I put this in Philosophy because I feel it is more than a religious issue....rather one of human rights. Three things I have noticed in the past few days: Beijing Olympic Committee has refused bringing in any Bibles to the Olympic Games in 2008, either personal by visitors, or handed out by...

I leaped out of bed thinking I had to put the clock ahead and I was going to lose an hour.... Have been up for two hours and realize it's "Fall Back".... Have a good day folks - we have an extra hour to get into trouble.

Aircraft have been sent from B.C. and Quebec to assist in the California fire fighting - we can always look north for some kind of assistance when in trouble .... Not a Canadian craft, but there is some quality flight going on by one guy (nobody seems to know if he is an ex-military or...

Canadian Ships are taking part this weekend along with the Snowbirds from Canada in SFO. I thought the Snowbirds had been cancelled as the Blue Angels were taking part but nephew said he thinks both teams are participating. My nephew just phoned as he has been invited aboard one of the ships...

Careful Beav - they'll be after your family for appetizer next... I followed that Zimbabwe massacre - have you any great links (unbiased ones) to back up your flight of fantasy???

Another shining example of letting the U.N. handle it ... Zimbabwe was the breadbasket of of the region until the locals under the direction of Robert Mugabe moved in on the white farmers and either slaughtered them or ran them off..... the natives didn't know how to work the farm equipment...

Any golfers here? There is a tourney on in (or near) Montreal I think - something new - an International Team with Canadians and Euros and Aussies and some from Asia against the U.S. It's match play and they are both so close it's going to be interesting Sat and Sun... In case you didn't...

I am ignorant on the topic of tattoos... not because I dislike them but I detest needles - and for cosmetic reasons I have a choice not to go near them. I nearly lost my lunch getting my ears pierced when my girlfriend and I dared each other one Saturday to get them done... What are the...

It's difficult to have a hero who is an ex broadcaster and press secretary who talks about politics all the time. It's easier for me to love characters like Tiger Woods because I understand the kind of celebrity that 'hightlighted events' brings.... not the day to day slogging through crap like...

I hope this forum remains just as it was overnight ... Thursday nights are rough when I meet with a battered group of men and women and we get into the ditches of the really beastly things we are capable of doing to each other.... ...this morning I cruised throught he topics and ended up...

Yesterday I took the midmorning and early afternoon to do some things for myself to bring cheer into my life instead of the dirge I have been in over 9/11. There is a new midde-to-upscale but fun store here and I decided to invade it to see what they had. WHAT THEY HAD ???? EVERYTHING FUN...

Michael Moore's Giving Ways I received this in the past week and kept it to share - interesting comparisons given here Look at the earnings from Michael Moore's 'documentaries' and his comments about his audience to understand his motivations. In his films, Moore condemns the automotive...

Remember the poor security guard who was accused of being the Olympic Bomber in Atlantic City when he was innocent - but tried and convicted by the hysterical media? He died of natural causes but the article I linked to doesn't specify - I always felt terrible about him - he didn't have much...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army soon will deploy a faster and more lethal pilotless plane to Afghanistan and then to Iraq, it was reported Tuesday. The Reaper flies three times as fast and can carry eight times more weapons than the Predator, the pilotless U.S. plane in use since...
