  1. I think people are missing the point. Where is the argument in favour of 25,000 minimally vetted Syrian refugees on such a short timeline?
  2. Saw a clip where Rousey basically predicted Holm's game plan including ending with a kick to her head
  3. No P, we should be careful. You seem to think there is no Middle ground between minimally vetted mass refugees from an area of the world at war where the enemy has promised to hide among refugees and closing the borders. There is a middle ground. And as much as you dislike it, it's called common sense.
  4. The viewpoint of homosexuality and Jews is unsubstantiated? Uhhhh okay....whatever you say. As another pointed out you realize that homosexuality can be punishable by death?
  5. If Amish declared war on western culture and were carrying out mass murders in the name of their religion and promising to hide amongst refugees to commit more atrocities and there were thousands and thousands of Amish refugees trying to get in, I would suspect a lot of Canadians would want to be very cautious about that.
  6. BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari has said his country's intelligence services shared information they had which indicated that France, the United States and Iran were among countries being targeted for attack.
  7. Homosexuality is strictly forbidden in Islam. Now ofcourse there are Muslims who rail against that. But if you look around at polls and articles you will see a strong anti-gay sentiment among Muslims. It's a different culture so it will take longer to change but it should be a consideration when opening our country to people tjat don't share "our" views of human rights.
  8. When they make the nets a couple inches larger!
  9. A lot of moving parts. I guess this terrible attack deserves it's own thread. @AP: Latest on Paris attacks: Officials say police questioned and freed fugitive suspect hours after deadly attacks https://t.co/QvVI5UfZ38
  10. Brayden Schenn was a healthy scratch last night. Long rumoured to be on the trading block and sometimes linked to winnipeg.
  11. Andrew Ladd is an elite player? I'm not sure many lists of elite players include Crosby, Ovechkin, Stamkos and Ladd.
  12. @ezralevant: John McCallum said Canada would bring Syrian migrants over first, and finish vetting them later. After Paris, that is criminally negligent. I wonder how the US feels about this.
  13. Scotty Bowman. Yes. He worked a lot with TRCW and then for PCW for the first couple of years I have been with PCW since the beginning. A guy named Mike and I started it. Mike left in 2003.
  14. And no you haven't countered by argument at all. This is Syria where 200 honor killing a year took place before the civil war. Do you think we're making sure the only refugees that come here don't believe in sharia law? Don't hate Jews and gays? Don't believe their women are property? I mean yeah I guess it's just a wonderful culture we should embrace. I'm all for helping people. But when the enemy says they will hide among refugees and this has been proven already you don't put politics of bringing in refugees ahead of the safety of Canadians.
  15. Oh man PCB just use common sense. One of the Paris killers was a refugee. What is your angle here? That there does not exist a large number of Muslim's who want sharia law throughout the world and are willing to murder innocent people to achieve it? When is it not okay to you?
  16. Just bexajse it's wjat ISIS wants doesn't mean it's not what should happen. Should France not respond? Al Queda was splintered due to overwhelming military force. Groups like ISIS can be defeated but it has to be strong and determined overwhelming military action. And I do realise that it doesn't strike at the root. But the issue of radical Islam likely can't be challenged by anyone but other Muslims. But it seems too many Muslims turn a Blind eye to it. The UK poll I found shows 99% of UK Muslims were against suicide bombing but 40% wanted Sharia law. It's a huge discourse between cultures. And I dismiss the idea that increased security vetting of refugees won't help. That's silly. So should we do no vetting then? Just let everyone into canada that wants to come here Immigration is a big issue in the US and what many people don't want to face is that it actually is a potentially huge negative thing. If you try to discuss it you're called a racist. If you try and point out the nastiness of some aspects of Islam you're called a bigot. If they promise not to kill us should we allow sharia law?
  17. I agree. I think we've seen this too many times to be hypnotized by a decent stretch. Six games of good play won't make people think they've turned a corner. We thought they turned a corner last year. It will take extended and consistent quality play to make fans think the jets have turned a corner.
  18. Jacobs has a lot of power. He's the chairman of the board. It's not really up to me to dictate how the NHL runs their business. But the article you linked also mentioned how Bettman essentially combatted Jacobs by pushing Vegas Bettman has a lot of power and sway with the executive. Which is one of the reasons the Jets are back.
  19. @AFP: #BREAKING French air force pounds IS stronghold in Syria, defence ministry says
  20. All this did was make Rousey a ton more money with a rematch. Holly was really the perfect opponent to upset her with her skills. Ronda even said beforehand that Holly "posed a lot of problems".
  21. I'm not too concerned with them bidding on high prices free agents. I'm fine with draft and develop. But I hope they are weary about giving second tier guys like Ladd elite level money because he's a "superstar" on the jets.
  22. Yes it was that Bratt retirement tour! I had promised never to work with him again but he convinced me! Ugh. Lol. But it was a fun show!! Who was your friend that wrestled and reffed??
  23. Nope! Is it too much for you? You don't believe it? It's crazy but true. Don't even need polls. Use common senseSyrians being radical? Can't be. Lol "Don't even need polls. Use common sense." That is what you have just said to support your belief that a majority of a people are antithetical to you and your conception of Canada. That, unknown, is called xenophobia. Nope. Because you neither want to apply common sense or use the procided facts. So you lose. Thanks! Back to my wine.</blockquote>Lol at claiming victory in an internet fight. You should finish him off with an "I'm rubber you're glue" death blow.</blockquote> I thought about it. But didn't want to kick him while he was down.
  24. I was spoiled too.
  25. That's pretty crazy but it's the best thing for MMA. Huge main event for UFC 200 now.
