MarkyX has got some nerve insulting my people the day of our national holiday.

If you don't mind it Belz, it's all good. I FOR ONE WON'T STAND FOR IT.

@MarkyX: I'm from Montréal and I don't believe any of the CT's, I think the United States is a great country and I don't think Québec is better than Canada.

So your opinion about Quebecers is complete rubbish and very distastefull.

Not a nice way to make friends.

I was born from quebec and there is a damn good reason why my family decided to move to Ontario.

I've been back there several times in the past but refuse to go there even though my relatives are there. Insults and snobs are just a few choice words to describe when I suddenly start speaking english instead of french.
 
I'm sure you're blowing things out of proportions Marky.

If I went to Alberta and spoke only French, how would people react you think? Do you know the expression "French bashing?"

i type very fast (but not the method where you rest your fingers on teh j and f) and when i use the shift key i tend to make EVEN MORE type-os then i normally do, and i see no need to utilize punctuation as long as what i type can be deciphered without additional effort, forums (at least i believe) are about content, not presentation, so i focus on trying to explain something in a way that people can tell what im talking about, i actually have a decent grasp of grammar and punctuation, and can write quite well, but the more time i spend trying to figure out how to gramatically structure my thoughts the less i manage to relay

No offense, but that's rationalizing your laziness. What you're really saying is that your words--no check that, your thoughts--are so important that you can't be bothered to organize them in a coherent fashion. That's not writing, that's typing (poorly of course).

Your unwillingness to learn touch-typing is symptomatic of this laziness. It should be obvious that you cannot type as fast with the hunt and peck method as you can with touch-typing. Yes, it's a little slower at first, but as you get the hang of it, you will be able to impart more truth (and less trtuh) to more people. Once you've got that down, think about rewriting to sharpen your arguments.

I don't want to over-generalize here, but this seems to be one of the frequent problems with the Loosers. Their time is too important to bother with details, so when somebody shows up to point out flaws in the movie, the response is "Talk to me when you've seen all the other videos at Universal Seed". It's the quantity versus quality argument you allude to with the bit about "the more time i (sic) spend trying to figure out how to gramatically (sic) structure my thoughts the less i (sic) manage to relay".

Debating is a difficult process. It requires research, analysis, preparation and organization. If you skip any of those steps, you might as well show up to a gunfight with a butter knife.

Or he could start his own internet "radio" show. There's always that.

I hadn't been to Ground Zero at night recently, so I stopped by after the screening tonight. Lots of activity there, which is encouraging. There was a time last year when I gave tours there every single day for five months and never saw a single worker at Ground Zero. And that's a HUGE area. They're two years behind schedule there.

Gravy, what do you and the other NYC'ers here think of the plans for GZ? I've been following the whole thing since the outset (mostly with disgust, I'm sad to say), and I'm not optimistic that what they're planning to do there is going to end up satisfying anyone.

As for WTC7....I thought the picture looked kinda cool actually, but I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person. The steel blast protection looks like *****.

It's funny... I was at GZ a few years ago and walked the perimeter of the site. Walked right up in front of the new WTC7. At the time I had NO IDEA about the WTC7 controversy and that I'd be debating it with a bunch of lunatics a few years later. I wish I had known more about what I was looking at at the time.
 
By the way, in case anyone didn't know, JREF users "Brainster" and "JamesB" are the brains behind the Screw Loose Change blog. They seem rather unexplainably modest about this, but they deserve a plug, because their blog is hilarious and smart and the source of hours of 9/11 CT entertainment. I hadn't visited in a while and read some of the posts this morning, and other JREF'ers might appreciate a reminder to visit over there, too, periodically.

From the Blog,

Yeah, OK. Obviously Specialist Rowe didn't learn anything when he was assaulting with the first wave into Afghanistan. A Javelin, which looks even less like a Boeing 767 than a cruise missile does, has a shaped charge warhead of all of 8.5KG, and would not punch a 90 foot wide hole in the side of the Pentagon, and continue through 3 rings of the Pentagon while dispersing airplane parts, much less cause a huge fireball billowing into the air.

:D "While dispersing airplane parts" That's rich.

wow, this is a great site. I love his humour, and his drawing.

I like this one especially. :D http://www.filibustercartoons.com/archive.php?id=20060513

Been his follower for years now. COnservative BC cartoonist and had a few exchanges with him before when he mocked Ontario voters (we are not all dumb!). His cartoons are a random hit or miss.

Strangely enough, I find his articles on Canada much more informative and educational than my high school :eye-poppi
 
Thanks. That is the first time anyone has ever called me "modest". It usually goes something along the lines of, "Shut the %^#@ up you arrogant @#$!"

His guide to Canada is not bad, of course I don't completely agree with his views on Québec, but that's expected;)

I don't mind being mocked at from time to time, as long as it's well intentioned.

Thanks, we get some of our best material from this forum and its members.

Just thought I'd provide a little explanation on my nick; it's not intended as a boast about cranial capacity. I posted for years on Usenet with the somewhat more self-deprecating nickname of Brain Death (long story), so when I started blogging I tried to create the Brain Death blogspot, but was dismayed to find it already taken. So I decided to call my main blog (mostly center-right politics and sports) "Brainster" a la the Saturday Night Live character who did riffs on names, calling Mike, "The Mikester! Mikaroonius!"

Funny you should say that. You'd think that after our 3 monster Loose Change threads (with, what, 150,000+ views and hundreds of pages, and who knows how many contributors and subsidiary threads) that JREF would've exhausted all the possibilities for stupidity that that silly video had to offer. After following this thread for two months, I thought I'd seen it all.

But your blog shows that, as much stupidity as you think is present in Loose Change, there's always more to discover. It's like a bottomless pit of stupidity. Its depths can never be fully plumbed.
 
So true, as Allahpundit on Hotair said, during our first couple of weeks of blogging:

The first rule of blogging is to choose a subject that will supply you with an endless source of material to criticize. Mission accomplished, boys.

Popular Mechanics has already traveled this road, of course, but as you can see from the Google Video top twenty, there’s no shortage of patriotic dissidents who need reminding.
