-CFL sucks, I mean really, could the end-zone and the football be any bigger

CFL footballs are the same size as NFL footballs

I prefer the days when player salaries weren't public knowledge.
Now everyone thinks they could be a successful General Manager of an NHL team.
It's pathetic.

[GrrlGoalie33]

Everyone has an inner "racist". Just to varying degrees and levels of willingness to act on it.

Yes, you should be able to read, write and speak a passable level of English to get a drivers license in Alberta.

I will consider this thread incomplete until SebC wades in.

I hate the suburbs and can't see myself living in them.

I advocate renaming this thread "Opinions you have"...

Not quite (but pretty much)

National Football League football is specified as; short circumference: 20¾ to 21¾ inches (527 to 540 mm), long circumference: 27¾ to 28⅛ inches (705 to 714 mm).
Canadian Football League football is specified as; short circumference: 20⅞ to 21⅛ inches (530 to 537 mm), long circumference: 27¾ to 28¼ inches (705 to 718 mm).
Some professional quarterbacks do notice the difference in size.[2]
Another difference between NFL and CFL balls is that Canadian balls have two 1 inch (25 mm) complete white stripes around the football 3 inches (76 mm) from the largest diameter of the ball and NFL balls have no stripes at all. College football and high school football both specify the use of stripes, but only on two of the football's four panels (the ones adjacent to the laces).

Good. I'm glad I come off as annoying when I call someone out for being racist. I hope it get so annoying that they stop.

People who are too stupid to realize they're being racist come off as uncivilized rednecks and deep south Americans.

I suppose it's not. I can see why Sikhs should be allowed to wear it and also while they shouldn't.

Probably not the best example to call someone out for being racist.

There are certainly other examples in this thread though. I think there was someone on here to said immigrants should need to be able to speak english before coming over to Canada. As if all the Spaniards, Russians, Germans and Scandinavians could when they first came over a hundred years ago.

There are other examples if you want to look through every page.

Really? Is there somewhere in Christianity that says one should wear an AR-15 on their ceremonial clothing?

Give me a break.

With some nice rye bread and butter, I agree with the herring.

Well I stand corrected then! Have to say that it looks bigger on TV, but none the less I prefer the NFL variety.

People in Saskatchewan are not very bright. This is not a joke. I have done a study and the entire province is full of uneducated sh1theels in pickup trucks. I don't know if this is an unpopular fact but it is a fact.

I agree with your overall point, but how is that comment any better than the racist ones that you're calling out?

you are telling everyone to tip-toe around every issue that might have racial undertone and then come up with this gem to paint all deep south Americans as uncivilized rednecks?

I'm starting to think you might be trolling us?

If there's a law prohibiting weapons in court room then demanding that everyone obeys the law equally is not "probably a bad reason to call someone a racist" its "completely ######ed reason to call someone a racist"

Not sure hows that racist if it applies to every immigrant.

Good call. Brings me to my next opinion:

I hate anti-Americanism.

Canadians can be just as "red-knecky" and ignorant as Americans. Europeans can be even worse. Just because I don't randomly call out every little thing America does, that does not mean I am in league with George Bush.

Gun control will not solve the violence problems in America. Most gun deaths in America are suicides. The suicide rate in America is identical to Canada, and people will just find other ways to kill themselves if they don't have access to guns. The majority of the remainder of the gun violence is related to the drug trade. Gun control will not stop drug dealers from getting guns.

People who have opinions, siding independent, on matters they probably know nothing about.

A few examples:

The economy
The environment
How businesses should be run
Arm chair coaches
and the list can go on and on.....

Usually it does actually. At least for the people closest to the one who died. There is a tremendous sense of loss. Unless perhaps the person lived a long and fulfilled life. Anybody taken at an early or middle age generally has to be mourned. Their role as son/daughter/sister/brother/mother/father will be greatly missed. Hard for most people to celebrate the loss of someone close to them. It would take a rare personality type IMO.

CFL ball is so much more entertaining than the NFL that it shouldn't be a subject of dispute. Their players are more skilled, but our rules are far more exciting. I'd love to see NFL players playing by CFL rules in the bigger field.

Refer to my last post please.

Gun control would have kept the guns out of the hands of all the perps guilty of shooting up schools and theatres, just an FYI smartass.

and I agree with PMM, Amerkuh is Canada's suicide pill, we need to distance our selves economical and socially; Amerikuh's going to hell in a depressing and poor hand basket, must we follow suite?

Quebec's economy is structurally broken and probably not repairable. The work force is too entitled. It's North America's Greece.
