C'mon Jinky, don't make me give you a Canadian history lesson. The Quebecois are part of a nation (Canada) with two dominant cultures, historically. Quebec also has its own legal code, based on historic French Civil Law, but that doesn't then necessarily mean that it is its own nation. Quebec is not internationally recognised as a soverign entity...etc., etc., etc....as for the National Assembly, that was a concession to them in...1693 if i'm not mistaken (someone correct me if I'm a bit off on the date) as a form of appeasement by the English, distinct culture and all that. Some Quebecois may think and say they are a different nationality, but they are still part of the Canadian nation. Culture does not necessarily equal nation. 'Nuff said on this.
KNVB, why must you always disagree with everything I say?
I'm not handing the keys to Pierce, figuratively speaking, but am simply pointing out, with solid evidence, that he can play, and can run the Lions offence adeptly. And as for the assertion that he'd be playing elsewhere, HE'S 24 YEARS OLD, and only just. He's only been out of college for what, a year or so? He's a kid! Give the guy a break man, and me while your at it
. If he couldn't play, Buono wouldn't have him here. Its that simple, which is why Casey's gone at the end of the season
. I'm done with my argument, and I hand off to the rest of you now.
