He's a mormon?

It's not that difficult to get firearms in Canada, even restricted ones. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/2012/12/17/assaultstyle_weapons_easily_available_in_canada.html As for where he got his ideas, it's not hard to find views similar to his on popular sites like Twitter and Reddit. There are lots of "conservative" sites like Breitbart who would obviously not condone what he did, but do espouse similar views to the ones he held. Is that radicalization? Does it matter? I'm not sure. The push to call him and other white mass-murderers "radicalized" is basically a Liberal debate tactic to use against anyone who calls out radical Islam. It's semantics more than anything. You want to call him a radicalized terrorist, sure go ahead. What he did is basically the same as what happened at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. It's irrelevant what it's called. Who else might be similarly inspired? Anyone. Literally anyone, and there is no single way that it happens. It can happen when a man loses his job. It can happen when someone has a crime or other perceived slight committed against them by a minority. But it's not always so obvious like that, is it? Imagine a scenario... an innocent man comments on social media that he is worried about radical Islam because of what he's heard in the news. He gets called Islamophobic. Fired from his job. Arrested, even, if the Liberals pass their Islamophobia law. Innocent man who was worried about his family, now has lost his livelihood so decides he hates Muslims and all those who defend them. Radicalized, because he dared to say he was worried about radical Islam. Telling people their fears are "wrong" and bullying them into silence can radicalize them as much as anything else.

You don't post enough! You have a wonderful likes-to-posts ratio.

I don't get why Denmark isn't more valued throughout the league... must be missing something

What a joke!

Yes, if they are telling other people that they should be willing to.

Translation: "I don't like this and am willing to ask other people to risk their lives and careers to stop it. While I tweet about it."

That article says some weird things I don't totally understand: huh?

In other words Saskatchewan didn't think he was worth the money he wanted. Calgary disagreed and paid him. Which is basically what I'm talking about here... Calgary acquiring guys that other teams "don't have room for"... but somehow the best team in the league does.

You don't know he wasn't going to re-sign, that's speculation.

That situation isn't as simple as you'd like to believe. There are pro-Russian separatist factions within Ukraine. But I guess you know better than they do. How much time have you spent there? I'm eager to hear about your experiences.

You could make that argument but Sask also gave him away for a 3rd round pick and a kicker. And now they signed a backup Cdn RB to a starter's contract while Messam thrives in Calgary. Maybe you could put that one on Sask stupidity rather than anything special by Calgary.

So you don't think fostering a better relationship with Russia would be beneficial?

Jerome Messam?

DoD is a living legend in the CFL online community

Speak for yourself, you sure don't speak for me

I don't remember him... must have been a little before my time.

Can't win with an impotent top 6 and those guys are not easy to acquire in the NHL these days. It takes years to build a top 6.

Hey pretty close

I totally agree about Kohlert but the point is that Calgary seems to find a way to revive guys' careers. I still remember in 2011 when Marquay McDaniel got benched and then released from the Ticats. How has that worked out?

I like to think that he is being sarcastic and pointing out how odd it is how much the left hate Russia. I never quite know with Trump but I'm pretty sure he won't be attacking any Russian ships any time soon.

Lol will anyone be surprised if Kohlert puts up 800-1000 yards this year? ******* Calgary.

mbrg likes to think he (she?) is the smartest person in every thread and it results in some pretty condescending posts, try not to take it personally.
