FTFA: Notebooks were also taken full of information on Dawson Creek, pipelines, Canada's government and the oil and gas industry.

I fail to see the problem here. Let him go ahead and blow up those proto-emo kids.

Irish dancing men dancing together is a gateway to terrorism.

No country in which men do not dance together has a terrorist movement.

All countries in which men dance together have terrorist movements.

It's not the fault of the gays. It's the fault of the straight guys who have to prove themselves virile. Homosexuality is actually the cure for terrorism.

1. Ireland (IRA)
2. Afghanistan (the Taliban)
3. Israel, Jordan, etc. (the PLO, Hassad)
4. Eastern Europe (especially Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, etc.)
5. Oklahoma
6. Turkey

You might think terrorism is caused by sheep, but no, New Zealand and Australia have more sheep than people and they aren't particularly terrorist. England and Scotland have as many sheep as Ireland. Llamas are almost sheep but there's as much terrorism in Columbia as in Peru and Chile combined.

I rest my case.

Line dancing must be banned before it destroys America and Canada. It may be too late to save Appalachia.

beefboxer: I'm Canadian so how come I don't care about the fact that this ended up on fark?

Likely because your geographic location is pretty disconnected from sour gas wells pipleines at the heart of the conflict.

Dexaan: They still make cassette tapes?!


yeah, no shiat. i was going thru a storage shed last weekend and found two cases of great cassettes. no way to play them.

Than it got kind of weird.

jabelar: He did shoot here and doesn't deny that he shot her. The kids were trespassing, and as you can imagine he's paranoid and made a legitimate claim he thought he was acting in self-defense -- they were doing a late-night, drunken, Alberta off-roading kind of thing and if I remember correctly were actually doing it to harass him.

This, although it likely wasn't Wiebo who fired the shot.

To The Escape Zeppelin!: "an entry from the year 2000 about Karman Willis. Willis was a 16-year-old who was fatally shot on Ludwig's property in 1999 when she and her friends were joyriding on the farm."

Anyone else notice that it doesn't say he shot her, just that she was on his land. Anybody have more information about what happened?

/I actually have most of the things they confiscated in my own house.
//Not a terrorist
///Yet. Muahahaha

Note that this isn't your typical family farm. The farm houses a tight-knit religious community of about 50 people. Some newspaper articles refer to it as a "compound."

Someone shot the girl, but the police had no way of proving who pulled the trigger.

A crossbow does more damage than a regular bow, but they take an extra round to re-load, unlike loading a regular bow, which is a free action.

RanDomino:
Is there any specific reason why the papers are after this guy? TFA is a classic hit piece. The word "compound" connotes something sinister. Anyone reading TFA (especially if they just read the headline) might think the RCMP captured a dangerous terrorist- unless they read the article really analytically and realize that the only thing the police actually found was some pot.

Well, he was successfully convicted for oil patch bombing in 2001. They don't have enough evidence yet on him this time, but he is a convicted eco-terrorist.

I'm not saying that it's OK to smear him or assume that he's guilty of these current crimes because of past convictions, of course. I'm merely pointing out that calling him an eco-terrorist is acceptable post-conviction.
