  3. I get the allure of the principles of communism, the problem is it has never successfully been implemented. And most countries who try have always said .. yeah but what happened before wasn't TRUE communism, we will do it right, but nobody has. You may be able to successfully implement it in a society of 100 - 250 people, but at mass scale it does not work. In pretty much every instance the people with the best of intentions for the populace are either dead or in prison within the first few years. Then the fun happens. This book should be mandatory reading to understand the dangers and what has gone in in communist countries. https://www.amazon.ca/Gulag-Archipelago-Aleksandr-Solzhenitsyn/dp/1843430851/ref=sr_1_2?crid=309F29F30CCWZ&keywords=the+gulag+archipelago&qid=1568921052&s=gateway&sprefix=the+gulag+ar%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-2 What we have here in the West isn't perfect, but it has lasted longer and has spread more wealth and improved the quality of living of people at all levels of society far more then other then other structures. Is it perfect? No. Should we keep trying to make it better? Of course. But it doesn't mean the whole system should be thrown out.
  4. Came across this clip of an old Bill Hader interview on David Letterman. This Ctrl Shift Face channel is showing people just how crazy digital manipulation and deep fakes can be. Can't believe a lot fo what you see these days. Watch how Hader's face pretty much seamlessly shifts in and out of Tom Cruise and Seth Rogen when he does their impressions.
  5. Third instance with video comes out. https://globalnews.ca/news/5922861/justin-trudeau-brownface-video/

  15. Then why does he claim “desire” is what has set Calgary apart from other teams? If that was coming from the fans, Winnipeg or Saskatchewan would win every year.
  16. You have to be crazy to think that “desire” is what sets Calgary apart from the rest of the league. What kind of crap to you keep spewing around here Every other team goes into the office every day thinking what can we do to just be good enough. If this is how you really feel people think, I feel sorry for you and the organizations you’ve worked for. Everyone doesn’t make the correct decisions or executions, but I can assure you desire is not lacking in this organization.
  17. Tough week last week with most of the picked favourites in all games losing, @bigg jay and @M.O.A.B. are currently tied for first with @Albertabomberguy, @kelownabomberfan, and @wayner tied for second. Picks this week need to be in by Thursday @ 7:30PM Standings are below:

  19. Said on the 1290 today he will be flying after the game out and meeting the team for practice.
  20. Well, Trouba and Copp both have the same agent. So there is that. Look up how many of Kurt Overhardt’s clients go to arbitration or hold out.
  21. @M.O.A.B. has taken sole position of first place with @Albertabomberguy and @wayner currently tied for 2nd. Picks this week must be in before 6PM @ Thursday. Standings are below
  22. Attendance is also down league wide. There are bigger league wide problems for attendance then to blame this on location.
  23. This on going narrative about taking long to get out of IGF is for sure an issue, but it is a false narrative. They really botched things the first couple of years at IGF and now can’t shake this perception. Getting out of IGF is now faster for us then it ever was getting out of Polo. Polo wasn’t perfect either. Can’t expect traffic to be no line ups anywhere 25k people are leaving at the same time. At most it is 10 minutes for us to get out of the U of M area once we get to our car. Often less.
