I've been following the Steve Downie situation and have been asking myself, 'If this had happened 10 years back, by a veteran player, would this be a big deal ?' Now, that's not to say that I don't think there should be a big deal made over this type of hit, any act that potentially jeopardizes a player's quality of life down the road can't be tolerated.
I am compelled to consider Scott Stevens' hits in particular. He was known for delivering "clean," heavy hits with the shoulder
and oftentimes to the heads of opposing players. In some cases, it caused career threatening injuries to players, take for example Eric Lindros.
So my question is, a player like Scott Stevens, one of this year's inductees to the hockey hall of fame made a living out of hitting people hard, and oftentimes to the head. Does the new stance being taken on headshots take away from the brilliance of his career? Should the behaviour that earned Scott Stevens an induction into the hall of fame be abolished?

I notice that people talk about the freedom to accept god, mostly to accept christianity. but i dont see much choice in the matter, they believe you either choose to live by a set of rules which can be limiting (not to mention that they change regularly over time). or when you die be torrmented.

i believe in god but dont aggree with this view, i believe be a good person and you should be rewarded.
what do you think

Realistically, who would have better chances of getting laid on any given day IF they wanted to? A single, good looking, cool man in his 20's? Or any average 15 year old girl?

Serious answers please.

And, NO- I don't mean anything about them doing it together.

I work at this store and this guy works out back in the loading/shipping/recieving area and I have to go out back when a customer wants something shipped to another store or something..but this guy really really makes me uncomfortable, he's really ridiculously touchy...he'll see me from behind and come up and grab my waist and pick me up and then bend me down, its really weird and he's always just touching me creepy and onetime i actually screamed because he wouldn't let me go and he had me in a sexual-type position...I've told him to stop but he doesnt..Also i"m 19 and hes 38. What should I do? I really am not the type to complain to management or anything so i'd like to resolve it between the two of us.

we are just classmates..he did not show any interest in me before..but last week we came across in the hallway and he asked me out for a movie(very casual)..

then at a party, he said to two female mutual friends: hey L(my name), did you tell them we went to see a movie together yesterday?

and my female friend said: you and P(his name) went out for a date! I responded: no..it is not a date..just hang out...

then he said: L(my name), you can not say it does not mean anything...

what does this mean?!?

then today we met in the cafeteria..he invited me to his new house for thanksgiving and also house warming...(of course there are other friends...)

so I do not get him...is he interested or just I think too much?

we use frontline, and put it on the first day of the month.. so due for next applicaion tomorrow...she has dry skin and ocassional itchy from it... never seen a flea, and beleive me i check often..

well the last week i notice she is itching a bit more, today i see a flea... i give an oatmeal flea bath, and find several, but no flea dirt...

so i assume these are new fleas, she has recently been exposed or picked them up....BUT, i thought FRONTLINE was supposed to prevent this...and work for 30 days..
does it stop working or lose effectiveness after only a few weeks?? it is supposed to be waterproof as well...

was i misinformed about this product?? sorry so long, but i am interested in your experience with this product... thanks..

Is John Lennon against Christianity? Or does he believe in Christ? I've really been getting into his music lately. So I was just wondering about him and his beliefs.
