Forget about getting married for sex or pro-creating.No one says that has to happen. Let's talk about another aspect of plural/incestual marriage. If I marry my elderly father and my mother and her old friend,the disabled neighbour,then all of them could benefit from all my personal benefits that I get from work,dental,extra health,personal programs allowable for the "spouse",I would even get time extra time off to take care of any of my "spouses" when required. How will the law take care of this kind of "rights"?

Looks like he goes. Abbotsford Sikh refugee to be deported next week I suppose all those bleeding hearts who thought he should stay will make a big stink about it AFTER he's gone.

I guess I'll have to answer my own question. Incestual marriage, then pedophilia.They have "rights" too. Shocking Proposal To Change Marriage Laws in New Zealand

Paralysed man nabbed by police after leaving sanctuary Only 30 uniformed and undercover officers and agents there to nab this guy? What now? Should he stay or should he go?

You're right this study does means nothing, and probably highly invalid by trying to attribute to incidents that happened years after the study was done. This study was done in 2001,before 9-11,before Iraq, before Afghanistan,before terrorists bombing around the world,before SARS,before the $100 million Lebanese incident,,before massive gun crimes.It's not the same world. Give me a study with today's people answering the same questions. I think the answers would be very different.

...and if all the kids were under six collecting the government child care allowance of $100....x 20 = $2000 a month plus all the other government tax benefits.... ..why work outside of the home?

10th Anniversary of the right to bare...... What next besides polygamy will "human rights" demands attach itself to?

Buick, Lexus brands rank highest in vehicle dependability It's all about dependability for your $$.Buick,Cadillac,Mercury,Oldsmobile,Ford,Chevrolet, are right up there with the Japanese imports(Cambridge, Ontario, is home to the first Lexus manufacturing plant in North America. It produces the RX luxury sport utility vehicle, the best selling SUV Lexus ever built.) This fallacy of North American built cars being unreliable is just that,a fallacy.

Wed May 3 ,2000? No news like really old news. - Did you have to look through those old newspapers in the garage to find this one? By the way,illegal Chinese from China do not become illegal Canadians when they cross the border to the U.S.

That is precisely why I said she should get the portfolio. She's no "light weight" as she was called on this thread, she does know her stuff. She should have gotten the job first go round,instead of Clements,but I can understand why he was given the post....this time.

Looka like CTV was reading my post

Fingers getting sore, or just running out of something new to say?

Sounds like a lot, but how many without jdobbin's contribution?

Looks like the MLW clock is moving faster than the rest of us......once more.

I think you're wrong there. Diane has a teaching and law degree.Plus she has professional and business background which includes teaching elementary and junior high school.At one point she managed a grain farm operation and built a successful law practice. While in opposition she was a health critic and spent a lot of time studying the European model for health care,plus she was also immigration and government accountability critic. She has a lot of respect from MP's. She's definitely taking a major post in cabinet. My guess is either Health or Immigration.

If the big grab for oil money occurs, especially if Dion does it,you'll see the membership for the Western separation party swell to numbers that would look just like the PQ popularity in Quebec.

Much like most political "easy to make" promises.......actions really do speak louder than words, and that's where the "trust" part comes in.

Maybe this should be a new thread about the media. My biggest beef with the media has always been their lack of answering the questions the readers or viewers want answers to. For example,with all the shootings going on in the country I want to know if the guns the arrested individuals use are illegal,stolen or registered. That never seems to be mentioned.The media seems derelict in giving full answers in a lot of stories.

At the same % of popularity as the Conservatives, it seems Liberals voters are still supporting them through thick and thin. Why hasn't the media pushed the payback of the Adscam money? Could make for some interesting news stories.

And I said that .....where?

In the news in the last couple of days. Prosecutor rejects charging polygamists Looks like Polygamy is going to be the new "rights" issue. And this will be followed by another "rights" issue: Prostitution laws face challenge What a wonderful,open society we live in.

So to you, women are considered secondary?

And Canadian culture(white/western) is another culture that has this dismal attitude about the value of women. Many Canadians(Jack Layton types)who are all for women's rights here in this country but don't want to sacrifice our troops for women who don't have any rights in Afghanistan. And with the same mentality,seem to have little regard to what would happen to these women if the Taliban were to take control.

Got to agree with Guyser on this one. I don't like what I'm reading,but abortions are legal and I don't see anywhere where there is a distinction of a reason for a woman from getting one. It is a matter for a woman to decide and if a person has an issue with it,.....well,too bad. It's legal.Culture and religion may play a part, but sorry,not your fetus to make or abort, the law is on the side of the woman's decision. If you have issues with abortions then you should have issues with all abortions and not just these.

Is this thread about Miss America speeches?.......if so,.... I would also like to add the part about "peace for everyone in the world."
