  1. correction: despite NOT winning the cup, those ranger teams of the 1970's were really good. the only problem was, those canadien teams were just better.
  2. eddie giacomin and rod gilbert, two of the greatest players to put on the rangers' jersey. despite winning the cup, those ranger teams in the 1970's were really good, the only sucky thing those canadien teams were just better.
  3. cool, you live in the easton ave. apartments, i'll be there around 8:30
  4. the second he becomes president, he's going to shut the border with canada. i know he has done one episode bad mouthing canada's immigration policies, just because one of the accused 9/11 hijackers came through the canadian border. o'reilly thinks it's canada's fault for the whole 9/11 attacks. it isn't canada's responsibility to know who comes into the us, that's OUR responsibility. if he becomes president, i too may have to go to canada
  5. o'reilly is just a populist loud mouth, who's arguments have been shown false. i don't know anybody could take him seriously, when he is all spin. neither arabs or the pa have any desire to drive the israelis to the sea, as he claims. if that was the case, then why would arafat sign the oslo peace accords and the camp david accords-both of which israel has violated. why then would prince abdullah of saudi arabia has expressed desire to have normal relations with israel, if they just keep the 1967 borders. what frustrates arabs, is the us is brutally punishing iraq for violating un resolutions, yet gives israel blank checks, despite violating 67 resolutions. it is the israelis who are the ones driving the palestineans into jordan, by building settlements and preventing palestineans from having the right to freely move. since 1993 israel has doubled the number of settlements in the west bank, despite promising not to build anymore in the oslo accords. also, criticizing israel does NOT equate one as being "anti-semite". judaism is a religion that has been practice-through some of the worst of times-for the past 5000 years. zionism , is a political philosophy that came out of europe, at a time when european countries were colonizing africa and asia. the jews of europe wanted to colonize palestine. mathatma gandhi is an example of how one can criticize israel and not hate jews. he had expressed his love and solidarity with the jewish people, but objected the idea of a jewish state. gandhi did not believe in the idea of the unireligious state, and that if jews wanted to live in palestine, then they should work it out between them and the arabs, and not bring us or uk in the picture. "My sympathy does not blind me to the requirements of justice. The cry for the national home for the Jews does not make much appeal to me. The sanction for it is sought in the Bible and in the tenacity with which the Jews have hankered after their return to Palestine. Why should they not, like other peoples of the earth, make that country their home where they are born and where they earn their livelihood?" just because one supports israel, does not exclude them from anti-semitism. look at evangelical christians, who crying for a new crusade to bring all the jews to israel, so the second coming of christ would occur. of course, the jews who they "care for" so much would be sent to hell of course, unless they convert to christianity of course-thus commiting a spirtual genocide. a while back congressman tom delay spoke to American Israeli Public Affairs Commitee(AIPAC), where he called the west bank it's biblical name "judea and samaria". however earlier that month delay said that a christianity is “only viable, reasonable, definitive answer†to life’s key questions. basically telling the average jew, that the beliefs and values they've been raised on means sh!t. so i don't care if o'reilly think anyone who criticizes israel or american middle east policy an "anti-semite". because i am not the one who wants to exploit jews to fulfill some sort of bibilical prophesy, where the end result is sending jews to hell. truth about o'reilly
  6. two words AM TRAK anyways we should be looking into rail transportation. http://www.amtrak.com/
  7. pakistan has been independant for 55 years and more than half those years it has been under a military dictatorship. the other years, they tried to assemble a democracy, the problem was that there were too many corrupt politicians and the military still had too much power, especially since they had a lot of american support. however, with what little voice the people had under "democracy", they have always opted for a more secular government, where the hardline conservatives would have less than 5% of parliament seats. it is only when the country is under military rule does militant islam rises. there is a correalation between the rise of militant islam and what kind of government a country has. bangladesh is more than 80% muslim and for the longest time have been quite tolerant of hindus living there. the same goes with mali in west africa, which is also a democracy. senegal, which is 92% muslim, have stable democratic government, never had a coup, and no militant islamic movement. even india, even though muslims do have a reason to launch a jihad against hindus(over 2,000 muslims were killed by hindus in the gujarat riots in february and march), there isn't a militant movement outside of kashmir. because the attrocities carried out by hindus are being addressed by the government. when people have no outlet to express their voices, people are going to opt for the militants, because they just want something that is different.
  8. i finished school over the summer, so now i have a degree in geography. i'm planning on going for a masters in geography. check out geography, it's a really cool subject. it is a great field to get into, if you want to get into grassroots politics. American Association of Geographers has good info on geography.
  9. i used to collect cards, i even would sell them. i collected baseball cards, however i was more into collecting hockey cards. two of my most valuable were 1990 mario lemiux and a 1988 wayne gretzky. i sold them for about $50 each.
  10. i'm single, it kinda sucks, but i don't want to be in a serious commitment. i just want something where we just date, and see where that would take us.

    despite the fact that i love blondes, i must say she should not be a blonde and go with either black or red. don't get me wrong, she looks great as a blonde, hell she'll look great with a mowhawk. it is just that i am sick of looking at blondes on tv. there are too, many of you on tv.
  20. i watch the bbc world news on njn, i can't stand american news coverage. it just sucks.
  21. the problem is we have groups like imf and world bank, where in THEORY their policies are set to help the third world. however, in reality their policies come with strings attached to them, that works in favor of the west, while exploiting the poor. the imf forces countries to open up their market for western industries, which ends up making local industries go bankrupt. devaluates their currency, so that the west can buy their goods, but they can't buy outside goods. these policies also force many third world countries dependant on world market prices, while the core nations have protectionist policies that protect their industries. when we individually give aid to these nations, we never give out money for nothing, we expect the money back. it is not necessarily the tax payers that are giving the money, but rather the banks that only want to make a profit. as a result, countries are forced between paying off debt or supplying education and health care to their people. when a country is too busy paying off its debt, while the people are starving, that's when you start having civil wars.
  22. i understand the nigerian people desire to bring a reduction of crime through sharia. the crime rate in nigeria is unbelievable, especially under the military government. so i can see it from their side. however, stoning women because she had an "adulturous" affair is just inhumane.
  23. can somebody explain to me about getting tickets through buying a cd??? what is that about?
