Quote: Originally Posted by Bassman Three teams within an hour's drive from each other?? Oh yes, I would consider that oversaturation. How about Toronto taking on a second team, like NY?? That could happen I suppose. It would have to be in Mississauga (a suburb of Toronto) or something though. The Leafs would throw a fit!

Quote: Originally Posted by serenity These are fair points. On the other hand, a lot of cc scientists are claiming that the warnings are INsufficient, rather than too loud. Myself, I'm too plain ignorant to know, to be honest. Well, yes, a lack of accurate information is the core problem. You'll have celebrities walking around and bemoaning just about anything that they care about and then tie in AGW somehow. It's not as if...

Quote: Originally Posted by AgentM I'm not so sure. I doubt if that many Ontarians cross the border regularly to see Buffalo's team (except some Leaf's fans when the Leafs are playing Buffalo maybe), and vice versa for New Yorkers. If they don't put it in Hamilton, I don't know where it'll go, it's hard to find a city as large of Hamilton in Ontario outside of Toronto. I suppose they could put one in...

Britain's nationalised rail network was broken up and privatised several years ago, ostensibly to make financial savings through "efficient" private ownership. The rail track and infrastructure is run by one company, and the rail services by several competing companies.

Quote: Originally Posted by Anna The woman on the team was touring the Osprey - trying to appear knowledgeable - and asked the man accompanying her "So what do they call this - a chopper or (other cool slang names for aircraft)?" And he said, "Well, actually, we call it a plane." Using her expertise of watching hours of war movies on her sofa. What a joke.

Quote: Originally Posted by Anna Fox News and Giuliani were GUESTS allowed to come on board the ship to do their show - to showcase the new ship - NOT to spew partisan politics. The minute they started disrespecting the CIC, they should have been escorted off the ship. IMHO. It was also disrespectful to the ship's personnel - some of whom I'm sure DO support Obama - to force them to sit there and listen to it and give the appearance...

Quote: Originally Posted by Anna After watching for a few minutes this morning because they were doing their show from the new USS New York, it's my opinion they should change their name to "Fruits & Nuts". It's my understanding that members of the military aren't allowed to publicly criticize their Commander in Chief. That being the case, should they have had to sit directly behind Rudy Giuliani and...
