You're old.

God Damn Man! Even Football fans can appreciate when the Leafs are good.

Not even close to the same thing. An official in a team sport like Hockey's job is to make sure objective rules are followed not to determine the outcome. Why do we all know the name of Kerry Fraser is because he jobbed the Leafs in 1993. We're not supposed to notice refs in team sports.

First of all extrapolating data to attempt to determine the future of religion is simply dumb. Second you said that the Catholic church is losing people "all over the world because of the sex scandal" How exactly can you prove that?

Evidence? The Catholic Church is pretty strong. It's the more lefty sects like the Anglican and United Churches that are losing members.

Mao

That anecdote is reprehensible but it's just that, an anecdote. Quite frankly your view on religion border on Stalinist.

Many people on the "Right" advocate for this. Many Christians too. Usually they are shouted down as racist by the left.

Defining "Controlling Cults that doe more harm than good can" might prove to be very difficult.

So you're for Banning Religion now. Good luck with that.

This is perhaps the dumbest post I've read in awhile. Because people that comment on a Newspaper's comment section seem to support banning public funding for Catholic school, that means there is broad support for it?

There's an episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit that highlight why Cheerleading hasn't been made a sport. If it is made a sport it would have to abide by regulatory bodies. It's an effin' dangerous activity.

You come from a JW family right? So does my dad. it can be difficult to reject their dogmas but life is difficult get over it tough guy. If your family can't accept you for what you believe then it's their loss. Don't propose that government should step in matters of religious belief.

So by making the shunning illegal that will make it all stop. I wouldn't wait up on that one.

Such as? Grabs a bag of popcorn.

I think what rubs people the wrong way about sports like Figure Skating or Gymnastics is they are decided by subjective judges not an objective standard, like say points or time.

Cheerleading is as much a sport as Figure Skating is.

Those links don't answer my question. In Canada you can't force someone to marry someone else but you also can't prevent families from dis-owning family members that don't agree to arranged marriages.

How can you prove that? Heck you can't even prove if Muslim women wear head scarves on their own accord.

No wyly! We are both fat because we don't like Figure Skating.

So you'll admit to trolling then. Just let that be clear. I'm in decent shape. Could stand to lose some weight though. Up until I hurt my knee recently I could drop a -8 minute mile. Want to get into a "How much can you Bench" discussion next?

As I said in my first post. When considering the other athletes that were on the Short-list. Chan was clearly the most accomplished. Just sad that no Baseball player, Hockey player, Basketball Player, Soccer Player or any popular sports that you generally see discussed on sports pages do well. BTW how can you comment on wyly and my fitness levels based on our opinion of Figure skating? That's a pretty ignorant opinion.

You mean it doesn't say "Stupid Harper/Ford Lovers" Shocking!

When in Rome. . . I'm assuming you wouldn't come to the 905 for said fight the TTC doesn't go that far.

Dude I'm not questioning if Figure Skating is a sport or not. It clearly is. I just don't know what the "beer guts" of the rest of us has to do with anything and why you bragging about your half-marathon time adds anything to this thread. Figure Skaing is an artistic sport that appeals to mostly women. Also much like Biatholon, Bob-Sledding, Gymnastics, Track and Field etc only see broad appeal in the two-weeks every four years that there's an Olympics. My statement in this thread is that it's a sad year in Canadian sports that a Figure Skater is our top athlete in a non-Olympic year. I personally think George St Pierre should be the default Canadian Athlete of the year as long as he hold the UFC Welterweight title. But because MMA is a "brutal" sport the people at the Star probably will never nominate him.
