KFC makes a mockery of the UN
This probably goes down as the greatest publicity stunt I've seen a major company do in quite some time. :lol: At the same time, it paints quite a sad and seriously worrying picture of security at U.N. headquarters. UNITED NATIONS -- Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major ...

Re: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor discussion thread
Sounds pretty good. I've always liked Stover's work. I wish they got him to do more. I might pick it up and read my first SW novel since Dark Lord.

Re: Canadian Federal Conservatives may trigger another election
I wish everyone (Conservatives, Libs, NDP, Bloc) would just stop fucking around and actually do the jobs they were elected to do.

Re: Any other York University students?
I'm a York student at Schulich, and I'm pretty pissed off about this whole thing. The fact that CUPE refuses to go into binding arbitration with the school shows that they're full of shit. The only reason they keep turning down a 3-year deal with 9.25% pay increases is because CUPE wants a 2-year de...

I personally think Dion's Carbon Tax idea will torpedo Liberal chances in this election, just like how John Tory's retarded Faith-based schools idea completely sunk the Ontario PCs campaign against Dalton McGuinty last year. I cannot fathom how Dion badly will perform in the leaders debate against t...

1. Started the year off with a huge rejection. The girl I had feelings for promptly decided to move to China without telling anyone. 2. Finished first year of uni more or less in one piece. Made some very good friends with similar interests. 3. Managed to find an enjoyable if a bit boring job as a s...

I would have liked to definitely see more clones on both sides of the conflicts and more actual devastation. Clones grown through Spaarti Cloning Cylinders were built up by the EU as a major force in the wars. Dreadnaughts in AOTC and VSDs in ROTS would have been good, as the Victory would have serv...

What a complete joke of an option John Tory was for this election. I hope he's booted as leader as quickly as possible so the Ontario PCs can get on with having someone with half a brain that doesn't have a consistent track record of running horrendous campaigns that result in total humiliation (Kim...

That's a funny one, considering that the national debt was around $160B when Trudeau left office and had gone up to $480B or so by the time Mulroney was done with the mess. Also of note, Mulroney was in power during the greatest economic upswing since the post WWII boom and he still managed to rack...

The deficit mess that the Chretien government cleaned up was actually started by the free-wheeling government of Pierre Trudeau from the 1970s and 1980s. The size of the deficit relative to GDP was actually at its largest point when Trudeau left office in 1984, something like 9% IIRC. The Mulroney g...

Someone needs to write a research thesis to find the correlation, if any, between the length of the marriage and how elaborate the wedding was. My parents didn't even have a wedding, they were married at City Hall. They've been together for 30 years. :D As for things that piss me off: Bad drivers. ...
