Due to a recent case of a MA instructor being arrested for abuse of students (hitting them in stances etc...), our state (Virginia) is considering legislation to regulate MA instructors and schools. What do you think? good or bad idea? pros / cons? how would you regulate? what standards? who gets to decide?

What's your coolest fishing story?

I lived in Sitka, Alaska, I was out fishing for Halibut, I got a tug on the line, I set the hook, it took off, I slowed it up and started to reel it in, I got it to the surface, it took off again, that happened a number of times, it took me about 45 min.s to bring it in from first tug to land it, it was too big to pull it on the boat, I had to slowly tow it to land, gaff it, and drag it to land. I didn't weight it, but it had to weight at least 150 lbs. Now that was fun!

What do you think of the Novice situation in Ontario? Has our emotional attachment to hockey gone way too far?

I am beginning to fall out of love with hockey. I llike the sport and play whenever I can but as a parent of a 11 year old playing peewee hockey I am beginning to care less if my son wants to quit.

He is also involved in soccer where the emphasis is on fun and it is an utterly enjoyable experience.

But the seriousness of hockey is taking the fun completely out of it for me. It is way too bureaucratic, costs way too much money (those parents at the AAA novice game probably spent $5K or more for the year with 10% or more on frivilous team paraphenelia), it too tied to the ego of those involved, and has very little emphasis on sportsmanship.

When I played growing up, jerseys were shared, the 20 people who watched came in for free, and you only got a team jacket if you won something.

I think that as a country, we really got to take a deep breath and let kids play and have fun because I think there are other activities that will develop our children more effectively.

Should the NCAA require schools looking for a head coach to interview a minority coach?

why not? the NFL has it. it wont hurt the colleges to do this.
its sad that schools are still in the "good ol boy system" and dont give minority coaches a chance.

Need Hunting Law Help...?

I tried to read through sites and blah, but none are really clear... Can someone tell me what I have to do/course take/blah blah to hunt deer? I am going with my Moms friend, and he will do the tags ETC. But I need to know basic rules. I was going to do some course, but I found out I will have to wait until January maybe later. I am 15, and clueless, and I really have tried but cannot get any clear answers....

I will be using my Uncles 12 gauge, which is actually a really nice shotgun around 800$ but hasn't been used since he died. I have all the gun cleaning etc. But I would like to find out EVERYTHING I can.. Also, about Hunting Knives ETC, because I can buy one for myself and need to know law about that, also.. SO ANY tips you can offer... Please. And you don't have to suggest about starting at a lesser gauge, though.. Also Like a good routine to follow. I read through a hunting rule book, but I would rather hear from real Hunters.

Thanks, Hunter.

(Yeah, Ironic but true.)

Ok, who else besides me has had enough of all of this Seattle Supersonics losing? They are 2-13, pitiful, off

to their worse start in franchise history. I know they let Ray Allen go and Rashard Lewis, but they aren't doing themselves any favors in trying to build support for them to stay in Seattle longterm. The taxpayers don't want to pay for another arena. Key Arena is just fine if you ask me. But this question is regarding their coach, PJ Carlesimo. I say, FIRE PJ right now, you agree? They are pitiful. Bring someone else on, maybe even bring back Bob Hill from last year.

Do you need a concealed weapons license to carry a knife in Pennsylvania?

Not just a pocket knife, but a large hunting-style knife. Also, I'm talking about carrying it on the street, not while hunting.

I'm not a psychopath; I'm just wondering.

Why is the ACC-Big Ten Challenge so one-sided? Is there a better conference that the ACC can play?

So, after tonight's games, the ACC is now undefeated in all nine of the ACC - Big Ten challenges that have occurred. I know that these two teams have the best historical winning percentages in the NCAA tournament (ACC's is .642; Big Ten's is .616), but the one-sidedness of this challenge makes me wonder if there is a better conference to match up with the ACC. So, what does everyone else think?
