Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!

"We have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountains, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy."

—Winston Churchill, Canadian Parliament, Ottawa, 30 December 1941.

Just the one's who stayed home were.

Wrap them in bubble wrap and keep them at home. In Canada the boys will be boys and not cry like babies.

Mean while Muslim youth are learning to make bombs.
I figure after seeing this at BCF. Canad a is Fnished. If we are to preserve any portion ofour National heritage we will have to seperate. As soon as possible.
Look what they are doing to our own playgrounds from Fear.
Adam Corolla is right in his new book. Will all be chicks in 50 years.

Racism:

"While people in different contexts can experience prejudice or discrimination, racism, in a North American context, is based on an ideology of the superiority of the white race over other racial groups. Racism is evident in individual acts, such as racial slurs, jokes, etc., and institutionally, in terms of policies and practices at institutional levels of society. The result of institutional racism is that it maintains white privilege and power (such as racial profiling, hiring practices, history, and literature that centre on Western, European civilizations to the exclusion of other civilizations and communities). The social, systemic, and personal assumptions, practices, and behaviours that discriminate against persons according to their skin colour, hair texture, eye shape, and other superficial physical characteristics."

Besides the obvious difference in the pansy factor, look at the difference in style and personal pride. There is not a cowboy in there slovenly dressed or sporting a look of pouty brattitude.

don't know many cowboys do you Bennett.

'Tis true, bear, SW Sask/SE Alberta is well known for its dearth of cowboys and other farm folk.

Isn't the real issue the perceived levels of safety rather than how tough one should subjectively be? If some kid gets thrown and trampled to death by a steer should we really be surprised? If lot's of kids get hurt at a playground which should have a higher level of safety than steer riding, would there not be reason t have concern? After all it's called a 'playground' not an 'injury-ground.'

"Hey kids, want to go out break some bones, get some lacerations, contusions and maybe a little bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and rectum? I'll buy ice cream...."

If you follow the UK papers, you'll read how elf and safety is one the biggest jokes in Britain. There seems to be more staff paid to regulate and prevent fun activities for regular people and families than to defend citizens from actual violent criminals.

2kevin I grew up in a place were we fell out of trees and broke bones all the time. Life was fun and we lived. No bubble wrap. Today?????????

@57 years old i remember one time my uncle john ran his 56 ford out of fuel he scraped together a coke bottle full of gas it was 1/2 mile to town and he had a date he put me on the front fender and said when i yell dump a little in the carb i rode on the front fender @ about 40 to 60 mph we made it to the b/a station.i learned to hang on. maybe this kid should have learnrd to be more careful.

WHAT is that hat the bull rider's wearing? The animal should be wrapped in bubble wrap, just to satisfy the concerns of PETA.

I grew up in a small town in Manitoba where we kids played to our heart's content at all kinds of dangerous games,like rafting on the river and lake,and climbing trees, riding cattle at the stock yards,throwing snowballs and using slingshots.

Somehow,we survived.

I could have used a grief counsellor though,when my parents spanked my ass for killing robins with the slingshot.

If that English kid doesn't watch out he'll be ridden like one of those bulls.

The world needs more Big Bird Band-aids.

I haven't been to a rodeo in a long time - is he wearing a helmet? ... doesn't he know he isn't riding a bike?

In Canada the boys will be boys and not cry like babies.

Really? Try cutting them ridin' and ropin' welfare bums off of their subsidy checks.

dmorris, a hat? I think 'round these parts, we call that a hockey helmet.

Would love to phil but there are no western cowboys or ag industry that can beat Quebecers at milk and dairy subsidy wrangling.

... eggs and dairy subsidy wrangling.

Bob @ 7:44:

Bob, I don't think one "sorry" is enough.

phil take the time to learn. Most grain and cattle farms pay more taxes a year than you make in 10.

Meanwhile...
Over in Queerbec...
Little darling socialists are being terrorized by WASPS.

phil, get a different schtick.

"If lots of kids get hurt at a playground which should have a higher level of safety than steer riding, would there not be reason to have concern?"

No. Well...perhaps there should be some concern about the general wherewithal of the kids in the area.

The "youngster" who is pictured was running, and fell. HE fell.

One girl "fell off the slide." The slide didn't shove her off.

Another girl was hanging on the rope bridge and fell off. She let go.

As for this incident --

"I was sitting cross-legged and my friend grabbed the rope and I bashed my head."

-- it wasn't caused by a faulty or dangerous swing, was it?

Why was my post, somewhere in the middle of BOB BRICKER's stutter, removed??

I might have done it unintentionally, Snagglepuss; It looked to me like the string of 8 or 9 duplicate posts were contiguous, top-to-bottom, when I checked them off for deletion.

My humble apologies, it was entirely unintentional. Can you perhaps reprise the essence of your post?

Most grain and cattle farms pay more taxes a year than you make in 10.

Then why oh why do they need those big nanny state welfare subsidies ??? Hmmmm???

phil it's only refunded tax that we pay to keep your sorry a@@ alive. But I don't know why.

Ummm

That bullrider has a helmet and a vest on.

Need an older pic of Tuff Hedeman.

...just sayin.

Yes but he's my precious! Best juxtaposition yet! ROTFLMAO

EBD- No problem. As luck would have it, it appeared right in the midst of his posts- exact same time.
As I recollect, it was in response to 2kevin.
Something to the effect of:

Much better to be slumped on the couch, stuffing their face, playing Nintendo or Gameboy, between asthmatic attacks.

Or somesuch, but it's lost the passion...

these are 11-14 year olds. they wear helmets cause they are little and not as strong as adult male riders. but if they fall off they wont be calling the evening news complaining about a scraped elbow. they'll get back on and ride again. that's what separated cowboys from, well, everyone else.

So basically what was this 14 year old doing in a playground? A bit old for that...what?

Okay he tripped and cut his knee on a curb....does this mean they have to pull hall monitors on the streets now to stop....youths/teenagers from running?....in case they trip over their own big feet or shoe-laces?....is this why we bus our kids to school?

Give blood, PLAY HOCKEY!!

Be CANADIAN!

Exhibit A is a dumb kid. Exhibit B is a dumb man. What's the difference?

Correction: dumb kind in exhibit A, dumb kid in exhibit B, what's the difference?

Speaking of the stampeded, another horse dead:

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2011/07/16/sp-calgary-stampede.html

The rodeo is where uneducated men go to pretend their tough. Killing horses and all that makes 'em feel oh so good.

phil it's only refunded tax that we pay to keep your sorry a@@ alive. But I don't know why.

Oh yes. Entitled to your entitlements. That's what all the welfare bums say.

Never been to a rodeo, but the Cayuga soapbox derby was this morning and some kid ate it bigtime at the finish line TWICE. Had plastic wheels on his racer and wiped out harshly when he lost traction at the bottom. Then got out, pushed across the finish line and made another run.

Paramedics were not called in. :) Mummy dusted him off and sent him back in.

The second kid is gonna get all the chicks in a few years. The first kid is going to be like TJ.

OMG, the cruelty of it all! The Brit dude Sam Shepherd looks like he is at least 15 -- since when do long-hair hippie teenagers spend their Saturday afternoons playing at the kiddies playground? I was too busy practicing acid rock with my garage band at that age (if I had time off from my part-time job).

And his injuries are horrific -- a freakin' band-aid! When we were kids and played, we played rough -- climbed buildings, high trees, railway yards, etc., and often someone ended up with a broken limb. Nobody sued anybody. Going to school the next day in a cast was a source of pride and everybody signed your cast.

What a wussy generation -- maybe we should include playground injuries in the same compensation package for the families of fallen Canadian soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, which is what the motor-mouth crybaby Labour leader Sid Ryan was demanding for workplace fatalities.

After all, it's all the same thing isn't it? Scratching your knee at the playground, tripping over a wire on a construction site, and fighting terrorists in Afghanistan -- they are all the same sacrifice. Actually, it's all bull -- something the wusses might learn from cowboy culture...

@ LC Bennett "'Tis true, bear, SW Sask/SE Alberta is well known for its dearth of cowboys and other farm folk".

Ah but speaking for the NW, East and North - Bib overalls and checkered shirts are now considered a fashion statement.

"Bib overalls and checkered shirts are now considered a fashion statement."

Unfortunately, so is the "long hair" rebel look today. We grew our hair long in the '60's at our peril -- it usually meant suspension from school and beatings. Now the "queerer" you look the more acceptable.

@phil = "Oh yes. Entitled to your entitlements. That's what all the welfare bums say".

You likely know but to clarify - farmers do not get SUBSIDIES!

Like every other Canadian business - they are entitled to tax credits on a variety of items (depreciation on capital costs) - just like private entrepreneurs, landlords and corporations are. Landlords are able to claim their mortgage costs back so go and attack them.

It seems to me that even property owners got a subsidy to upgrade their furnace, their home renovations and so on so perhaps you should go and bite them.

Since it is hard to make any money lying on a hospital bed, more and more bull riders are resorting to wearing flack jackets and birdcage face masks on hockey helmets. Anyone who has done a face plant on the back of a bull's head understands completely. As a kid we broke a bull to ride. It was great so long as you wanted to go where the bull wanted to go and stop where the bull wanted to stop. Kick him with your heels and you wound up on the ground.

You likely know but to clarify - farmers do not get SUBSIDIES!

Then why the SK Ministry of Ag that squanders $500 million every year?
If all farmers got were business tax credits, wouldn't that be handled by the respective provincial and federal tax depts?
But of course rural conservative welfare bums enjoy huge subsidies available to no one else. But as a plow jockey, you already know this, ls. Pangs of conscience, perhaps?
Naw, conservatives are without shame or conscience. They do however have all kinds of ignorance to spare. Maybe that's it.

We only made molotov coctails. Gnarly!!!

@phil "Then why the SK Ministry of Ag that squanders $500 million every year"?

Squanders? Your link?

Farmers are not accountable for government waste anymore than they are for university tuition subsidies (Dept - of mis/re education) spending for artists or the perpetually but gainfully unemployed.

I believe it was the NDP that introduced "Landbanks" for ???? Your comments?

Hi All - I know I am late to this comments thread - away on vacation - but back in the 50's, my brothers, sister and I regularly played on the "monkey bars". One time, I fell and hit my head - but did not dare tell my parents - because they would have given me a spanking for being so stupid. If we scraped our knees we just "sucked it up" - otherwise DAD would administer iodine (which stung like the bejesus) all the while dribbling cigarette ash into the wound while he was cursing us out and smoking at the same time. You just limped home, cleaned out the wound and put a smile on your face.
