I am Groot

I'm quite happy a guy whose administration murdered sixteen million people in concentration camps lost. Yes. Anyone rational would be. Stalin is dead and not troubling us anymore. You, on the other hand, are a strange and troubled individual who seems lost amid the debris of an uncontrolled internet.

Well, if I had to live in the middle east that would be the only place I'd want to go. It's the only place with honest police, an independent judicial system, and free speech. I know you hate it since it's full of Jews but that wouldn't really bother me.

I hate to interrupt this crying fest, but if we can judge from the study a Scarborough food bank made of its clientele (it operates five food banks) the problem has little to do with our economy. According to their study 95% of their clients were not born in Canada. What's more 72% have only been in Canada a year. And, of course 65% are foreign students. So here's a few ideas to deal with this. First, you start insisting on stringent economic abilities for those who want to study in Canada. They have to show they can support themselves. Second, stop letting in so many goddamn refugees. Third cut back on refugees, foreign students, foreign workers AND immigrants. Presto, housing will suddenly get a lot cheaper! https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/08/03/new-report-from-scarborough-food-bank-paints-unsettling-picture-of-food-insecurity/

That is a confusing mishmash of statements I don't think this has anything to do with dual citizenship, as such. It has to do with bringing people over and then not holding them to any kind of responsibility or behaviour. We should deport anyone who comes here as soon as they commit a criminal act. But our deportation system is broken, just like our legal system. There are numerous cases of it taking many years to deport someone as they and their government-paid lawyers try one appeal after another, deliberately stretching things out as long as possible. The cost is enormous, but no one seems to care about that. The burden is 100% on the state and 0% on the accused and convicted person. And even if everyone agrees he should be booted out I believe our policy is we don't deport people to war zones. We DID deport people to Syria, Somalia, Haiti and other such places under Harper, but I don't believe we do anymore.

Look up what Islamic law says about female witnesses. It's why rape charges are almost never pressed. A woman who charges a man with rape and has only her word against his fails because a woman's word is only worth half that of a man.

The last time I saw a poll on that, granted, it was several years ago, the children of immigrant Muslims were MORE religious than their parents. Not less.

Sure. But if the argument is "Why should you worry about bringing tens of thousands of men here who think death is the proper punishment for a whore when we have men here who like to grope them or watch them on the internet?" well, then, what can you say to such an argument but laugh in their face?

Do you think it's better when women suspected of being a slut are strangled by their families or beaten to death? Or hanged by the government?

That's all well and good, but who makes these laws? The politicians? And who elects them? Right now 80% of the population of greater Toronto and 72% of greater Vancouver are immigrants and their kids. This number is going to rise precipitously with Trudeau's big increases in immigration. More than half the population of Canada will be immigrants by about 2030. And as we've put no effort at either screening newcomers, most of whom are from the third world, or integrating them, that is going to change our overall values and what laws Canada supports. Maybe because if you invite the third world to Canada then Canada becomes more and more like the third world?

If they had the military power to do anything against us we WOULD all be in trouble. Historically, the Muslims continued to try to invade the West (and everywhere else) until they no longer had the military power to do so. All of that is hugely amplified in a religion where every country still has severe blasphemy laws (sometimes punishable by death if the accused isn't beaten to death or set on fire by a mob before they can be taken away.

Untrue. Islam does incorporate elements of both Christianity and Judaism but its views also flow from its warrior prince prophet, who was in the habit of marrying little girls and said it was fine to rape and take as a slave any woman who was an infidel. Basically, any infidel woman is fair game to any Muslim man who can grab her.

I agree. The misogyny in India is something we should be paying a lot more attention to. It's brutal, especially in terms of sexual violence. And we're bringing over a hundred and twenty thousand Indians every year - completely unscreened other than for criminal records. A friend of mine visited India last year with his family. The hotel warned him not to ever take his eyes off his teenage daughter in any crowded place, and in fact, provided (rented) a guard to accompany them when they went to places like markets. A very large guy in a turban and uniform with a club. So what is it doing for women in Canada when we bring over masses of Indians without screening? They might not mob them and grope them in public (then again they might) but are they going to hire them or promote them?

Just what kind of beliefs do you imagine a Palestinian has who has gone through their entire schooling under a curriculum designed by Hamas? A curriculum that glorifies martyrdom above all else, and preaches the need for a worldwide caliphate? You think it's just a few of them with harsh religious based values? Uhm, hanging her from a crane for adultery because she didn't have several male witnesses to back her up?

A percentage of social conservatives want to ban abortion. The majority would settle for it being regulated. You know, like it is in every other Western country from Bosnia to Finland? Go ahead and tell me Swedish women or Icelandic women have no medical rights. I dare you. Only a tiny percentage of them. Let me quote from Douglas Murray, whose article you probably didn't bother to read. Or at least to paraphrase. "People love saying they're against the pope in support of gay rights. That's all well and good, but for once I wish instead of protesting against the pope they'd give a thought to people who don't just want to stop me from marrying but want to through me off a f*cking building". And you're in favour of this, I take it?

People like you are under the illusion that the only ones who oppose your drag queen perversions and the need to explain to six year old boys that they could actually be girls are conservative Muslims. That's because the ferocity of the effort by people like you and Hardner to suppress any and all opposition has cowed many ordinary Canadians. The Muslims, being more insular, fear no 'cancellation' within their communities by saying this is dumb. But the majority of parents oppose this. The sane ones not caught up in your flaky far-left sexual fantasies.

You have to remember that Hardner is one of those people who don't WANT posts like this, or any other posts that go against his far-left social beliefs. If he had his way such posts would be immediately deleted and anyone who makes them banned. He has fallen victim to the leftist fallacy that says if you suppress any disagreement then the disagreement does not exist.

Actually, if you weren't such an uptight, priggish progressive twat, you'd see what it warned of was religious fanaticism and the behaviour traits which are tied to that. But you're too dull-witted to allow any sort of thought to penetrate your skull that even begins to suggest any given culture or people or religion might be even slightly better or more appropriate for our country than any other. The problems this country finds itself in now are because of smug progressives like you who think welcoming the world won't bring the world's problems here.

Douglas Murray, editor of the Spectator, writing in the National Review, dares to openly state the problem with bringing in large numbers of Muslims and spending no effort to weed out those with bigoted, racist or misogynistic world views. What happens is your country changes. Things which were once open become closed. Ways and styles of behaviour, things you can say and do, will be threatened or changed by angry, religious fundamentalists who, as we all know, are quite willing to resort to violence to get their way. How many? What percentage? No one knows. No one dares to ask. But to quote Brigitte Gabriel, it's not the quiet mass of people who decide on things, it's the loud, angry and determined minority. It was that way in Germany in the 1930s, and in Japan, in Russia then and now. Most want to just get on with their lives. But they're irrelevant. China is the same. Most are peaceful people. But they're irrelevant. And most estimates of the world population say up to a quarter of Muslims could be considered hard core beliefs in a world wide caliphate and an Islamic state. And the more Muslims we allow in without any screening and without any effort at integration, the higher that population will become here. https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2023/12/how-mass-immigration-makes-antisemitism-worse/

Forgot how to counter anything they say, too. Dude, if you just know nothing whatever about the Ottoman Empire or how Israel was created, then just don't talk about it. How hard is that?

If you don't count the revolts which were put down with incredible bloodshed and slaughter. Or the bloodshed and slaughter done by the Turks because they merely suspected the loyalty of various groups, especially Christians. It's not surprising there's peace in North Korea given anyone who objects to anything gets killed. What did you want them to do? And btw, it was the UN that created Israel, not the Brits. If you don't think there were anti-Jewish pograms throughout the history of the middle east you really aren't conversant with the history there.

Uh, no it certainly does not. Let's admit that 90%+ of antisemitic incidents are from Muslim immigrants.

It's all a massive, bloody waste of time and money anyway. The world will NEVER get near being carbon neutral, and neither will we. Not, at least, unless we beggar ourselves to do it, or fusion power gets up and running. The cost is too great. The technological issues are too hard to surmount. People will have a revolution if you try. If you really believe it's possible, or if you think the world is going to burn up, watch a simple presentation by Bjorn Lomborg. They guy is reasonable, smart, and while admitting to global warming and pointing out things we have to solve points out the ridiculous cost and impossibility of present government policies.

I oppose the settlements in West Bank. I think it's stupid, and wasteful in that any real solution will require Israel to remove them all. But the settlements didn't start the Intifadas - prior to which 40% of Palestinians worked in Israel. And let's not think that was in any way behind what Hamas was doing when it sent its savages across the border. And also let's not pretend that if all the settlements were removed and the West Bank and Gaza were given their unconditional independence the first thing they wouldn't do would be acquiring as many heavy weapons as possible while organizing to attack Israel. Nor that even if they didn't, they would be any more free than Syria or Iran, or any more prosperous than Yemen.

Nobody gives a shit about Palestinians. Do you see people out in the streets for the hundreds of thousands of people who have died so far in Yemen, and are still dying? Why not? How about the hundreds of thousands who died in Syria and are still dying? Nobody cares. If the Palestinians were being bombarded by Syrians or Iraqis or Jordanians the world would yawn. It's the Jews that are bringing out the anger. The great majority of those demonstrators are Muslims. And they hate Jews.

That's pretty simplistic. I'm sure Hamas leaders would be willing to shake the hands of an Israeli PM to get full independence too. Then they'd immediately start building up the largest army they could and then attack Israel and kill as many Jews as they could.
