Hahahaha. Just got back after a break for a while, and read through this thread. Funny stuff... I dont think one single thread in MLW history has had so much retarded hyperbole. "The illegal immigrant invasion" "Destroying our civilization" "Attacking our culture" "The liberal media conspiracy to destroy the very fabric of our existance" Then it devolves into a discussion about which of the sick religions of that putrid maggot Abraham, is worse. Good times!

ISIS did not plan this nor organize it. It looks like another lone wolf things. I doubt he had any rational political idea behind what he was doing, either.

Entirely predictably in the context of electoral politics. The people have been told since birth that the government was theirs, and ought to be responsive to their wishes and concerns. Yet for some years now the elected politicians have refused to even acknowledge the validity of those fears. Indeed, they've universally condemned everyone who expresses any issue with immigration, particularly with Muslim immigrants. Given that Europe has, for the most part, proportional representation, it was a certainty that concerns that none of the mainstream parties were willing to consider would give rise to new parties. The rise of Le Pen and her ilk are directly attributable not to Islamic violence and uncontrolled immigration, but to politicians who evidently did not understand why anyone would care about masses of foreigners coming into their countries. In fact, to a political and media class who not only did not share those concerns but saw the expression of such concerns as immoral. Douglas Murray speaks about how Theresa May, now Prime Minister of the UK, got up at the last Tory conference to talk about her favorite verses from the Koran. George Bush and Barrack Obama have done the same. France wrote into law anti-hate legislation which pretty much criminalized any open expressions of resentment or dislike or discomfort for any aspect of Muslim culture. Even Brigitte Bardot has been convicted under it, repeatedly, because she criticizes the way they treat animals! Needless to say, virtually all the politicians in Europe are of the 'open' type. Or were. Certainly the media is. The BBC never refers to ISIS without calling them "so called ISIS" to make it clear that they don't believe ISIS has anything to do with Islam. Much like Barrack Obama proclaiming, after one particularly vile incident of murder, that it had less to do with Islam than any other religion. Oh? When they shouted Allah Akbar as they cut a man's head off? How all these liberals can convince themselves that masses of people engaged in bloodletting in the name of Islam have nothing to do with Islam is something you have to watch or read Haidr's lectures about emotional argument to understand. They want to believe it, and therefore, they DO believe it. They find a way to convince themselves of it. But ordinary people clearly think otherwise. The opinion polls say growing numbers of people in Europe, the US and Canada, the majority, in fact, have major issues with Islam, regardless of what the politicians and media say.

Well as someone with family who died in the holocaust I am well aware that JW's alongw ith 7th Day Adventists were shipped to the death camps refusing to swear allegiance to Hitler and willing to die for their beliefs. For that legacy I have to be deeply respectful. From a practical perspective uh yah they can be a tad annoying coming to the door preaching but hell how the hell could anyone call them dangerous? Putin is just a sordid hateful sob. He does stuff like this he gets harder to differentiate from Hitler. What next does he intend to round them all up? Then what? Not to digress but back in the Duplessis days of Quebec, Marcel Duplessis triggered the first religious persecution case using his government to harass JW's and in particular one from getting a job with the Liquor Board triggering the first major case prohibiting governments from discriminating against people based on their religion. Let's be fair. JW's are not dangerous or violent and follow all the laws everywhere. They are not terrorists or extremists.Who next? 7th Day Adventists? Christian Scientists? Amish? Christian sects have the right to their individual approaches to Christianity. Name me one JW who is violent or threatens any state? . I defend them from discrimination. JW's are not terrorists or violent and its precisely why he picks on them. Its what cowards do-go after pacifists. Leave them alone and let them worship their God in peace.

I think he's just talking about airlines in general Wilber. I think we are all aware manners by passengers on airlines has deteriorated from the days of airline travel being glamourous and elite to sardine can mass transit. People today are treated like meaningless cargo and they reflect it back in their behaviour. Airline staff can be surly probably because many run long shifts and are exposed to some pretty piss poor behaviour especially when angry people like me react to being bumped although I am polite until I am lied to... I have witnessed very rude passengers and very rude staff. What came first the chicken or the egg I do not know-I try be polite until I know someone is lying or is rude to me and then I get tough but I don't belittle staff if they make it clear they are only following orders. I don't yell but I make it clear to counter staff when they bump me to do the right thing. Most do. I don't have to ask. They put you on the next flight and apologize and I can handle an hour delay but you delay me a night I expect a hotel and a meal. That's not unfair to ask but that's on the ground. I try not to have that fight with on flight staff. That to me is sacred ground. Once on the plane you have to respect the staff even if they are rude to you know a point. I can tell you I find air flight something I do not do anymore unless necessary. I prefer the train or driving hell even the Greyhound bus. I don't like flights more than an hour. Not worth being packed in like a sardine, waiting in long lines, and then being pushed in front of by aholes sitting in the back who insist on storing their luggage right up in the front overheads triggering a ridiculous domino effect where the front passengers who are the last to board have no place to put luggage overhead. I am sick of passengers shoving oversized luggage in overheads in the front so I can't put a small bag up there. People are rude and selfish when they fly and they are rude to airline attendants and I causes those staff in turn to be rude. Its mass transport over quality. To be fair most flight staf are doing their best and I appreciate 99% of them and the one bad apple should not reflect on the rest. The truly famous airlines known for their excellent service like Cathay Pacific they went the way of the do do bird. Hell the last Canadian airlines I took I enjoyed were Eastern Provincial Airways I swore by and they went bankrupt because they served food with cutlery on two hour flights and Canadian Pacific I preferred to Air Canada but it went under. Now West Jet has become as bad as Air Canada. The only airline with any semblance of dignity left is Porter Airlines domestically. Aero Mexicano I enjopyed byt they went bankrupt. Everyone one of them now I a sardine can. Anyways yah there's some bad stories but not fair is fair. They do their best in the air.

I think ISIS does it because it stirs up anti-Muslim sentiment. Because then ISIS can say to Muslims, "See? Look how the West hates us!!" and Voila!! Fresh recruits to the cause.

Simple, the then Trudeau government, buoyed by the courts, didn't want the enshrined headaches associated with such rights.........think First Nations, treaty rights and land claims and magnify it to include the entire country and its population.

Yes....you gotta problem wit dat ? Stop us..... God Bless the USA !

What is usually referred to as private property in Canada is actually a 'Freehold Lease.' All land is owned by the Crown. If the Crown terminates your lease for, say the construction of a road, the Crown pays compensation. Sometimes, as in the case of the Regina GTH, the Crown pays an unusually large sum.

Social Justice warriors love mocking religion. It makes them feel intellectually superior.

You're reaching DoP/BC level of "pavlovianous". The topic is a christian sect.....no need for thread drift.

I disagree. They have in common that they both ascribe to economic orthodoxy and that is what explains their immigration stance. This is exactly right. Economic orthodoxy IS what drives immigration. The prevailing economic model in the west is growth economics. Countries try to attain a slow steady and consistant rate of growth. Here's a look at Canada's population growth for the last few decades. Since 1965, look how straight that line is... Doesnt matter if Conservatives or Liberals are in charge the line is almost dead straight. If all the xenophobes on here are so worried about immigration then for god sakes make some babies. Stop values having more cars and houses than children. The reality is if Canadas birth rate declines immigration will increase and vice versa. People on here go on and on an on about these immigrants threatening our white European culture, but WE are the threat to ourselves. What do you think is going to happen to a culture where families have less than 2 children on average? Eventually there will be nobody. The last two white european nationalists will have one child and the kid will jerk off on the internet until he dies alone.

The real fun will come once the nationalists get their way "stop letting darkies in to destroy my culture", and they realize it still wont matter. There's too many of them hear already, and their numbers will grow even if the border is shut down... The conversation then will turn to how to "deal with" them.
