It must be the quality of the morons, dipshits, and trolls that want to be Slackers.

Perhaps you and "rm" would make a good doubles team in the aforementioned sport. With any luck, you'd both lose in the same round. -- "Ubuntu" - an African word meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

We have more strict gun-registry legislation (for now, at least), but they're certainly not outlawed, and note that I refrain from referring to it as "gun-control". Guns are legal here for hunting, target shooting, and perhaps a few other activities that I'm unaware of. What escapes me is why anyone would want to participate in any of these activities with fully-automatic weapons, which are apparently quite obtainable if you jump through the right hoops. > I also keep hearing Canadians blaming the US for all of their gun > related crimes. More bad journalism? We do blame the US for their *own* gun-related crimes, and we frequently end up with copy-cat crimes, but in my opinion the only ones to blame for any gun-related crimes are those holding the guns. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)alcor.concordia.ca Systems and Network analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Marc L�pine, December 6, 1989 Valery Fabrikant, August 24, 1992 Kimveer Gill, September 13, 2006 and those all occured in ONE city in Canada. Are they that easy to forget? The third's weapons were all properly registered. I don't know about the other two. Seung-Hui Cho was to some of us just one more in a long list of names involved in similar incidents across the continent, on both sides of the border. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)alcor.concordia.ca Systems and Network analyst Concordia University Instructional & Information Technology Montreal, Quebec, Canada ----------------------------------------------------------------------
