hmmm have they talked to Canada yet about using the northwest passage? I mean since it is Canadian water all the way? The US has a Terrority dispute about it with Canada because they don't want it to be controlled by the Government of Canada but since it is within 200km of Canadian islands on both sides of the passage it would be hard to say it isn't Canadian Territory. That means since it is traveling through Canadian Territory it could be subject to Canadian Electronic Transfer tariffs.

Interesting talking about traceability and saying Canada can't do it.. we have the same system of tags assigned at birth and we can track cattle all the way to the market - the only difference is that it is not put on the label for consumers (otoh CFIA can find out all the details instantly.) in fact in the last year we switched from ear tags with code numbers to rfid which can be read by remote readers even because ear tags have to be manually handled. When calves are born they are ssigned a ear tag with the number and a rfid chip, when this animal is moved it is recorded for the CFIA. when it is slaughtered it is recorded by the CFIA ... when it is shipped out to stores the packers must keep track of this information for the CFIA.

As long as the guards are trustworthy.. Unfortunately that has not been true in many cases lately

might I suggest reading: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12240525

the hakapik is very humane in 98% of all cases... the remaining 2% are why the government watches sealers (as per the dfo document)

obviously Damien15 you don't do your own research..... Seal Clubbing is not a manner that seals are hunted in the normal course of seal hunting. Hakapiks are used yes... but they are single blow weapons meant to put down seals quickly usually after someone missed with the proper weapon.

Why go there? Well I think it was obvious. They went to Yemen to help out, Doctors and Nurses to help with health care in the tribal regions. They were being good citizens of the world. Their acts of kindness mitigate the threat of terrorism 1000% more effectively then anything an army can do. They are winning the hearts and minds of the people.

IWF.... fine with me as well. As a game designer - the more sales the better!

As with all surgical procedures the success rate will climb with time... A Fix like this is way better then an unpredictable drug which has been know to have strange interactions with other meds and foods. Short term... drug therapy ... long term this procedure.

Really... No. Its not a good idea. 1) You dont know about this person - especially their sexual history 2) Sex != Romance 3) Physical Intimacy is usually better suited after a Romantic Intimacy

aka... first date sex is just whoring ... what diseases you get and what emotional attachment you develop has nothing to do with your connection to the person
