calm down hoss, no need to give yourself a heart attack, I don't have to accept their backwards culture that demeans women, homosexuals, converts, apostates

centered in the middle east which is obviously not 1 country but JW doesn't really have a main region..its sparse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_by_country

you haven't explained what you meant by "progress" because what is progress to some is not progress to others

Jehovah's Witnesses culture is not a Russian or French culture....it doesn't really centre in any one country what a dumb comment by you though

People come from poor countries all of the time and find work here and make a life...sure, its hard but its not near as impossible as you make it seem I left a culture I was in for 18 years ...very tough but I did it and I have a good paying job and an okay apartment I am doing fine, I don't see why they can't do the same

If Boyd Crowder can get a launcher I'm sure its pretty easy (wonders if anyone gets this reference)

so you're saying Quebec is poor because they are less tolerant of other religions and cultures?

I said I will always admire Quebec for the protection of their culture..hopefully other provinces join suit with them in that regard You said Its kept them relatively poor in comparison with the richer parts of Canada. So I concluded with the fact that Quebec's culture comes first before anyone else is what you were implying is the reason Quebec is poorer

The world isn't black or white man, it is not possible to love everybody's religion and culture and if you say you do you are full of shit so lets hear it cybercoma, are you real or are you full of shit?

If they can't handle our culture no one is stopping them from going back to the hole they came from

That is your opinion, in your mind you are right and in my mind I am right

I've proven it to myself with all of the articles and statistics I've read, and it stays as my position even if an oaf like yourself screams at me on the internet and calls me racist

I am betting these were for North Korea .. any other guesses? Clutch catch by the Fins! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16292244 Police are questioning the crew of the MS Thor Liberty after what were described as 69 Patriot anti-missile missiles were found aboard. Interior Minister Paivi Rasanen said the missiles were marked "fireworks". The MS Thor Liberty had docked in the Finnish port of Kotka after leaving Germany last week. Dock workers became suspicious after finding explosives poorly stored on open pallets, and the missiles were then found in containers marked "fireworks". The managing director of the ship's owner, Thorco Shipping, expressed surprise. Thomas Mikkelsen told AFP news agency from Denmark that he was unaware of the matter. Another company official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the ship had been detained in Finland and said the missiles could have been loaded on to the vessel by mistake, AFP adds. Police did not confirm Finnish media reports that the ship had also been scheduled to stop in South Korea, Reuters news agency reports. 'Quite unusual' The MS Thor Liberty left port in Emden, northern Germany, on 13 December and docked two days later in Kotka, southern Finland, to pick up a cargo of anchor chains, said Finnish Customs spokesman Petri Lounatmaa. It was bound for the Chinese port of Shanghai but there was no indication for whom the military cargo was destined. Routine checks by Finland's traffic safety authority revealed a load of up to 160 tonnes of improperly packed nitroguanidine, a low-sensitivity explosive with a high detonation speed. "Actually in our investigation at the moment, we have got the information that we found 69 Patriot missiles on the ship and around 160 tonnes of explosives," said Detective Superintendent Timo Virtanen from the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation. Interior Minister Rasanen said she had not heard of a similar case. "Of course, there are legal transports of weapons or defence material [through Finland] but in this case the cargo was marked as containing fireworks," she told Finnish media. "That is quite unusual." Mr Lounatmaa said customs officials and police had launched a joint investigation into a possible breach of Finnish export and weapons trading laws. He said that the crew of about 32 were being questioned. Patriot missiles, designed by the US company Raytheon, are supplied to "US and allied forces", according to the company's website. South Korea is among states which deploy them.

and your opinion is they could be doing a lot better if they let religious minorities come before Quebec citizens?

Quite frankly she belongs in prison, she's stolen from her own people while they live in miserable conditions

Because the problem is mismanaged money ..fix that problem and then you can fix all of the others

she made 70,000 a year for doing what exactly? did you see the conditions on that reserve? and now that a third party management is going to come in and help her shes resisting it why does she want her people to die in squalor?

which I'm sure is powering some of the NE states too right?

Well other provinces have more going for them in natural resources ..what does Quebec have? some coal mines?

Give me a break, the native leadership are the ones at fault..they give themselves lavish salaries and pork barrel while barely half of it goes to the people and infrastructure There is a reason they don't want anyone micromanaging their money...gravy train ride would be OVER but hey whatever, blame the government for everything, you do it anyway

Isn't Little Mosque a CTV show Nvm it isn't

I will always admire Quebec for the protection of their culture..hopefully other provinces join suit with them in that regard

Is it ridiculous? yes BUT there is no problem here, at least the school did not cancel music altogether ..I remember being a JW and sitting on a chair in the foyer of my school when my class or school did anything that i didn't believe in like christmas, easter, halloween, birthday parties etc ..I'd not stand up during the anthem or prayer either in the morning..schools these days cancel christmas shows and instead do a winter theme..which is weak I see nothing wrong with giving the kid headphones but that is whacked that the kids can't hear music

Aboriginal children are the poorest in the country http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2006/11/24/child-poverty.html According to the report, First Nations children face terrible daily living conditions and are more likely than other Canadian children to suffer health problems. Among the problems listed: One aboriginal child in eight is disabled, double the rate of all children in Canada. Among First Nations children, 43 per cent lack basic dental care. Overcrowding among First Nations families is double the rate of that for all Canadian families. Mould contaminates almost half of all First Nations households. Almost half of aboriginal children under 15 years old residing in urban areas live with a single parent. Close to 100 First Nations communities must boil their water. Of all off-reserve aboriginal children, 40 per cent live in poverty. Is this that Native culture that is oh so important to bleeding heart liberals? If they were treated the same as everyone else things would be a lot better because they wouldn't be reliant on their elders or the government to give them money and do things for them

I wouldn't make that call, My family is of Russian / French heritage .. I look Russian with a french last name it stands out trust me
