Pretty sure if things were replied to like: "Interesting idea, and we've considered this in the past, but it has some challenges that we would need to work out." instead of "You're a fucking moron and this idea makes us all stupider." You might get less people annoyed.

I do my Media Articles on Sunday nights and lots of times they are graded the next day. Usually just about timing.

Always a good job with this.

Screw that. My version of Alberta doesn't include Calgary!

There are also problems with an Oligarchy.

I would play third line if it meant winning more Championships.

Iginla is on a 40 point pace and historically (as in almost every single season) starts really slow. 50 point is still easily within reach or him and he'll provide decent leadership. All of Colorado sucks right now as well. Oh wait, you asked for a hockey expert? Sorry, not me then.

Listened to the new Garth Brooks album yesterday. Has a couple decent songs, but nothing too great.

The VHLPA will fight this to the bitter end.

Yes, but not for too much longer I don;'t think. I don;'t know, there was a rule change so not sure how much longer I stay there,.

Is there a practice facility in the VHL? Thought that was only in the VHLM. Nice!

Not complaining by the way. Right now I don't have time for a job I don't think, so I'll just chug along with my 7 TPE and I'm pretty happy with that.

True. People will sometimes ignore blatant misogyny because they like the way a guy makes music. It goes both ways.

Nothing can in this world, however they can get awfully close, and in the court of law that's all they need.

It's common for victims to wait a really long time to actually come out about being victimized, particularly when the person who victimized you has a position of power/authority, or is really famous. There are tons of high profile cases of this happening in the past. Add in the feeling of shame that many victims feel, and there are all sorts of reasons why it's only now, when multiple people have started coming forward, that momentum starts building and more potential victims come forward. Bill will get his chance to defend himself, and since it's the best system that we have (as faulty as it may be) to determine someone's innocence/guilt, we wait to see what happens. He very well could be guilty or innocent. I guess we will find out.

I'll never keep up with the guys who have time for jobs and are able to grind out the extra TPE on tasks. Hopefully I go to a team which is competitive and I can add another couple championships to my resume. Also hoping I can pass Dougie Daniels TPE totals.

Well, some interesting stuff to think about. The whole interplay between art and censorship is always tough to navigate. It's not that I'm pro censorship, and arresting the guy is not a real solution either (said more because my anger chip is being used currently), but it would give me a lot more faith in humanity if suddenly the guy never made any money because everyone actually valued women. Hit these subhuman freaks in the pocketbook where it really hurts them.

I am not speaking about other genres. Besides, "Well they do it too!" is not a reason to get away with it.

Do Robots from China not qualify?

Oh wow, I didn't even connect those dots together. Brutal. I've enjoyed some of his music, and understood he came from a rough past, so some things can be forgiven. There's zero chance I can get on board with a guy who threatens to rape a woman, joke or otherwise. It's just unfortunate that our culture is such that he'll be forgiven for those attitudes, or worse, applauded.

The Oilers also played a good 20-30 seconds with only 4 players on the ice. Hilariously pathetic.

So, because he sings those words they are fine? Just to clarify, those words were targeted at a specific person.

That's the longest inside joke I've ever read. Didn't understand most of it.

So, I know there are some fans of Eminem here, so I'd love to hear some thoughts on this. In a leaked song called Vegas, he sings: "Put that shit away Iggy. You don't want to blow that rape whistle on me. Scream. I love it. Fore I get lost with the getting off." Now, I have am appreciation for the talent that goes into some of these songs, but as far as I am concerned this is subhuman behaviour from someone to threaten them with rape. I'd personally love to see a guy like Eminem get thrown in prison for this type of stuff to start cleaning up the genre and bring back some respectability to women. It's disgusting, it's dehumanizing, and it's wrong - full stop. Those of you who love this type of music, how do you deal with this type of stuff? It's not just Eminem. You folks are the ones with the power to stop this type of behaviour by not supporting the artists. Does stuff like this make you second guess your music choices?
