[And don't tell me I'm being sexist, because I'm not.]

lol what a loser who doesn't know what in the hell he's talking about. Needs to stick to football.

he's a walking contradiction

[font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]"A high school senior named Candace Parker enters the (boys) slam dunk competition at the 2004 McDonald's All-American Game, gently pushes the ball through the rim, and wins the event. J.R. Smith practically sat on the basket for a few of his dunks, but Parker won because, well, she won because she was a girl. And don't tell me I'm being sexist, because I'm not. The [em]judges[/em] were being sexist for symbolically patting Parker on her pretty little head and telling her, my, what a sweet thing she is."

[/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"] But this was not all that impressive. Not if you look with the jaded eyes of neutrality, which very few of you undoubtedly possess. Then again, maybe I don't possess those eyes either. Not on Danica Patrick. She has rubbed me the wrong way for years, including her ridiculous marketing choices, like when she stares seductively into the camera to hawk antifreeze or pretends to peel down her racing suit and makes beaver jokes -- I'm not making that up -- for GoDaddy.com.

- next paragraph-

[/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"] Patrick has bugged me for a while, and I'll tell you exactly when it started: It started in July 2006 when she said she was considering a move to NASCAR. No problem there. But then she smugly wondered how high those TV ratings would be. Big problem there. At the time, Patrick was 10th on the Indy Racing League -- 10th out of the 15 drivers who raced every week. She was a non-factor on her B-list racing circuit. And she's wondering about the ratings for her NASCAR debut? Hey, sweetheart, try [em style="font-weight: bold;"]qualifying[/em]       for a NASCAR event. Then we'll talk ratings.    [/font][/p][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]    [/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"] If you're wondering why I'm wrapping a wet blanket around what Mike Freeman is foolishly calling a warm and snuggly story, that's the biggest reason: the IRL is not real racing. Not real good racing, anyway. It's not the best car circuit in this country -- that would be NASCAR -- and it's not even the best open-wheel series in the world. That would be Formula One.[/font][/p][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]Those are details nobody wants to hear, and I don't understand why. Maybe you think I'm sexist for pointing those details out. Maybe I think you're sexist for not wanting to know, for wanting instead to feel good about the pioneering done by Patrick and therefore to feel good about your socially uplifted self rather than holding women, and men, to the same standards. [/font][/p][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]    [/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"] Drag-racer Shirley Muldowney won the NHRA's elite Top Fuel season championship three times. Jockey Julie Krone won more than 3,700 career horse races, including the 1993 Belmont. After the Professional Women's Bowling Association went under in 2003, three PBWA bowlers -- Liz Johnson, Kelly Kulick and Cathy Dorin-Lizzi -- joined the men's tour and earned their way into fields. [/font][/p][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]    [/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"] Those are all remarkable stories of women vs. men, but if you ask me, the most impressive story involves Michelle Wie. Before unraveling at the hands of her pushy parents and marketing reps, Wie nearly made the cut at the 2004 Sony Open on the PGA Tour. She shot an even-par 140. She finished ahead of nearly 70 male professionals and missed the cut by just one stroke. She was 14 years old. [/font][/p][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]    [/font][font face="Arial, Helvetica" size="2"]      That beats the hell out of anything Patrick did this weekend, or next       weekend, or any weekend, on the IRL

He has to repeat twice how much he dislikes Danica Patrick. The "Hey sweetheart" is condescening and putting women in a lower class, hence sexist. lol

Plus the fact that he thinks Nascar is the best racing series in North America disregards anything he has to say about auto racing. If you want to go pure talent wise, ALMS people are the best.

Wie has never made a cut or hasn't even won on the women's tour. Professional bowling is not in the same category as auto racing and nhra has a different history that you can't compare to. For example Ashley Force just won a race this weekend. Now is this guy going to say Ashley Force won because of her famous daddy and equipment? total f*cking bullshit.

After Patrick finished 4th in the Indianapolis 500 a racer in the event said she was faster then everyone because she was lighter then the rest. Auto racing is the most sexist activity besides old white males and their country clubs.

Wouldn't suspect anything better from CBS with a history of sexists in their sport department.

[h1]                                         Florida lawmakers debate offering a Christian licence plate[/h1]
[img]http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080424/capt.114f229bd6244fd396374d6c1ff10453.religious_license_plate_mh101.jpg?x=400&y=183&sig=vQxeqJRfnTaGHWBOD7_rjw--"]


lol.... sad.

Florida drivers can order more than 100 specialty licence plates celebrating everything from manatees to the Miami Heat, but one now under consideration would be the first in the nation to explicitly promote a specific religion.[/p] The Florida Legislature is considering a specialty plate with a design that includes a Christian cross, a stained-glass window and the words "I Believe."[/p] Rep. Edward Bullard, the plate's sponsor, said people who "believe in their college or university" or "believe in their football team" already have license plates they can buy. The new design is a chance for others to put a tag on their cars with "something they believe in," he said.[/p] If the plate is approved, Florida would become the first state to have a licence plate featuring a religious symbol that's not part of a college logo. Approval would almost certainly face a court challenge.[/p] The problem with the state manufacturing the plate is that it "sends a message that Florida is essentially a Christian state" and, second, gives the "appearance that the state is endorsing a particular religious preference," said Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.[/p] The "I Believe" licence plate still has a way to go before it reaches the roads. The proposal is part of a package of licence plates being debated in the Senate and ready for a floor vote. In the House, the bill that would authorize the plate has passed one committee 8-2. The Legislature's annual session ends May 2.[/p] Some lawmakers say the state should be careful. Rep. Kelly Skidmore said she is a Roman Catholic and goes to Mass on Sundays, but she believes the "I Believe" plate is inappropriate for the government to produce.[/p] "It's not a road I want to go down. I don't want to see the Star of David next. I don't want to see a Torah next. None of that stuff is appropriate to me," said Skidmore, a Democrat who voted against the plate in committee. "I just believe that."[/p] Florida's specialty licence plates require the payment of additional fees, some of which go to causes the plates endorse.[/p] One plate approved in 2004, displaying the motto "Family Values," funds Sheridan House, which provides family programs but also sees its purpose as "sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Bible" and "information about the Christian faith."[/p]This isn't the first time a Florida licence plate design has created religious controversy. In 1999, lawmakers approved a bright yellow "Choose Life" licence plate with a picture of a boy and girl. It raises money for agencies that encourage women to not have abortions. That generated a court battle, with abortion rights groups saying the plate had religious overtones. But it was ruled legal, and about a dozen states now have similar plates.[/p]

Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft. Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.[/p] Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.[/p] Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.[/p]
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.[/p] "I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.[/p] "But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'," he said.[/p] Some Kinshasa residents accuse a separatist sect from nearby Bas-Congo province of being behind the witchcraft in revenge for a recent government crackdown on its members.[/p] "It's real. Just yesterday here, there was a man who was a victim. We saw. What was left was tiny," said 29-year-old Alain Kalala, who sells phone credits near a Kinshasa police station.[/p][a href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/080423/odds/odd_witchcraft_dc"]http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/080423/odds/odd_witchcraft_dc[/a]

[/span][!-- /dateline --]MONTREAL — The burned-out shells of at least five Montreal police cars littered the city's downtown early Tuesday morning after vandals torched and smashed vehicles and damaged businesses to punctuate a first-round NHL playoff victory celebration.  A massive crowd celebrating the Canadiens seventh-game victory Monday over the Boston Bruins filled downtown streets Monday and had started to disperse just before midnight when smaller pockets started the violence. There were no initial reports of injuries.[/p]  Jean-Francois Hotte said the incident degenerated quickly as police started chasing people.[/p]  "One minute we were all hanging out and celebrating and then all hell broke out," Mr. Hotte said.

A dog that ran off during a road-trip rest stop apparently made her way nearly 135 kilometres across Nevada's high desert and two mountain ranges to return home a week later.   Moon, a Siberian husky, was reunited April 14 with owner Doug Dashiell, who had last seen her April 6 near Railroad Valley, about 120 kilometres from his home in Ely, Nevada. [/p]  Moon, who is nearly two years old, was no worse for the wear, with the exception of stinking like a skunk that apparently sprayed her somewhere along the journey.
[/p]Molea called the clinic because the dog was wearing a tag from it. The dog's journey would have taken her across the White River and Ward mountain ranges.

Canada has highest level of over-qualified young workers

"This generation is much more interested in finding meaning in their careers and being part of a community of people who they want to participate with. They highly value working with great people and having a great boss," said Graham Donald, president of Brainstorm Consulting, a Toronto-based company that advises companies on college recruiting.

With lifestyle or workstyle paramount, college and university graduates are less motivated by salary (which still has to be competitive) Donald advises, and companies should ensure that the Gen Y-friendly aspects of the company are highlighted.

I think this is a reaction to the "new right" conservatism (yuppies) along with mass consumerist culture that took hold in the 80s. We're the first generation that has grown up in a mass consumerist society post cold war. There's no real meaning to our existence in terms of what to do with ourselves (no cause or point to life). We live vicariously through the internet on message boards bored at work because there's nothing to do. We live on updating our facebook page everyday. We read and watch celebrity news and gossip which has become more important in our lives, then our own needs within the community. We aren't driven by money to be rich but money so we can buy more toys. We don't have a cause to rally around, there's no civil rights movement, social awareness etc. we've all become apathetic folks like in the movie Office Space.

 Jacques Myard, of the UMP party, has urged the company that runs most of France's TV networks to reconsider. [/p] Sebastien Tellier's entry, entitled Divine, combines both English and French lyrics with electro music. [/p] France's culture minister has defended the song, saying the country should fully support his bid for victory.

Mr Myard told the BBC that allowing an English song to represent France was a fiasco: "The French language is the tool of a huge industry in terms of cultural influence and if we French give up our language, what do you think the others will say?"

Mr Myard, himself a fluent English speaker, said it was not appropriate that, in a European contest, France should "monkey another's culture".

the song lyrics in question:
I'm looking for a band today/ I see the Chivers anyway/ Through my eyes/ Oh oh oh I'm/ I'm alone in life to say/ I love the Chivers anyway/ 'Cause Chivers look divine/ Look away/ They try to find the Milky Way/ They love to drink it every day/ No no no you/ You and I, it's like you said/ I'm not a Chivers anyway/ You look fine

I don't get the programmers here, keep CBC 2 classical, bring back CBC 3 for pop, and create a CBC 4 if wanted to for Jazz and such.

look at the BBC

BBC World Service - World News
BBC Radio 1 - Pop culture/pop music
BBC 2 - adult oriented entertainment/music
BBC 3- classical
BBC 4- news (like cbc 1)
BBC 5 - sport, live call in, etc  

Apparently Butt pulled the plug didn't want the show to lag. Network of course wanted it to go on.

government now will get to decide what is deemed appropriate for the canadian public. classic censorship 101. Sounds like the U.S. Catholic Church and their Bishops review of movies. The Bishops watch the movies and then tell the flock "oh this is not appropriate for your minds".

the future of canadian entertainment right here:

 The following movies have been evaluated by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop's Office for Film and Broadcasting according to artistic merit and moral suitability. The reviews include the USCCB rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.    [!--The reviews can be heard by calling 1-800-311-4CCC. The movie review line is updated each Friday and includes information about six theater releases and a Family Video of the Week.  For a full review of recent films, check your local Catholic diocesan newspaper.  --]  The classifications are as follows:
  [/p][ul][li]A-I -- general patronage; [/li][li]A-II -- adults and adolescents;  [/li][li]A-III -- adults; [/li][li]L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV. [/li][li]O -- morally offensive[/li][/ul]
at least the bishops are getting some what better. It used to be "morally offensive"  "morally objectionable in part for all,"  "condemned".

 "For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti

overtaken in us? sounds like it was a war or something. lol

 When considering all Christians and not just Catholics, Christians make up 33 per cent of the world population, Formenti said.

Since when did the Roman Catholic Church consider everyone else "Christians"? I went to a catholic school it was always "so you're a different religion then us". lol

[h3]Housing B.C. homeless would save $211M: report[/h3]A study says providing shelter for the homeless with severe addictions and mental illness throughout British Columbia could save taxpayers millions of dollars.   "Addiction is the most prevalent mental health problem in both the street homeless and at-risk populations, followed by concurrent disorders and, less frequently, mental illness alone,'' says the Simon Fraser University report. [/p]  The paper -- entitled "Housing and Support for Adults With Severe Addictions and/or Mental Illnesses in British Columbia'' -- says providing non-housing services for such people costs the public system more than $55,000 per year per person. [/p]  It says providing adequate housing and supports could reduce this cost to $37,000 per year. [/p]  The team of researchers -- from SFU, the University of British Columbia and the University of Calgary -- says the overall "cost avoidance'' of such a plan is about $211 million per year. [/p]  "The costs of providing supported housing and other health services to this population . . . is lower than the cost incurred through the use of emergency departments, the corrections system and emergency shelters when they are homeless,'' the report says.

In a country and fully developed world which preaches that everyone is equal; that goes to other countries and demand equality in the places don't have equality, we sure like treating our own well. When will we as a society realize we're stronger as a whole if everyone is truly "created equal".  Homeless people aren't some pest of society, they're Canadians and people just like the rest of us.

 

A painful breakup with his wife has prompted a man to put his entire life - his house, his car, his job, even his friends - up for sale online in an effort to start over.   Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, said Tuesday he would auction everything he owns and more on e-Bay starting June 22. "On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all," Usher says on his website. [/p]  Up for bid is Usher's three-bedroom house in the western city of Perth and everything inside it, his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear. [/p]  Usher says he is also selling a one-time introduction to his friends and a trial run at his job - a plan endorsed by his friends and his employer. [/p]  In media interviews on Tuesday, Usher said he wants a fresh start after realizing that most things in his current life remind him of the relationship he had with the wife of five years whom he broke up with more than a year ago. [/p]  "Everything that I have - the furniture in the house - all has memories attached to it," Usher, 44, told Seven Network television. "It's time to shed the old, and in with the new." [/p]  Usher said his life will be sold in one lot, and that bidders should expect to pay more than 420,000 Australian dollars (US$390,000; Ç250,000), which is the upper end of a realtor's valuation of his house that he has posted online.

                World's best-known protest symbol turns 50

The "Ban the Bomb" symbol was born. [/p]He considered using a Christian cross motif but, instead, settled on using letters from the semaphore - or flag-signalling - alphabet, super-imposing N (uclear) on D (isarmament) and placing them within a circle symbolising Earth. [/p]The sign was quickly adopted by CND.  [/p]Holtom later explained that the design was "to mean a human being in despair" with arms outstretched downwards.  [/p]US peace symbol [/p]American pacifist Ken Kolsbun, who corresponded with Mr Holtom until his death in 1985, says the designer came to regret the connotation of despair and had wanted the sign inverted.

"In fact, the semaphore sign for U in 'unilateral' depicts flags pointing upwards. Mr Holtom was all for unilateral disarmament." [/p]In a book to commemorate the symbol's 50th birthday, Mr Kolsbun charts how it was transported across the Atlantic and took on additional meanings for the Civil Rights movement, the counter-culture of the 1960s and 70s including the anti-Vietnam protests, and the environmental, women's and gay rights movements. [/p]He also argues that groups opposed to those tendencies tried to use the symbol against them by distorting its message.  [/p]How the sign migrated to the US is explained in various ways. Some say it was brought back from the Aldermaston protest by civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, a black pacifist who had studied Gandhi's techniques of non-violence.
