False. An examination of a number of posts will prove I do not insult everyone all the time. Your claim is a lie. I do not "damn them with Bible quotes". I often quote the Bible to prove them wrong or what I am saying is true. You don't accept it because of your anti-Bible/anti-Christian ideology, that's all. I am not harassing anyone. But I am sure you disagree with me and use the argument of harassment, which is false. The BC Human Rights Code speaks about one of the grounds of discrimination is religion. Therefore your argument that you can insult and call names because of my Bible quotes is proof you are breaking the Code. You are breaking the Code by trying to deny my right to quote the Bible and my interpretation of it. That is what they do Islamic and Communist countries.

I can understand why you would want someone you disagree with to just go away and disappear. Your name if fairly new on here and some of us have been on here for a long time. But I have as much right to speak as you without endless insults and name-calling form a particular individual. Freedom of speech is not unlimited. When you go beyond debate about a certain subject and concentrate on insulting and name-calling, it is perfectly proper to point that out and explain why it is wrong. We should try a little harder to treat other people with some respect.

I know it is a national forum. I don't insult people very often, and nowhere near with the fierceness and repetition of this individual. He has proven his insults are partly driven by his animosity toward my religious beliefs and therefore it is a violation of the BC Human Rights Code. You yourself have sometimes referred by my religious beliefs as a reason for your opposition to me and my comments. So you too also broke the BC Human Rights Code. The reason I posted under the Federal Politics is because that is where 95% of the discussions and insults take place. Therefore it is the best place to draw attention to it. But I can understand why you would want it not to be seen.

No, saying someone could go to hell is not in the BC Human Rights Code and I have very rarely said anything like that. Secondly it is not a personal comment in the same sense as a steady stream of name-calling and personal insults. The occasional comment in the context of a religious belief is not in the same category at all. I can understand people on the forum make the odd comment which is questionable, as I have done on occasion. But this person, has absolutely no restraint at all with his steady stream of name-calling and personal insults. Something is seriously wrong where a forum has that kind of thing going on.

I just received a reply to my post about this issue from the offender. He totally rejects my reply and reference to the BC Human Rights Code and just adds more insults. You can read over a number of his comments under this topic: Time to bring back capital punishment for murder of police officers and prison guards - Page 3 - Federal Politics - Repolitics.com - Political Discussion Forums

I am not trying to report a particular incident at this time. Just trying to raise awareness.

Since there is no moderation of comments involving personal attacks, I think it is reasonable to mention this. From BC Human Rights Code quote 3 The purposes of this Code are as follows: (a)to foster a society in British Columbia in which there are no impediments to full and free participation in the economic, social, political and cultural life of British Columbia; (b)to promote a climate of understanding and mutual respect where all are equal in dignity and rights; (c)to prevent discrimination prohibited by this Code; unquote quote 7 (1)A person must not publish, issue or display, or cause to be published, issued or displayed, any statement, publication, notice, sign, symbol, emblem or other representation that (a)indicates discrimination or an intention to discriminate against a person or a group or class of persons, or (b)is likely to expose a person or a group or class of persons to hatred or contempt because of the Indigenous identity, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age of that person or that group or class of persons. unquote Human Rights Code (gov.bc.ca)

Not only are you the worst false accuser, insulter, and name caller on the forum, but you regularly violate the Human Rights Code by attacking me personally for my religious beliefs and political opinions. My comments do not attack you personally the way you do. You have no limits to how far you will go. Your constant demeaning and insulting pattern toward me is obvious to anyone who reads it. By doing so, you are really just painting yourself. quote 3 The purposes of this Code are as follows: (a)to foster a society in British Columbia in which there are no impediments to full and free participation in the economic, social, political and cultural life of British Columbia; (b)to promote a climate of understanding and mutual respect where all are equal in dignity and rights; (c)to prevent discrimination prohibited by this Code; unquote quote 7 (1)A person must not publish, issue or display, or cause to be published, issued or displayed, any statement, publication, notice, sign, symbol, emblem or other representation that (a)indicates discrimination or an intention to discriminate against a person or a group or class of persons, or (b)is likely to expose a person or a group or class of persons to hatred or contempt because of the Indigenous identity, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age of that person or that group or class of persons. unquote Human Rights Code (gov.bc.ca)

It looks like everything Trudeau and the Liberals touch turns to garbage. This somehow seems similar to the ex GG, David Johnson appointed to investigate Chinese election interference. He was extremely unpopular in that position and finally had to step down. Now another liberal, the Speaker of the House of Commons is being forced to step down. All this is because of Trudeau and Liberal mismanagement. Why didn't the Liberals ensure they had a proper process for screening every individual coming into the House of Commons? This was one of the most important gatherings in the HOC in many years and it was sabotaged by the mistake of one man. This has far-reaching consequences with Russian propaganda and Canada's image on the world stage. Surely the government should be held responsible since they are the only ones that have the power and organization to properly screen individuals.

We are in a housing crisis and millions of Canadians are going to food banks that are running out of food. This crisis is caused by government overspending and wasting money on everything under the sun. We know the BC NDP is great at throwing millions of dollars out for everything they can think of, including things FNs demand. How about stopping the waste of taxpayer's money for a first step in helping millions of Canadians who are suffering and have no home. Tent cities and homeless people are a disaster in many cities. FNs north of Vancouver shut down a provincial park/lake. Not sure if it's open now, maybe. But the NDP just sucks up to them and lets them shut a park down to public. They could easily send a few RCMP in there and arrest some of them.

Nonsense. Every person entering Parliament for this major event should have been cleared by security which is the Trudeau government's responsibility. Nobody else has this responsibility. They failed to screen this guy. This was a major security breach which has far-reaching consequences.

Do you think society is responsible for criminals killing police officers? Would you blame society or is the criminal entirely responsible for his actions?

Never said that. Do you understand the difference between western Capitalism and Socialism/Communism?

"Speaker Anthony Rota apologized on Sunday for giving a standing ovation to Yaroslav Hunka in the House of Commons. The 98-year-old, it was later revealed, fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War." The group reportedly murdered thousands of innocent people. This recognition is particularly grievous to the Jews and Poles, who lost thousands of their people to the Nazis. Speaker Anthony Rota apologizes for honouring man who fought for Nazis | National Post Ultimately the PM, the PMO's office, and his security apparatus is responsible for screening everyone who is allowed into Parliament and to be recognized by Parliament. What happened on Friday is an international embarrassment that will also be used by Russia to try to make the case that Ukrainians are Nazis and Canada support Nazis. It is a total disaster that the Trudeau government is responsible for and could have been prevented.

The guy was part of a Nazi group that murdered thousands of people.

Zelinskyy is not "hanging out with the Nazis". This Nazi brought into Parliament has nothing to do with Zelinskyy.

Trudeau, the Prime Minister's Office, and his security are entirely responsible for who gets into Parliament and who is invited into Parliament. This guy obviously should have been screened by security but apparently was not. Trudeau must accept responsibility for this. I am not holding my breath.

Yes Commies and Socialists like to make that bizarre claim, but it is totally false. Read my above post I made to you. You can also Google the subject.

In a quasi-Socialist state like Canada, many politicians and people believe government's job is to provide everything a person needs to live on. It is no longer universally believed that each individual must work and provide for themselves. It is becoming more and more the state's responsibility. Along with this idea, is, since the state is responsible for everything for everyone, no individual is completely responsible for his own actions. Every action or crime of an individual is somehow society's fault. Therefore much of society and government believe since nothing is completely the individual's fault, nobody should receive capital punishment for murder. According to liberal ideology, criminals are not completely responsible for their actions; it is society's fault. This is what happens when society drifts away from God and his written revelation to man. There is no escaping this fact.

Here is a more in-depth article on the subject. First we agree that a certain amount of government services and taxes are required to provide basic services which I mentioned. But Canada and the U.S. are what is called quasi-Socialist. They are not full Socialist countries, but they are Socialist in certain respects and to varying degrees. "Socialism is more than impossible or inefficient. Socialism is immoral because it is government-sanctioned theft." This article explains what we have and what is wrong with Socialism. The Bible Prohibits Socialism — Knowing Scripture "All Forms of Socialism Are Theft Central to the moral argument against socialism and quasi-socialism is the 8th commandment: You shall not steal (Exodus 20:15; Deuteronomy 5:19). This command teaches the concept of private property and forbids the taking of property from an innocent person. God added to this condemnation of socialism by prohibiting envy in the 10th commandment: You shall not covet (Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21). God is a capitalist, which we know because God endorses private property. This is inferred from the 8th commandment. The prohibition of theft assumes that people own things. Of course, everything in this world belongs to God. Yet He has delegated control and responsibility of things to individuals. We call this private property rights. Everyone understands this concept. No one likes others stealing their belongings, and they therefore do things to prevent theft, such as lock their door at night. It is also the case that every civilized society prohibits theft. People have property rights, and the government should protect such rights. Yet this all breaks down for many people when the government gets involved. It is wrong for Bob to take a quarter of your income. But if Bob and his friends lobby the government, politicians pass legislation, and the government gives one quarter of your money to Bob, then all is right. This is exactly how the typical Western welfare state works. The government enacts a variety of taxes (sales tax, income tax, FICA, tariffs, etc.) and then redistributes the money to a variety of classes (the poor, students, elderly, disabled, politically well-connected, etc.). But this is not called “theft” because, well, the government says so. This situation exposes one of the chief flaws of democracy, a system where two wolves and a lamb vote on what to eat for dinner. Thus, modern societies have made an exception to the 8th commandment—“You shall not steal, except by majority vote.” One person cannot take your stuff, but if enough people vote to take your stuff, then it is “legal.” And if it is legal, then it is morally acceptable. Christians are enabling this problem by limiting the 8th commandment to individuals instead of societies. However, the 8th commandment provides no such limitation. Groups are made up of individuals, and stealing is still stealing when done by a group." This is one reason why the Bible is so important and everyone should understand and respect it as God's word. Without the Bible, anyone can justify anything just as Hitler, Stalin, and Chairman Mao did and just as many politicians are doing today in the world. But the underlying fact is the Bible is not just another book, it's contents prove it came from God and therefore should be given the highest respect.

Of course. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. We know the state must provide certain essential things for society. We need roads, infrastructure, police, ambulances, hospitals, water systems, sewers, etc. But do you believe there is no limit to how much of a person's hard-earned money and property a state can take from an individual to spread it around? When does it become stealing? Is Communism stealing do you think? Therefore is Communism or Socialism evil? Are you OK with the state taking everything an individual has and redistributing it to those who did not earn it?

I accept the PM is a servant of God but that does not mean he is doing the will of God. He holds the position of PM. But what exactly the word servant means in that context, I think it would have to be analyzed and broken down a bit. I do not believe it means we are to blindly follow everything he believes or says. What do you believe about it? I told you what Romans ch13 and Genesis 9:6 says. Genesis 9:6 supports capital punishment and Romans 13 says authorities use the sword. Remember Jesus Christ is the word and the word is God. See John 1:1 "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. " John 1:14 KJV So the word is God in verse 1 and in verse 14 the word was made flesh (which is Jesus Christ) and dwelt among us. Since God inspired men to write the whole Bible, that means the Bible is also written by Jesus Christ, who is both the Son of God and God. That means that God (the trinity) are in agreement and God inspired men to write the Old Testament as well as the New Testament.

That is what Romans 13 says. Should we respect him as PM? Yes. That is how our democratic system works. We must respect him as the PM. That does not mean we must agree with everything he says or does. He is the leader and Romans ch13 says we are subject to the authorities. You are a kind of trickster always looking for a way to trip someone, wouldn't you say. It appears you do not believe or accept the Bible, but use parts of it when you find it convenient.

quote A Story of Compassion and Resilience. A man saw a snake being burned to death and decided to take it out of the fire. When he did, the snake bit him causing excruciating pain. The man dropped the snake, and the reptile fell right back into the fire. So, the man looked around and found a metal pole and used it to take the snake out of the fire, saving its life. Someone who was watching approached the man and said: “That snake bit you. Why are you still trying to save it?” The man replied: “The nature of the snake is to bite, but that's not going to change my nature, which is to help.” Do not change your nature simply because someone harms you. Do not lose your good heart, but learn to take precautions. unquote "Snakes (or serpents) get plenty of attention in the Bible, which mentions them over 80 times. Snakes show up in Pharaoh’s court (Exodus 7:12), in the wilderness (Numbers 21:7), on the island of Malta (Acts 28:3), and, of course, in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1). They are almost always pictured as loathsome creatures, associated with poison and craftiness. As amoral creatures, snakes are not “evil” in themselves—but they are a handy metaphor for evil in many passages." What does the Bible say about snakes? Are snakes evil? | GotQuestions.org One can choose to be an evil snake or follow Christ. That is individual choice.

I understand how you can't control yourself and have to resort to insults. If that's all you've got you have nothing worth reading or paying attention to. Good night.
