One is considered cheating and the other is risk of injury. If the league was more interested in the harmful effects of steroid abuse than the performance edge it gives to athletes then yeah, I can see the issue.

IT"S STORY!!!! STORY, STORY, STORY, STORY, STORY, STORY, STORY! NO "E"! GODAMMIT! F*** THIS S***!!!! Heh- yeah I agree with you totally.

I hope they are both in- I don't want an Asterix beside our Win. I have complete confidence in our O-line.

So much salt in this thread ( not unwarranted mind you) - so there's this to brighten the mood:

IIRC, I think team-wide, there were 5 dropped ints last game.

I don't what is uglier- that play or those Uniforms

I would take Orlando Steinhauer in a heartbeat as a D-coordinator. I think replacing Hall with Steinhauer would make us an instant GC contender.

The spiritual successor to Diablo 2.

And all of Saskatchewan, all the time...

Damn son, Canada ia not supposed to legalize marijuana until next summer...

No one does well with Poop in their face.

Interesting- how do you figure? I am genuinely interested how you came to this conclusion. What facts do you have to back that up? I would be interested in reading a few links if you were to post them.

Sounds like the 2011 iteration of thw Bombers...

I think that's what's at issue- no one is pretty sure.

Is it not also plausible that he couldn't throw the grenade if he was buried under dead bodies?

The definition of ‘Child Soldier’ has two parts: ‘Child’ and ‘Soldier’. No, he is not. At least, not according to the UN laws on the matter (or any other law I am aware of which defines who is, and who is not, a ‘soldier’). The UN laws were written in order to protect the innocent civilians who get in the way of a war first, then the protection of legitimate soldiers second. And, they are very clear on who is and who is not a ‘soldier’ (again – basic Wikipedia search provides clear answers – but much more material confirming this is easily available through any major search engine…): Omar Khadr, unfortunately, does not satisfy these qualifications. Not only was he not a part of a recognized military ‘chain of command’, and not wearing any ‘badges’ or ‘distinctive markings’ that could, even remotely, be construed as ‘uniform’ or ‘fixed distinctive marking’: the crime he is accused of having committed is against the laws and customs of war. ( I can expand on this, at length, if asked, in the comments sections.) Therefore, Omar Khadr DOES NOT satisfy the qualifications of having the status of a ‘soldier’. Therefore, he cannot be treated as a ‘soldier’: a ‘Child Soldier’, an ‘adult soldier’, or any other kind of ‘soldier’. This is a more difficult question – but there is a legal answer! Omar Khadr was aged 15 when he was detained by UN troops and when the premeditated murder of a UN non-combatant medic, which he is accused of having committed, occurred. Different people mature at different rates: at 15, some people really are still children while others are quite adult. Both individual maturing rates and cultural influences are important in determining if a 15-year-old is ‘an adult’ or ‘a child’. What does the law say? Omar Khadr straddled two cultures: In Canada, a 15-year old is, legally, a child. Still, 15-year-olds are able to become emancipated, and legally become adults. Under some circumstances, non-emancipated 15-year-olds are charged with crimes as adults – so the ‘legal precedent’ can be applied both ways: it is a bit of a legal ‘gray area’ in Canada. In Islamist culture, a 15-year-old is considered to be an adult, without any reservations. The Khadr family certainly considers 15 years of age to be ‘adult’ – that is the age at which their daughter was given away in marriage! It is obvious that in his own eyes, as well as according to the culture of his family, Omar Khadr is ‘an adult’. And, in our multicultural society, would it not be offensive to dismiss Omar Khadr’s minority cultural view of his status at that time? OK, ok – so, the ‘multiculturalism’ thing is kind of messed up – and we all know it. Let’s look elsewhere: What does the International Human Rights Law have to say on the subject? (The following is a cut-and-paste of what Wikipedia has to say on this: I usually like to paraphrase things, but I could not hope to make it more clear than they had…) Well, that seems rather clear: once a person has reached the age of 15, he/she cannot be considered to be a ‘Child Soldier’ – even though it’s better to recruit people who are over the age of 18…. 15-year-olds are ‘regular soldiers’! Omar Khadr HAD ‘attained the age of fifteen years’ – so he IS, according to international law, ‘regular soldier’! OK – so we are nowhere closer to the answer of what Omar Khadr actually is: but, I have (hopefully) demonstrated that whatever he is, he is NOT a ‘Child Soldier’! I know – the facts of the situation are unlikely to affect the direction of the public debate…. I have no illusions about it. People who point out the laws and the rules are nowhere near as interesting – and nowhere near listened to – as people who play on our emotions… But, we MUST TRY, mustn’t we? I will take my source of: The Paris Principles which we are signatory to: and The United Nations: over your source. Seriously, I will take my sources of the Paris Principles and the UN over your source of what.... a ******* blog entitled "Xanthippa's Chamberpot"? I'm not even kidding... Xanthippa's Chamberpot... https://blog.xanthippas.com/2009/08/25/omar-khadr-is-not-a-child-soldier-as-per-un-laws/

Hey mark, it didn't show

So, you have nothing .... Awesome. I win.

Please explain how he was not a child soldier. You are welcome to your own opinion, but not your own "facts".

Just because you don't believe in the facts, doesn't mean that they are not true- no matter how hard you plug your ears and scream into the sand. Facts are facts: Not theory. Not fabrications. Not lies. your own personal political/moral beliefs make these facts brought into light or wholly ignored and obfuscate the truth, But facts will remain facts. Just because you don't believe in them- doesn't mean they don't exist. These are facts... choosing to ignore them doesn't make them any less real, it just reinforces one's ignorance.

To be fair he was only 9 years old when his father uprooted them and moved out of Canada...9 yrs old. You make it sound like he willing packed up and moved to Afghanistan to join up with the Taliban... Absolutely this- I agree 100% with this.

If you take facts into consideration, people's views are moot. Seriously, give the above article section a quick read and come back to the table and pick it apart. That would be awesome.

If you would have taken a moment to click on some of those links, you would see that the evidence to convict isn't as rock solid as some would want you to believe. I would link it here... but I know you won't even bother, it doesn't fit your narrative. So I will just quote it here and bold some points for you.

Good read- thanks!
