    Deconstructing "Progressive " thought

    I would have thought you'd support cultural relativism as it's the most laissez-faire, non-dictatorial approach to cultural interaction and more in keeping with the libertarian philosophy you support. I may be misunderstanding, but if you don't believe in cultural relativism, what is your...

    Saddam sentenced to death by hanging

    True enough - CNN has never been the beacon of journalistic light they like to make themselves out to be. Reporting on one event for 6 hours after having exhausted the topic in the first 20 minutes is monotonous to say the least. Without even the appearance of legitimacy, this trial is more...

    Saddam sentenced to death by hanging

    Well, that'll teach everyone! Killing Saddam will show the Iraqi people and the world that killing is wrong.... wait a second... That, and the trial was about as farcical as one could possibly imagine.

    Canadian AFG War "Resister"

    Sounds like he didn't have the mental/physical fortitude to finish his CAP course and so instead of admitting weakness and personal failure, he claims it's for ideological reasons - much less embarassing than admitting the truth. Good riddance.

    Attitudes may differ, but these soldiers know why they fight

    Ditto - interesting piece, but the author writes more like a highschool student than a journalist.

    Anti-War Vigil at Armoury

    Because lord knows, the only people getting killed in Afghanistan that aren't Canadian soldiers are the Taliban, right? While I don't support his ends, I think you've jumped a little far in your conclusions.

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    Thanks... I think. The "after all" part makes me wonder... Good luck to you - keep us posted when you have the time. Thank you - I'll need it.

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    Alrighty, well I've managed to do the semi-impossible and arrange storage, pack, and move almost all my stuff in 1 day, largely due to the assistance of two of my friends. I have a flight out to Gagetown on Sunday - all that's left is to move my computer, once I'm done studying, cancel my...

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    Yeah, it would probably cost more than I can afford on an Ocdt's pay. I've got alot of my stuff packed by now, the major difficulty is finding a rental truck on short notice. I'm not sure, but I doubt it - my posting is restricted and they won't pay to move my stuff out to Gagetown so I'm...

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    Well, apparently April 30th is it. The course messages were apparently late in coming (I got mine on the 22nd), which is why there's now such a sh-t show going on. One week's notice to pack, move, make arrangements, and travel, interspersed with final exams (again, one of them being the night...

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    True enough, but what I'm most concerned about is whether I'll be allowed to juggle the dates. A buddy of mine going on the same course was told that if he didn't show up for the 30th/1st, he'd have to sit on PAT platoon for 4 months waiting for the next course. That seems a bit extreme to me...

    HEEEEELP!!!!! Posting/Course Date Problem

    I have what I believe might be a big problem: My last exam is on April 29th. My posting date to Gagetown is May 8th. My CAP course message (received AFTER the posting message) states May 1st as the course start date. It also states that I should report the day before the course starts (April...

    2 Great Books (Eastern Front WWII)

    I just played a game like that for a course I took. Myself and another guy were the only students and we hung out in the prof's office for 3 hours on thursdays, playing a simulation of WWII in the Pacific. Great way to earn 3 credits.
