  1. No, this is why you are being taken to task. You're taking lay people using data incorrectly and fear mongering to attack the scientific consensus. That's not what the consensus is, the consensus is that something greater than 90% of climate change articles in peer reviewed journals all agree on warming and less than 10% are against it. That's actual scientists who actually studied it in peer reviewed papers. It's 90% to 10% or maybe even more I don't know the exact numbers. That is the consensus people talk about, not celebrities like Al Gore and Leo DeCaprio talking out their asses.
  2. Oh please, the fans aren't shut out because the media doesn't actually give the fans the info they want. The media in Winnipeg likes to create a story then go looking for quotes to support it.
  3. The media in Winnipeg hasn't earned the right to talk to the coordinators. They all try and lead people down a path of answering questions in a specific way to fit their pre-determined story. If they would ask decent questions and not leading questions I bet the media would have access, but this way O'Shea can keep the media pricks in line. They want access they can start to be professionals and do their jobs well. They are the most entitled self important assholes going through and they simply hate when someone tells them no.
  4. Bowman still puts a pile of balls on the ground, he just gets thrown to a million times a game so he pads his stats.
  5. But your point makes no sense. If you're trying to argue that the science is contradictory then you can't pull up bullshit stuff like Al Gores documentary as evidence of that. That's not bad science, that's a celebrity pushing a cause using bad science and alarmist bullshit to do it which is totally different from the consensus that is out there. This is why people are calling out your arguments, but you're taking it as personal insults instead.
  6. Seriously using Al Gore? The guy isn't a scientist and his documentary was filled with poor science and everyone knew it. It was alarmist bullshit.
  7. There are quite a lot of people who believe Kopitar is actually better than Toews... is your assessment based on unbiased thoughts or are you just a big Toews fan dismissing another good player because he's not Toews? If Kopitar was from Canada (or played in a non west coast market) people would look at differently.
  8. Look, you can be a giant jerk here, that's fine. You are just like every single other warm-monger I know, who just twists words and then calls you names if you dare disagree with the bogus "consensus". What I said was that there have been zero predictions about man-made climate change that have come true. Zero. So why is that if the "science" is so solid? That's all I said. I didn't mention evolution or gravity, so why even bring them up? The reason evolution comes up is because you are using a similar style of arguing that creationists use to argue evolution. It's dressed up as being rational and logical and yes even scientific, but it's really not. The bogus consensus is not wrong, the thing about science is that it's constantly evolving as new information comes along. A lot of the predictions you like to claim as bogus were always intended to be worst case scenarios so that alone gives flexibility as to what did or didn't actually happen.
  9. Pessimist =/= realist.
  10. Except that Miami was supposed to be under water several years ago, and it still hasn't happened. If the science is "solid", why has every single prediction made by said "science" been dead wrong? There is sooo much wrong in these two post- all you get is a snide remark, sorry. I am starting to expect a few gems from you two: -the earth is only 6000 yrs old- dinosaur bones? those were put here as God's test or the devil to trick us -Gravity has not been proven, it's only a theory. -Evolution? Just a theory, unless you include mud or clay as a point of origin. -Earth is round? Come on! -Earth goes around the sun? MADNESS! Just saying, "every single prediction made by said "science" been dead wrong?" gives us a clear indication where you two are coming from- there really is no room at the grown up table for you two, you guys get relegated to the kiddie table. But gravity is just a theory... It's actually not one of the things anti-science people say, it's used to try and explain to the ignorant types how a scientific theory is different from the traditional use of the word theory.
  11. The simple answer to that is, the Twilight movies made a crap load of money and they're steaming piles of ****. People will pay lots of money to see shitty movies for some reason. Good for him that he's cashed in on people's stupidity, but he's still a hack of a writer.
  12. Pretty much how I feel about all things. I don't buy into this "Anything that's good for the league..." stuff. I've suffered enough without a championship in 25 years.....**** EVERYONE that's not us.... Going on the tombstone
  13. Everything Orci writes is 3 or 4 big action sequences tied loosely together with a nonsensical story full of plotholes. Guy is a hack plain and simple yet some how he is successful.
  14. Am I crazy or did Washington not get the tougher matchups? Why are you all thinking Johnson is better than him? Mark my words if the Bombers move on from Washington people are going to be bitching about letting a talent like that go.
  15. well our rbs were meh last year, I'd take a meh nation over a meh international.
  16. I legitimately don't know what to think of him... He was great as Drogo but beyond horrible in Conan... I'm hoping that the Conan movie was just a giant bag of **** all around and no one could have saved it and he's actually a decent actor. His Khal Drogo was one of the highlights of that season.
  17. Ooooo portrait, sounds classy
  18. I don't think this is as big of a deal as it once was. I don't think so either. Even Calgary was using am american primarily to back up Cornish. Flexibility seems to be the order of the day for the ratio in the CFL. 8 or 9 guys who could start depending on the injury situation on the roster.
  19. I got around to finishing Jessica Jones last week, pretty solid but yeah if you're squeamish about stuff it might be hard to watch and it's dark as **** but a good watch I thought. I liked it better than Daredevil, but maybe that's because I didn't really like the actors in Daredevil where as I thought Krysten Ritter did a real good job in this show.
  20. What a guy who's made his living being on TV the last couple years sold himself well in an interview? The hell you say
  21. how about Kyle Walters just does what every other GM in the league can do and find some pass catchers on his own from the states? There's only about a million of them down there. If they are that easy to find EVERY NFL team would have "perfect" pass catchers. Name a CFL team other than Ottawa that can't find some receivers that can play. It's a position that a GM should be able to find guys for. No one is asking for perfect, just good enough you can find someone without having to go into the free agent market.

  23. Most likely they are taking all the circle jerking about themselves seriously and actually believe they are special.
  24. The moral of the story is, don't give your family complete control of your finances. You can afford to hire a professional to manage your money when you have that much and it's worth every single penny if you hire one that knows his ****.
  25. If by some chance you are serious, what should the Regina team have to give Edmonton for taking their Head coach? They gave permission though. Do you think it would be fair if Steinhauer quit and signed to coach another team despite Hamilton saying no way. You can't just allow people to ignore valid contracts. Morally Ottawa should let the guy go..legally they shouldn't. Except they gave the Esks permission to talk as well.
