I see Berkut brought out the tribes thing again. :rolleyes:

It is a recurring theme in human interaction, more is the pity.

There is always some asshole who thinks he's above the fray while wallowing in the trenches.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

However, I am honest about it.

this thread needs more little boats.

Oh lordy, that was funny.  :D Pateches forever!

If it's little boats you wanted though, shoulda brought up the Canadian navy, not army.  ;)

Being honest about lacking objectivity or ability to think outside your worldview doesn't really make it better. If anything, it makes it worse. Hell, most people don't even really realize that they don't really look at issues objectively. Knowing that you do not and being ok with it is pretty screwed up.

do our boats still even float, or is it just our subs that are sinking?

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well, this was mildly entertaining.

Some folks need to spend less time on languish methinks.

Only "some"?  :hmm:

The last few pages were annoying.   <_<

Anyway - when Canada disengages from Libya and Afghanistan, I suspect there will be increased emphasis on the "long term" spending, which will almost certainly include naval and air assets for the far north - Canada's on her own insofar as the US is not supporting Canada's claim to the region and thus Canada will have to have the capacity to patrol the area and enforce the claims - again, long term stuff but necessary if those claims are going to be taken seriously...
