Of course we can complain. Isn't that what freedom of speech is all about.

It's so addictive. Prepare to throw away 10 hours of your life. Hands down, it's one of the best documentaries I have ever watched. Even the music theme is outstanding.

I'm not sold on the alliance. I'm not as cynical as you . I like the idea that he doesn't have any corporations in his back pocket (not withstanding his right wing/mysoginistic views).

It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Trump had of run as a Democrat. I'm pretty sure his allegiance can change on a dime. He could have dropped all those right wing policies in a heartbeat. Why did he choose to run for the Republicans?

Ok?

What's your point here? Not sure how/what to respond to here?

The photo of Alan Kurdi goes beyond partisanship. It was a remarkable photo that galvanized reactions and responses that probably saved thousands of lives.

I'm curious. Do you have any knowledge of the Chinese immigration policies, especially here in BC?

This post is more about you defending your decisions then about me responding to posts that I disagree with.

The problem is that many laws do not allow for peaceful protests and stifle their message. Law enforcement will also rummage through their bi-laws to see what will stick when disrupting demonstrations.

I binged on this Netflix documentary. I couldn't stop it was so riveting. After watching it, I did some research on other evidence and info that wasn't included. Just a heads up. Don't read any further if you haven't watched it. I believe Brendan should get another trial (he is scared of his own shadow) and I think Steven should have perhaps been acquitted because of the evidence presented, however I think he may be guilty.

I don't think Islam should be designated as a criminal organization but it should be called out repeatedly for its mysoginistic views. Western countries should do more to put pressure on countries that practice these views (sanctions) or other means. I think eventually this religion will evolve but it's going to take pressure from western countries. This seems a reasonable approach.

I am not a partisan poster but I am an equal rights poster. Argue cannot dismiss me as a leftist.

Wow. You got all this from my signature. It's interesting as to the reactions I get from my different signatures. It's truly amazing as to the reactions of men. I have no idea why .I would love to hear reactions about my signature. I have never seen so much attention to a posters signature than mine. It's thrilling and mostly from men!!!

I am getting warnings of long term suspensions for speaking up for what I believe is bigotry and racist to minority groups. If that is what it takes to stand up for this then that's fine. I have no problem with this decision. However, I would like to say that this forum seems to promote this kind of hatred towards minority groups and at the same time, take it upon themselves to delete posts or threaten suspension to those who try to draw attention to these actions.

BC is male. Although I could receive a warning to assume this.

It wasn't racist. Just an assumption. I'm just curious as to the reaction of your post towards a certain American and mine towards a Canadian poster.

Again, you like these phrases 'which grips much of the Muslim world' when you fail to understand the makeup of Muslims across the world. It's a tiring phrase that hopefully folks are also getting tired of hearing.

You don't know that they can find good English speakers. That is your assumption.That is my whole point.

Would you have an entry level psychological exam? If one existed, should MLW introduce it?

My point is (I am not probably expressing correctly) many employers prefer a stronger grasp of Mandarin and a less understanding of English.

If you allow members to view edited or deleted posts, why would you bother to edit or delete them in the first place. This makes no sense to me.

I am pointing this out as a humourous add on.

Have you checked the employment ads recently. Many are asking for languages spoken in Mandarin, certainly not French. You are mistaken if you think that English is the implied social contract in the lower mainland of bc.

I am curious as to whether you were given a warning because you challenged whether a poster was American or not? I was given a warning to assume a poster was a white Canadian.
