The crime I think, is that this made the news.
When I was younger and mischevious...er. I stole a hell of a lot of signs, from for sale signs to road signs and everything between, I was just a dumb kid who thought he could impress his friends by taking signs, I never really thought of the...
Hey, I'm 18 and know about 20 of those, not bad in my mind. Unfortunately vehicles are my downfall at the moment, but I'm learning. Give me a break I've only been driving a few months.
Just watched it. I thought it was pretty damn good. It's unfortunate that this battle isn't heard about more in Canada or at the very LEAST mentioned by teachers in our schools. The Battle of the Medak Pocket truly shows the courage the Canadian soldiers had when they could have just turned and...
Sorry Infidel, I should have clarified what I meant and looked over how I was saying it, but you are totally correct and that's basically what I had in mind when I posted.
I was thinking about the article and read it again, and judging by what Stevens claims, or what the article claims,
"Stevens claims he is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, suffered since a tour in Afghanistan drove him to alcohol and drugs."
That doesn't say directly that he is...
I was 12 years old going into my first couple weeks of Grade 7. It's especially odd to me that even at that age I knew that the world was changing in a matter of seconds. My dad woke me up and said, "The World Trade Centers are on fire Clayton," and I was sort of slow getting out of bed...
Well, I think you guys are getting too caught up in stuff like fact vs opinion. What is with that? I mean, this article is clearly true if you pretend that such trivial things like facts don't exist. ;D
What about when you accidentally demote someone when you meant to promote them? I kind of feel bad because I did that to someone just now. Is there any way it can be fixed?
You know what? I don't think that people even CAN argue the morals of the mission without taking another situation in a different country that is possibly worse, and saying we are bad people for not going there instead of Afghanistan, like VC2007 and other protesters do. The more I think of the...
+1 to that. On the bold part, you could say that sometimes it almost isn't entirely the ignorant people's fault that they are ignorant due to conflicting media and people who SOUND convincing like VC2007, but really aren't making up a whole argument.
+1
He sure did get his audience, 32 pages...
I think that it's important to ask yourself if you have actually learned anything from this 32 page argument. When I used to be in the 'anti-war no matter what' crowd, I began to realize that I wouldn't absorb any of the facts or beliefs that came from the other side, I would always just brush...
The 'bystander effect' is something that I think effects all humans to some degree, at least in this society. I think it's more or less everybody expects somebody else to fix the problem. When they see something happening, they try to justify their inaction irrationally with stuff like, "It's...
Do you think that them bombing us in our homeland will strengthen the Canadian people's resolve against the Taliban/Al Qaeda? Or weaken it? Obviously I don't want Canadian soil to be attacked. But it's a question I find myself asking after reading those articles.
Many antiwar protesters will...
Not to defend the bystanders (Lack of) action, because it is not excusable. But do you think maybe the reason for this is the so called 'bystander effect'?

To me it seems that there are a lot of news peices where people seem to be hurt in public...
Just saw this today, I did a search and I hope it was thorough enough.

It seems as though the citizens in some areas of Rio have taken matters in their own hands. I don't know much about Brazil or the issues the country...
