No, better idea...prepare for an invasion of Saskatchewan! Unless Lorne Calvart renames Regina "Winnipeg West," then we might be able to talk...

Reply to Worst Star Trek Character in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Hmmmm, hard to say...half of the characters from Enterprise, Chakotay did the least (he would be on the ship when Janeway was doing something, and occasionally try to tell her she's wrong and get overruled, you'd think that the First Officer would get more attention), and the other half of the characters from Enterprise. Best character? Has to be one of the originals, Scotty or Kirk

Reply to Your all time favorite video/computer game is... [what]? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I love classic games, Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite, and I'm also a fan of Tetris, and the Kirby series (yes, he does suck), and that good old Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt that every NES owner has...can't beat a good old 2D sidescroller like Kirby or SMB...1943 was also a good one For the computer, a WW1 aircraft game, Wings of Glory, was my favorite game (back in the pre-pentium/Windows 95 era, a good old 486 running 3.11) Hearts

Reply to So, No One Has Any Opinions About The New Palestine? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, I read a few weeks ago that Hamas has dropped destruction of Israel form its manifesto, and everyone's favorite Fatah used to be committed to the destruction of Israel, so although I'm still cautious, I don't think this is going to be WW3. Hopefully Israel will soon get a government that is willing to continue with the peace process (Peretz?). Besides, the Palestinians have a right to vote for whoever they want to, and they chose to punish Fata

Reply to I Look Like HER? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I was watching the National last night, and they had a biography of Stephen Harper. They showed a pic of him in his high school days, and it looks just like me. I have the same hair Stephen Harper had. That's just scary I couldn't find a picture of him when he was my age, but I just hope I don't look like this when I'm 46: <img src="http://img22.imagesh

Reply to Deism in Religion JoeUser Forums

I'm an atheist, and I try to live my life to the "moral code" of maximizing good and minimizing harm. Basically, don't be a jerk if you can't help it. And there isn't anything I really worship, and what I value most is people, not god(s).

Reply to IS THE USA READY FOR A LONG WAR in History JoeUser Forums

Although, I must say that US might has made a lot of right in the last 100 years. This would be an awfully different world without it. Yes it would. 200,000 people wouldn't have died in a civil war in Guatemala. Salvador Allende wouldn't have died on Sept. 11, 1973. Augusto Pinochet would never have

I have to disagree with your report card on latour. I personally give him a full "A". While we disagree on a great number of issues, every one of latour's responses that I can remember has been on topic, insightful, and relevant. Thanks, Gid. I would also give you an A or A+ for basically the same reas
