty of this country? Haven't you read the stories about our crappy Sea-King helicopters, that are literally 40 years old, have frequent malfunctions, and one which crashed last year trying to take off from its landing vessel. link: Sea-King crash...and those are the best helicopters we have! Do you also recall Canada not even having enough ships to even transport our troops to the Persian Gulf/Afghanistan and having to let the US do it for us? embarassing. Over the last decade the liberals have taken money directed to our military and used it towards funding social programs. They have no real plans on improving our military, unlike the Conservative who had more military funding on their official election platform. Yes i like our role in the world as peace-keepers and no i don't want us to become a war-like country, but i am for keeping our troops safe and properly-equipped. Yes I heard about the Sea Kings. But do you even know why the Americans want us to go to these wars? For our equipment, since we have some really good equipment, they want us there for that. How do I know this? I have a cousin in the military...
  24. I've seen some parts of some episodes, it can be good...
