Hey Ian, do us all a maple-syrup solid and vent your anti-American sentiments on some Canadian curling forum.

I didn't start this thread so that those Honorable men could be shown pathetic example of disrespect... from someone who doesn't know, nor could comprehend what they did to achieve such Honor. I find your post distasteful, and immature.

I don't think we are idiots. I think its more a case of greed and avarice. Granted, we could definetly be more astute and stand by our convictions more.

I liked the way Winston Chruchill put it, "The Americans will do the right thing; but only after they have exhausted every other option". On another note, its nice to see service men and women finally being treated with some respect, cuz when I was in the service, 67-71 we were spit on and treated like 2nd class citizens. After I got discharged and went back home I was either a baby killer or had lost the war and employers seemed to view my service time as a liability.

Wow, noticed from your profile you are a student; obviously it is not history. Please post again when you have knowledge of not only the US role in history but your own country. Better yet; why don't you think about serving your country or do you need to grow a pair?

Sorry about the late reply----That is the great irony, I was in the Coast Guard. Anyway, it was a long time a go, so it isn't as emotionally painful now.

A little off of the subject, but I was caught in a quandry. Vietnam was wrong, but I felt I owed my country something. What I've come away with is, 1) regardless of a persons polictical views, if they were in or are in the service I treat them as a equal and with respect, which is more than I can say for most, 2) there should be compulsory service time for young males. There are about 3 others, but they are negitive and really won't serve much purpose if posted. Welcome home, and know you did a good job. As one of my friends said, "there may have been cowards in Vietnam, but I sure didn't see any".

Wow. I can't believe you wrote that. I'm glad all Canadians don't share your ignorant attitude. I'll bet you're under 25 and have no real clue as to how this planet operates. Keep in mind one thing. You may personally think we're idiots, but our freaking Salvation Army could kick your ass.

What does age have to do with this?

I'll bet you're over 25 and look down on those younger than you and think yourself more intelligent than them.

Having a big army (just like using big font size) does not give immunity to idiocy.

For the record, I don't "look down on those younger than me". So, you lost that bet. But thanks for your conclusion jumping. The fool decides to bash my country on a freaking golf forum. Remember the " Americans are idiots " line? He's your typical Internet tough guy. Balls of steel online but betcha he folds like a cheap lawn chair when confronted. I'm glad the Salvation Army line wasn't wasted on you! You're too quick for me! (ya know, if I have to start explaining every joke I pen...) jeesh.

Brother, VN was handled wrongly, but fighting alongside someone who's fighting for their freedom is never wrong... people helped us in the 1770s... I admire and agree with #s 1 & 2.. and thanks for having the wisdom to go any further!!! your friend was right, all things considered. after working @ a VA hospital for over 23 years, I've never had the honor to meet one of these heros that were awarded the CMH. that tells how truely rare they were to obtain, and the fact that most were given post-humanously. Thank you for YOUR service, and receive a salute from me.....

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
