    Freedom isn't free. And I don't have a problem with sites providing leaks until they add enough spin that you could launch yourself into orbit on it. If they simply posted raw info, and allowed people to decide that'd be great. The second they start adding "what we think" information they can die and suffer for their own stupidity.

    Personally, I wish a hands off approach to the internet under purely 1st amendment grounds. "Congress shall make no law..." what part of that do those pinheads not understand

    Well the majority of liberals believe that the constitution is a living, breathing document, as such open to all sorts of wild interpretation. The majority of conservatives believe that the intent of the document is as it's stated. Now if you get into the politics, you'll find that most incumbents are just screwed up and can't think of it in either way; rather the only way they can maintain their job.

    I blame people who don't have a clue about politics, and aren't interested.

    Because "an eye for an eye" is not our law of justice, and we're better than he is.

    Personally I don't look at it that way, more so to the reality that compassion has overcome justice in all senses of the word. There is no "eye for an eye" going on, if there was the state would have killed the same number of his family members as he killed.

    But the AC is right... freedom of speech is no excuse for being ignorant, intolerant and offensive.

    Really now? The AC is wrong. Freedom of speech gives me as much right to insult you, your family, and your religion as I want. It also says you can ignore, or speak up against it too.

    Freedom of speech does not say: "I'm not allowed to insult you, but you can insult me." Which is very quickly becoming the status quo.

    I've got my private investigator and security guard certificate here in Ontario. Which means that for being an investigator, you pay $80 and go through a standard background check. To get both, you pay $160, and have a standard background check. They're both required by law to legally operate in Ontario. Either as a PI, or security guard.

    As for what's considered a weapon in Canada:

    "weapon" means any thing used, designed to be used or intended for use

    You seem to forget that in Canada the GG has official duties which they're required to follow through for the operation of the country. Half of it is public junk the other half is government. Saying that the GG has no power or responsibilities, is the same as saying the PM doesn't lead his party, and isn't responsible for cabinet positions.

Even attempting to believe that northern africa is stable is fool hearty at best. That's about the same as saying there's no debt in greece, and spain isn't about to get a 1T euro bailout.

    Then your friends are boring. I guess I just hang out with more interesting people.

    Cops, lawyers, a nuclear physicist, doctors(one being a neurosurgeon), a couple of veterinarians, a smattering of people who work for RIM and MS here in Canada, 2 retired soldiers and a dyed in the wool lumberjack. Yeah we're pretty boring people, you know simple like most Canucks.

    Actually, we save "fun" for when we see each other in real life and get away from anything connected. But no you don't hang out with interesting people, you hang out with people who are so lonely they crave attention. And that attention comes from putting their lives up for you to see as "interesting".
