Some guy's adventures

The worst movies ever made/seen:

1) The star wars holiday special;

2) Monsturd;

3) Children of the living dead;

4) Battlefield earth;

This isn't counting films from Troma that are intended to be bad (Toxic Avenger, etc).

What are your pics?

Terri Schiavo made prior arrangements with her Husband to terminate her life by removing life support in the event that she suffered an event which left her brain dead.

5 neurologists (2 selected by the parents, 2 selected by the husband, and one court appointed doctor) all agree that she is brain dead.

She has been in a vegetative state for 15 years and lately has taken a severe turn for the worse. She does not respond to any stimuli whatsoever.

It is time to let her go.

The seal hunt is a very divisive issue. I hope you will read to the end to understand my viewpoint before you judge me.

I think the seal hunt is a good idea and should be expanded. Everyone should eat seal meat at least once a week.

At the heart of the seal hunt are a tribe of indiginous Canadian people called the Innu. They were, untill recently, a self-sufficient group of people. They would follow the Caribou, killing some and moving their homes with the herds. There were no social problems.

The Canadian government decided the Innu had a right to education, health, and proper homes so they built homes for the Innu and gave them schools and a small hospital. Everyone would agree that this *sounds* like a good idea.

What the government failed to consider is that the Innu had a nomadic culture thousands of years old. Their education consisted of learning to hunt caribou, seals, and bears, to fish, and to find or build shelter. When they gave them "proper" education, they took this knowledge from them. The establishment of permanent houses prevented them from following the herds to hunt Caribou. The hospital is barely maintained as there is a shortage of doctors in Canada, let alone doctors who will work in Canada's north.

The Innu today are plagued by drug and alcohol abuse of epidemic proportions. Diabetes and obesity, once virtually unknown in Innu, are also epidemic. In case you are wondering, the drugs of choice are Pam, Airplane Glue and Gasoline, all of which are avaliable at the government run stores. Some Indian rights activists tried to get the sale of Pam and airplane glue banned, but civil rights lawyers decided it would be racist to do so. Unemployment is at or near 90 percent in some communities.

How do the seals enter into the Innu situation? The seals are there. There are millions of them. They are not endangered. The seal hunt is giving jobs to local Innu and providing a means of escaping the cycle of poverty, drug abuse and suicide.

For that reason alone, the seal hunt is needed. However, also consider that seals just aren't nice animals. They produce thousands of tonnes of acidic waste, which makes small islands uninhabitable for years, and consume tonnes of fish which helps to contribute to the decline of the fishing industry.

Some of you reading this are angry now and might be thinking something like "Too bad for the fisherman, the seals need to eat too". If you really believe that, give up all of your savings, move to newfoundland and be unemployed. Then you have a basis to say what the people of Newfoundland should do.

Further to that, i would like to say that any anti-seal hunt activist who is threatening a boycott of Canadian goods and tourism has no basis for following through on that threat. The tourism boycott was tried last time. Newfoundland had no upsurge in tourism for a period of ten years after the seal hunt was banned.

To sum up, the seal hunt is vital to the Innu and other tribes, and would help the people of newfoundland to improve their financial state.

Jetsgo, Canada's 3rd largest airline, went out of business. Things like this happen all the time, so it's not that unusual. What is unusual is the way that the company went out of business. The management of Jetsgo is filled with such scum-ridden parasites it is hard to believe. Consider the following:

1) Jetsgo continued to recieve online bookings till the day before they collapsed. Anyone who bought a ticket online is pretty much screwed.

2) The pilots had to pay a "loyalty bond". This is a pretty common practice in the industry. It is intended to stop pilots from leaving a low paying employer (jetsgo) and getting a real job after Jetsgo paied for their certification. The industry standard is around 5000 dollars. Jetsgo charged their pilots 30 000 dollars each. The pilots who were hired in their expansion two months ago had to get loans to pay this bond, and now they are out of luck.

3) All jetsgo planes that were owned and not rented were flown to quebec to prevent their seizure by various airport authorities across Canada. They owed millions to Toronto, for example.

4) After the planes were flown to quebec from various locations, the remaining pilots and crew were stranded and had to pay for their own way back. That is the lowest thing you can do to your employees. How would you react if you woke up in New York or LA and found out you had no job, no way to get home, and nowhere to stay after that day?

5) Jetsgo planes were so badly managed they were literally falling apart. Engine debris was found on a runway in Calgary after takeoff. Transport Canada was close to yanking their flight licence and grounding their fleet. They had already restricted them to low altitude flights only.

6) Ending operations at the start of March Break is dirty pool. A lot of people paied money for seats, and their plans are ruined now. The airplane tickets are the least of their problems. If you paied 300$ for tickets to and from a location, you are also losing out on the hotel reservations, car rentals, etc. If you paied in advance it is pretty much game over

7) The President, Michel Leblanc, had done this before at least twice with the same results. He gave himself a hefty bonus this time around.

I knew a lot of people from Jetsgo, they were all decent people who worked hard for that airline and they deserved better.

I will start off with a weird story. At home one night i saw a movie I hadn't seen or thought of in ages, Night of the creeps. I had a crush on the female lead (Jill Whitlow) since i was 15.

I saw night of the creeps on the sci-fi channel in Early January and for some reason i could not get her out of my mind.

One day at work, i was bored and sitting there and this woman walks by and says hello. I say hello back and then it hits me.

It's Jill Whitlow. Apparently i have known her (very casually) for some time. Now this was a major league freak out for me. Things like this don't happen. Something has gone wrong with the fabric of space time and must be repaired at once lest someone take advantage of it. I bought two super sevens.

I am guessing that my brain kept kicking me in my head (???) and screaming "You know that woman" and that is why i kept thinking about her. I feel like a hairy lois lane.

So... Wow!!! I met Jill Whitlow in person, sort of. I mean, i had met her before but not known who she was or anything.

That is my weird story for today and i will post more stuff later.
