Re: Nice Planet 2012

It's all about priorities. :mad:

On the surface this doesn't look like a good one for junior hockey in Canada.

Brian Cranford, coach of the Mount Pearl Junior Blades was suspended for a year and fined $2,000 by Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador for his team's failure to show up for the opening ceremony of a tournament.

Cranford told CBC News that his players were studying and he advised officials that his team would not be present for the opening.

I'm not entirely sure, of course, but I think the coach is blowing smoke. Let's see, with the exchange rate (according to "Canadian Bacon,") that two grand fine in American money is 37.95.

Actually, at the current rate, 2,000.00 CAD = 1,940.64 USD :p

Either way, it's a fair chunk of change on Newfie! ;)
 
Re: Nice Planet 2012

I think I know what you mean, duper, but I disagree. Standing for the Pledge is merely showing respect for the country and those people around you. Placing your hand over your heart makes you a participant in it - tacitly agreeing with the Pledge. I'm not asking her to take the Pledge, just stand and show respect for those that are and the country it represents. It is similar to proper etiquette when a national anthem is played: stand and remove your hat. I assume you do that when Oh, Canada is played (assuming you are American). It doesn't make you a Canadian or even a Canadian sympathizer, it just means you are showing respect to Canada and Canadians.

I don't like this, but I also think that the idiots who are mad that she doesn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance are just as intolerant and ignorant as she is.

What are the "idiots" doing that's either intolerant or ignorant?
 
Re: Nice Planet 2012

Not sure if this belongs here or the genuinely nice planet thread. :rolleyes:

A Texas father caught a man sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him, authorities said.

You might start by showing respect to your own.

When people like you and... might as well drag out the tried and true, stop getting any kind of respect, I might.

Perhaps your tiny mind can explain what the bleep she has to do with this. Other, of course, than your continuing monomania. Whatever respect I get I've earned, in part by putting up with whiney little shizas like you.

You get very little respect then. Which is all you deserve.
