  1. This thread is rather humourous. Americans who think they understand what is going on in Canada by reading the news and twitter...reading this thread, it is almost as if you guys really have no clue at all. You don't actually believe all the nonsense and lies do you? Surely this thread is a joke?
  2. My opinion is that although the close games sting, they were at least good games with our great players making great plays. Getting spanked in the superbowl was just awful from beginning to end.
  3. pretty much sums up my feelings about Jimmy Fallon edit: well damn, not embedding well...to watch click upper left corner.
  4. too bad my favourite part of that day is not in that video or available to be seen elsewhere. it was the phonecall right before the pick, from Beane to Allen: Beane "You ready to be a Bill?" Allen "Yes, sir." it was short and sweet but somehow from that moment on i knew that Allen was their guy all along and that he was going to be special.
  5. maybe, or maybe he would do great. i hope they give him the chance in the future, but it will need practice so it is not for this year.
  6. This post is proof positive how awful Art Vandalay is. Pretyyyy prettyyyy bad
  7. great suggestion! i shall celebrate along with you.
  8. Oppression Matrix? What pills can we choose from?
  9. Yes ID required. As often done in Canada we don't vote for things, we vote against. In our generally left leaning country this time it will come down to Trudeau haters vs strategic left votes.
  10. wait, you haven't lived up to random poster's expectations? for SHAME
  11. i suppose that depends on how you feel about the science of genetics. as an example, the more genetic diversity, the less susceptible a population is to a disease killing everyone.
  12. Genetic diversity increases a population's ability to adapt to environmental change.
  13. meh, this statement was ridiculous when it was made regardless of what Allen did. obviously whoever wrote it has no clue. "math itself" wtf is that supposed to mean?
  14. TBD is pretty much the only site I don't use adblock.
  15. While i agree that bans are not good for society, is it not reasonable that a company can decide what they allow and do not allow in their website? I don't like the decision, but it is their decision to make.
  16. indeed. children, and even babies, judge based on what they see, hear, smell, and eventually, understand (and misunderstand). most if not all animals do this. it is a defense mechanism to be cautious of "the other". a throwback to more dangerous times in human evolution. and even though we grow up into (hopefully) reasonable adults, we all still make these judgements. thankfully we have the ability to self reflect and make our minds more flexible. we can stop ourselves from foolish assumption if we choose, but it takes some practice and experience. i fully admit that at times i make judgements based on how someone looks when i should not. I am a work in progress. we all are. we can achieve a more inclusive and less judgemental society, but it is going to take a lot of work including admitting some pretty harsh truths. people love to find faults in society and others but rarely in themselves. i know it is trite but the phrase "look in the mirror" seem appropriate, except we might want to add "hey everyone, look in the mirror".
