  1. Unfortunately, I have experienced 'blind faith' when I was starting to question some of the 'modern' (since the concept of Jesus being devine being adapted) teachings of Christianity. The most common answer I got to my most pressing and reasonable questions always was ... 'that is were faith comes in'. To me that is not really an answer to a tough question. Those answers helped propel me on my journey to where I am today. I think that most here know, but just to be clear I am a Muslim convert / revert. Blind faith (not the awesome band mind you) is what helps many down the road to extremism. And thank you for pointing out that extremists exist in every faith community, but in very small numbers, of course, which is very fortunate for the rest of us. This I tend to agree with, except when you start to ask the really hard questions, at least that has been my experience. Also, one very notable exception is my own family who took us all to Roman Catholic Mass every Sunday, but all it really ended up being was a place to stop to wait until the Sunday Brunch places opened up. I am not ashamed of my background, or heritage, but I am ashamed of my family. And thanks @Eleven for starting this thread.
  2. They were probably the best two-way Sabre forwards ever. And they had a 50+ goal scorer, in Gare, on that 3rd line with them.
  3. We are over 400 positive cases now here in NS. We are testing a lot more everyday, so this is expected. 30+ positives each day this week and 2 deaths. Our Premier's 'stay the blazes home' comment is still all the rage. It is such a Nova Scotian thing to say.
  4. RIP!! Wasn't the real Tom Webster the first pick in the expansion draft and was later traded for Roger Crozier at the very same draft?
  5. Pour the whole works into a full bathtub. Drown the ants and make mounds of potatoes to freeze. You're welcome.
  6. I'm Floyd binging right now ...
  7. Who invited this guy? Should you not be somewhere in isolation with your family ,,, not COVID-19 related?
  8. Pink Floyd at their very best, IMHO ... Those late-mid 60s to mid-early 70s were their best.
  9. Good analysis in here. The first question was harder for me. Compelling arguements for all of them. (EDIT TO ADD: here you go @dudacek) ... In the end I went with Miro Satan for 2 reasons. 1. He is Slovak, like me and in his prime I think he was the best pure goal scorer on that list. I want Dale10 feeding him. I could see 100 assists for Dale10 and 50+ goals for The Great Satan (you see what I did there?). The second is very clear ... give me Rammer10 there. Brown did score that fantasic goal against the Leafs in Game 5 that propelled tham to the final.
  10. Not much ... we are in war time mode here. Reminds me of Sarajevo, except we have power most of the time.
  11. It was a pretty big hit, sort of, but the aftermath is legendary ...
  12. And all along I thought this Tuttle dude was just made up, just like Taro T (not our @Taro T, the other one) just so some guys could do something nice for others in their time of need.
  13. What a terrible waste of good coffee. You should be rashioning all the best commodities and not spilling them all over yourself. Oh, yeah, hope you didn't burn yourself.
  14. I agree with Scotty on the 1979/1980 team.
  15. At this point I just hope they play in 2020-2021.
  16. Why are you buying something and having it shipped to you? Have you not heard that the world is about to end?
  17. I want to wish a Blessed Passover (sorry, a bit late) to my Jewish Brothers and Sisters. And a Blessed Easter to all my Christian Brothers and Sisters. And for anyone not doing either, I extend my best wishes to you and yours.
  18. Why must you torture us so, my friend?
  19. Sorry for you loss.
  20. That quote is so Nova Scotian. It's great and it's getting play all over North America, art least. I am not a big fan of our Premier and think he has done some very shady things over his term in office. That said, I think he and our Chief Medical Officer have handled this crisis extremely well.
  21. Rolled Gold. Salted. Original.
  22. I hope that all is well. +++++ I am off to the country ... see you all tomorrow.
  23. I can't remember, but I am glad that I found you guys and gals. True story.
  24. Yes, boss ... ? This is the first time I have ventured into a store in 3 weeks. We need out Turkish coffee man!! Just kidding, I picked up the coffee special delivery from Istanbul before this thing got bad here in NS. Last plane in had the coffee on it. That was a close one. I hear you though. Come hell, or high water, or both. I will not be leaving home for a month. We are 2 weeks from Ramadan. All the community ifar's (fast breaking meals) will not be happening, nor will the night prayers in the Mosques. I am seriously thinking of very limiting my fasting this year. I think God will understand.
