I remember one year in Calgary doing a static display for the "Stay in School" program there - no problems for us, usually intelligent questions, my friend on the Leopard though, "How many people can this kill?", "How many people have you Killed?" questions came up alot.

We also told people that the packaged up bridge was a tactical nuke launcher.  My buddy liked to tell people it was a 1000 slice toaster.

MSN speak?? ... we don't like to type

It's original.

What the heck is "tmmrw" --- ??

I already know the answer; we just try to keep away from MSN speak around these parts is all.

I agree.  Your inability to master spelling of simple words like "tomorrow" is quite stupid.  Almost everyone else on this forum manages to use their command of official languages effectively.  One might say, in accordance with site guidelines.

Shame you just couldn't take the advice from a member and leave it at that.  Instead you followed through on the burning desire to make an *** of yourself here.

We (some of us) don't like to type for a good reason.
It's all we do @ work all day, 5 days a week, 45 hours a week.
Remember, I am a civilian.
And I do beleive, that every word that I typed in my post, was complete.
I was just sticking up for the person who was criticized for shorthanding "tomorrow"

Review your posts.

Note the "diff". 

Meanwhile, there are TONNES of civilians on this site and yet, they too manage to utilize proper grammar and language (and get the same when they do not); it is NOT an official DND or CF site. It also happens to be "privately owned and operated" and that gentleman has some ground rules which the good mod already pointed out to you. I too, even though I am not a civilian, spend about 40 hours a week typing - at work and then I come here and type properly too. Why? Because it is one of the rules of this site.

One of which is no MSN speak. You'll also note that in my post you quoted - that I wrote "I already know the answer". You see, I too have teenage children who use MSN speak - the point was correcting a member on their (repeated) use of MSN on this site which is not allowed by the site guidelines.

I hope you have a great day and happy typing.

Edited to add: It was also a correction of a member made two years ago - I think I was a mod still when it was done.

The dumbest thing I heard to day is you.

Civilian? Whats that got to do with the price of fish?

Good english, along with proper grammar and punctuation is simply called being educated and putting that to good use in front of other like minded people.

Man claims cow seduced him for sex

An 18-year-old Indonesian man says he was seduced by a cow, and that's why he was having sex with it.

A neighbour caught Gusti Ngurah Alit allegedly wooing the farm animal on Sunday, the village chief on the resort island of Bali said, the Times newspaper in Johannesburg, South Africa reported Friday.

"He was caught by one of the residents standing naked while holding the back of the cow," village chief Embang Ida Bagus Legawa said in the newspaper.

Alit said he didn't see an animal, he saw a beautiful young woman.

"She called my name and seduced me, so I had sex with her," the man told the newspaper.

Alit underwent a cleansing ritual. The village chief gave the owner of the cow the equivalent of $562.

The cow was reportedly drowned in the sea to rid the village of bad luck.

Aha!  There's always more to the story!

So do you play Call of Duty?

And if so are you really good at it? 


Seriously having done a lot of those "meet the public dog and pony shows" in my time I do remember the assine questions.

I played Call of Duty 4 once with a friend of mine from high school who moved to Vancouver shortly after I did... Needless to say, I now know why I stick to mountain biking and kayaking... I'm good at one but not the other 

But yes, I do count my blessings. One day I will be a one of those battle-hardended (maybe  ) grumpy Sergeants at the CFLRS... and some of those kids will come through  That would make my day and a half!

This is exactly what I mean when I say to people, "Things could be worse".


My entry for this thread:

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=steven+paul+boone+ottawa&meta=&aq=1&aqi=g6g-s1g1g-s1g1&aql=&oq=steven+pau&gs_rfai=

There's a local case in Ottawa of a someone who knowingly put others at risk for HIV infection (an 18 year old got it, possibly others) through non-disclosure. The police put up a picture of this individual to warn others who may have had contact, and there are people who are upset about it, saying "OMG his privacy is being invaded," or "OMG it's discriminatory" which is stupid because he gave up his right to privacy when he decided to recklessly endanger other lives. 

Apparently, it's more imortant to protect the rights of some selfish scumbag than the public's safety.

I don't know what's worse; the fact that he did it, or the fact that people are trying to defend him.

http://www.ottawasun.com/news/2010/05/15/13962896.html has a lengthy writeup on this.

Seems that the Gay and Lesbian Rights and the Civil Rights folk all think that it infringes on the rights of the HIV infected person who doesn't inform their sexual partners of their infection.   I wonder if the same would be true if: "Seems that the Gay and Lesbian Rights and the Civil Rights folk all think that it infringes on the rights of the serial killer who doesn't inform their murder victimsof their tendencies.   

Victims, it would appear, have no Civil Rights.

Thanks for the link.  MAN, some of those comments in that article are RETARDED...

"And even if Boone’s intent was criminal, which Elliott notes is yet to be proven in court, he sees little benefit in what amounts to “putting up a wanted poster” for a man already in police custody."

Easy, it's so people can know if they may have been at risk themselves so they can get checked and prevent spreading it to others...DUH.


"Jeremy Dias, an outspoken gay rights activist and the founder of Jer’s Vision, an award-winning youth diversity initiative, said e-mails began circulating through the community under the subject heading: “Don’t get tested or you will get arrested.”

Yeah, never get tested, that will help everyone's cause.   

“What we find problematic is demonizing and criminalizing someone who has HIV, saying, ‘If you infect someone, you’re a criminal.’ We see this man being crucified on the altar of protecting the community and when we look into his eyes, we see ourselves.”"

FFS!!! It's not the act of infecting someone that's criminal, it's that he was dishonest and took away the victim's right to make an informed choice.

Are these the same clowns who'll run at you with a bottle of disinfectant and soap when you sneeze? 

[Technoviking]

This is just insane.  "They" wish to be treated the same as you or I get greated.  If I were to run around and infect a bunch of women with some STI/STD/VD, and if I knew that I were infected and failed to tell my sexual partners about this, and if I failed to take precautions, I'm certain I'd be rightfully villified for it.  But "they" are gay, and "must be" the object of discrimination.  In actual fact, they are demanding discrimination: different or special treatment due to their sexual orientation. 

Do the "rights people" not seem to care about the victim? 

[George Wallace]

Do the "rights people" not seem to care about the victim?

Sadly in Canada victims seem to have no rights.

[Technoviking]

Then they don't care for the individual suffering the tyrrany of the majority, as it were.  That, of course is Liberal Democracy in action.

There's this blog I stumbled apon once that is pushing to have the act of putting others at risk de-criminalized, and in turn, letting Boone get away with what he did to his victims..

They basically beleive that making it illegal to non-disclose or otherwise put people at risk for getting diseased is somehow discriminatory, discourages people from getting treated, etc.  I can picture a jilted ex-lover framing someone for blackmail, but let's be honest, how can you let someone like Carl Leone or Jennifer Murphy get away with this?  Do these people really beleive they should be able to risk/ruin others lives and not be punished?

Some people, are really naive and stupid.  It's not discriminating against the HIV community, because we're trying to protect people like that 18 year old who wa infected by Boone.  It's called justice.   That poor young man now has it, and his life is forever changed.  I feel terrible for the victims.   But no, we should be more worried about the person who did it to him.....

And let's not forget the people who are mad at the Toronto police over the G20 disaster.  God forbid people want their city protected from a bunch of destructive university dropout retards with time to kill and a hunger for attention.

Of course every one will remember this quote:

" the minority will not be dictated to by the majority"

What he meant to say

"The minorities WILL dictate to the majority"

[Crockett]

"Do you think they will let me exchange these NCD pants?"
"Whats wrong with them?"
"Theres a burn mark on the back."
"You left the iron on them?"
"Ummmm... no... I lite one of my farts..."

At least he didn't do it bare arsed  .
