Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

If you can show me the country of Palestine on the map, maybe I can agree. Of course. What I meant is the land Palestinians hope to make into a state. Are they originally Jordanians? Would you accept the following? Those Arabs and, specifically Palestinians, living in Israel have a significantly hi...

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

Well, Sir Purrcival, as you suggest, we'll just have to agree to disagree about this. My perception of the effects of the Israelis "playing nice" with the Arabs, and Palestinians in particular, is that this would just be seen as weakness to be exploited by their enemies in the region. Nor ...

Re: On any given day....

Don't really have a dog in this fight but just wondering, weren't a lot of his rushes QB plunges in short yardage situations, 2nd & 1, 3rd & inches and such? What's his avg if you take those out? By the same token Lulay normally exits in that scenario, which doesn't hamper his avg to the sa...

Re: On any given day....

I never claimed Jarious had a brilliant career, it was you, South Pender, who said: "I don't recall ever seeing him brilliant." I just refreshed your memory about Jarious' brilliant game vs Wpg where he passed for over 400 yds, 5 TD's and no Int's. Brilliant! He had several other brillian...

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

South Pender -I never said that the Israeli's were hated just because settlements. You are right they were in the bad books with the locals from about 1944 on when the mass migrations started. What I was saying was that their policies regarding settlement expansion have only fanned the flames of th...

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

Let's talk about Israel for a second. It is my opinion that they are also a large part of the problem in the middle east. As much as I don't agree with rockets being fired at settlements, it has been the Israeli policy of expansion, division and enforced poverty which have gone a long way in stokin...

Re: On any given day....

On the other hand, some things never change! Like Jarious Jackson's 52% passing today. That's about equal to his passing percentage as a Lion, IIRC (maybe 53-54%). I well remember him coming in for the Lions on many occasions and really laying an egg. Although JJ has his fans here in BC, I was neve...

Sorry to read that Mitchell will likely sit out the Hamilton game. We need him in there.

Re: Anwar Stewart

Yeah, that was kind of distasteful, wasn't it. He said that he'd contacted a couple of teams and was hopeful that, as the end of the season approaches, he'd be picked up. I think it's pretty safe to assume that the Lions are not one of the teams he had in mind, with the two DEs we have in Williams a...

On any given day....

There's the saying "On any given day in the CFL, any team can beat any other team." I haven't heard this articulated recently, but I'm struck by how true it still is--just witness today's Winnipeg win over Montreal in Montreal. We haven't seen a dominant team this year. I suppose it could ...

Re: Lions 27 - Stampeders 22 Post Game Stats and Comments

Travis Lulay is presently third in quarterback stats, falling behind Burris and Calvillo in both total yards passing and quarterback rating, although he's very close on the latter: 99.2 vs 103 and 104. To me, the QB rating is the more accurate indicator of QB play than passing yards amassed, and Lul...

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

Interesting, Sir Purrcival. In my analysis of US foreign policy, I wasn't thinking of becoming involved in another war in the Middle East, but rather being more proactive in stopping Iran. There's no question that Obama has been reluctant to stand strongly behind Israel, despite his boilerplate rhet...

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

If you checked the links - my stuff was not about rumours. It has been confirmed by Romney. It is not something linking him to a Rev. Wright or some urban terrorist who out of jail come to the same community meeting that Obama was at. That I agree is wrong but the other stuff is admitted and speaks...
