If you think that this is what the average youth aspires to this and admires this, than a) you're out of your mind or b) our society is screwed or c) you miscommunicated what you were trying to say I really hope the answer is c).

Krista Erickson on the National. She's quite the looker and she has quite the news anchor voice to fit the part: http://macleans.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/kristaerickson.jpg

Yeah, really bad compared to homeless-free Rio that just hosted the games :rolleyes: On this side of the Atlantic, we look like paradise in this respect.

Plus an LRT system on major roads! That'd be quite something :)

I think what Obama has been, is a centrist. You can tell he's into a good compromise, but the problem with that is that a good compromise leaves everyone unsatisfied. At this point, neither the government, nor the American public want to suddenly abandon the Afghan war. I like the idea behind...

One of the greatest differences between Islam and Christianity is that Muhammad never said this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+22%3A15-22&version=KJV

^ I think it'd be because of your first reason, Mark, of why this isn't built. Of all the possible infrastructure projects that this region could do, that one should be very near the bottom. How about deal with the Gardiner, or DRL first?

I once met a biologist that told me that Darwin was full of shit. Those climatologists that you're referring to must the equivalent of that biologist I met: They passed the tests in school, but really don't have a clue. Or they like to stir the pot. If you ask any reputable scientist, the...

You mean that all those ugly towers that khristopher posts aren't gunna get built! What a shame!! :eek:

And why not remove the Gardiner while we're at it? How about some electric trains instead of that thing? :)

dt: that's very true. Beck's a funny guy. The line when he starts crying and sobs, " I'm sorry, I just love my country... but I fear for it!", made me bust out laughing. What spoils the fun is that some people take him seriously.

The ice caps as well as countless glaciers have are no longer in existence as well as the tireless studies of some of the most presigious scientists in the world. Tell me about it after you get your PhD in environmental science from Harvard. Some guy ranting on youtube can hardly count as...

Yeah, but these are people who did their own research and weren't told by anybody what do believe. They don't have political agendas or aren't told what to do. Thousand of studies have confirmed this. But then again, there are people who think the earth is flat, there's no such thing as an atom...

Yeah, but for every one of those people there are 20 who don't think that way. I'm sorry, but I'm of the belief that the United Nations and the thousands of scientists it takes its advice from over a minute amount of theorists that would have me believe that the swine-flu vaccine is some sort of...

I guess we're just more of an urban nation than we give credit. Christopher Hume has been ranting about this for years.

What I disagree with that sentiment is that the rise of other cities cause the fall of others. Just because one city gains promenance and better quality of life doesn't hurt the other cities of the same country. In fact, I'd argue that the opposite happens. Since Toronto's growth since the 70s...

^ Oh my God. A rational thought... How shocking.

Were ranked higher than Chicago and Mexico City in that one. I wonder what that'll do to our inferiority complex.

Of course we're a global city. We're a city. And we're listed on the globes being produced today. What more is there to it?

The reason he closed it was because it WAS pointless: if was just going to turn into a cess-pool of trolling and bitching. You think the TTC is awful. Great. Now what are we suppost to discuss? Why don't you create a thread on how to make a better TTC? What do you think about the magement...
