On another note with respect to what is categorised as a smoking related death: If you eat 20 cheeseburgers and 2 litres of coke a day and smoke, if you die of a heart attack, this is a smoking related death. If you worked in an aluminium smelter and smoke, even if its the bauxite dust that kills y...
Sorry, I forgot to clarify. If someone dies of type 2 diabetes due to a poor diet, and they are a smoker, it is not considered a smoking related death. If someone dies from a stroke or heart attack and they are a smoker, it can still be considered a smoking-related death. Smoking causes a higher ris...
This thread is about banning cigarettes in shopping malls (and perhaps other public places). I don't get where the alcohol comes in. Should we ban food too because it causes all kinds of health problems when consumed in excess, just like alcohol? As you can see, we should just stick to the smoking i...
No worries Chocs, my post was for Liban as well. Perfume, especially synthetic perfume can cause terrible allergies and anaphylactic shock in severly allergic people. I saw a documentary about a girl who had severe allergies so her whole school had to wear unscented body products. This girl used bee...
Canadians or Americans have all kinds of religions and they co-exist. Why is it so hard for people to see that with us Arabs when all our past points to that capability? We are all human. because some fanatics did and do things that put u all in a bad light. and generally ppl r too narrowminded and...
Meanwhile, I was weak and have been eating seafood and fish from time to time because I get sick of eating salad when out at restaurants. I shall reform myself immediately. :) Chocks, was your tuna steak cooked in a kitchen that prepares other seafood, or was it seasoned with sesame oil? You might b...

Iraq is completely different. I know that the reasons for going into Iraq were false. Going into Afghanistan was completely deserved. Al Qaeda and the Taleban should have been removed after the bomb attacks in Africa and the US. Enough is enough of that terrorism crap.
I was talking about Afghanistan, not Iraq. Yes, they were planning on going in before 9/11 because of the embassy bombings in Africa. The Taleban and Al Qaeda did not appear in Afghanistan the month before 9/11. How is my grasp on the facts now? More arrests might happen in terrorism plot http://www...
Sorry Acebravo, I meant that Al Qaeda and the Taleban were operating in Afghanistan for a long time, they didn't just appear overnight before 9/11. My point was that they were a threat long before 9/11 and the subsequent coalition invasion. Yes, it will be interesting to see the details. The ammoniu...
you can never attract buisnessmen to a city without them, so to build a buisness hub you need them .. Uh, the men should be here on business because there is business to do. I highly doubt that all the prostitution is for businessmen... Some of us have husbands who are businessman, and they aren't ...
Lionheart, let's see if your family and friends or even you would make so many excuses for terrorism if you or they were standing next to a bomb set off by homegrown disgruntled brainwashed Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. You think the West deserves the terrorism it gets, and I think that terrori...
I just wanted to say something about this... If it turns out to be true that those guys were actually plotting an attack. I think the US needs to learn a thing or two from there neighbors up north. Canada has caught the plotters without a patriot act, Guantanamo, or searching phone records of all i...
I'm so sorry to hear about this news :( These are my thoughts... - You will need a letter from your company that releases you to work at another company, so you don't want to jeopardise that. - Are you sure the Director doesn't know about your dimissal? If you tell the Director about your dismissal,...
I never said these guys were guilty - I have explained that twice. Your choosing to ignore that fact is your problem. It is not my business to investigate and charge those men - it is for the police, CSIS and courts in Canada. Discussing the case is within my rights, and the newspapers provide lots ...
Marrying family weakens the gene pool and can create children with disorders and diseases that run in the family. If it was up to biology, family members would not pair bond and mate, but social constructs mean it happens against nature's laws.
I was going to hang out by the pool with Mr. and Mrs. Arniegang and we went for brunch in the Marina first. I was wearing a golf skirt that was above the knee, and didn't want to wear it in public (outside the pool area), so was self conscious the whole time. No doubt I was deemed a tart by the cons...
Civilians are dying in Afghanistan because the Taleban and warlord gangs are wreaking havoc. Once again, sectarian violence and internal political battles are being ignored. Both Afghanistan and Iraq have been destabilised, yes, but NOW WHAT ARE CITIZENS OF THOSE COUNTRIES GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? They...
