  1. Habs win!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  2. Thanks for sharing this. That was difficult to watch, but it does have a happy ending. Animals are much more intelligent than we give them credit for and make no mistake these Chicks were experiencing emotions as they struggled to get up the stairs. One can only imagine what thoughts they were going through until they made it up that last step and breathed a "sign of relief". Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  3. Gay people should not be discriminated against, but they should also not be given preferential treatment. I yearn for a world where people are hired based on their merits and not because of the special interest group they represent. There are thousands and thousands of college football players who will not get a phone call this weekend. But you can blame the media here for turning this into the gong show it has become. If this guy does not get drafted you know the media is going to go ape shit on the issue just as if this guy does not make one of the teams next year the media is going to go ape shit. The media would throw their own mother's into shark infested waters and proceed to chum the water if it meant furthering their agenda. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

  5. It's May 7th and I still have snow in my yard and the temperatures are below freezing this morning. Oh and this is not isolated to one region. Pretty much all of Western Canada with the exception of the Left Coast is dealing with cooler than normal temperatures. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  6. As long as this stays inside the NBA, I don't give a damn whether Sterling keeps or loses this team. Unless some people are desperate to be involved in the NBA as players, coaches or support staff, who will want to work for Don Sterling after this. But if the "Thought Police" start using this as a stepping stone precedence towards going after more people who offend them, well then we have a serious problem brewing.

  7. It's not an age thing. I am 50 and my favorite radio station is a local Alternative Rock station x92.9, which caters to hipster doofuss 20 something year olds still living in their parent's basements peeps. I don't agree with some of the things the on air personalities spew, but I like their music. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
  8. The 2014 LA Kings have just joined a very small group of NHL teams who were down 3-0 in their respective playoff series to come back and win 4-3. They joined the: - 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs who came back against the Detroit Red Wings. - 1975 NY Islanders who came back against the Pittsburgh Penguins. - 2010 Philadelphia Flyers who came back against the Boston Bruins.

  9. There is no doubt this Don Sterling dude is a racist. Apparently he has a long history looking down on the players of his team as nothing more than property. The dude does not come out of the 1950s, he comes out of the 1850s. But don't ever believe the bullshit the Donkeys try to peddle that only the Elephants are for sale to the highest bidder. The Donkeys are just as guilty as the Elephants, like when they accepted hundreds of millions from world class asses such as San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer. The Donkeys are just as dirty as the Elephants and the fools who say otherwise are just as big of bigots as the people they claim are bigots.

  11. We all make mistakes when it comes to predictions. Plus I am not convinced that the Habs beating the Lightning would constitute as an upset, or at least a huge upset. But in sports there usually is going to be some sort of upset. Rarely does the favorite always win. If the favorite always won, it wouldn't be as much fun to watch. Yup there is a reason why they actually play the games. Usually the talking head so called experts are just talking because they can, not because they know something the rest of us don't know. There is little difference between the talking heads who follow sports and the AGW talking heads. Neither of them know the results of future events even if they claim they are experts and know so much more about everything than the rest of us peons.

  13. The only people spinning things here at the Progressive Trolls here at the DorkZone. This story is all over the media. It's being reported by news organizations that lean left, lean right or lean which ever way earns them the most money on a given day. I could cite dozens of news organizations reporting this story and not a single one of them would be Fox. Obama is playing politics as usual instead of doing the job he was elected to do which was to govern by making decisions even if sometimes those decisions are unpopular. But here is something for you Progressive Trolls to chew (or should I say choke) on. You may think you are poise to shut down the Canadian Oil Sands by rejecting the northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline. But production at Fort Mac continues even with Obama's dithering and it will continue even if/when Obama punts this issue on to your next messiah Billary. Production at Fort Mac has been going on for decades and will continue for the next century. If the resources need to be shipped by rail (as they currently are), they will be shipped by rail even though rail is an order of magnitude more risky than shipping by pipeline. Oh and you Progressives are aware of the massive already existing in the ground and been there for decades tens of thousands mile long network of natural gas and oil pipelines that dart all across Western Canada, the US Mid-West towards the East as well as and down into Texas network, aren't you. It's mind boggling how big this already existing network of pipelines is and yet the Progressive Trolls act as if Keystone will destroy humanity.

  14. Yes actually he was. You see many years ago, blacks and whites both liked to play, but for whatever reason (no need to go into that here and risk this thread being sent to the SC), the white DZOs felt that only white people had the mental and physical abilities to work at the DZs. This didn't stop the blacks from wanting to play and the blacks ended up forming their own DZs and many people who spent the time to watch the blacks at play said they were everything as good if not even better than the whites who worked at the white DZs. But of course there was no money at the black DZs, so they were always kept behind in terms of fame and fortune. Then one day a white DZO decided he needed an edge, he needed a way to make his DZ better than his competitors. Let's call this DZO "Twig Rickey" for the lack of a better name to call him. Twig Rickey felt that he needed to employ the best possible people at his DZ regardless of what their skin color was. But Twig Rickey couldn't just employ anyone who was naturally talented. No Twig Rickey needed to find a man who was just as strong mentally as he was physically because Twig Rickey knew that this person would meet a lot of resistance from the established DZOs and other white DZ employees. The man Twig Rickey decided was strong enough to work at his DZ was Jackie Robinson. It wasn't always easy. Both Twig and Jackie had to endure a lot of abuse along the way. However eventually people began to accept that the black man could perform just as well if not better than the white and Jackie Robinson not only paved the way where other black athletes were allowed into the sport but also changed some people's mindset that "The best person should get the job regardless of what they looked like". Too bad some people today (on both sides of the fence) don't believe in this idea that "The best person is not the one who should get the job" and instead still believe that jobs should only be given to one special interest group over another. But we don't need to get into that aspect and risk this thread being sent to the SC. Once again "Happy Jack Robinson Day". Wear your #42 today proudly. That's all.

  16. If it wasn't for the fact that people were injured (one who was critically injured) what you wrote here would be comical with a heavy dose of hypocrisy. You really should not be throwing all those stones from your glass house.

  18. Photo radar isn't about getting people to slow down, it's just about raising $$$ for the local authorities. There is a bridge I cross under on most days coming home from work. The bridge is supposedly under construction repairs. There are construction signs telling the drivers to slow down to 60 km/h. Problem is nobody ever works on the bridge. It's been at least 8 months since the last construction worker set foot on the sight. But that does not stop the authorities from using photo radar at the location to nab anyone who is going 1+ click over the posted 60 km/h construction zone speed limit.

  19. Extremely flawed analogy there. Here is a more accurate assessment. The man and the woman are not strangers to you. You know them very well. You know that the man has a long history of abuse towards this woman. You also know that the woman was once armed but never used her weapons against her aggressor because she knew it would also result in her own destruction. Not that many years ago you helped broker a divorce with this couple. You got the man to agree to stop abusing this woman if she agreed to give up her weapons. Fast forward a few years, you talk with the man before heading off to the pub and you secretly agreed with him that once you win your re-election you will have much more flexibility and you promised to not interfere when the man decides to resume his abusive ways. Now you are at the pub, you give each other the wink to make sure you are both on the same page. The man resumes to abuse the woman, the other patrons at the pub are shocked and you think you are about to make yourself look good by shouting across the room "Hey Vladimir you better stop. If you don't stop I'm going to have to rescind that all expenses paid golf vacation invite I made to you". Vladimir laughs, gives you another wink and proceeds with the plan you two hatched out long ago. If it wasn't for the people of Ukraine poised to lose the freedom, it is amusing how the ubber partisan Donkeys here at the Dork Zone always rush to defend their Ass. Obama is not doing shit because Obama agreed to this aggression a long time ago. Remember, "This is my last election. After my election I will have more flexibility" followed by "I understand I transmit this information to Vladimir". But now I fully expect to be viciously attacked by the partisan Donkeys because here at the Dork Zone nobody is ever allowed to say anything bad towards the Messiah.

  20. With the exception of your remarks concerning what Reagan said (which by the way was a joke, even if not everyone viewed it as funny) is a complete waste of bandwidth. Seriously who gives a rat's ass about what is said in the Texas Gubernatorial campaigning in the context of Ukraine. We are talking about Russia dishonoring the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. We're not talking about your Elephant versus Donkey domestic politics. Plus if you think that what Obama said to Medvedev has nothing to do with the current events, might I interest you in a nice beach front time share property to be only used in the late Spring early Summer months in Bangladesh? It's hard to say what an Elephant president would do now that is any different than what the current Ass is doing, which is nothing. But would we even be in this mess if the current Ass had not told the Russians, once I am re-elected we will all have more flexibility to do what we wish. The Elephants have plenty of skeletons in their closets, the Elephants can not say they have never messed things up. But actions of the current Ass are a direct result of why the people of the Ukraine are poised to lose their freedom. Putin could care less about the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, and clearly neither does Obama. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

  25. But can I say: "El gato negro tiene un rostro negro"? Last time I checked negro was NOT a racial slang word in the second (soon to be the) most popular language in the USA. Negro is simply the word Black in the Spanish language. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over
