Agreed. I just think that becoming unhinged and raging during his hearing was probably a bad choice of time to do so. If there was any time to be professional - this was it. And he blew it.

That was before his rage-filled, unhinged performance at the hearings. Now, over 1000 law professors have signed a petition saying that he is unfit for the SC.

Nope. Doesn't weigh on my mind at all, I've just seen you conclude that Trump is God's chosen one, comparing him to Cyrus. I just find it amusing how your values shift. Religious threats of hellfire don't work on me. We're all going to hell in someone else's religion.

You better hope so.

Don't these people understand that God himself chose Trump?

"Why do people think Trump supporters are stupid?" I saw this posted on social media, but I think it about sums it up.

Perhaps men should just stay home and not put themselves in situations where they can be falsely accused. These things wouldn't happen if they would just not go to bars and drink or just not go out at night. They should also dress in a way that makes them less threatening to women to avoid false allegations.

Well, there's that and also: Men must be protected from the consequences of rape attempts at all costs. Especially if they are powerful men.

Except that Kavanaugh dodged the question when asked directly if he would work to overturn Roe v. Wade. We also know that Trump flat out said he would be stocking the SC with Justices who would overturn it. It's an important enough issue that I think we need more than some vague "more than likely he'll uphold it".

One of the things Mr. Bawer talks about in his book is the passivity of bystanders to the violent attacks taking place: I saw exactly the same thing here in Canada one time. On a facebook page for the town I was living in, a large group of Muslims eventually took it right over. We could see it happening gradually until someone posted a news item about Gaza. In the comments, an Israeli girl talked about how much she worried for her family still living there and the Muslim backlash was shocking and frightening. They all ganged up on her online, telling her that her family deserved to die, that she needed to be killed, bloody descriptions of how she should be killed. A few of us tried to stick up for her, and after that, the owner of the page abandoned it to the Muslims who promptly blocked any of us who publicly stood up for her or posted anything about terrorist activities around the world. (not a great loss, lol) You can call me paranoid, you can call me an Islamophobe, but I'm not one to sit by and watch what's going on, say and do nothing or completely deny it's happening. We need to start asking ourselves, as individuals, what we are going to do if we don't start paying attention to this issue. We need to start talking about how far we're going to let this go on, instead of burying our heads in the sands of political correctness. The German people denied that Jews were being burned in the ovens, even as the ashes fell on their yards and cars.

That's a typo. It's Nas Daily. He does happy, positive little videos about all the countries he travels to, He's a Muslim, but a secular one. You can probably youtube his videos.

But every bit of compelling information is dismissed with "Nothing to see here. Move along, you bunch of Islamophobes." Every country in Europe that has taken in large amounts of Islamics has seen an upsurge in gay-bashing, antisemitic attacks and a downgrading in the circumstances of women. This should concern us. The situation is so bad in France that in 2004: And this is just one country. The others report the same. Amsterdam used to be one of the most tolerant, accommodating cities, but it is not that any longer. Gay-bashing is now rampant. I see the same thing happening now as what happened in Germany. Today, it is the gay community, the Jewish community and women who suffer under Muslims. Tomorrow it may be you, because your response to this information will be "Fake news, there's nothing to see here, antisemitism has always been around, not all Muslims do this." The problem is that enough of them ARE doing it, with the encouragement and/or the tacit approval of their communities, that it is changing the face of these countries. And not in a good way. Yes, not ALL the Muslims are doing these things. That much is obvious, or the situation would be much much worse. And it will continue to get worse until we all start facing up to some unpleasant truths. I think this needs to be discussed. Reformer Muslims think it should be discussed. The only ones who don't want this discussed are apologists and politicians.

https://conatusnews.com/muslim-reformers-versus-islam-apologists/ I'm going to post this article again.

Could be. Not sure when the last was it was used to actually prosecute someone. Prolly about the same length of time as some of the stupid American laws still on the books: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/weird-laws-in-america_us_56a264abe4b0d8cc1099e1cd

Then why do you always have to re-write what people say? Could it be to make it "sound" like they are demonizing ALL Muslims?

Ditto. I think we're all tired of doing that for you. Does this mean you'll stop re-writing everything I say?

Untrue. When I related an experience of a Muslim lady who worked with my friend, who was constantly harassed at work because she was the only Muslim female who didn't hijab up (and she had to say extra prayers every day to atone for her sin of vanity), and my friend was trying to support her, you called my friend a liar. Because apparently in your dream world, Muslim women never harass each other to wear their Islamic dress. Which is why I asked if you had seen all the comments on the Nas Daily video where he was disagreeing with hijab. Because the comments were mostly from other Muslims telling him he was wrong and should die for saying such a thing. Edit to add: I showed my freind your comment calling her a liar and her reply was "She's part of the problem."

We've been over this over and over and over again. I've stated many times that I don't think ALL Muslims do this or that or the other thing. I don't believe the majority of people believe that ALL Muslims do this or that or the other thing - it's only YOU that shits all over anyone who suggests misogyny or Jew-hating or wife beating is a problem in Muslim societies. And I get it - you don't think they are problems. Hysterical? The only who gets hysterical here is you, constantly having to re-word everyone's statements until they border on the ridiculous and nit-picking over words because they didn't say something EXACTLY the way YOU think they should of. I think that high horse you're always on is making you dizzy;.

You're prolly right about that. I wonder how often someone is brought up on incest charges in Canada?

Even between adults, such as a father & daughter or 2 siblings, there can be a power dynamic that can make consent impossible to judge. When children result from incestuous relations, the risk of serious birth defects, early death and physical and mental disabilities increase by 50%. Those are 2 concerns that lawmakers would have. (I only know this because I knew a family where the uncle married his niece and they had 2 kids. 2 kids with severe mental disabilities.)

What a nit-picky bunch of crap. How dare Goddess suggest that women in Islamic countries can't leave the house without covering!! Blasphemy!! Yet you contradict yourself right here: Who gives a shit whether it's mandated by the government or by their society??? The result is the same - subjugation of women. Which they bring and insist on in their new countries. Sooooo sorry I didn't go into every possible detail and scenario. And you talk about everyone else's experiences with Muslims as being irrelevant and that we're claiming our experience is universal. Duhhhhhhh........

That's not my definition, but it is clearly the definition some here have.

We can question their attitudes? Have you noticed what happens to people who question their attitudes? How do we keep out the extreme ones when we can't even agree on what constitutes extremism in Islam? To Dia, the only extremists in Islam are the ones who kill and to her, they are just "mentally ill". Her standards are so low (but only for Muslims) that going by her standards, nearly any one can come in and be welcomed, no matter what their beliefs are as long as they don't kill when they're here. Who cares what they believe or have done in the old country? Somehow, Canada's magic borders takes care of all that. I don't get the impression that you would be "fine" with any kind of questioning of Muslim attitudes. Like Dia, you seem to not feel they have any attitudes worth worrying about (in spite of the attitudes shown by the Muslim countries we are importing from), you bristle every time Muslim attitudes are questioned and you've said many times that their society is just as good as our's.
