Commented on Amazing video of girl barely missing an out-of-control car
Am I just high from the cough medicine I just had, or are people getting legitimately upset over a passing reference to a guardian angel? It's not like the reporter's shoving religion down your throats, people....

Since when did being ludicrously rich and wasteful make someone a DIYer?...
Commented on Fundable rips off Hugo-nominated writer Mary Robinette Kowal
I'm going to go ahead and give Fundable the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how I'm certain they've been covered here before with little more than a passing mention of their service. Quoth Mr. Pratt: "Without any investigation, Cory...

Commented on Vancouver Olympics to feature US-style "free speech zones"
So I can protest in both free speech areas, or, I can just go wherever. Logic? Also, as a side note - Canada technically doesn't have free speech. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is far more vague than the...
Commented on God Hates the World, by Westboro Baptist Church
Either the WBC is a secret Catholic group devoted to discrediting protestantism, or an atheist group devoted to discrediting religion. I refuse to believe that trolls can exist in real life....

'Deadly act' could refer to the Polytechnique massacre or the Dawson College shooting. Those were horrible events. The Concordia incidents have been quite exaggerated by the pro-Netanyahu camp and can't compare. For one thing, Bibi is a pig....

Thank you (Anonymous #36) for posting that URL (http://www.cumuluspress.com/northof911.htm). The information provided at that link really explains a lot. Now it all makes sense. After reading the info on the publisher's site, I have come to the conclusion that this whole thing is nothing more than an elaborate publicity stunt by Dr. Bernans and his publisher, Cumulus Press. Here's a brief summary of the info I found at the URL provided: Dr. Bernans requested a room on the Concordia campus to do a reading from his book. Concordia granted the request. A few days later, Concordia informed Dr. Bernans that...
TheRealRalf commented on Fundable rips off Hugo-nominated writer Mary Robinette Kowal
Hi, I must agree with #40. I used fundable.org three years in a row for a browsercam-groupaccount and it just did what it was supposed to. No probs at all. And also everybody is lamenting about the pet-surgery-begs,etc. I really don't get it: Everybody is responsible for the projects he participates in and therefore should also be able to a) get in direct contact with the fundraiser and b) to decide for himself wether it's worth it. I really would like to see fundable up and running again sometime soon....
