I personally think there is, and while we all know there are definately political slants in media coverage and while I believe this in itself is a form of censorship, I am refering more towards the omitting of facts, the "spinning", concentrated ownership and the overabundance of fluff stories that saturate our airwaves and other informational medium.

It would be interesting to see how Robert the Bruce would have fared against Edward I on the field, but from what I have read, Bruce used sound guerilla tactics to defeat Edward II's armies. I see no reason not to believe it would have been as effective or nearly so against Edward I, who was a brilliant strategist in his own right. However, the utter incompetence of Edward II surely played a factor, as you have surmised.

I doubt that was the reason: Every politician, no matter their political affiliation or where they go, is subject to heckling from someone. Every democracy has its Parrish and (Svend) Robinson

Well, while I did enjoy Braveheart, I certainly don't consider it to be an historical account. Robert the Bruce is a far more important figure than William Wallace, and a better militiary strategist, something that is not at all touched on in the movie.

I think Bush's refusal to speak to Parliament is a backhanded response to the constant sniping from the Liberals (which Martin is a part of) towards him. Serves them right.

John ignored it anyways. The credit for the development of parliament should go to Edward I. He was the real greatest king of the English Middle Ages. Edward I was responsible for the development of Parliament? I thought was famous for expanding his rule over the entirety of the British Isles by basically making Wales and Scotland his bitch. They show his statue under his entry on the Wikipedia site; he looks evil. In a badass way.

Well, if he has a Keith's, he won't be going back to that English stuff.

The end result is still the same, regardless if they call it a hate crime or not. -
How could I have forgotten...... The Greatest American Hero!

They both were the suck.

Edison, in all seriousness. His face should be on your currency.

The guy in your sig, on the right.

I agree. The law does not recognize children as having the capacity of an adult, therefore it would be unjust for a child to be treated as an adult unless under the most heinous of circumstances.

Bell is Canadian only by the most generous sense of the term: He would vacation here and he retired here. In fact the place he would finally retire in is about a 45 minute drive from where I live. MacDonald has a far more legitimate claim to being Canadian than Bell does.

It's a toss up between Michaelangelo, Guttenburg and Caesar.

I don't understand how Dupree can be blamed for the firing of Billy Gunn or any of the other "talent" as it is Vince McMahon that decides to stays and who goes. Unless Dupree is the second coming of HHH.

Snow is less a novelty then it is a hideous inconvience that cuts off your power, makes the roads dangerous, forces you to go outside and shovel the driveway, the whole time waiting for the plow to come and fill your driveway with snow again, makes you cold & wet, and in some cases (like mine) makes your job three times as hard. Sure, snow can be cool, if you're a kid who doesn't have to shovel and drive and work. And plus, snow days mean time to have fun, not time to sit around and think about how much money you're not making. As you may have noticed, I hate snow with an unbridled passion. I know exactly how you feel. Good damn NS winters.

The pic of Ashlee Simpson on the far left looks alright, imo.

Would you turn down $18/hour to sit on your ass all day collecting tolls from passing motorists?

Dupree needs to be put in charge of Talent relations and management.

My eyes! My eyes~!

It's a lost cause because religious organizations refuse to allow proper sexual education and contraceptives to be distributed throughout Africa. Also the myth about have sex with a virgin curing you of AIDS also plays a factor, but again this is due to ignorance.

I picked Banting. Trudeau is one of our worst PM's, and he is absolutely reviled in the West, hell some of them were publically cheering his death.
