Hey, at least the parents didn't go TOTALLY over the top and name the kid 'Tim'. That would have been the ultimate in cheese-factor. ;D

I know I'm jumping into this conversation kind of late, but I think that MCG raises a valid question. And this is all anecdotal of course....but I know of many people who would ultimately consider themselves 'Christian' if asked directly, but don't actively attend church on a regular basis. It...

Seriously?? That's the actual wording they use? Who are these clowns?  ::)

Have you considered finishing your degree and going regular force? Either way, I've heard only great things about the Argylls. I know a certain corporal from that unit...just look for the one who's always challenging the rest of the guys to a grappling match and calls himself 'hardmore-core'...

Swedish and Polish. Both sound hard as hell to me, but I've always been horrible at picking up other languages. That includes French, for the reasons you mentioned!

In all fairness...I never claimed to be perfect either. But English was one of my better subjects. Better than math, but that doesn't say much. ;) I've been told by many people that English is one of the hardest to learn as a second language. Way too many exceptions, double-meanings, slang...

I'm not a teacher so I'm definitely not an expert....but could youths ever really write in the *first* place? I went to school with a lot of people whom struggled with English class, and I work with people now who are my age and still can't form a proper sentence or spell simple words. Are the...

Wow. As if growing up isn't difficult enough ALREADY. THANKS, mom and dad. You suck.  :D

:tsktsk: Racial profiling..!

I didn't need mine when I recently went for my Reserve testing. I can only speak for myself, though. You should seriously hurry up and get a new health card though.

That was a great read. Inspiring! :)

It's also not nearly as exciting in print or as a sound byte.

Those are some of the scariest pictures I've seen in a long time. Not entirely surprised, but disturbed....quite.  :o Here's my stupid question for the day (don't mind me folks, I'm the ignorant agnostic): why the obsession with those who *aren't* part of your religion?? i.e. this whole idea of...

Yes. I'm sure they're going to make TONS of headway with those last two points there.  ;D

I know it's already been commented on, but just wanted to throw in my two cents. As a 5'2" female who's 115lbs, I've been able to do some astounding things with this small physique. You just have to work and train hard...and it *is* mainly a mental game. Best of luck in your application!

Meh. If they're not doing it on their own accord, I wouldn't necessarily consider them "productive" members of society. ::shrug::

He got eaten by the wolf..? ;D

Trust me, I'd be pretty annoyed if I were in your situation as well. I don't want *anyone* pushing their beliefs on me, whether they're Muslim, Christian....Vegetarian. But mby your own admission, other than being a 'tad annoyed', I don't see what all the fuss is about. You have the right to...

Well, I agree it would be dishonest to say that it has absolutely NO influence on youths who are involved. Those who have been exposed to the organization might take more of an interest in the military, depending on how much they enjoyed their cadet experience. But the article seems to imply...

Keep in mind that they are allowed to express their displeasure at your "god" remarks, just as you feel it is your right to express your displeasure at their displeasure. Er....I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this...  :D NOW, if your workplace implemented a policy which prohibited you...
