  1. In no way did I mean to imply this. I was simply pointing out that the Philosophy of Jesus closely resembles the philosophy of Siddhārtha Gautama (Buddha). My point was how the reward for following these teachings were obtained. In the Buddhist Philosophy the reward is to be obtained in this life, And according to Jesus the reward is access to the Kingdom of heaven after this life. My question to you was does Christianity promote the benefits of living by the Philosophy of Jesus in this life time? And if not wouldn't it be better and more effective for creating better human beings on earth? It is true that Siddhārtha Gautama claimed to be nothing more than a regular man, and was not to be worshiped. But I don't think that this equates with any sort of failure. In fact it was/is an inspiration to regular human beings, that they too can find enlightenment by walking in his path. And 376 million followers is not a failure. For me this statement really equates to the human ego. "The Bible teaches us that Satan EGO is in control of this world." I'm not an expert So I am open to your understanding of this meeting. Again I'm not an expert on this, but I don't remember Jesus physically doing battle. He battled the temptations did he not? I just equate Satan with the embodiment of the Ego in each of us, and the Christian God with the embodiment of the Empathy and Altruism in each of us. Therefore both God and Satan live within us. But we can agree to disagree on this.
  2. Yes I realize this, Mulroney was the start with Free Trade. But Harper has shown a disdain for Canada, and I really don't think it would matter in the least to him if Canada merged with Amaerica. Traitor is a strong description, but one in which might be valid.
  3. I wonder when people will realize that Harper doesn't give a crap about Canada, or Canadian sovereignty.
  4. There is something wrong with you.
  5. Yes I think lessons can be learned. If we don't learn our history, we're doomed to repeat it.
  6. The federal Government is not funding this, I don't know if the provincial is. The government is NOT providing a place for people who purchase these drugs Possession of an illegal drug is currently against the law. Why are you equating giving people a safe place to do drugs to giving drunk drivers a hotel room? Your logic is flawed.
  7. Look TimG we've been through this before. You are a climate change denier and trying to discuss this matter is like talking to a wall. Your other theories about me are just crazy
  8. Well then what does this question have to do with anything?
  9. You are making a comparison to the drug injection site, to smokers. the drug injection site is a place that provides a safe place for drug use, clean needles, and counseling and help to get off these drugs. They don't supply drugs, only needles in order to prevent HIV and other diseases. I don't have a reading disability, but I think you have a moral disability.
  10. I guess I'm just trying to figure out how a climate change denier's mind works and I took a stab at a theory. If the rapture is upon us then the environment or the world doesn't matter right? Just a theory
  11. Yes because forcing people to change always works right? They don't need to want it right?
  12. And drug dealer's exist because of prohibition, so blame the government.
  13. Who is supplying drug user's Drugs? What the hell are you talking about? Do you ever try to understand the issues before you comment? And yes it's the right thing to do to help save the life of the unfortunate and addicted. Apparently you would like to just round them up and put them out of their misery?
  14. It's the symbolism that disturbs me about this issue. Who does he work for Canada, or Harper?
  15. I agree with you. I don't know where this idea of refusal to "come out and condemn Jihadist Islam" comes from. And as far as the "remove any mention of religion in the public realm". I think I would require some examples.
  16. Honestly between his actions and Harper dropping the Name Canada, I'm really confused as to the motives. Someone help me on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXywZ7ycXTI
  17. It's about converting to a green economy and saving the planet. Things you don't believe in. I'm sure you believe in the Rapture so you don't give a crap about the world.
  18. John Baird Demands Gold On New Business Cards http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2011/09/30/foreign-affairs-minister-_n_988360.html#s381624&title=Althia_Raj Ohhh the arrogance, what is the point of this?
  19. Closing Vancouver's Insite drug clinic would violate Charter of Rights, top court rules individual rights trumps the wishes of the elected.
  20. More gut feelings on his part Black dog.
  21. Absolute apples and oranges. Never going to happen.
  22. drug counseling and recovery programs is what these sites are about. This and a safe place with clean needles.
  23. Data Please....Gut feelings don't count
  24. I'm also looking forward to this. I think it could strongly relate to the current issue of marijuana prohibition. Same problems, same solution.
