    I am surprised Burrows did not get suspended for game 2. He is now Head Villain in Boston. Two goals and an assist in a game he definitely should not been playing in. Lapierre taunted Bergeron during an end of the whistle scrum by putting his finger in Bergeron's face and opening his mouth...

    There is no way Israel is going to go to the 1967 borders. Those are strategic positions they value, and it would be foolish for them do so. Maybe a compromise of a size of land equal of that to the 1967 borders parceled out for a Palestinian state, yes, but for them to go to a width of only 8...

    Libya in new hands

    Re: Allied Forces at War with Libyan Regime 12 days past the 60 day deadline for President Obama to ask congressional approval for military action. No one has made a peep about it. I wonder why?

    Vancouver has an awful lot of fire power. They are big, strong, mean and can really skate. They have a lot of team speed. Boston needs to keep it along the boards and in the corners. That is their strength and it can take away the speed of the Canucks. I think if the Bruins can chip, chase and...

    The reason for the blockade is to try and control the flow of weapons and bomb making materials, not deny Palestinians food, water or basic medical supplies. I think it would be best if the Palestinians had their own state, but sadly I don't think it will lead to lasting peace between Israel and...

    I am married to a Boston girl. If they win, I will never hear the end of it. Go 'Nucks!

    Lady Gaga: 'IRON MAIDEN Changed My Life'

    Lady Gaga is an avid Maiden fan. Somen's taste in music does'nt necessarily dictate the style of music they can make. If they did a collaberation with her, I would'nt question their artistic integrity. I believe it would be a passion project. After 35 years of doing it their own way, no matter...

    Doubt about the song "Iron Maiden".

    The medieval torture device wants you for dead, not the band ;)

    Immigration did indeed fuel this country's growth. But in this day and age there needs to be control of the flow. I just wish the politicians on both sides were serious about all sides of the debate, instead of using the issue as a political football. As for a pathway to citizenship, there...

    There is going to have to be some kind of immigration reform. An amnsesty to keep around 70% of the illegals. Maybe a lottery where they would have to register, be able to have their backgrounds verified, no criminal records, education etc. I would be 100% for this if not only would they secure...

    It would be good if a Canadian based team won the Cup. Maybe the third time is the charm for Vancouver. The reasons I have no respect for Heatley is that he treated the Ottawa Senators like shit. Demanded a trade because he could'nt win with Ottawa. After he was given a second chance not only...

    Osama bin Laden Killed

    A photo of a dead bin Laden would fuel a whole new generation of martyrs. Uday and Q'asay Hussein were the spoiled heirs of a dictator of a secular country and were despised by many Iraqis, so a photo of them dead did not make anyone take up arms in thier memory. bin Laden is  a more religeous...

    Brian Rafalski retires...I am shocked. I would have thought Lidstrom would hang them up before him. I am impressed that Thornton and Marleau played so well this postseason. Too bad Stetoguchi, Pavelski and the Dany "The Douche" Heatley could'nt get any points. I think Vancouver can beat either...

    It appears  Derek Boogaard died from a mix of alcohol and Oxycodone :( Amazing comeback by the Lightning yesterday. Thought they were out of it. Atlanta has been sold to an ownership group from Winnipeg. Hope they bring back the Jets.

    There are enities at work who use the plight of the Palestinians for thier own purposes. Exploiting them to try and destroy Israel. I feel for them, because there is no one looking out for their best interests. If everyone had pure intentions, then there would be two states by now. By that, I...

    I don't know what will become of the settlements in the West Bank if the Palestinian State is created there.  Like I said earlier, the Palestinians deserve a homeland, deserve to be able to move without restictions and deserve to self determine. That being said, there is going to have to be some...

    I see your point LC.  But if Perun and you have tried to kill me, would it be reasonable for me to want the biggest, tallest and sturdiest fence that I can build? What if there were house guests that went on my property and killed and maimed my pets?  I am not so concerned as to who has their...

    Shi'a and Sunnis are very much diametrically opposed in theology, and it has to do with the successors of Mohamed, who they follow. I know I am over simplifying. In addition to the UN-partitioned area allotted to the Jewish state, Israel captured and incorporated[citation needed]a further 26%...
