  1. not degrading the signing, but Just to temper the enthusiasm a bit last year we had a big time D - end lineman from Alabama, that people were excited about, and he's no longer with the team. Of course I hope this guy works out, and I have no reason to think he won't. yours truly, Tburg (junior)
  2. just came across this Leviticus 19: 33 "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."
  3. pay higher salaries, and provide better working conditions. Canadians will do the job. and try to make Mexicans' and other Latin American's lives in their own countries better; for instance, don't dump Big Ag American corn into mexico, thereby throwing small Mexican famers off the land and driving them to the United states and up here looking for temporary migrant jobs thousands of miles from their home and family. The meat packers had no trouble getting canadians to work in the factories in Winnipeg, till they broke the unions, and drove wages down to half of what they were. Now they have to bring people in from Latin America. Surprised? I'm not.
  4. I thought you were saying in general if something is against the law, the law must be followed. I tried to give some examples where the law was wrong, and should not be followed. Maybe not the best examples. Maybe Better example: laws restricting right to vote to men only, or whites only. Or prohibiting ownership of property by blacks. (we had such in Manitoba till not that long ago.) That's all I meant.
  5. not necessarily. That's back and white thinking. what if someone was escaping from threat of death from Kim Jon Il and entered this country illegaly? I wouldn't oppose that person entering the country. Another actual example, Vietnamese boat people. Rohingya Muslims refugees excaping massacre by fleeing (illegaly) into Bangladesh. There are many examples of laws legally passed, (other than immigration) that are completely immoral, that should be defied and resisted. notorious Canadian example
  6. There is a tendency to look for simple explanations for things. For instance being opposed to illegal immigration, could be a result of A. being a racist, or B. not being a racist at all, but realizing that there aren't enough jobs for the people already in the your country, let alone another several million, who will drive down wages; But if you say you oppose illegal immigration, you will be called racist, by some people.
  7. radical right groups love Trump... Southern poverty law centre: I think some posters were wondering what alternative right meant They can read this article to learn something about it https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/ideology/alternative-right
  8. hockey is so clean cut and polite these days compared to the days of the broadstreet bullies Laine and Mathews (?) photo..... such nice boys!
  9. many wpgers at the game are they travelling there, or live there? exciting game. what gives with these guys? H-buck get first star? do the hucklebuck
  10. too bad they dint beat colorado avalanche a few days ago
  11. was it a head shot by trouba? then yah, suspend him. I hate that s*&t no matter who does it. If the league ignores that stuff, it will cost them big time financially, at some point. imagine if Laine loses his career cause of a few of those league can say goodbye to much $$$$$$$$$$.$
  12. ffloyd's doing alternate reality based colour commentary for the radio broadcast
  13. what's Babych doing these days? and Jim Kyte? never hear a thing about some of those guys. which is good probably.
  14. vis a vis trump blowing up Russian ship ---- why this is so horribly wrong.... and why it's not funny at all, this just happened
  15. People might want to look at his who he's appointed, and what he plans to do, instead of chuckling/cursing about his twitter rants and nonsensical press conferences. The TV media loves that stuff, and it saves them the trouble of actually doing some research and work. Some of his supporters are going to get a swift kick in the ass from him. But like Obama supporters, who got kicked in the ass by Barry, and still loved him The Trumpians will blame everyone but Trump. Political stockholm syndrome
  16. same as the last game. No puck luck right now. getting a good glimpse of what they can do though. Few tweaks and they will be very good.
  17. Aburd thread.... What's new about that? and I think you're being a bit harsh, most of the comments agree, all is great, so it's just an absurd comment, not thread. I should list all of the players that they've had on the roster playing D line for the last three seasons. Anyway, you're probably right about the two guys they got.
