WalkingZombies, I don't fully understand your dislike of Clinton. He hardly messed up the economy: rather, he cleaned up the mess the first George Bush left and, when his terms in office were up, the states has a surplus of $559 billion. I don't understand the rest of your post, but what does...

Though I really really disagree with most arguments you've made, the only one I'm going to actually call BS on is this one (as the rest are really opinions you've restated as facts). If you can provide the evidence that "Abstinence Ed" is working I would love to see it. Telling people to simply...

I can all but guarantee you that there will be another minority Tory government in Canada, and even if there isn't, most of our conservatives are more (socially) left-wing than the Democrats. Stephen Harper is an idiot, but he's hardly harmed Canada. The only draw-backs we're experiencing right...

Both MLK Jr and Nelson Mandela broke down racial barriers in their respected countries that don't exist anymore. Obama could hardly have made the exact same change that they already have. What has McCain done that's so brilliant?

Hollyyo, I don't think anyone's here's going to bash you for your political opinions, though I do disagree with some points (though I also agree with a lot of it). Yeah, Obama does preach a lot about change and not so much about how to go about it but we're still in the early stages - I haven't...

None. I've got other friends from online that I've met in person and I love them all to bits. I've got friends on other forums that I've got plans to meet, but I can't say I have any intentions of meeting any on this site.

I suggest you listen to her speech from the Democratic Convention. Clinton has earned the position that she has today and I think that she can and HAS fully accepted that she's not in the White House and is now concentrating on getting the Obama/Biden double ballet into the Oval Office. The...

Smoking Cigarettes, cigars, pipes and home-rolled. All that legal stuff. Do you smoke? If yes, for how long? What do you smoke? What made you start? If not, share your opinion. Where should it and where shouldn't it be legal? Does there need to be a tax hike on cigarettes to a) boost the...

Even still, not every athlete is tested. They're "randomly" selected (though somehow almost always wind up being gold medalists). Bolt even volunteering is a pretty good sign that he's not doping, and being tested 7 times is much more than most athletes are. Relax, the IOC has a job for a reason...

I really don't see how that was rude. Your previous statement was how American companies are being bought out and moved overseas using Anheuser-Busch as your premier example. It would probably be best to have what's backing the statement up correct :p I've had quite a few people say to me that...

Is it not possible to talk about Clinton without badmouthing her?

I finally read it - borrowed my friends and finished it when I couldn't sleep. The only way I can think to describe it is bad fanfiction. Bella's basically the ultimate Mary-Sue character. The biggest WTF for me (besides the end) was definitely Renesmee. Not the character, that was a pretty...

It really bugs me sometimes that the title or summaries of news articles contains such huge spoilers. I had no idea Grissom was leaving the show, so thanks for that.

Re: 2008 Olympics -- Michael Phelps There's already an olympics thread here

He's a reeaaally nice guy, too, and just as good looking in person. Definitely bringing Kayaking into the spotlight, which is great,

I'm fine with shows expressing their opinion on politics. SNL has always been a fairly liberal political comedy, and while I was a little surprised House decided to go that route, it was in a shot that only had Olivia Wilde in it, a VERY politically involved actress who's campaigned for Obama...

First of all, xfcanadian? Rofl. Completely agreed on everything in there (the first sentence in particular) This isn't entirely true - most of what I know about the US election is because I choose to read about it, and I think that's true for most Canadians. I'd know the main candidates names...

Went to Pemberton Festival, and watched ... Metric Wolfmother Serj Tankian Interpol Nine Inch Nails Sam Roberts Band My Morning Jacket The Tragically Hip The Flaming Lips Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Vampire Weekend N.E.R.D. Death Cab For Cutie Jay-Z Coldplay as well as The Fiery Furnaces...

The Tracey Fragments - Small, independent Canadian film with Ellen Page (from her pre-Juno days). Fabulous, and George Stroumbolopolous makes a cameo. Tracey Berkowitz, wearing a shower curtain in the back of a Winnipeg bus, looks for her little brother who's convinced he's a dog. Fix - An...

Turning off flash and cranking the ISO (to prevent noise) or putting the camera on a flat, steady surface (to prevent blurriness) would have done the job for the negative. I'm a fan of the composition, anyway - you just might want to try that for next winter. Adorable_Crazy + fantastic...
