    A 62-year-old woman in western Turkey faces a possible jail sentence for throwing a plastic slipper at her son during a family row.

    Hasan Guzel complained to the police about his mother Senay and she was charged for "use of a weapon" with intent to cause injury.

    Under Article 86 of the penal code, she could get two to five years in jail.

    "I just took it off and threw it... I missed," she told Dogan news agency. She lives near the city of Denizli.

    "He came to beat me and I threw the slipper," she told police.

     

    Is this one Christian or atheist?  The article doesn't say, so by Altai logic, he is automatically Christian or atheist.

    I disagree, we must lead by example, our loving christian open ways and acceptance of all cultures will cause bad people to change their views and minds when they come here.  It is easy to say hate the infidels until the infidel is your friend.

    I don't think this is working so well, certainly not in other countries.  I don't know why we are expecting  it to work in Canada when it's not working anywhere else.

    Why are you lying ? We have eyes and brains. 

    "Tens of millions of Shia Muslims have taken part in one of the biggest marches in the world, risking their lives to travel through Iraq in celebration of a famous Muslim martyr and in defiance of ISIS attacks"

    "The Arba'een Pilgrimage is the world's largest public gathering that is held every year.

    The pilgrims face dangers such as "attacks that have been blamed on Sunni extremists, who have routinely targeted the pilgrims" using car bombs or rockets. "

    I'm surprised you know nothing of this annual pilgrimmage.

    British atheist or christian or whatever person murders gays. Ohh wtf, what a bloody psychopaths you Christians or atheists or judaics or far easterners or whatever are. Maybe we should nuke them all before they are going to attempt kill us.

    Why post crimes that are not religiously motivated?  What is your point?  We all acknowledge that bad people sometimes do bad things.  But the things you are posting are NOT religously motivated.  You're not comparing anything.

    Lying to the unbeliever:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiya

    Any exceptions are listed.

    Perfectly acceptable: lying in this situation does not have the same stigma as it does in Western Civilization.

    There was a Muslim family we had as patients (husband, wife, 5 children).  The husband would call in to make appointments, but would lie to me all the time about who the appointments were for.  He would book for himself regularly, then show up with the entire family.

    I explained to him that this was not acceptable, as it meant that others who had booked appointments had to wait longer.  I explained that it was no problem booking appointments for the entire fmaily, I just needed to know how many so we could schedule accordingly.  

    He laughed in my face and refused to discuss it.  After they went into the exam room, another Muslim lady in the waiting room explained to me about taqiya.  She told me that to Muslims, Westerners are not ever entitled to the truth.  They are free to lie about anything to Westerners.  I asked her why he would feel it was necessary to lie to me in this situation and she just smiled and said, "He does it because you are a woman and because he can."

  6. I managed a private doctor's office for 2 years and this is what I saw in healthcare:

    Because the perception is that healthcare is "free" in Canada, many patients abuse it.  They run to the doc for every little thing and demand to have procedures and tests done that the doctor didn't feel was necessary. Just one example:   I had a patient call in and demand to see the doctor immediately because she woke up from a nap and felt like she was getting a cold....(Sorry, folks, still no cure for the common cold)  She then demanded to have a chest x-ray done at the hospital although there was no indication it was necessary. When a patient demands unncessary tests/procedures, a doctor's hands can be tied if he doesn't comply.

    My idea was to allow a certain number of doctor visits a year and then charge a sort of "user fee" for adiitional visits - unless you have a condition that requires more attention (cancer or such).  

    I believe that patient abuse is partially responsible for the excessively long wait times for procedures and tests.

    This is my point.  Argus gets to decide that views that are against his are preposterous and idiotic.

    You don't find forcing all non-aboriginals to leave Canada and go to "Europe" is preposterous and idiotic?

    When are you leaving?

    Are you hitching a ride on the Turkish navy ships or finding your own way there?

    That's pretty much the point I'm making - just because we bicker with some people more than others doesn't make them a troll. 

    I never said she was a troll because she bickers.  It's a discussion board - there's going to be bickering.  

    When I see posts threatening to unleash the full fury of the Turkish navy in every thread, demanding Canadians get out of Canada, disrespect and vitriol for anyone who disagrees with them....then I'm saying that is trolling, obviously trying to provoke reactions.

    After a few encounters, I'm with Argus.  There is no reasonable discussion possible with that one.

    Are you're talking about Altai?  If so, as an outsider's observation, you both address each other in a disrespectful way so it's not that she's a troll, but you two seem to have an underlying animosity toward each other.  

     

    Not exactly.  

    He/She/It is pretty disrespectful to everybody here.  I'm often surprised at the threats made.

    I don't define any by their secondary characteristics, i.e., lip size, nose structure, hair texture, skin tone or colourbecause I have learned dna shows such characertistics are meaningless. A coal black man and a snow white man who look completely different can have more in common with their dna then two snow white men or two coal black men. DNA and modern genetics has proved skin colour, head shape, nose structure, those are all secondary characteristics but can be misleading as to determining the true origins of the people with these traits.

    Very true.

    I am awaiting my DNA results.  I'm excited to see them.  I don't look like anyone in my family except my paternal grandmother, and we both look like her mother, so I'm expecting to see Romanian/Czech results.  My family is all very tall and blond.  I'm shorter and darker.  No one else in my family has curly hair, except my children got the curly gene from me.  My maternal grandfather used to tease me that I was living proof that "there is a ni**er in every family's woodpile"......:blink:  (His racism and prejudice died with him, thank the Goddess.)

    I agree too much moderator intervention can be a problem though. They should only intervene when the problem is serious. I see mods stepping in to announce that "things are getting off-topic", even though no one is making insults. This often happens late in a thread, after most people have given their opinion on the original post. If people are having an interesting meta-discussion, why shut it down?

     

    I've been on a few forums and MLW has sort of a "pet peeve" about getting off-topic, handled quite militantly. 

    Other forums I've been on allow the one who started the thread to direct it, bring it back on topic if they choose to.  

    I kind of like the free-flowing conversational nature of threads, it's more like real-life - no conversations between groups of people stay strictly on topic and a bit of humour can sometimes lighten the mood of a serious thread.  We used to call it "fluff".....and yes, sometimes there would be several pages of "fluff" to wade through before a thread got back on topic, but the "fluff" was still fun and interesting and served a purpose.

    But I do think there is one person here who is deliberately abrasive and insulting on every thread.  I consider that trolling, more so than getting a bit off- topic.

    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.

    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.

    This is a truism I have learned in life too.  I have known people who would not be judged "beautiful" by most standards, but when you get to know their souls - they are kind, compassionate, forgiving, non-judgmental - they become very beautiful in my eyes.

    I've also known some very good-looking people who, when they open their mouths and spout hatred and vitriol, are unkind and uncompassionate, threaten and debase others.....well, you're correct - they look very ugly indeed.

    You should be sent back to your original homeland if natives wish such a thing and its highly possible they would wish to take back their lands which they live on as minority today.

    I'm wondering WHY you are on a Canadian political forum.  You clearly hate Canadians and hate everything about how our country is run.  You contradict yourself constantly - in one thread you are totally against land ownership, in another thread you outline a plan for world domination and in this thread (and others) you advocate all Canadians leaving the country to give it back to the natives (saying they own the land, which you previously state no one owns  :blink:....).

    My grandchild is now 7th generation Canadian.  Where exactly would you have us all go to?

    I am not mentally ill or dont have other disorders. So please stop talk like to a mentally ill person. Your speech would not take my attention if I was mentally ill but I am much more clever than you can imagine and this makes you seem like mentally ill to me and probably to other people. A pity your children if you act like that to them too, we are capable to understand many things since from early ages, I remember many things from the times when I was 3-4 years old, maybe even from more earlier times. A friend of mine who was recently went to US within student exchange program told me that people in his school thinks that he is a math professor, because you behave your children like they are mentally retardated persons.

     

    OK  :)
