Perfectly fine in fact a nice philosophical statement. However, that's not really what Ms. O'Donnell is doing. She has indeed stated opinions not just said that she has questions. Free speech is a wonderful right, however there are several points to be made about this - a right of free...

Ms. O'Donnell is yet another not very well educated, entertainment celebrity who is obsessed by her own self importance. Being an actor or actress doesn’t mean that you can’t be well educated and well informed about a particular topic, however such people generally are not the members of the...

Border Agents on both the U.S. and Canadian sides routinely profile. If you cross fairly frequently under different circumstances: Single male, family, group of men, on business, ordinary car, car that might be a "grey market vehicle" etc. . . you can clearly see some of the differences...

A U.S. Citizen can not be denied reentry into the U.S., however, they can certainly detain you for reasonable questioning or arrest you if there is a violation of law. But deny you entry no.

Sometimes they just have random days when they decide to go full bore at a particular border crossing. It's part of the "unpredictability thing" so that the 'bad guys' can't find a spot where it's "easier to cross." It's a pain in the ass . . . but.

They are the Feds. Basically a Border Patrol Agent has almost unlimited power if investigating possible illegal border crossing, possible immigration violations, possible customs violations etc. . . within sixty miles of the border. If you are a U.S. Citizen, Permanent Resident Alien or...

But for how long does this go on? One could perhaps make a convincing argument in 1964 but in 2007?

I must have been on a Crazy Bender (despite not using non-prescription drugs) on September 11, 2001. And, I could swear that the Taliban were sheltering OBL before and after 9/11. Of course, we all know how the average Afghani really is longing for the return of the Taliban.

Some interesting new comments I've come across regarding James Cameron's "find." Cameron has been promoting his television program as offering "tangible, physical, archeological and in some cases forensic evidence” for the existence of Jesus. As The Right Rev. N.T. Wright, Bishop of Durham...

Guess I won't see you in church this Sunday.:rolleyes:

A very simplistic observation would be that people typically aren't willing to be persecuted and martyred for something they haven't experienced to be true. And as C.S. Lewis wrote: "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He...

That one got by Florida DMV:rolleyes:

True, and they are very superstitious about it.

Actually that's a late sixth century Roman Catholic construct. The Eastern (Orthodox) Church never has believed this, always keeping separate the three women: Mary of Bethany (sister of Martha and Lazarus), Mary Magdalene, and the "sinner" of Luke 7:36-50. None of the Synoptic Gospels name...

As H. L. Mencken famously said "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the [American or Canadian] people." I don't know much about making movies and I suspect that James Cameron doesn't know much about Middle Eastern Archaeology. It's too bad since the Discovery...

It is the general consensus of New Testament Scholars that 666 stands for the Roman Emperor Nero, who was noted for his persecutions. In Hebrew each letter corresponds with a number adding the numbers for the Hebrew transliteration of Nero Caesar, Neron Kaiser yields 666.

The pertinent section of the criminal code reads "procures, attempts to procure or solicits a person to have illicit sexual intercourse with another person, whether in or out of Canada" The rest of this section deals with "bawdy houses" or bringing someone to Canada for the purpose of...

1) The article discusses U.S. not Canadian law enforcement efforts. 2) Outcall is legal in Canada and I for one don't see any politcal will to change that. 3) the political and cultural climates in Salt Lake City, Utah and Montréal, Québec are dramatically different.

G.G. you're changing the "ground rules" at that point. It sounded from your original post that you feel that under current law you feel MERB will be shut down. To which I'd say can I get in on a piece of the lawsuit because the Crown (City of Montreal or Feds - or whoever would loose) . Now...

One also has to ask oneself whether she was the stupidest N.C.O. in the U.S.A.F. How with a strait face can she say that she didn't think the U.S. Air Force would take disciplinary action against her - come on get real.
