It's not about accept other religions, it's about accept that one can make jokes on your religion.

And the Montrealers must have found very boring too. But perhaps in Winnipeg you have a very entertaining humour.

That is a good one. We are indeed hypocrits, on paper. Although that law is not really applied lately. It is still there. Well in Québec, I have seen alot of blasphemy on the religion, god and Jesus. No one has been accused. I remember the group Rock et Belles Oreilles did jokes on Jesus and God. So funny. I will do some translation for those who can't understand french. God: "Hey Jesus, how are you, piece of a virgin. Sorry for the mess, I am not worthy to welcome you. Do you get it?" God: "Hey, times are rough. We have competition... we are getting eat, bloody". In french, bloody is what we say when we want a rare steak. God: "We must change your branding. We must change your image. Look at you, how do you expect people to believe in you? Go wash yourself, put on a bandaid, anything... go see Mary, she is going to explain you. Go in peace and hit the road. I created that thing, go figure." Jesus: "I am telling, it is easier for a cat to pass throught the needle's hole than for a wealthy man throught Heaven... or something like that". Bandits: "ok, we do not want the money anymore" Jesus: "So, if no one wants it... (he takes the money) ... amen" Evil: "is it true you now have super power?" Jesus: "yes, I will show you. Pick up a card. Don't show me. (a green light comes out his finger and the Evil is changed into a goat)... what the hell?" A Jesus ad for Jesus chicken. super Jesus BBQ. Jesus saves a woman from fire. Woman: "Don't look at me when I change". Jesus put his hands to his face but, he looks throught the holes and says "alleluya". Here is a bonus. In the next video, you see Jesus with a cross on the shoulder and a roman soldier giving him whip slaps. Then a woman puts a T-Shirt on his face, we see a photocopying green ray going up and down with this comment: "Xerox, a christ of a good machine". Christ (criss) is a swear in Québec.

It was not a suggestion. He really did it. Too much smoke to pretend there are no fire. http://www.umass.edu/legal/derrico/amherst/lord_jeff.html Altai will need more than that to justify our deportation though.

Your childish immature and ignorante attitude is not shining. It shows that you do not want to be respected. I lol at your Turkish navy. You will definitely not make us leave. I dare you. Come on, bring it on. The only thing you will do, is give us a good chukle. Then your time won't be totally wasted. You wanted to know what it takes to lose people's interests to discuss with you, there you go.

It is going to end. Either Couillard ends it, or we will end Couillard and put someone that will do the job. Couillard is very stupid but, not that much.

The french attitude in north africa was indeed a bit different. I honestly do not know why they changed their motives. Maybe they figured out that, being nice is just giving an opportunity to a worst competitor to conquere the colony. But even then, eventually they came back to their traditionnal position and recognized independence of the conquered colonies. Then you are going to die for trying. You definitly have no clue what is going on with the natives here. None of them are having your goals. You are just a Young teenage girl taking position in a issue you do not know much about. You are not taken seriously. But you are amusing to read. I am very admirative of the natives and very sympathic to their claims. If you really care about them, you should read more about what they have accomplished and what needs to be done. Youy must understand how much neither I, nor anyone else here do not fear your threat attemps. It's not mine. I did not invent anything. It's the scientists' discoveries. It is proven, there are proofs. You are the one that is not adapted to the reality. Because you want to believe in a fairy tale story called Islam. Those are the pictures of 3 beautiful girls. But the beautiful lies in the eyes of the one who sees it. I also give credit to the beauty of the soul. When you speak with someone, you can discover an angle that enhance the beauty of a wonderful person, no matter what her/his genetic says. I have made love, sexual relations, to all possible races until now. I have encountered very nice people and I know that all humans are the same. Racism is the ugliest thing one individual can do. My current girlfriend is a Philippina. She is so beautiful. I love her soul. You are a very beautiful woman Altaï. But when you speak with hatred, you become ungly. Lucky for you, it's something you can change. it only dépends on you. When you present us your videos about your culture, you share with us something beautiful that makes humans great. When you adopt the political positions based on hatred of other cultures, you are doing the opposite. I understand that you can get very upset by the injustice that the ones in power do. But you must understand this. The ones in power and the people, are two different things. When a leader/king/dictator sends its people to war for its own interests, it does not mean that all the people agree with him. Alot of them do not even understand the big picture. I understand your feeling. Sometimes I am very angry at the americans for all the wars and the blood they have on their hands. But it is important to understand the difference between the ones using the power and the ones that have no powers. Humans, no matter what civilizations, are capable to be very nice and foward to everyone for the common good. The bloodiest leaders are not sharing those values and they are the targets we should focus on. But that is true up to a certain point. In a democracy, when you vote for an asshole, you have to assume your choice. I do not know if you understand what I am trying to explain you. Basically, what I am saying, we must not hate each others based on our nationality. The ones managing the powers are the ones to blame in first place. Of course we have up to a certain point, our responsability but, we can be betrayed by our own leaders. Imagine that someone, your leader becomes crazy and do something very horifying. I will not blame you or consider you as a plague that must be erased from the surface of the earth. I think you let yourself driven by hatred of the people and it is definitely not the right path.

Some sources are biased, others are very accurate and reliable. It is easy to figure out. If it serves too much the interest of the one who wrotes it, it means that it must be challenged. Europeans invaded North America if you want, but not the same way or for the same reasons or goals. That is why the aboriginals were entertaining good relations with the french and considered them as allies. Once the french were beaten by the british, the natives lost their best ally and it was a matter of time before the british/americans could beat all the remaining nations of North America. The ownership of land is a concept invented by humans to serve their own social system. Even among the animals, you can find such thing. The animals delimite their territories and they will Attack anyone of their own spicies that does intrusions into that territory. It's not the principle that is a problem, it is what you would do with it. At the moment, the whites own all the land and give very tiny reserves to the natives. It is totally unfair. The Québec government was the first one in 2002 to break that circle by being the first one to negociate nation-to-nation with a native nation. They did the Paix des Braves with the Cree and conclude a very good deal with them. Later the they did the same with the Innus. I think the government of Canada did something similar with the natives of Nunavut. but that is only 3 nations mong what, 30 or more? Alot of work needs to be done. Still, I quoted Something that goes moreless in the same direction as you do. The people do not own the land, they belong to it. The ownership is a concept that makes sense only for humans. The animals do not give a shit who owns what. Natives are indeed coming from Asia. Both Europeans and Asians are coming from Africa. Long time a good, a group of humans left the original tribes in Africa and migrated up north. Then they divided in few groups and "invade" the rest of the world. Americans, Europeans, Middle East Asians, Indians and Chineses, have more in common in their DNA than 2 different random Africans. From the birth of humanity when we changed from homo errectus until today, only 200 000 years happened. It is very short compared to the age of earth. So who is coming from where? Why do you considere yourself an asian and not an african? This is where you come from. We are all humans, like it or not. Our very little subtle skin and DNA differences are just a small consequence of adaptation of time spent in a specific environment.

I am a bit subtle and I like to tease you as well. That is why you have that feeling. Your lack of understanding makes you think the worse of me. I am not saying bad thinds, do not worry. You have to know that when you grant yourself so much room to judge people with very few reliable information, you must expect them to react accordingly. If you do not understand that now, I know you wil eventually. For now on, I will avoid subtilness and second degrees with you. I have no bad intention toward you. You say you have native blood in your veins. Do you know what aboriginal nation it is?
-
Are you aware that the natives are not Muslim? I wonder if there is at least one individual native living in Canada that is Muslim. Do you plan to convert them all? Good luck on taming the Turtle Island. Do you know what native nation of Canada your ancestry belongs to? You have the lips of Angelina Jolie. Is she your mother? Does Brad Pitt has hurt you? I like the Crocodile Dundee's quote. Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. The land will always remains, you will eventually die. It does not matter what genetic is or location you are born from. What matters is the social choice of the people living together in a defined territory. If you move from Turkay and go live among natives and adopt their culture, lifestyle, and language, you will be one of them. Even if you have black or white skin or blue eyes. Well, some native nations are not opened like that and do have genetic rules though. If you want to know if you really are a native in your blood, you should have the Mongolian blue spot somewhere on your body. My ex-girlfriend (and still friend) has a tiny one in her back. She is a Mi'kmaq for several generations, but she has been adopted in a family living in Montréal. She does not have much in common with the natives in her minds. She lives like the european style. I see that everything you have posted so far are the same as I told you in the thread. Not much of a big liar after all.
-
You are right. I think I did not include off reserves. I have often seen in-reserve natives not considering those living outside as one of their own. It's not my fight and I do not feel like arguing on that. It would be safer to say more than a million. Far from me the idea to diminish their weigh.

They should definitely stop whinning and put energies to build the democrate party and connect it back with the people. It's frustrating the people that the winner has 1% less (230 000 votes) than the loser. Well, that is the system guys. Next time, do not wait for unwanted results if you want to change it. Do something or shut up. Whinning won't solve anything. The republicans had a lower number of supporters in this one than they had in the last 4 elections. So Trump did not get new voters, he rather lost few. If they want to blame someone. They need to blame the people who did not take the time to vote. Plain and simple. Because when you do not vote, you censent to the choice the others will do. Learn the lesson!

There were 11 millions of natives in north america when the first european settlers came in. Now they are moreless 1 million. They did not occupy the territories as we do because many of them were nomades. They were also fighting against each others for territories. They did discovered the vast majority of the Canadian territory. If there was a place where they did not go yet, they eventually went there because the europeans were taking their land until they had no where else to go and ended up into small reserves.

Sometimes I wish I am wrong.

Altaï, Canada is very wide. The vikings have settled few habitations along the east coast. The only natives they have encountered are the Mi'kmaqs and the Innus. Nothing to do with an invasion. At best, they had settlements from Labrador to Capte Breton. The truth is we do not know much about it because nothing remains, but very few ruins in Newfoundland. The Vinland has existed but, it is difficult to figure out how big the settlements were. If they desapeared, it means it was not that big. I hope someday we will found new artifacts that will help us to know more about it. You definitely have no clue regarding the impact of the french and british in north america. Those two nations did NOT share as you say. They were constantly fighting each others for the ownership. They had two different approaches regarding america. The british were here to conquer and grab all the land. The french were rather doing business with the natives and they were entertaining a much better mutual relationship. Without the natives, the french wouldn't have make it. If you look at map of 1755 per say, you will find out that the french were mostly owning all of north america, except the east coast (13 colonies) and hudson bay. But the british outnumbered the french by 40 times. How do the french managed to hold them? The explanation is simple. The natives were the allies of the french. Almost all of them. In 1701, they all signed along the french the "Grande Paix" treaty where they united against the british. After the british beat the french in Québec and France gave up north america, there were no more obstacles for them to kill the natives. Slowly, one by one, they destroyed them all. It got worst when the americans became independent. Today, none of the remaining native nations has sovereignty. They are all placed into small reserves. The french got assimilated almost every where but in Québec. The only french majority location in north america. The british have tried for a long time to assimilate them but they always failed. Now the english canadians accept that reality and except on few political issues, they get along not so bad. Do not get confuse regarding the french of Canada and France Although the french canadiens are France's colonists, France has give up New France in 1763. France was not interested to keep it and prefered to keep few carabean islands. Too bad for the remaining french in Canada. So the french canadians developped their own identity and they do not feel they belong to France. The people of Québec call the french of France, "our cousins". Oh, and John Cabot was only an explorer. He did not invade anything. He was just passing by. Canada history is interesting. It's a good idea to study it. It's a short one though. 400 years ago, it was the creations of the first colonies. Compared to the history of humanity, it's a very short story.

It would be definitly too familiar from you to put something in my mouth. -

France did not ban the burkini. Few cities did and the French justice has removed the interdictions. I did not say the burkini is a kind of saviour for women. Far from it. I think it is ridiculous and it rathers show how much they feel bad and oppressed, even if they think they do not. -
Womens only swimming day at public pool.
Benz replied to taxme's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
In the hypothesis I made, I removed the evil part of it. You added one in your version. You are besides the point. The burkini is a very confused solution to people already confused. Those who wear it, they think they respect their religions but, the extremists who imposed those constraining clothes, are very against the burkini. They say it is totallly indecent. Ironic, isn't it? The burkini is a weird patch for those women who feel very bad at the idea that a man can see their ears. But it is also a source of irritation to those who created the problem. -

Benz replied to taxme's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I do not know you guys focus on the pool. The helmet is a much greater concern. Not only bikers, construction workers as well. They can get seriously injured and become disables. Therefore, a charge for the society. Imagine for a moment that Islam, or at least extreme version of it, does not exist... but, there are still women that really feel to shy to swim with men. It would not be seen as an exagerated accomodation to give them one hour per week at the pool. It's not the accomodation itself that is a problem. it's the reason behind it. What makes it worst, is the total lack of actions to fight the dark mindset of the extremists in those religions. Some of them endoctrinates people to a point where women are bashful up to their topknot. They want women to feel like shit.... and we do Nothing. Our inactions are making it looks worst. If you scratch your knee on the ground and you do not disinfect it, it may not heal. So when someone, is accomodating your infected knee, one can say it is nice to have sympathy to you, and another one will say it is stupid because it would be much better to heal it instead. -
Should it be legal to discriminate if that's what the client wants
Benz replied to Argus's topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
It would become an issue if he hires a woman that fit the requirements and then fires her next year if he thinks she is no more attractive enough for him as he requested. When you fire someone, you can't use discrimination of this kind. Unless he can prove that she is no longer capable to do the job. Think about a bar tender or a waitress in a bar. The boss can argue that he needs an image that sells more. Whether we like it or not, there is not much we can do. Unless one can prove there is another bad motivation behind it. Regarding the PA, she can legally ask for compensation if she can prove that the employer is unreasonable. -
You are very confused. You want to get rid of the money system, but you are talking about luxury car. You seriously lack of the minimum of economical concepts. You got it all wrong regarding money. It was an excellent, and still is, the best tools to make a trade. Before the money, the trading was complicated. If I have 10 chicken and I need a fish, a new hammer and a horse, I had to manage a way to exchange my chicken to get those things. The logistic is problematic. With the money, I can first sell my chicken and then, I can go buy the stuff I need. The money ansers a obvious need to ease trades. The Big Owner you are talking about, was there before the money came in, is there while the money is and will be there after you get rid of money. There always has been and will always be a Big One that wants all the power. It's up to us to do what it needs to be done to prevent that. The money is just a tool. To help you understand, here is a possible situation that we could do. Imagine that we decide that the current money has no longer any value. We create a new one and every body start from scratch. All the rich people would lose their fortune and they would not be capable to use the money they had so far. Bang! all their power, gone. Of course, it is easier to say than to do. Only people without money would accept such thing. You often see something similar in Trading Stock Exchange. It is possible to buy 50 000$ of share of a company worth 100$ per action, you go in vacation for one week and when you come back, you learn that a scandal stroke the company and the actions are now worth 0.10 cents each. There you go, your 50 000$ has melt into a tiny 50$. With the trading fees when you sell it, you end up with only 25$ in your pockets. It's common in a world of speculation. It's a very bad economical and financial system. But then again, the problem is not the money itself. In your fantasy world, it's not true that you can have anything. It does not work that way. Someone has to build your shoes. Nothing is for free. Would you make your own shoes? Who decides who is going to build those shoes?

Democracy could end your system. The capitalists are saying that communism lies only in a dictatorship but, it is not always true. Actually, in some communism systems, such the former soviet union, the people could sometimes have a better say on the politics than a capitalist democratic system where the politicians are the elite's puppets. Capitalism/communism and democracy/dictatorship are two differents angles and there can be several combinations. Everything you have mentionned so far is very theorical and is based on a good will. When you try to apply that in the real life, the problems start. Which does not mean the main idea is bad but, a better solution must be investigated. The problem with your system is, you are trying to bring a micro management to a very high level and the so far, the humans are still not capable to solve the inevitable bureaucracy size of this. You say that you decide the color of your shoes and the system will bring it to you. No you don't. Neither in such system, nor in a capitalist system. In the capitalist system, you will be allowed to have the exact shape and colors only if the benefit of the supplier is great enough to make it worth it. Usually, it means that you are not the only one who wants it and therefore, the mass production bring it to a cheap unit cost. Or, the application of the color is so low cost that there is no issue for the supplier to personalize it for you. In your system, it is not true that the system can affort any customization an individual would required for a 3$ total cost. The cost of production would be too high and other kind of services or products would pay the price in return. Corruption in a communist system is very high because the individuals in the apparel system manage to use it for their own benefit and although it is illegal, it is often tolerated by the authorities because their are the ones that benefit the most from it. It is not different than any other kind of system. That is why even if you think you will have the appropriat measures, someone will by pass them. There is always a flaw, an exploit. You are doing a good exercise and you are not the first one. I have been there and many other people before us too. I suggest you to distinguish your wishful thinking from your concrete propositions though. You should have at least two lists. One is the Goals or objectives. In this one, we debate on what should be an ideal situation. The other one is, the Means and Solutions. In this one, you explain and debate how you will reach your goals. How to proceed. The reason why I tell you this is, sometimes you can have a good idea but, you do not take the right solution to make it happen. And sometimes it is not necessary the plan that causes an issue. It's the base idea and you have to question yourself, is it really what we want? We know communism failed and we know capitalism failed has well. It would be easy to pretend that the solution is somewhere in between but, it is more complex than that. We do not have the perfect system yet and there are room to debate about it.

I think Trump managed himself to get all that attention and has no intention to change the formula. He is not complaining. I did not follow the english canadian medias that much, but here we had enough news in the french media about the very corporatist side of Hillary. We very aware that she represents and works for the establishment and have not much in common with the "real people". She has no effect or does not generate any inspiration like Obama did few years ago. The sincerity lacks badly she is VERY lucky to have Trump as the opponent for presidency. Now that the republican establishment is giving up on Trump, one would think that he is toasted and it will be an easy win for Clington. It is safe to say it is a bug possible outcome but, I would not be so sure about it. If Trump plays his cards well, he can manage to represent the image of the guy against the establishment (democrats and republicans), a guy of the people. He still can cause the surprise Just because the Bush family and so many other republicans do not like him, it makes him look more sympathic, or less terrible. He has nothing more to lose, Clington has every thing to lose. I would not bet on any of those two.

I see your point but, Isis attacked Turkey. Isis is not a nation. They are terrorists.

WTF? I never said that artificial light is a substitution to sleep. Where did you get that? You are making this up yourself. I dare you to prove that I said such stupid things. You are constantly interpreting and creating your own shit and you claim that I am the one who fails. It does not work that way Altaï. Keep up with what I say please. I am not the owner of your imagination. You say that god create night and day to fit out need to rest. I tell you that you are wrong and here are the explanations why. Days and nights are the result of the exposure of the light from the sun. When our side of earth faces the sun, we have the light, when our side of earth is having the sun to its back, we have the night. That situation is occuring since the beginning of earth, few billions of years ago. The human life form as it is today (homo sapiens), exist since 200 000 years. Our body needs to rest and we choosed the night to do so because it is more conveniant. Not all life form choosed to do the same. The bats live at night and sleep during daylight. So many others as well. We are capable to dance during the night because it is possible to break the circle. It is even possible to live at night and sleep during the day. But the human body is not very well adapted for that. People doing that have a bigger potential to have illness problems. It is demonstrated that women working during night shift have alot more chances to get breast cancer than the ones working during the day. Because one of the best tool to fight cancer is the melatonin. People not using daylight have more chances to fall into depression. Truckers that drive during the night time are now using a blue light in the cabin to help them stay awake. I was wrong regarding the hibernation of polar bears indeed. My mystake. I mixed up with other spieces that hibernate. But there is a time where the bears are saving their accumulated fat that gives them energy. It's not a real hibernation like other species. It was not a good example, pick up any other animal that hibernate and then the same logic still applies anyway. Hibernation IS NOT a sleep. It is a state of hypothermia. They do NOT do that to rest. They do that because they know they cannot find enough food to survive during the coldest time of the year. It is not the same thing. I am very sorry for you if you lack so much in the science knowledge at your age. What do they teach you at school besides the Quran? Regarding the skin color, you are mixing up the color reflection and the absorption of the sun light. A too dark skin at the poles can lead to rickets because of the lack of vitamin D contained in the sunrays. The natives in the poles are compensing that with the local food they have, rich in fat. A too light skin can cause cancer because of the UV rays. This is why the skin of the humans is adapted like this. It's a process that takes time. One individual does not live long enough to see the evolution itself. I am impressed by the lack of knowledge you have and your weak capacity to find information by yourself. It's like if you are not even trying. The information is there, available for you, very easy to find with internet. Instead of searching, you make up your own shortcuts and you think you can call a FAIL on topics that you are no clue what you are talking about. Well, let's see the positive side of it. At least you take the time to discuss about it. So it gives you an opportunity to learn something.
