  1. Across the bord under performing really other then a couple of guys. Is there a locker room issue?
  2. Sometimes the devil you know is better. Even a vile dictator. If he keeps the even more evil people in check. Terrible thought though.
  3. Arent those rebels US backed? Too much idiotic politics in the region. Nothing is black and white, right or wrong. And the world will never agree. We need aliens to come down here and force us all to see the bigger picture.
  4. Russia could respond militarily. They likely wont but could. What's Turkey going to do, call on it's NATO allies to defend it? And the US will respond with military consequences against Russia? Things like this is what could escalate this whole region into something bigger. I guess. I really dont know. Turkey doesnt sound like a lovely regime. But they are a NATO ally? Its one thing for Russia to violate their airspace after repeated warnings (they've threatened the same in our airspace and the US) and to be shot down...but to murder the pilot? And to fire upon a rescue chopper? That's not "defending our airspace".
  5. If you or anyone you know is still looking for hotel accommodations for the big game, there are rooms still available at the Four Points By Sheraton Winnipeg South which is south Pembina Hwy, very close to Stadium. Tons of free parking and a nice hotel. Im sure most of the hotels around the Stadium are filling up but there are always cancellations from people who's team didnt make it. I know management at this hotel and thought I'd mention it here if anyone was looking and thought they were out of luck. http://www.fourpointswinnipegsouth.com/ Thanks! EDIT: yup I spelled accommodations wrong in the thread title. doh!
  6. Interesting opinion piece from CNN with loads of info asking if the Syrian conflict is actually World War III. http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/24/opinions/ghitis-russia-jet-shot-down/index.html
  7. Ultron was bunk. They are lucky the cast is likeable and has chemistry. Ultron was basically 2.5 hours of watching the cast pal around. I think my favourite scene was the party scene in fact. Now that Spider-man is back in Marvel, it at least gives them something new to add to the Avengers' story too. Im looking forward to DC finally getting into the game. I think both CU's will co-exist peacefully with completely different tones.
  8. (CNN)St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey was hospitalized after being shot twice in the head in the Miami area Tuesday, the National Football League said on its official website, citing an unnamed source who was informed of the incident. Bailey, 25, was in critical but stable condition Wednesday, his team said in an online statement. The Rams themselves did not say what happened to Bailey other than he was hospitalized after an unspecified incident, but said they have spoken with the player.
  9. edit. Wrong thread
  10. Civil War http://youtu.be/uVdV-lxRPFo
  11. Yeah but Owens would be cheered against Roman and they want to avoid that.
  12. Let me first say that yes this is a good decision. So good for PM for making the right call But I find the praise hilarious. Many of these same people just yesterday wokld have insisted there was no security issue and no timing issue. And some were called bigoted and Islamaphobic for having a different view. Fast forward a couple of days and there are security concerns and the timeline is too tight. Hmmmmm Admitting they were wrong is an honourable thing so gold star for PM. And the important part is getting it right.
  13. Government must be racist.
  14. I think Ken Kennedy did lose. Someone did.... I thought they'd have roman beat Sheamus actually. Fans have rejected Sheamus. Rejected roman. Had they used the tournament to push Owens, Ambrose, Cesaro they would have drawn a better rating.
  15. WWE fans are telling them exactly what they think of their product. Are vince and Hunter listening? There is no way to spin the Monday, 11/23 WWE Raw ratings other than that they were a disaster. The show did 2.95 million viewers, more than 200,000 viewers lower than what had previously been the non-holiday low dating back to 1997 when Raw was losing badly to WCW Monday Nitro. Part of the reason was the NFL's Monday night game featuring the New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills that did 14.26 million viewers, which is about two million more than football has been doing in recent weeks but nowhere near a record. It is the first time Raw averaged less than three million viewers since 1997. To make matters worse, this was the day after the Survivor Series event where the WWE heavyweight title changed hands, which usually would lead to at least a strong first hour. In case you needed to be reminded, Sheamus now holds the gold after cashing in his MITB briefcase against five minute champion Roman Reigns. The three hours were: 8 p.m. 3.19 million viewers 9 p.m. 2.99 million viewers 10 p.m. 2.71 million viewers
  16. Scheif strikes me as a guy who won't be difficult to sign.
  17. Nope, not me. Grew up on a farm. Have no problem eating meat whatsoever. To be fair, I dont have a problem eating it. I love meat. But once in a while I think about it and I feel sad.
  18. Regardless of whether the writer of the story supported Bush (news flash, a lot of people did), it doesnt change (or add really) the quality of the content. Some of us jump to politics awfully quick around here. As for me, I wouldnt eat a chicken in an egg. In fact, I am ashamed I eat animals at all. We dont need (goes for Milk too which, I hear, appears on some school lunch programs 'must have' lists, which is idiotic) But when it comes to that, Im weak. Watch the documentary Earthlings. You wont eat animals (unless maybe if you caught it/killed it yourself) for awhile.
  19. When are you ready?? Our next show is January 9th but I might be out of town for it.
  20. Roman is the perfect example of the new way of doing things and why it sucks. He is a 100% WWE product. Taught by WWE, developed by WWE, marketed by WWE. Which is why every single thing he does or says is manufactured and lame. Compare him to Ambrose and Rollins who learned on the indy's, worked on the indy's, developed on the indy's. They have personality. They learned different styles and worked with different guys and added/subtracted things from their personalities and repetoir through trial and error. Roman doesnt know any better. He's exactly what WWE would create if they had a wrestler-making machine. Average at everything, not excellent at anything, looks the part, does what he's told. 100% manufactured right down to his beautiful blue eyes. And WWE is perplexed why he doesnt resonate better with fans. He's as fake as it comes.
  21. To quote you earlier in the thread, should he have rented a Prius? I dont have a dog in the fight because the entire things a scam anyway but Im sure you're smart enough to know the difference between flying secure vehicles over-seas for the PM to use and keeping a motor-case idling outside during a Climate Change meeting. But for future reference, Ill help you out here. The *correct* anal response was "Probably idling due to security requirements in case of need to rush PM from scene".
  22. Jets worth $350M http://www.forbes.com/teams/winnipeg-jets/
  23. Fighting climate change one SUV at a time @TheRebelTV: .@brianlilley Trudeau's motorcade idles outside Premiers' climate summit https://t.co/LJWMBa8uTY#cdnpoli #tcot https://t.co/ut3ChagJXu
  24. @josh_wingrove: A bit of a standoff between Liberal cabinet and media on Hill today. Libs refusing to speak outside cabinet room. 1/2 @notandrea: So there's a bit of a standoff happening between press/cabinet and it seems the giddy media access honeymoon is effectively over. #cdnpoli
