I'd say one of the big problems there is that the troops he is embedded with are not there to act as his bodyguards if he decides to wander off and have a sit down with Taliban troops.

Catholics are not for the most part Bible literalists, but there are a significant number of Evangelicals out there who take it quite literally. Here's a great video that discusses "open-mindedness" and explains it better then me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T69TOuqaqXI

The bar for science is called "peer review". Any paper or opinion published is just ink on paper until it goes through the peer review process regardless of the letters after the author's name. Please find and post peer reviewed science that supports a young earth model.

I haven't read the actual bill, but from the article the wording seems to imply that parents can pull their children from class when ANY subject matter being taught conflicts with their religion. Evolution itself is touched on in history in biology, and general science classes. Now what happens...

I've seen "airsoft" replicata plates that are made of plastic, are hollow, and can be filled with sand to simulate weight. No clue where I saw them though.

I've seen them in stock at CRAFM, but supply comes and goes and not much is coming into Canada these days. You'd probably have more luck asking over on Canadiangunnuts.com. 

This is probably the most important statement in that story: He consented to the wiretapping as a condition of release. Voila, discussion over. Then there's this gem: Really? And how are they supposed to know she is really his lawyer and that it's really her on the phone? How are they...

Their website has a link to airsoft and replica gear suppliers, what more do you need to know about these clowns?

The selection of the scenario sounds very PC to me. Couldn't they come up with something a little more relevant to the current world situation? I know ice storms happen, but would this not be better training if it was focused on say a massive NBCW threat or event?

I think the selection of Palin as VP was a major cause of the Republican loss. The “base” she supposedly appealed to would vote Republican no matter what so I think that argument falls flat. She costs the Republicans the election by ostracizing the growing number of moderate voters who value...

Here's a quote that I like from Yukiyoshi Takamura on pacifism:

Well, I'd be willing to bet that was the intent and I agree: it's a profound statement.

So Canadian soldiers make more money then American soldiers. This is news? We've always made more money as far back as I can remember.
