Manhunt - the episode of Law and Order: SVU Anna Belknap was/is on - is playing on KVOS right now, channel 23 in Vancouver. It's not as bad as CSI: NY, but still cringe worthy.

Uh-oh ... if I got the activity wrong, I'm sorry, but that glyph is not lawful according to this activity's standards, is it not? Haha ... this is hard. Fun, though. Which board did you say you got it from? I know another that plays a similar thing.

The games are still played. Football, baseball, dodgeball, american football, rugby, ultimate ... it's not like they just don't play them anymore. They just don't record the scores. As I said before, you're not giving the kids enough credit. These are sports they're familiar with. It doesn't...

The US is basically in the exact opposite situation that Russia was in at the beginning of WWI, IMO. They've got all this military power but no truly competent officers, which is really the main factor in why the War in Iraq has been dragged out for so long and with so many needless deaths.

To be honest, I think you guys are overreacting a bit. Sure, the schoolboards have taken it way to far, but to say that kids aren't allowed to be kids? It's not like they're forbidden to play the games after school, it's more of a liability issue than anything else. At my elementary school two...

I watched Pride & Prejudice (with Keira Knightley) for the 10th time or something yesterday, which was amazing as always. Saturday evening my friend and I watched Wrong Turn 2. As much as I love the first one, I thought this one focused way too much on the shock value and lacked any...

"Me being in love with a girl and wanting her to be with me ... it affects no one — yet it's terrifying to people and they think you're a monster." SRQ from Hobo Magazine, Spring/Summer 2007 Does anyone else here listen to Tegan & Sara religiously?

I've got a 8GB Project (Red) 2nd gen iPod Nano. I hate it. It's got a decent GUI and that's about it. I've got a month left on the warranty so, of course, it's starting to break. I'm totally giving up on iPods. They're fragile and needy and I like my electronics to last more than 11 months. Not...

I've been really liking the season so far. The writers are obviously going somewhere with this - just have to take the leap of faith, yeah?

Re: Canadian Thread #5 Are you kidding? I love beavertails. There's a place that sells them on the top of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. Of course, we don't eat real beavertails. That would be disgusting.

I thought that most of the Harry Potter ones were nicely done, but (especially with the Victoria Beckham one) you up the contrast a little high. I'm not too sure which original pictures your working with, but it really washes out the definition (I noticed it most in the VB one, the DA one and...

I first heard about this in June and was completely disgusted, if not by the authorities and the school's behaviour than at least by the fact that it got basically no airtime on the news or in the paper or anywhere besides Color of Change. Three months passed before I finally heard mention of it...

Re: Photography Competition: Water I've submitted mine (I think). Did you get the submission, BlueCurl?

I watched an episode from Season 3 a few nights ago, and a comment I've made before came to mind again. I've decided that Lindsay is basically wet cardboard. I've got evidence too: - nil personality - gets weaker by the second - needs to be held up by other things/characters - messy - pointless...

Re: The Rant and Ramble Thread To The Great Gatsby: You are a book filled with terrible people. Every single one of you, save Nick, are shallow and hedonistic and completely abhorrent.

Some people might find this kind of offensive, I've realised, and I don't mean to it to be that way. Sorry. Missing, I don't think the USA is superior to any other country in any way. Their style of government, their elections, their laws, and the even the attitude that they portray is...

Don't worry -- he's in good hands. Last month my Uncle got impaled on an iron beam, which damaged his liver, lungs, heart, and left a gaping hole. He's being slowly removed from medication and soon will be taken off sedation. I'm so grateful to the doctors in New West. I'm sure your brothers...

Lunalove: I grinned as I read your post. Thanks for being so clear-headed in this ... I completely agree with what you said. If we're speaking of ineffective justice systems, I have to bring to attention the Jena 6. It's this racist case that's going on in Louisiana. A couple of black kids...

It is a difficult statement, and I did rethink it a couple of times before posting it. I stand by it though ... the conditions in jail are completely abhorrent, not to mention an insanely huge gang presence. Of course there will be exceptions, there always are, but how many people have killed...

Have you ever been to jail? Ever visited some one, a relative or a friend in one? Perhaps your basing this opinion on what you've seen on TV, in movies, or from spending a night in the drunk tank? Jail is nothing like it is on television. You won't be able to find someone whose life is better...
