  1. how can you be racist against a religion? It's a question of religious freedom, not racism. And PCB, our board constitutional lawyer, said that what Harper was doing was constitutionally wrong. And he was right. But it wasn't racist. I'm not a constitutional lawyer. I also don't think anyone has been tied into an "ideological pretzel." My issue was that is was not and is not fair to treat Syrian refugees as if they are categorically antithetical to our country and that there was a false dichotomy being created between having 25,000 refugees here this year and there not being proper security checks done. That hasn't been established, at all. Moreover, I'm not sure what to think about the no unaccompanied men policy, but I'm not definitively for it simply because Trudeau has announced it. If anyone is interested, the New York Times posted an article on the US security process for syrian refugees. I imagine Canada's is somewhat similar, but I'll guess we'll find out more tomorrow. I believe men will be included as long as they are a members of a family and can verify there whereabouts over the last 3-4 years. If this means they've been accounted for in a UN sponsored refugee camp for 3-4 years, then good chance they haven't been of much use to ISIS. The notion that ISIS could at the last minute sneak inserts into line by stealth was merely a scare tactic and illogical at best.
  2. Another helmet to helmet, no penalty.
  3. She's officially a blowout.
  4. Brutal, it took the refs. 10 minutes to make that decision, it wasn't even close.
  5. How the hell is that not a TD???
  6. The official crew is too bloody slow in their reviews, the previous game was so much better.
  7. Amazed Messam got back up after doing a somersault and landing flat on his back. His fitness level looks to be improved over last year. Still has a couple of good years in him, I think.
  8. Stamps getting no pressure on Reilly whatsoever.
  9. The Bomber brain trust were whining about the effect of all the changes their O-line went through and how it contributed to their downfall, but Calgary's situation was worse and they STILL look and perform better than the Bomber O-line did all year. And we had a vaunted O-line coach, too. Yup, tells me that it might be a scheme thing. Cgy. seems to be competent at pass and run blocking, so you have to wonder why the Bombers can't do either.
  10. I think the Stamps. patch quilt O-line is going to be their downfall this game. Could get ugly.
  11. No. Still out with suspected concussion effects. I think he's done, would be surprised if he's back next year.
  12. Oswald was only one piece of the puzzle, one things for certain the "official story" doesn't add up.
  13. Good for the GC game imo, Ottawa will bring a lot more attention and fans to Wpg. than the Ti-Cats on their 3rd visit in 3 years.
  14. D backs screwed up, no way should that have been a reception never mind a TD.
  15. Tasker making his mark, good game right down to the wire.
  16. The Bombers wouldn't recognize necessity if it kicked them in the ass.
  17. Didn't know the Ti-Cats picked up Mitchell Gale. Just goes to show the smart get stronger and the dumb stick with Brohm.
  18. Impressed so far with the RB's new running back Powell, he must be another graduate from "Dime a Dozen U". McManus ought to pay that place a visit someday.
  19. Helmet to helmet hit on Masoli as well. No call.
  20. This is what a CFL game is supposed to look like, the refs. are secondary so far.
  21. Huge can of worms imo. Watched many documentaries and read a lot about this conspiracy but until something is officially announced by the U.S. government (which they will probably never do) everything is a loose end. Just like the details of 9/11, once the event has occurred the justification or reasoning behind it is somewhat inconsequential to the momentum of the event itself. The following paragraph from the article is the most relevant point made and it applies well to any American crisis. "Those resolute voices in American public life that continue to deny the existence of a conspiracy to kill President Kennedy argue that “someone would have talked.” This line of reasoning is often used by journalists who have made no effort themselves to closely inspect the growing body of evidence and have not undertaken any of their own investigative reporting. The argument betrays a touchingly naïve media bias—a belief that the American press establishment itself, that great slumbering watchdog, could be counted on to solve such a monumental crime, one that sprung from the very system of governance of which corporate media is an essential part. The official version of the Kennedy assassination—despite its myriad improbabilities, which have only grown more inconceivable with time—remains firmly embedded in the media consciousness, as unquestioned as the law of gravity."
  22. You should give Wisers Hopped a try, they've combined rye with a dark ale finish, really interesting combo. Also highly recommend Wisers Small Batch as a heavy hitter, just make sure you're not too far from your bed when you're done, it's dangerous stuff.
  23. How can you say that given that he's never played more than a handful of snaps at HB? The "IMO" suggests that its my opinion. I base that opinion off of what I think his skill set is. That's what this board is for correct? to form opinions and have discussions about our favorite sports team? I understand it's your opinion. I was asking how you came to form that opinion, seen as how he's never played the position before. didn't we recently have a conversation about this... Sorry, I missed the conversation... I'm thinking that the conversation he's referring to is not football related. It concerns "seen as how" versus "seeing as how". Irregardless of that, I could care less. Yeah... it was a joke... a few of us grammar geeks got all up in arms about people using "seen as how" a few months ago... Yeah, I'm still laughing about "Irregardless" although a lot of people use that term. I think it's actually "couldn't care less" also, although I'm certainly not a grammar geek. Hell, I can barely spell "grammar". My grammar was a sweet old bird but kind of cantankerous when she got into the gin.
