Mark H.

Actually, without war, and I mean no war at all, none of the above would've happened.  War has become so ingrained in us - we forget to consider what a peaceful world could look like.
 
The idea that we must fight wars to create peace is inherently flawed.  This year is the 100th anniversary of World War I.  That war is the classic example of what happens when too many people blindly support war.
 
As for Duck Dynasty, I have no respect for that show; none whatsoever.

Between the various CFL message boards and FB, I like to think I've gotten to know Mark H a little bit over the past while. He's clearly very educated, intelligent, and EXTREMELY funny....this is my basis for what the Hutterite people of Manitoba are like, along with the extremely hard working and selfless folks who helped us sandbag in 1997.
 
Thanks for being a good example, Mark....even if you did leave Corb stranded by the side of the road. #MightyNeighbourly

All the power does not rest with one person. We have a president but are largely autonomous in our various jobs and responsibilities. I feel for anyone who has had a bad experience, but bad experiences happen in any walk of life. As for the idea that it's hard to leave, many of us are well educated and trained, we could leave in a heartbeat if we wanted to.

I certainly won't claim to be an expert on Hutterite colonies, but I do believe whether you live in a democracy, communism, capitalism, or whatever, there is good and bad in all walks of life.  But that, unfortunately, tends to be human nature.
 
You could easily pick out atrocities and horrible things that have been done in all of those societies.  It really comes down to people, you will get both the good and the bad everywhere.

I've been quite open about the fact that I'm a Hutterite. I'm a certified teacher, I've travelled to various places on the globe, I teach using more advanced technology than most of my non-Hutterite colleagues, I'm the collective bargaining chair for my local teachers' association, and for good measure I help out with moderating MBB, attend a few Bomber games every year, and watch the rest on our community TV.
 
If y'all want to believe I'm behind some kind of fence that I need to escape from - I suppose you're free to do that.

Don't even know where to start, biting my tongue, for now...

Call it doom and gloom if you want, but I wasn't surprised that this happened with Ray and his short passing game.

A hard reminder that those that share the most joy, often hold onto the most pain. Oh Captain My Captain - RIP

You are right. It is just as unreasonable to argue that it isn't then that it is. Which is really the point of that statement. TUP wants to keep going until he can get someone who is religious and believes in the bible to admit that it is flawed and not the actual word of God.
I was only representing the counter argument.
We live in a society that grants freedom of religion. You are entitled to believe what you want. No one is going to win this debate and change each other's mind. It is a ridiculous argument to be having. And yes I include myself in that statement for continuing to reply.

This discussion that you claim you're not having - I dare say you're quite adept at adding comments that you know will rile people up.

They double-teamed Chick as often as possible.  I'm not sure why Penton tweeted 'they never double-teamed him.'  What were they supposed to do? Double team Chick and let Brackenridge come right up the gap?

Looking back at this game, I guess I was pumped about our 5 - 1 record and didn't stop to consider one very important fact. Matthias Goossen was making his first start against what is probably the best DL in the league.  Yep, January and Howard had trouble with Chick, but the Riders ran some successful stunts in the interior as well.  If y'all watch the game again, you'll notice Goossen was the one they were picking on.  That was a baptism by fire for him, to say the least.

Considering that the first field goal was due to an interception, the D literally pitched a shut out in the first half.  This team has proved they can regroup, and I think they will.  
 
But watching Messam chew up yards and minutes when they had the lead - did give one an inevitable feeling.

Not missing a thing - some people just like to troll after a bad loss.

Bombay....the immortal Ritch Dowrey known as - 3rdDown, persuaded me to switch.....

A legitimate QB, improved coaching, and improved Canadian depth.  None of us were expecting all of that to improve as quickly as it did, but it certainly has.    

Speaking of not kidding ourselves: if and when Watson comes back we could very well have someone else injured.  It just gives us one more option with ratio.
 
We have the ability to start 3 Americans on the OL, we have Canadians who can play effectively in the secondary, and we have three Canadian receivers who are capable of being every down players.

It was a good way to counter the way Hammy was stacking the middle. Unorthodox yes, a bad call, no.

Bombers had to settle for field goals early and Hamilton gets the big play kick return and manages to punch their chances into the endzone rather than kicking field goals, that's CFL ball right there. Game looks like it's going one way but a couple plays later it's flipped around. 

I have to give extra kudos for two players on the team who have been questioned as to why they are on this team.
They worked their butts off tonight and were prominent in securing this victory.
For two unsung heroes,
Greg Peach, who had a hell of a game tonight 5 tackles, 2 sacks and constant pressure,
and Aaron Kelly who came in tonight and picked up where Nick Moore left off, 7 catches 101 yards.
 
Gentlemen, I salute your efforts...
