So why did you respond to this thread?

If you are not interested, why on earth would you respond to a thread? When you respond, you take up other posters time when they read your response and compose a response to your response. If you are not interested, leave the thread to those of us who do care. From now on, I will not respond to your posts. Fair enough?

This is a common problem I find throughout this site. Many posters do not extend themselves and educate themselves on the issues that are being posted. I actually do take the time to research and learn from many posts here. Once I have done that, I do respond according to my research and the answers that I have arrived at. I find that too many people here, do not read links that are posted, do not research before answering to posts so it makes for 'what is the point of responding' if posters do not invest the time and research to educate themselves on these issues. This shouldn't be about left vs right. This should be about right vs wrong and the grey area in between.

Perhaps you should then.

It is the way you trivialized the issue, that I took offence with.

I wouldn't have weighed in on this thread if I knew nothing about it.

I have heard plenty about this case, including cbc radio.

You are not paying for this surgery! What is your beef?

Nobody cares? Plenty of Canadians cared. pfffft......

That was a great interview!

And in the minds of the parents of the children who were slaughtered.

These are the remarks that I would have hoped we had moved beyond. Did not these men take an oath? Would you want your wife/sister/daughter to seek dental treatment with these men? As far as 'restorative justice'. Give me a break. Not many women weighing in on this subject give credence to this type of justice. It is looked upon with much suspicion and not much trust. Let's compare this to a young man that is caught with a mj joint in his pocket and is charged with a criminal offence. No longer is he/she able to apply/finish a professional degree whether it is law or medical or any other degree. But this person could remarkably, hold the highest respect for women and given the opportunity, present these women as clients with the upmost respect. Could we expect the same from a dental student moron that ridicules and disrespects women? Such unfair judgement. The only men or women who deserve graduating from this program are folks who treat all patients with the respect they deserve.

This is what I am trying to figure out. What exactly is his beef with individuals choosing their path in life? It really is none of his business.

Have you seen the Canadian flick 'Bon Cop, Bad Cop'. It's a great movie, with parodies: harry buttman, pickleton. You have to check it out!

Yes, I get that, however, don't you think it would make more business sense to move it to 'Seattle'?

I wouldn't mind seeing a team in Seattle. Could be a great rivalry for the Canucks and I'm pretty sure Seattle could support the team. They have football, soccer, baseball and basketball.

Actually, what I meant was 'A hockey team in the desert'!

Why don't you take this argument to the appropriate thread.

$1B is quite remarkable. Takes A LOT of visitors to the website to generate that amount of income. It's not just about making pretty trinkets. It's all about SEO and keeping the visitors on the site to make that purchase.

Sorry, I'm done with the abortion issue.

Arizona! How did that happen?

We have had this discussion in other threads and I won't address it here, other than to say, no doctor in Canada would allow abortion of a fetus at 7 or 8 months.

Now it is a 7 month old unborn fetus. You stated earlier, it was a 8 month old fetus. The issue of the age of a fetus 'taking a scalpal to the back of the head' as been addressed in other threads. Again, this is nothing but a red herring.

It's unbelievable that some posters have tried to turn this thread into an abortion issue. That should be addressed in the numerous other threads that have addressed this topic. It is absolutely a red herring.

And Canucks are in 2nd place in their division!
