  1. Seriously, though, give me an objective reason why Crash is the best picture of 2005. You can't.
  2. How can you say one piece of art is better than another? It's all subjective.
  3. Yeah, the CBC is so pro-American. lol.
  4. Wendy's owns Tim Hortons... So I guess it's part of the American lifestyle.
  5. You're living in a utopian dream world if that's how you see things. It's kinda cute, really.
  6. Geez, wouldn't want to be friends with you... SOME cops are crooked. What kind of "dog eat dog" country would we have if we didn't allow the government to have some right to use force? The strong would dominate the weak, the majority would dominate the minority.
  7. No way! TND isn't great, but still not terrible.
  8. Can't wait for Casino Royale. Back to the Bond basics.
  9. There's no such thing as free anything.
  10. The women skate circles around the men.
  11. Kurtlar vadisi - Irak Gary Busey kicks ass as an organ thieving Jew.
  12. For the sake of the sport, it would be nice to see Sweden win.
  13. I mean, Gold and Silver are already determined, by the simple fact that only two countries in the world fund the sport. All other countries are vying for third place. Tell me, are dominating scores like the ones Canada and the US ROUTINELY put up in the spirit of the Olympics? The sport is great, but it shouldn't be in the Olympics until other countries build up a proper foundation for the game.
  14. Nah, they don't kick ass. You have to play good teams for it to mean something. Dunno why women's hockey is even in the Olympics. It's just a tournament for the bronze medal.
  15. At least two years. The Liberals are in no position to run another campaign, given their massive debt and lack of leader.
  16. I thought they were denying the holocaust? If they make fun of it, are they accepting it occured?
  17. I wonder why Emerson couldn't have just stayed as a Liberal and sat in the Cabinet? We've had union governments before. It might have added a bit of much needed bipartisanship to Ottawa.
  18. EDIT: the budget in total is $2.77 trillion. The defense part is $439.3 billion. 16% of entire budget for defense. 3.5% of America's GDP, which is about where it's been for 10 years. A hell of a lot lower than during the Cold War.
  19. I can access yours.
  20. I can't seem to access any blogs made with blogger. Can anyone else?
  21. Well, when you're drinking, it means you win bladder room for another beer.
  22. No, I didn't. Who do you comment as?
  23. Thoughts on this? http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/20...rper060126.html The United States opposes a plan by prime minister-designate Stephen Harper to deploy military icebreakers in the Arctic in order to assert Canadian sovereignty, says the U.S. ambassador to Canada. "There's no reason to create a problem that doesn't exist," David Wilkins said Wednesday as he took part in a forum at the University of Western Ontario in London. U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins. (CP file photo) "We don't recognize Canada's claims to those waters... Most other countries do not recognize their claim." During the election campaign, which culminated with Harper's win this week, the Conservatives promised to spend $5.3 billion over five years to defend northern waters against the Americans, Russians and Danes. "Sovereignty is something, you use it or you lose it," Harper said at the pre-Christmas announcement in Winnipeg. His plan included the construction and deployment of three new armed heavy icebreaking ships, as well as the eventual construction of a $2-billion deepwater port in Iqaluit and an underwater network of "listening posts." Harper wouldn't say whether he would order military action if the ships or port detected an unauthorized submarine in Arctic waters. In an interview, Wilkins said he doesn't think that kind of military buildup is necessary in the Far North. "We are simply having a disagreement on this," he said. "We have agreed to disagree, and there's no reason ... to say, 'There's a problem that's occurring and we gotta do something about it.'" Wilkins also said he expects less anti-American sentiment from Harper's new minority government, and added that he called Harper to offer congratulations on his election victory.
