An Inert grenade is not Illegal, its a paper weight, Why even mention it, We use to give them to our kids to play war with.

maybe it is time to rethink encouraging our young to "play war"

Why?? The government will ALWAYS need good soldiers. We need a few Good Men to kill our so called Enemies. So the rest of you can live in your Fantasy bubbles, So start them young.

Self-fulfilling prophesy?
If you have soldiers, you need a war for them to fight. No soldiers, no war. A rather simplistic statement for a complex subject.

At one time there was perceived to be all kinds of land sitting for the taking by the strongest nation. At one time, if any country wanted the resources of another country, they would invade, engage, and pillage. Is that how it is to be forever?

No, war is so passe, so old school, so not the way any more. Modern warfare is now a corporate game, not a military game.

Proof: Afghanistan, Pakistan, middle east in general.
These are wars of economics, of controlling the last dregs of a dwindling resource for the benefit of the few elites on the backs of the common man.

Who pays for war?
The children of the fallen, the spouses of the maimed, and the tax payers always gets it in the end both figuratively and literally.

So, does that mean that there are no reliqious nuts out there that want to kill everyone that does not practice their religion? Ooops. I forgot. Religions are actually large money making corporations.

If you are going on about the muslims in the middle east, I would be miffed if some Foreign power invaded my country to pillage resources and tell me how to live the western consumerist way.

They were not concerned with us until "we" pissed off just about the entire population, thereby giving the mullahs a willing army. Until then, they just wanted to live life. Now they are all on a mission from god to annialate the infidels.

Please let me know the last time canadian soil was attacked? 1812

Well, maybe you are right in that the arctic is getting hot, so to speak. We need to defend the far north from invasion of the oil snatchers from Russia. Or do we need to protect the tundra farmers and their crops?

Israel is not a mislim country but it is full of religeos nuts. Tell Israel that war is old school and a corporate game but don't tell me that cuz I ain't swallowing it.

War comes from non acceptance, hate and racism--then oil.

Holy shnikees - this story is about scum drug running gangs here in PG, not Mr Mackenzies parenting techniques - lol

Hmmm shoot for the head.

Good to see this person off the street. He'll either get a higher bail because he's breached his previous bail on a serious charge, or he'll be staying on the hill. Hill sounds better, maybe he'll live longer, but with that previous charge, who knows.........
Well done, guys and gals, go get some more, I hear there's still rooms to be let.
