  1. I wish that there was tighter gun control everywhere. I think that Canada is a safer country because of it. Does that mean there will never be shootings? No. The question is (especially in the US) how do you get the firearms back from those who possess them. Just think if they offered cash for trading in your hand guns ... they spend Billions/Trillions on invading countries, why not earmarking a couple of billion to buy back those guns and destroy them? Fuck it, we know that wars are fuelled all over the world in order for the manufacturers of weapons and armament make their billions of dollars.
  2. It's happened here many times too. I really don't think that the gun laws being changed will make this sort of event stop. There are simply too many firearms out there, and anyone who really wants one can get one. I remember only recently hearing about one Canadian school shooting that i couldn't believe was seemingly forgotten by many. 1975 in Brampton, ON!! Scott Thomson (Kids in the Hall) was a student there that day. http://www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=56cd4afe-edd6-4253-ae52-698ef78e7712 Past Canadian school shootings CanWest News Service Published: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 • Nov. 9, 2005: Shandie Kerpal, 18, was shot in the shoulder after a masked gunman came up to his car in Chinguacousy Secondary School parking lot in Brampton, Ont.

  3. Tragic events. Watching the developments unfold on Newsworld right now. Campus radio student being interviewed by CBC right now. So sad and difficult. Cribbage? Great game that is lost on this generation ... i've gotten a 28 once, the 29 is soooo elusive.
  4. Damn! I don't know who to believe now ... I do have faith that the truth is out there .....
  5. Sounds like he's a really good Buddhist, no? Ooops ... i forgot. That's the undeniably funny Buddhist satire.
  6. Neil is a chuckle ... i like the way that he left Roberts wide open in the slot just so that he could take a run at Crosby at the side of the net. He should have gotten an assist on that goal . Neil is a pest like the best of them. Annoying as hell to play against and stirs up shit on the ice every time. When he can have a little restraint, he has shown that he has adapted well to the rule changes and should not be dissmissed simply as a goon.
  7. WOW! That was an interesting read ... you may find this one good too: http://www.stillepost.ca/boards/index.php?topic=78075.0
  8. He's only 19 ... he's allowed to have a few tantrums . Somehow he's still getting goals, assists, and drawing attention to his presence. That linemate of his ain't to shabby either.
  9. Entertaining game to watch! Both teams seem to slide into moments of idiocy which keeps that element of surprise a constant. You just never know when the pendulum is gonna swing. Sens def took over in the second and I think that Pittsburgh got a little skittish after Armstrong's hit (that was totally clean). I heard that Eaves is OK and didn't even have to go to the hospital for any tests. Must've been a lot less severe than it looked. Glad nobody's going to miss any games because of it. Game 4 can pretty much seal the deal for Ottawa. However, if they let Pittsburgh back in it, it will be a little crazzy
  10. 211: Homosexuality. 1. Tom Robinson - Glad To Be Gay 2. Ween - Rainbow 3. Broken Social Scene - I'm Still Your Fag 4. Rolling Stones - Cocksucker Blues 5. Frank Zappa - Bobby Brown Goes Down 6. Pete Townshend - Rough Boys (controversial?) 7. 8, 9, 10. 11. 12.
  11. Right on. HEY, is Big Wolly Mammoth coming?!??!?!?! I know that he was planning on Gathering of the Vibes. That'd be awesome if he was making the trip to. So, are ya BWM??
  12. I just wolfed down some killer St. Louis wings. I used to haunt the orginal (Bistro On Avenue) in my younger days and have been hooked ever since. Aside from some special venue (like the Anchor in Buff) I rank all wings against these ... DAMN i'm full and feeling good (saw the Pens win while I was waiting for my order ).
  13. With all these crazy Canucks, how could this NOT be a killer time to be had by all? Stoked!
  14. was she for real? Holy fuck that was painful. If you are ever feeling dumb just watch that Thanks for the laughs
  15. RIGHT ON!! I've almost got our RV lined up . When we get that finalized, i'm sure that well be planning on heading down for the beginning of the fest. I would like to get a decent site if possible and just don't want to miss out on some of those amazing acts. I too sent an email to them and have yet to hear anything. Maybe i'll try calling this weekend. Getting pumped for the Fest
  16. I don't know what place that is ... however, the BEST BURRITOS are definitely at: Burrito Boyz! http://www.burritoboyz.ca/ Unfuckingreal ... i tell ya.
  17. Well, Nashville ties up the series but there's a great fight going on now :)
  18. Great game again in Nashville tonight. There is so much amazing talent, on both teams, in this series. Let's see if SJ can rally in these last few mins.
