  1. Rubbish. Nothing racist about it at all. People who are against slaughtering and eating whales don't care who does it; it's wrong.

     

    Japanese people do not need to eat whales. The insistence of the Japanese government to continue to support it could also be seen as racist, as Japanese refusing to comply with the majority view of other countries. And why do they refuse to conform? "Because we are Japanese, and we can do what we like."

    Agree totally.

    I was trying to come up with my own response but all I could think was why play the racist card? because you know you're wrong.

    My initial response was going to be BULLSHIT.

  2. People now spend all their time trying to capture the moment on their mobiles rather than just enjoying the moment.

    This is what happened during the Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver last week. Facebook has been flooded with pictures with the invitation to name that rioter. Over a million pictures and videos have been sent to police. The police have been offered the use of the driver licencing pictures and facial recognition technology to match the bad guys. Quite a few have turned themselves in or been turned in by family or friends. Some have been fired from their jobs for bringing the company into disrepute.

    So be careful out there, Big Brother (and your Mum) is watching.

  3. A football club has begun spreading cow manure at its ground to create what it believes will be the first organic pitch.

    Way way back in my schooldays, our playing fields at Loretto in Bishopbriggs were leased to a farmer for his cows. So there was possibly the first organic pitch.

    I played in goal and it was no fun diving on those pitches. :yellow_card:

  5. Canucks equalised with 13.2 secs left in regulation. then scored the winner in Double O/T.

     

    Bieksa scored with nine minutes and 42 seconds in the second extra period. On the play, Vancouver defenceman Alex Edler was on the right point. He attempted to send the puck hard around the boards, but it bounded off a stanchion and backwards to Bieksa in the centre of the Sharks blue line.

     

    With everybody, including San Jose goalie Antti Niemi, searching for the puck, Bieksa sent a knuckleball that found its way into the net.

     

    "I barely got enough wood on it to get it to the net," said Bieksa, who scored four goals in the series. "I was just trying to get it to the net for a tip. I didn’t want to flub it.

     

    "I think [san Jose forward Patrick] Marleau and I were the only ones on the ice who knew were the puck was."
