    Excuse me while I interrupt this little ignorant circle jerk here with some reality.

    Guess who has been ranked #1 as the best country to do business?

    Here is a hint: It's a leftist (socialist/communist - eh Betsy?), immigrant/refugee loving country, which is falling apart (right Betsy?):

    Canada sits 10th in the world.

    Sorry Trudeau-hating whiners.

    More evidence against your boy.

  2. Honestly, you can't make this shit up.

    It's relative, isn't it?

    Red tape is a burden to the leftist countries you seem to have hero worship for.

    On many lists, Canada doesn't make the grade. 

    Sorry Trudeau lovers.

    I chalk our failure up to a combination of our misbegotten constitution coupled with some of the slackest institutions of official accountability in the developed world.  The former is unable to deal with the latter because our political system is loath to open up the former to change.

    Stuck between a stupid and a selfish place we are.    

     Yes, much better to be an oligarchy.

    Hating on Canada again. No trend here folks.

    You're maintaining that my saying this;  We'd only barely granted women the right to vote ourselves before we were running around the world overthrowing democracies.

    Is LITERALLY the same as my saying this So, first and second world wars was us running around overthrowing democracies?

    I might as well be talking to two year old FFS.  Ok have it your way.  I'll stop assuming I'm talking to someone who's only pretending to be stupid and spell it out for you.  

    First of all women in the US and other western democracies didn't get to vote until after the 1st WW.  Clearly the period after the 1st and 2nd WW's and the present is a lot closer to and more relevant to what's at issue.  My bad for assuming that should be obvious in a thread about Islam.

    So like I said, much the west was barely out of the twilight ages of dictatorships itself before it was starting new ones and passing judgements on the democratic aspirations of other human beings around the planet.  This of course has left a legacy of terrible consequences...abject stupidity apparently being one of them.   

     

    Don't be do petulant because you're wrong sweetheart. 

    As in speech, what you write counts.

    And still ad hom. I thought you lefties were above that?

    That's what you actually think the words I wrote mean or even remotely implied?

    As has been said before this sort of ridiculously illogical reply suggests the person employing it is either sadly intellectually challenged or outrageously disingenuous - which is to say, not an improvement unless one thinks being ethically challenged is an improvement.  I think it's a lot worse myself.

    Refusing to address the focus of a topic by pretending to be stupid is simply a vandalizing of rational discourse really.  That said, if people really are just ignorant there's room for improvement

    That's what you LITERALLY said. No need for interpretation. Not my problem  if thats not what you meant. Be smarter when posting.

    Ad Hom as usual.

    Hates Canada but loves Muslim extremists.

    Thinks only men can be Islsmaphobic. Misandric and sexist. And wrong.

    Thinks women only want to talk about babies. Misogynist. Ask Omars mommy and sisters what they like talking about.

    Women's rights, democracy, secularism...developments that were slowly and inevitably reforming societies in various parts of the world.  We'd only barely granted women the right to vote ourselves before we were running around the world overthrowing democracies.  Our ridiculously unprincipled often violent interference often caused these social and political developments to go off the rails and even backwards.  

     I think if more women were in power at the time we would have pursued our interests in a more humane and gentler way and the world would be a far far better place for it today. 

     

    So, first and second world wars was us running around overthrowing democracies?

    As I've said, you blame everything on the west.

    What collusion? Repeating what you heard again...

     

     

    Not everything, only what it deserves blame for. I don't know what to blame for your inability to focus on what's said instead of what you hear.

    This addresses both your, ah, points. 

    What you mean, reforms and developments that were taking hold in other parts of the world? 

     

    "Its just too bad that women in the west didn't have more influence over politics back when our governments decided to go screw over Muslim societies and basically retard the development of women's rights along with the other sorts of reforms and development that were taking hold in the world. "

    My bad.

    When did this huge government collusion happen? Pre 1920?

     

    And you have a storied history of blaming everything on the west

    FYI - when women tell men to stop gawking at them, it has little effect.  What we need is more MEN telling other men to knock it off.

    My boyfriend confronted a man who was sitting behind us at a concert a couple weeks ago.  Leaned over and said, "Quit leering at my girlfriend.  It's disrespectful to her, disrespectful to me and disrespectful to your wife who is sitting next to you."

    The man didn't argue with him by denying he was leering.  But he did leave me alone after that.  (It likely helps that my man is 6' 4"  :))

    I have lots of men stare at my partner, and I'm ok with that. Proud even, as im proud of who she is. 

    We can't even look at the opposite sex now for Christ sake?
