Everything the Captain said. Except the stress. Stress is not bad for you. Stress is a good thing. If you are stressed you are in the game. Stress is our body reacting to situations that need attention. I'm stressed out everyday at work and I love it. Keeps you sharp. Stress levels increase when stuff matters. If you are stressed, than what you are doing matters to you. That's a good thing. I loathe the anti stress movement. I think it is an excuse machine.

The englishman posts a ton of reports. He asked a reasonable question, in which the answer is yes, it's perfectly legal. He also stated he didn't much care to ambush the CO and turned the camera off, but was a little curious as to the rules when the CO said it was forbidden (the CO was full of crap) So he asked a question. To recap. 1. Limey=lots of fishing reports. You and I not so much so don't bust his balls about fishing related posts. 2. He was respectful to the CO 3. CO still got defensive and made a statement that made the englishman curious. 4. He asked a valid question and the answer validated his hunch. 5. Open the zipper on your leather mask and get back to doing what you were doing. 6. Have a nice day.

I think he is referring to the musky in the water. He would not take an OOS picture. The other picture is a different fish.. A pike.

CPP and a new Provincial Plan are not the same. The money you you put in the CPP went to the CPP. How would you expect to get a cheque from a different plan If a provincial plan starts then we start contributing now. When we retire we will get our CPP and our PPP. We will have contributed to both and received benefit from both. The provincial plan is not replacing the federal plan. You still get your money from CPP, the plan you contibuted to. If I go at 60, my retirement date is December 30th 2036. It falls on a Monday, I have already told my boss I won`t be in on the Friday. Should I choose to go to 65 my retirement date is on December 30th 2041. It falls on a Tuesday and I have already notified my boss that I won`t be in on the Monday. In either case the money I am depending on is a very healthy multi-employer pension plan where I invest much more and will receive much more. Way better invested as well. That`s what I am really banking on.

The Ontario Pension Plan will start up and people who contribute will receive the benefit. The Canada Pension Plan is not enough for people to live on. Many provinces have been trying to convince the Federal Gov't that Canadians should contribute more so they can get more. The Federal Gov't would have none of it so some of the provinces are starting to start their own provincial pension plans. Personally, I would prefer if we contributed more to the federal and just had 1 pension plan. Anyone who hasn't contributed to the plan will not get the benefit of the plan, and rightly so. I am having a hard time getting my head around someone who is currently retired who thinks they are entitled to benefit from a plan which A. Is not even in existence yet and B. They have not contributed to. When this plan goes through if they somehow decided to pay people that are retired and have contributed nothing to the plan then my head would be spinning. They won`t though because that is not how pensions work.

Same here. My father and I torture each other on the water. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

My old man is the same way. I say "stop pissing around would ya? It's a walleye man!" I like to play out fun fish like a smallmouth or whatever. Or a steelie on the niagara river, but sometimes you just have to get the fish to the boat. Some fish you hunt for the fight, others you hunt for the bite.

I have been watching this video over and over again. Under no circumstances ever and I mean ever! Should anyone scream like a girl. :-) All joking aside, that is pretty scary.

Great fish! Must have been a fun ride. Let's hear the story.

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT) When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB) Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT) Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT) So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin." Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan. The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God's curse." Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'" So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes. They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder. They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived. After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho. Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp. But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded. "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves. As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you. If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. 2 Samuel 12:11-14 NAB Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.' Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan answered David: "The Lord on his part has forgiven your sin: you shall not die. But since you have utterly spurned the Lord by this deed, the child born to you must surely die." Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB "When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb. After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife. However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion." Great book. Worship it. -

You mean the chicken hawk war mongering draft dodger? I would use him as an anchor. Has he ever hunted in a place where the animals were not fenced in? -

It would get some attention alright. I know a few places where public executions take place all the time. The same places where terrorism is rampant and theocratic fascism is king. I can not even believe that I am entertaining this argument. Be honest just for a few seconds, do you want to live in a society where you gather around the town square and watch the executions with your family? Give your head a shake....
