POPSMissing Ottawa couple found in Oshawa I am NOT making this statement because of their age group, I think that anyone who would disappear and leave their family to fear the worst has to be either an irresponsible thoughtless jerk or a high/drunk idiot. I'd say that if they were forty five. I'd say it if they were sixty.

POPS"No God" bus ads banned in Italian city Odd this, buses have been allowed to go running ads that say things like "God is watching" and more, why not a voice from the other side? Christianity is not a requirement for having rights and freedoms.

POPSCadet Choice Award Nominees Announced I can almost promise that the closest votes will be for Tom Cruise or Daniel Craig, not for what the roles actually were but because the cadets almost always pick military roles or as close as they can even if other roles would better suit the criteria. And Bale's "Wayne" really wasn't much of a role per say - Wayne was barely even visible in the bigger scheme. Myself, out of those choices, not having seen most of the films, I would have to pick Harrison Ford. Just from the clips and trailers and reviews anyhow...

POPSPolice In Mumbai Shutting Down Open WiFi Killing technology is NOT the way to prevent terrorist attacks. I am not educated enough to suggest another more feasible means but I know that throwing a country back ten years isn't the way to protect anyone from anything. Please India, rethink this wild idea...

POPSHow Can World Of Warcraft Help Train Your Employees? I agree that the skills learned can help in real world situations but as the author said - they can be culled from just about any RPG. When you take a game like WoW which is so demanding and time consuming - if you can get the players to log out for a few hours - they may even get jobs so they can use their new skills.

POPSCourt to hear case of teen strip-searched for ibuprofen I have NO words for this mess. I have teenage children, if I give them OTC pain meds - they have proper instructions for taking them and there is a note sent to the teachers. If the school said she couldn't have them and I felt that she needed them then I would keep her home until she was better, if they stripped her? Heads would roll.

POPSNintendo To Rest Of Planet: What Recession? I would rather spend $30 for a new DS game and play at home for many nights than spend twice that for a single night at a club. Also - gaming is something the entire family can participate in and talk about for much less money than going out.

POPSDrug-raided homes visibly labelled by eastern Ont. police By all means place a sign if drugs are found in the home thats been searched but just putting up a sign because its been searched? Man the kids in my old 'hood would have had a ball with that! Imagine the number of people we'd have had searched just to embarass them? A couple of phone calls is all it would take...

POPSUsing Taser on N.W.T. mother wasn't excessive: RCMP So I wonder - how were the children affected seeing their mother tased like that? Aren't the police and child protection supposed to take that sort of thing into account? Couldn't they have spent a little more time "talking her down"? They do it for druggies and real criminals, why not a frightened mother sitting in her home? Were the children in any danger AT THE MOMENT? I wonder... Also - Child Protection is NOT always right. I'm not saying she was innocent but there is the possibility, many people have been falsely accused and have had their children removed by force because they knew they did nothing wrong and they tried to fight the cops.

POPSFriday Fun: Waterproof your electronics Navy SEAL-style I dunno, it could be useful for something...I think its kinda neat anyhow..I wonder about those super ultra sheer polyurethane condoms? I can't afford an underwater lens for my camera but wouldn't this create a neat effect for artistic purposes? Call it gross but even a vaseline sheen over the rubber. Could be a really cool effect.

POPS Medicine needs hybrid embryos, scientists say I don't know what to say. For or against? having a long history of chronic illness and disease I suppose it could have its uses but still - I keep having these horrifying visions of "The Isle of Dr Moreau"
