  1. I was unaware that criminals were friends with the majority of their victims? You're trying to mix oil with water.... If your neighbour see you with a gun, he'll want a bigger one. That's how it works.

  3. Please see my "preparation, not paranoia" post in the other gun thread. Are you paranoid for having a reserve in your rig, or prepared in case you have a malfunction? Are you paranoid for having a fire extinguisher in your kitchen, or prepared in case there is a small cooking fire? Are you paranoid for having airbags or seatbelts in your car, or prepared in case you have an accident? You could live in a bunker, yet, you'll find someone that will find a way to blow you up. Yves. Ok, and you would willingly put yourself at the mercy of that person, why? I try not to enter a fight with anyone in the first place. That's why. I have no ennemies.

Why try to kill a bug with a sledgehammer? Yves.
  5. We have strict gun control here. So if you get into a fist fight with your neighbour, you have to be very careful, as size does not really matter... Yves.
  6. Yes, it's still in place. Although it was mismanaged from the get go, and costly as hell, but it seems the problems have been adressed, and things are going smoothly now. Yves. Yup, I'm sure all those law-abiding citizens had SO much to do with crime... Quebec city, with a population of 550 000, had ZERO homicide in 2007. Are we so different than our American neighbours? How would you explain this? Yves. Cultural differences - gang influences, drug crime, effectiveness of police.... how many others can YOU think of? It certainly wasn't guns in the hands of the law abiding...who were the people affected by the registration/forced turn-in. Cultural differences.... Maybe... Who knows. Maybe you, as Americans, have come to think guns were essential to your safety.... Because you were told so by your father? Or your grand father? I dunno. But I just can't figure why the Americans feel so insecure in their daily lives.... Yves.

  8. From the looks of it, hockey wouldn't last long if everyone had guns... Hockey sticks are not deadly.... well, usually not. It depends on how you use them. Yves. Yves.

  10. The NHL did move most teams south. But based on memories of Cal-Stanfurd at Berkeley Ice, the more amateur the teams, the most aggressive/drunk the fans. ---- Not terribly surprising that Canada has enjoyed a good stretch - in the same time the looney appreciated 35% against the USD. Sounds like they finally got deficit spending down, while we went the other way. I think strict gun control is really responsible for these favorable statistics, Economy played a minor role IMHO. Yves.
  11. Cold? Naaaaaaaaa http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3124311;#3124311 Yves.
  12. Yeah, but there's all those damn hockey fanatics up there... Yes. They are so dangerous. Yves.
  13. The best place to live. Plain and simple. http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5jGdxw9fx5PNyxLGwhflTh931LMOw http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/17/statscan-crime.html http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/07/guns-smuggle.html Yves.
  14. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1176642#1176642 Sangiro ne permet aucune annonces dans les forums, sauf dans les sections qui sont prévues à cet effet. Ce que je ferai, dans des cas comme ceux-ci, c'est de déplacer le post au bon endroit, tout en laissant un traceur de redirection (moved) à l'endroit original. De cette façon, Sangiro est content, tout le monde est content, et je ne me ferai pas taper sur les doigts. Le post apparaît à deux endroits. Yves.

    Smart car

    Yeah, but the pizza is still hot when it arrives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPQIizRp9ck Yves.

    Smart car

    Take a look at this one. http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-iq.html Yves.

    Smart car

    The new Smart (the one sold in USA) will be about a foot longer than the original Smart, and does not have the turbo diesel engine that the original Smart had. The new Smart has a 70hp gas engine, hence the decreased fuel economy. The turbo diesel would have been a little out of breath, hauling big asses around. Yves.
  18. a gallon of what? Regular unleaded. Yves.
  19. Paid today in Quebec city.
  20. The guy made a fool of himself allright. For a moment, i thought he was about to choke in his own saliva. By his ignorance, he digged his own hole, and stepped into it. Yves.
  21. Well.. So far... we got over 5.40m of snow (about 17.5ft) this winter in Quebec city... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3124311;#3124311 http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=96243; These pictures were taken mid february. Yves.
  22. What a sad news... http://forum.nouvelair.ca/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=349 Mia's love for skydiving was contagious, just like her smile. She will be missed. My condolences to her family and friends.. Blue skies Mia. Yves.
  23. These are pretty good too. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/9283/silly_crazy_us_laws_from_the_past.html Yves.
  24. Incorrect. A simple google search. http://www.geae.com/aboutgeae/presscenter/cf6/cf6_20021206.html The A330 can also be powered with Pratt & Whitney engines, as well as Rolls-Royce engines. http://www.pratt-whitney.com/vgn-ext-templating/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2e35288d1c83c010VgnVCM1000000881000aRCRD&prid=eb0f58cb36e28110VgnVCM100000c45a529f____ http://civil.rolls-royce.com/jet-engines-for-the-Airbus-A330/ I can assure you that the KC-45 is going to be a damn good tanker for the USAF, since it can pass all its fuel, and then fly for 20 more minutes, with both engines out, and then land safely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Transat_Flight_236 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or40TLiP30Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIcOcM8Hk40&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFhw-GlHQk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVyEXV8xvCs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOs57rNqbm8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHww6JiG4no&feature=related Yves.
  25. I would check for a corroded rotor in the distributor. You may also need a new distributor cap. I would check for both, if i were you.
