Big Guy

I find it ironic that we are discussing freedom of speech on a web site which greatly restricts what you may post. Should the freedom of speech include calling people who state racist views as "racists"?

So what has this got to do with Israel taking more and more Palestinian lands? Please stay on topic. Some of my friends and colleagues are of the Jewish faith - and they are also rational. All abhor the way that this Zionist government is treating the Palestinians. I agree with them.

There are now well over 1,000 British troops fighting ISIS. Not sure if they have officially declared war against ISIS but that might be a moot point. To give support and comfort to the enemy is treason. Treat it as such.

Meanwhile, Bautista may be watching the numbers on his next contract slowly going south.

Looks to me like he passed on the baton and just kept running.

They are the opposite of Progressives. Some of the antonyms to Progressive are; backward, low, lower, nonprogressive, primitive, retarded, rude, rudimentary, undeveloped Antonyms and Synonyms "Synonyms and Antonyms of progressive Synonyms - being far along in development <progressive forms of animal life> Synonyms developed, evolved, forward, high, higher, improved, late, advanced, refined Related Words precocious; full-blown, full-fledged, full-scale; aged, grown, mature, matured, perfected, ripe, ripened; civilized, educated, enhanced, enlightened; contemporary, current, cutting-edge, latest, leading-edge, mod, modern, new, newest, newfangled, new-fashioned, novel, now, present-day, recent, space-age, supermodern, ultramodern, up-to-date Near Antonyms green, immature, underdeveloped, undersized (also undersize), underweight, unripe, unripened; savage, uncivilized, uneducated; early, embryonic, germinal, primeval, primordial; antediluvian, antiquated, antique, dated, fusty, hoary, musty, Neanderthal (or Neandertal), obsolete, old, oldfangled, old-fashioned, old-time, out-of-date, outworn, passé, past Antonyms backward, low, lower, nonprogressive, primitive, retarded, rude, rudimentary, undeveloped." These look to me like accurate descriptions of the radical recessives on this board.

I am not sure Trump wants to go there. In 1968 he suffered from a mysterious illness that got him out of going to Vietnam: "Trump’s exposure to the draft, however, didn’t last long. Two months later, on Sept. 17, 1968, he reported for an armed forces physical examination and was medically disqualified, according to the ledger from his local Selective Service System draft board in Jamaica, N.Y., now in the custody of the National Archives. The ledger does not detail why Trump failed the exam — the Selective Service destroyed all medical records and individual files after the draft ended in 1973 and the military converted to an all-volunteer force."

I agree. It would only be an extension of existing practice. From what I have read, many people will purchase an SUV because it will better survive a car crash than other cars: SUV advantage Conversely, I have a neighbor who owns one of those small smart cars. He will not drive on the highway and will not allow anybody in the family to do so.

Sure you can do it here and the smart ones will take it from where it is originating. You still do not seem to understand that when you insult someone, you are saying, "what I think is that you are ...". All it is doing is revealing how you think. It says everything about you and very little about your target. When you insult anybody on this board do you really think they take you seriously? Do you think that it somehow elevates your standing here? “He who takes offense when no offense is intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense is intended is a greater fool.” ― Brigham Young Only a few fools here.

I suggest a little more research. This may help: Synonyms and antonyms

If I purchased a vehicle, then I would assume that whatever software was involved would prioritize the occupants of my car over every and any thing.

What has that got to do with the Israeli cancer spreading across Palestine and absorbing more land every day?

The Israeli cancer continues to eat up Palestinian land: Israeli Cancer: "It's a tool of the state that is doing things on the ground, and so they confront the people on the ground," Noach said. "The problem is the policy of dispossessing people with more and more manoeuvres - to relocate them, to grab their land." Shutting down Arab schools will show those Arabs. Maybe we should invade to allow those little girls to go to school? Schools Closed Time for Canada to send Israel a message and wash our hands of them!

If the USA public were kept from knowing at least a little of what was happening in Vietnam, their troops would still be there fighting the fight. It was the public that forced the hand of the administration of Johnson.

Brad Trost has thrown his hat into the ring: Announcement Looks like his policies are the same kind which got Harper kicked out Bio

Interesting, does that mean that the opposite of a Progressive is a Regressive?

Teachers in elementary schools do a lot of repeating of words and phrases. It is considered a teaching technique. But I congratulate our resident Zionist zealot. Now he claims that those who do not think like him are nuts. Big Guy was just getting comfortable with being labelled anti-Semite, Jew hater, pervert and all those other wonderful attributes - now Big Guy is just NUTS! Most people who are nuts are not responsible for their statements so I guess Big Guy has now been absolved of all those nefarious traits because he is nuts! Not sure what that has to do with the factual and verifiable events that Big Guy is posting here and are taking place where the Israeli cancer continues to spread over Palestinian land. Shame, shame, shame!!

Do you really want me to tell you what to do?

Wouldn't be a problem if all the women wore birkinis.

At our local golf course, the women get the prime 10 a.m. to 12 noon tee off times. That is totally unfair! They also hit the ball a lot more times than the men. These courses should charge by the number of strokes rather than by the game. This segregation is totally unfair and the men should be accommodated!

Shame!

You mean like this?" Dizzy

You missed the point. I said that it depends who is doing the calling. If I respected that persons opinion then I would think twice. But if that poster was a jackass, argumentative, negative and generally a pain in the ass, then I would take his name calling of me as an indicator that I was on the right side of the argument - the side I want to be on. I am fairly comfortable with my views of society. They have led me to two successful careers and the friendship and respect of some very nice people. I am pretty sure of who I am. Therefore, when someone calls me a name, that tells me more about the person than it does about me. Even on this board. There are a few posters whose criticism of me I seriously consider.

No, it is to indicate to them what track they are on. I hope that they review their attitude and compare that with the views of extremist organizations and the definition of racism. Racism is an attitude towards other races, cultures and religions. If the individual chooses to equate it to a negative personality trait or consider it an insult then that is their choice. For many years it was a badge of honor to be worn by nationalists in the Southern US.

I do not believe that the few insulting, self confessed conservatives on this site reflect the average person whose views are right of center. There are as many conservative thinkers who rejected Ford's excesses and drug use as were those of other parties. The members of the Conservative party with whom I associate are clear thinking, dedicated Canadians whose vision of a stable Canada, in many cases, is different from mine. I have observed that there are as many great Canadians in each political party as there are angry Canadians who choose to denigrate other party policies in an effort to rationalize their own. I believe we are all trying to achieve the same end but through different routes.
