[Has the Western World Lost Moderate/Centrist Politics?]

I don't know where else to put this and I sure as heel am not going to start a topic on it!

 

When you are banning bastions of free thought and public learning from your events, you just might have become the person you claim to despise most.

 

This group has banned both UBC and the Public Library from their "Inclusivity Event". Has the Left gone so far up their ass that they have met with the right on the other side? It starting to trend that way.

[Ferland vs Canucks 2015]

That Canucks team was weak AF and Ferland was out there with something to prove.

 

He's one of us now but I'm not expecting him to perform like that night in and night out.

But wasn't that apollo 11 mission the only time humans "supposedly" landed on the moon?  I am not a NASA follower, I just dont get why if it did happen way back then why hasn't anyone gone back 

 

Pretty sure we were told to stop Trespassing and not come back.

Replace the word "rodeos" with "animals".

 

Also, "the world turning like it always has".

 

It changes, over time.  All things do.  And kids love everything that involves a carnival like environment.  Throw some balloons up and tell them it's a party and they're in.  

 

I don't buy this marketing spiel.  At all.  Sounds like a pile of cow poop to me.

 

See what you want to see. 

 

It has evolved, a lot.

 

Animals are now considered sentient beings and not property. Nobody is kicking and beating animals at the rodeo, that is complete non-sense. KoS said what, 61 horses over 35 years or something like that? In the context of the hundreds of thousands of horses that have attended in that time, I don't think it sounds that crazy. Alarmists sitting in tidy little boxes, living in tiny little bubbles might read more into, I guess.

 

Marketing? Not sure what you are on about here.

 Whatever.  Why do you read a thread on the stampede evolving if you have no interest in the topic.

Very weird.    

Rodeos are beautiful. They are cultural. They are Social. They are fundamental, even to people who live in the city. They showcase beautiful creatures of the earth in a way that they were bred for. They showcase animal husbandry, which is a way of life and very impressive the more you understand it. You see animals being "stressed", I see the world turning like it always has. Some horses die, some cowboys have their faces bashed in, but that's not the point, that is not the entertainment. It's not like NASCAR where there is literally nothing to look forward to except for the occasional carnage, you have it all wrong. Take some kids to a rodeo and tell me how terrible a place it is.

 

If you don't like feed lot's and slaughterhouses, you should have a real appreciation for what the rodeo is: It's life happening before your eyes, maybe you don't realize it for what it is.

Yah, i am sure calfs love being repeatedly roped / tackled and twisted.....  Do you think it could be a bit stressful for them ?    but are they well kept as well.  So then its OK right ?

 

It's not just calfs. I dated this girl once, from Surrey....oh never mind.

61 horses killed for adult entertainment should be seen as a serious issue.    Do you ever kick your pet dog to provide some sick entertainment for your friends..... ?  I am sure not.    Why is OK to mistreat other animals such as steers / bulls / calfs ? 

 

Yeah but those 61 horses are in the ring of honour. We're still talking about them!

 

You ever punched a 'roo?

I'm thinking about doing this too. I had NHL 11 then NHL 13. Took a break for six years and bought NHL 19. I may skip the next one... we'll see.

 

Been buying every 2-3 years since '94 plus I had Blades of Steel NES. That was the first one I remember where you could actually pick cities incl. Van and the colour scheme of the jerseys was close.

 

 Bought 19 but going to have to get 20 as well based on roster changes.

Watching animals suffer for entertainment is really not  in the same category in my opinion......

 

People need to stop projecting human emotions onto everything.

 

Some animals have jobs and are happy doing those jobs. Others job is to become protein sustenance for other animals. Real life stuff, it's not always neatly packaged.

[Will this Canucks team be better then our 2014-15 playoff team?]

Big question for me is Goaltending. Will be make or break.

 

Of course staying healthy on D is a big one too.

 

Can we be a good enough possession team to overcome weakness on G and D?

You....really don't rank quite that high on my scale to be honoured enough to claim I have been triggered.  Just pointing out your laughable hypocrisy.  I'd have to care about you to care about your opinion enough to be upset by it.

 

it's more just like the bleating of a sheep, or a fart in a pub than anything else.  You're making noise to make noise and ip toeing around open bigotry.  I really enjoyed how you managed to use muslims AND the LGBTQ community in one post to further your political statements though.  Claiming they are all murderers while also calling the entire LGBTQ community indecent perverts is an impressive feat of mental hurdles while still claiming to not be a "boogieman" as you style yourself.

 

You could have just said "Stop being a Petulant Child".

Wrong again and still sans substance.
