If you are the Governer General do you want to allow a coalition with a separatist Bloc involved and a PM who will be voted out by his own party within 6 months?
Whoa since when does the Governor General think for themselves?

Hooligans are sporting fans who riot and create mayhem. Like the Richard riots (I don't care how political they were, it was directly a result of a Habs incident), or the Cup riots, or winning the second round a couple of years back riots. It's all hooliganism.
I'm not denying the idiocy of the riots, but i believe you said habs fans were the worst on the planet. As far as I know, habs fans have yet to kill a player, supporters of other teams or even sent out massive amounts of death threats to a player or players.
Just seemed like a statement that you made with very little backing other than 3 riots over the span of 50 years (the one last year was started by street gangs i believe) and booing of certain players.

I interpreted fairie as saying that no one could resist sex if there were no consequences.
a. there has to be consequences
b. there is a rather large culture of asexual and celibate people. To suggest that they only choose to live this way because they "can't get any" is a bit absurd to me.
-
As others have implicitly pointed out, there is an absolute qualitative difference between robbing a bank and having casual sex. This difference is sufficient as to render any syllogism drawn therefrom moot.
A bank robbery necessarily requires one to dispossess another. The act itself creates a negative effect. This is not true for sex. There can be times where engaging in sex will create a negative result, but it will not be simply because an additional act of intercourse has occurred.
My point with the bank was in response to faerie's argument of sex without any sort of consequences. It was weak, but the basis still stands, every action has positive consequences and negative consequences. To me there is no use in thinking of an action that is absent of consequences.

hooking up with random girls on vacation would seem to have limited long-term prospects.
the money and happiness argument is an interesting one but i feel that would be getting even further off topic.
-
I can say for sure that this would be the thought process of some individuals yes.
-
I know it's not a perfect comparison, but under the pretense that there are no consequences on either side (sex or robbing banks) there would still be people who decide to resist their instincts in both occasions. Maybe because they know that both pleasures are only temporary and will not lead to long-term happiness?
-
If you mean self control in the denotative sense that conscious humans have the ability to act opposite to their instincts, then I absolutely agree.
This is exactly what i mean.
Your opinion I suppose. I'm not here to start a flame war nor get dragged into some ridiculous internet argument, but going back to my previously stated hypothetical situation, if you're able to sate all of your desires with virtually no (if any) repercussions, is there any reason to exercise said self-control? And remember, this is assuming that you're single and have no commitments else where, so that eliminates any X-factors such as being in a relationship already and all that.But theres never going to be a human decision that has no repercussions in some form or another, that is what separates us from animals...I guess that's what makes your situation a hypothetical one but it's also what makes it irrelevant to me.
I mean i can easily say that, hypothetically, any human being would steal a million dollars from a bank if there were no repercussions, guilt or otherwise. That argument doesn't really have much substance to it either does it?

I chose the drink heavily option since my idea of a vacation would most likely include a stay at an all inclusive resort, with drinking being a logical consequence.
if you put anyone, regardless of "moral/ethical" beliefs or whatever you want to call them, who's attracted to females in a room with a very attractive woman who is willing to go at it, every single one of those people would totally go for it. The people who claim they wouldn't are only lying to themselves because in reality they have no chance at actually landing the above mentioned woman. So, in order to feel better about themselves, they try to justify their lack of success with a "personal choice not to indulge." And on that note, Dr. Freud will now sign off.Completely disagree with this part. This basically equates a human being to an animal with zero self-control.

SAKUUUUU What a pass!

BEGIN!!!! Beauty play by Lapierre!
-
obyrne, then bouillon, now gorges? we got a new goat on D every night!
Lets go PP.
Andrei K looks great this period!
-
How do you not clear that Higgy?
On a positive note, I like the look of the Lang line.
-
ok the PP is starting to really frustrate me now...
-
These are the lines i was hoping for, except i wanted to see pleky go with the kostitsyn bros. I can't say I understand putting him with Begin and Kosto. To me it was obvious that the problem on that line was Kovalev...
-
Game threads are dead lately...
Maybe the bouillon flub will take some of the heat off of O'Byrne? One can only hope.
-
could be the team played a lot better after he got caught with that purse last year
Haha good point, If i'm not mistaken we were slumping at the time and then Kovy scored an OT winner against Florida and off we went.
-
Awesome stuff! Maybe O'bynre's "goal" will be our rally point?
-
Time for a nice 2 and a half hour break from essay writing. Never mind that I just finished my second of three essays and still have one to go that I haven't started, this is the Habs we're talking about!
Make the ensuing all nighter worth my while boys!
-
Did you watch the game? I'm not going to argue that Kovy has been sub-par this season, even his biggest fans would say so. I've always had a love-hate opinion of him, but he DID play one of his best games in a long time and he DID create numerous scoring chances for himself and his linemates. Will this mean a turnaround for his season? We can hope...
-
Ive stumped him a few times. He didn't get Koivu which I found surprising and also Johnnie Cochran.

I've always loved how accessible CFL players are to the fans though, one reason I like the league so much. Today was a great day.
Couldn't agree with that more. I still have fond memories of meeting Adrion Smith when I was in grade 6, he signed the cast I had on my leg. Then 3 years later he shows up at one of our football practices. What a great player and a great role model.
Richardson just looks like he could jump right into the NFL. I'm not sure what his 40 time is but he certainly has the size and the hands to be a solid NFLer, from what I've seen anyways.

My mother said it is rude to boo, always, it is fine to cheer for your team but not to boo the other.
I guess that is proper manners.
That's all well and good, but this is not golf. This is hockey.

It's just amazing to me that people can justify acting like idiots, and think that because they spent some cash, it gives them the right to do so. That it's acceptable behavior. That if I don't act like a tool when a player makes a mistake, that I'm being soft. Just absolutely amazes me. It's sad that management, and ambassadors of the team (Beliveau), have to remind some fans on occasion what classless idiots they are being.
I also think it's funny that people tend to confuse apathy with being polite.
What is your definition of acting like an idiot? If booing O'Byrne is wrong then what about booing a ref or an opposing player? I mean they are all human beings at the end of the day, it would be pretty disrespectful to boo any of em no?
THIS gets Avery suspended!

I dunno guys, this isn't the WWF, this is a professional league and I think Avery deserves to be shut up. This is a buildup of events if anything and I'm glad it happened.
