I share Tsvangirai's optimism about oncoming change resulting from this latest round of tyranny (for lack of a less charged word).  Arrests: surely unjust but nothing that would warrant more than a blip on the international radar.  The subsequent beatings on the other-hand have done substantial...

Lace army.ca with crack and you have facebook.  Seriously though, since I've finished uni I've found it to be the most reliable way to keep in touch with friends, even moreso than email.

You're doing a great job so far.  While I personally love the site, and many of my friends humorously credit their degrees to it, I would never reference it (and neither would anybody else I know).  However, I don't think that's its purpose.  Similarly I would never reference any other sort of...

  That alone would've put me over the edge..... ;)

I know that there's already been some Numa Numa videos on this site but I can't put this link under "Another Pointless Video" because, well, it isn't.  This is a cult classic at UBC and has been for awhile now.  Just thought that I'd share the Explosion Adventure Ride Fun.  Enjoy...

  Even though I'm a guy with multilateralist/hippy roots, I can't agree with this example.  This is an excerpt from the book  War Law by Michael Byers, an international lawyer and professor who is generally quite critical of the U.S.:  "....At the time [the aftermath of 11 September 2001]...

I got the point.  The substance of your argument was based on stories and 'what ifs'.  It isn't acknowledgeable; nor does it contribute to debate.  Do you not see the humour when you're correcting somebody by saying your source is the Discovery Channel and not a different TV show?  In order for...

  I will agree that you have no idea as to how soldiers are trained.  Your belittlement is insulting.    I guess I just jumped to a conclusion considering that the entire argument has been about the monarchy so far....    "My understanding????"  This type of (inflammatory) speculation will...

Yes I can.  You're underestimating soldiers.  (Muskrat beat me to it) Perhaps not.  However, the Queen is head of state, not the head of the government.  Brush up on the IR.  Edit: not meant to sound as cranky as it reads.
