I had the pleasure of growing up with Shawn before he moved out west. He was always the nicest, most happy-go-lucky, most genuine guy you could ask to know. He was a good friend. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family, I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. RIP...

Ex-Dragoon, While rules regarding Archepelagic (sp?) waters may apply (and I personally believe that they should) there are also rules in international maritime law regarding straits. Under such laws no country may limit access to a strait, ie., it's to be considered international waters. An...

Kat, I have seen a video of the bridge. IIRC they called it "galloping Gerty" or something to that effect. It's absolutely amazing. I remember watching the video and thinking that it was amazing just how much like waves the surface looked. The peaks and valleys were several meters appart. Kind...

I have a quick question, On the home page for this site, in the recently uploaded picture column to the left of the screen there's a picture of flag poles at Khe San. One of the flags appears to be a Canadian flag, and I was wondering what the significance of this flag is? Thanks, P

There's no Universities in Barry. Georgian College is there IIRC, but no University. There's Trent University in Peterborough, York in the North of Toronto. Those are about the two closest. p

Infanteer, I agree with you. Forming opinions based on what you read, and then changing those opinions when you read something else is how your argument evolves. I would just be very cautious about how early you let your opinion become your thesis. It could add another form of bias into your...

My concern isn't with regard to her lack of real world experience, but is about her research methodology. UBC has made a conscious decision to call their department "Political Science", not "Politics". To the uninitiated this might seem like mere semantics, but it plays a very important role in...
