Well, that's typical London Knights hockey. Two guys grab one guy in every skirmish and beat the crap out of him, no one-on-one action until a cheap advantage has been gained.

@quinoarecipes Hmmmm, I'd beg to differ. Salt (and pepper) are essential seasonings which enhance natural flavours. I wouldn't put anything on a plate which hasn't been properly seasoned, no matter how flavourful it might be in its natural form. That little bit of salt will only make that natural...

You know, they keep talking about "equal opportunity" and "equal access" and "equal time", etc. Yet they're more than willing to jump onto a show and get about 3:1 talking time to Mr. Steyn in these exchanges. I find it odd, when their primary concern is "equal time", they're oh so willing to acc...

3:00 and on: "So, in other words, don't pay any attention to what Mr. Steyn actually said; all that matters is any offense that a Muslim MIGHT take from the very appearance of the articles."

6:45 It's jarring to see honour get the best of the French and refuse to surrender. 100 years later they'd have no problems just fleeing en masse and letting their allies deal with the problem.

@martinbironrules Well, to be honest, you couldn't turn the radio on in 1986 and NOT hear this song.

Great singer. You'd think she'd be able to afford better clothes than a modified potato sack.

@ScunneredMan As THE national anthem? No, that is and should always be God Save the Queen (or Queen). But this particular version of Scotland the Brave (there are less militaristic versions) certainly gives adequate voice to Scotland's history and certainly should stand in as an unofficial "anthe...

@Revfiskj I quite agree with that point, however to make things more clear and functional, in my Greek classes we HAD to translate anthrwpos as "human" or "human being" unless we could justify why it should should mean "men", which we were taught has a specifically male connotation in English. An...

"Why are we always late to class?"

I didn't have high expectations for this, but in this trailer I was really impressed with just how good the impersonations are. Moe actually really sounds like Moe. I doubt the content will be Three Stooges-funny, but the acting behind it looks to be right where it should be.

@jewinthecity Keep in mind that some Christian beliefs agree with large parts of your presentation. Protestants of the Reformed position certainly acknowledge Satan as a vessel of God's purposes. We do confess Satan's position as fundamentally being an enemy, not merely a tester, though - yet in ...

So Jimmy Carter basically pulled the rug out from under the American Revolution. Interesting approach.

Sure, people with massive amounts of wealth and celebrity do just fine in socialist countries. They can afford to go to all the nice spots, get treated like royalty, etc. The common man who pays for all that stuff with confiscatory tax rates cannot do so.

I've LIVED under a socialist government,...

@maartenMLMS Too bad she didn't make a "complete misery" of teachers' lives, or you might have arrived at a point in your life where you knew that the past participle of "to make" is "made", not "maid".

People's lives were in misery when she took power; when she left, not so much. But you obviou...

@brentrivera We could discuss this all day, but I'd say she's less "dorky" than "eccentric" or "quirky". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. She just does her thing and it's up to you whether you like it or not - which is fairly courageous in this field.

A little research can help, Michael. I had a blood pressure spike up to 210/140 and almost stroked out. 1 hour before I saw a doctor - and that's the highest urgency. My wife was miscarrying and went into a big hospital at midnight. 6 hour wait. I sliced my finger open and needed one single stitc...

@latuman I was just pointing out a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept.

I suppose I should not expect more from a mindset derived and justified by Family Guy.

Oh, no. The horror. The tragedy. Seals who otherwise eat all the fish they can and are in turn eaten by whales or sharks are, instead, eaten by humans. And, as such, save the rapidly depleting fish stocks. Oh, such a travesty.

@TheRaptorRapture I think you have to play in more than every third game or so to be an All-Star. You don't get to be an All-Star in civvies on the bench, so there is no way, no how Andrea Bargnani should be an All-Star.

However, if he were actually not spending the majority of the season on the...

@NotjustGrey The Liberals knew there was a deficit when they took power. They proceeded to quadrouple it in the space of a couple of years, and now have spending simply out of control, and accomplishing nothing.

I yearn for the days of MIke Harris again - you know, when people worked, taxes were...

@eugenmichailow The average Russian would do far better reading English than a North American would at reading Russian. Part of that is pure accident; English language is still a dominant language in international culture and trade and like it or not, you'll be exposed to it no matter where you l...

"Don't say the words you shouldn't be talkin' about." - Oak's command over the English language is a constant.

@UrukEngineer You know, for a guy claiming to be so logical, you throw out a lot of ad hominem rhetoric. Notice how I don't have to resort to that? And the misrepresentation: "Religion brooks no scrutiny" - yeah, I guess the Reformation never happened, huh? Honestly - you don't realize absolute s...

@hilletehnoob What are you talking about? Are you that ignorant? He confessed everything at his trial; he just said that it wasn't his responsibility, he was just following orders. So how could there be no holocaust if the chief architect of it not only admitted he did it, but admitted that there...

@MrStillmans Whoa, I think you miss the point. It wasn't the ball per se that was the issue, it was the betrayal of Sean's father by stealing it and running away. The parents were very good; it was the son who was rotten. Don't forget the mother rejected the ball when it was given back to her; if...

Newman: "Sometimes we're going to get flat-out boned." I think I might actually watch this show if it were really on.

@Gaurav9710 Not really unfair. The exposure that guys like Drew Carey give to pro wrestling with their appearances is huge, and the business wouldn't be what it is without them. It gives a lot of credibility to the business and gets other celebs thinking, "hmmmm, that looks like fun" and gets the...

@polypride34 Nah, the "word" - as in, the scriptures. :)
