  1. Insult, followed by a lie. Nice touch. Followed by something fishy... Those of you who are long time pros of this and other forums, I have something kind of suspicious. Could you please analyze this link, the first post of another forum and compare it word for word to the first post of this thread, done by Gerryhatrick. It's pretty much word for word the same. Do we have a double poster here or what? In fact, if you go to the index of the Politics Topic on the other forum, you'll see that proudpegger started three threads that have the same title as three started here by, you guessed it, Gerryhatrick. For shame, Gerry!
  2. No Gerry, I didn't laugh at it being in only 2 or 5 or whatever theatres, I laughed because Gore was in it, that washed up politician who never saw a tree he didn't want to hug. Even though it's the fifth highest grossing "documentary", $12 million is still only $12 million. I have to admit it was a good selling job by Gore and no doubt backed by clubs such as the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, spreading their gospel, but at the end of the day it doesn't look like this movie got any traction with the mainstream. And when you're selling junk science, the truth will indeed eventually come out.
  3. At any rate, here on July the 2nd, about 5 weeks in, Truth has done a paltry $12.3 million. Doesn't look like it's going to do anything but dash hopes. Hopefully, Hollywood will quit getting on their soap box and get back to entertainment, or as Laura Ingraham says,"Shut up and act!".
  4. Very sad - a 40 something man screwing around on his wife with a 14 year old who has "led him on" and then got mad at him and pressed charges. Give me a break, a 40 something man who screws around with a 14 year old is a pedophile. They choose girls that age for that reason and because children are easily manipulated and bullied and controlled.You suggest we should have sympathy for such a person? IMO He should do jail time. I want to see more teeth in the law to deal with EXACTLY this 40 something male and others like him, including, and I cant state this more empathically - child prostitution. I want the teeth to sink into the johns and the pimps ... :angry: I also want the police to be able to pick up a runaway and take them some place safe, most of them belong at home and ran away because they didnt want to make their beds and do the dishes - yes some ARE abused but the greatest number just dont want to follow their parents rules and curfews -- Since you quoted my phrase, I assume you are directing at least part of your comments to me. You're preaching to the choir, pal. But I still say that a 14 yr old who charges sexual assault when none has occured is evil.
  5. I don't know about shoop but MB made some (now-deleted) posts threatening to shoot aboriginal people. The post was pretty vile and I can see why it would be an immediate banning offense. thanks I know he could be over the top a little, but that doesn't sound like him. Maybe he was drunk or something.
  6. If schools were to teach about all religions, and athiesm as well, equally and without value judgments attached, it would be equivalent to what the gay rights agenda is about. No one religion (or sexual orientation) should be given higher standing or more credence than another. I agree with you that teaching about all religions might reduce prejudice; social studies classes can do this. The point is not to endorse one religion more than another. When a nation was founded on freedom to practice Christianity, it is strange to see them now where many believe they should not endorse one religion over another. Most Muslim nations have managed to hang onto their religous heritage, why must the U.S. let go of theirs? There was a time when the words, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country", were words to live by. Now Americans are reduced to asking their country to remove this picture and that symbol and those protestors. Protect me from religion, from a people whose money says,"in God we Trust". I look with interest to see what the U.S. will become in 20 years.
  7. I don't know about you, but I'm looking at the definition of separation of church and state. That wording has been in their constitution from day one. It was only in 1963 that prayer was removed from schools. And now the definition has changed to a point where any religious symbol could find the ire of people like the ACLU, while most folks in the U.S. are not upset by it. Why has the definition changed so radically? What were the intentions of the original authors of the constitution? History tells us most of them were indeed Christians. In fact, they moved away from England and started a new country all for religious freedom, and these words were intended to keep the state from interfering with organized religion, something that England had been doing with a heavy hand. That's why prayer in school had been allowed for close to 100 years. I think only people who feel threatened by religion would care if a picture of Jesus was on the wall. I mentioned earlier that the result of removing all trace of religion from education only sets students up to fear or hate what they don't understand, something that has been recognized about homosexuality. If teaching about the gay lifestyle is a strategy to reduce homophobia, then removing all 'religious' symbols will do the reverse. Here's a link to show how far the ACLU will go. The city of Angels can no longer have even the smallest symbol. No doubt, next up is the actual name, and many ACLU lawyers will get rich beyond measure, for California is teaming with cities that have religious meaning to their names.
  8. She is 'our' Queen. Constitutaionally speaking she is the Queen of Canada. The fact that she is also the Queen of England is a co-incidence. I thought she was no longer our queen. Perhaps I was mistaken. The school in question is not endorsing anything, but they are being politically incorrect, a sin worse than most in the eyes of the ACLU. If we continue down this road of banning anything that is objected to, how far away are we from book burnings? And who decides what has artistic merit, the ACLU? Education is the process by which young ones learn. To shelter them from any explanation or exposure to religions is to give them at best an incomplete education, and at worst set them up to fear or hate what they don't understand - religion. The whole Gay culture is being introduced and explained in the school systmem in a hope to avoid this very thing.
  9. Uh, not all Canadians feel the need to have a burst of nationalism on this day. I'm a Canadian 365 days a year, and I don't need to get all national on this day. Actually I get emotional on Remembrance Day, what with all who gave their lives for us so we could live in peace and freedom, that's more of a Canada day to me.
  10. Here's a link that shows the ACLU sticking their noses into where it doesn't belong once again. A portrait of Jesus hangs in the hall of this high school in West Virginia. It's been there for over 30 years, and the ACLU is suing. They think the picture shouldn't be there, and are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars to do more legal arm twisting to have it removed. The ACLU thinks that having the picture there infers that the school has Christianity as its official religion. Maybe if they had a number of religious pictures, but just one? Further, aren't schools supposed to be the place where a free exchange of ideas takes place? No one saw the harm for 30 years. In Canada, we often have a portrait of the Queen up, but that doesn't mean the school is suggesting she is OUR queen since she's England's queen. Only fearful small minded people get bent out of shape over her portrait. At the end of the article you find out who exactly has their knickers in a twist. Two parents who don't want their children to so much as even see a picture of Jesus. What sheltered lives these kids must lead.
  11. I'm afraid I can't make the jump from squeeqie kid problems to groups burning SUV dealerships. Destroying property is the same mentality that blowing up property is from. Dangerous and stupid.
  12. Poor old guy, he shouldn't be held responsible for the emotional upheaval his relationship brings to a 14 year old. After all, she's still going through puberty, and you know how irrational young teenagers can be at this time - thats not his fault, now, is it? And what's with his wife leaving him? He has his needs, you know, and she should be more supportive of that, not judging him all the time. No wonder he's suicidal, all these women conspire against him. I think you miss my point Melanie. I am arguing for the new age of consent law, to protect from sad stories like this. My point being again that 14 year olds are too stupid to realize they are being used when they get into a relationship with a man in his 30s or whatever. They therefore need to be protected from these men and their own brains. The background of his marriage ending or him becoming suicidal was not to get alert readers to empathize, it was just window dressing. Any older man who preys on 14 year olds deserves what he gets. I thought that since I was arguing in support of the new law, this would be self evident. However, an innocent family that gets ripped apart because a 14 year old accuses sexual assault when none has occurred is ripped apart for nothing, and the 14 yr old is evil.
  13. Gerry, you need to get your knickers out of that twist they are in. Other than that, I don't feel like commenting on the topic since there are three of them going at once.
  14. I did comment on this thread in post 18, and we all know how you feel about it since you keep repeating yourself ad nauseam. Let me know when there's an actual scandal.
  15. While we're quoting rules: NO TROLLING/FLAMING Do not post inflammatory remarks just to annoy people. If you are not bringing anything new to the argument, then do not say anything at all. I've posted one thread today, and as I've pointed out it's unrelated to yesterdays thread. You have a problem with that newb then hit the report button. Yes, well this is the third thread started on the same topic within a few days. Sound familar Gerry? Think back to last week. Think about some threads you started on Global Warming. Four in a week to be exact. This link here might remind you of Gary's thoughts on the subject.
  16. Please consider these comments. You are saying if a 14 year old starts a sexual relationship with a 20 year old and part way through, starts to feel she is being taken advantage of, she could press charges. That is scary for so many reasons: 1)Her feelings WILL run the gamit throughout the 'relationship'. 14 year olds don't understand their feelings, the relationship, his feelings or anything else because they have the brains of a 14 year old, a huge disadvantage. 2)To base whether or not to press charges on a 14 year old's feelings is silly. They can easily be talked into feeling anything. This is why so many older men get charged for some kind of sexual trespass only to find out later it was because she was mad at him. Meanwhile, he's become a laughing stock and his wife left him and he becomes suicidal, all over a 14 year old's feelings. 3)14 year olds can easily be taken advantage of, and this new law recognizes that, and it's purpose would be to protect them from themselves, and from those who prey on them.
  17. He took personal responsibility for dealing with it. In the end, all Liberal cabinet ministers were determined by Gomery to be free from blame or responsibility, and Paul Martin in particular was "exonerated for any blame for carelessness or misconduct". So, whatever. In the end, the Canadian people MADE the Lieberals pay for Adscam. Martin at first tried telling us it happened before he became PM and as Finance Minister he wasn't privy to what was going on. That went over like a Liberal leadership convention, so he 'took' responsibility as a grasp at straws. It didn't work either.
  18. You cannot say the US has done nothing wrong simply because terrorists do worse. It is wrong for the terrorists to kill innocent people _and_ it is wrong for the US to imprison people without due process. What if they are P.O.W.s? I can't get away from that. I think they are, and the Americans have done nothing wrong to imprison them.
  19. contrast with: We are currently emerging from this Little Ice Age. Temperatures started to rise about 1850 and rose fairly steadily until about 1945, when they began to drop again until about 1975 when they started to rise again. I personally remember articles in Time Magazine around the time of my High School graduation discussing this idea, back in 1975. This is not just some internet crank reminding us of the throught of stopping global cooling by blacking the ice caps. I'd never heard of this spreading of carbon black on the ice. But I know we are in a warming trend, and I can't wait for a cooling trend to make the Global 'sky is falling' Warmers quiet. Like I've said before, I guess even they need their hobbies.
  20. I notice a common theme in your posts. It's the same theme that Harper is employing, which is to deflect responsibility away to another time and place. Paul Martin took responsibility for adscam. So what? That was then, this is now. Harper can't take responsibility, obviously. Not only will he not take responsibility, he's trying to claim all is well AND he's moaning about the Liberals. What pathetic, childish behaviour. I notice a theme in your posts gerry. You hate Harper and the CPC, and the horse they rode in on. But you're going to need patience, because the CPC ain't done nothing yet that warrents outrage. But maybe you could practice your outrage in the hope of one day actually having an outragous situation to be outraged about. Until then, keep your hopes up.
  21. Oh look, sour grapes from a troll. How nice. Hah! funny thing hearing troll from one who started this, a troll thread. Come on: waaaaahhhhh, waaaahhhh? At least use some creativity in your trolling.
  22. Look everyone, this is just simple accounting crap. They didn't declare some funds as they should have, and now they will pay whatever it is decided they owe. To compare this to Liberal thieving is delusional. If this is the worst opponents of the CPC can come up with, there's a Tory majority coming.
  23. Ever wonder how many sccops the NYT has that are damaging to al-Qaeda? How about some of the extremist Muslims or what gets preached in some Mosques. You know, actual footage, grainy and shaky video because it's a mini cam inserted in some head gear. Of course it'll never happen, the NYT has a jihad going against their own government. How about a Supreme Court decision slapping a muzzle on the criminal activities of junk journalism. We can always hope.
  24. The title of this thread is inaccurate to say the least. It's just that the MSM is not allowing voices in the scientific community to be heard, since with their bias, these opposing scientists must be wrong. In this link, many scientists who disagreed with Gore's movie were ignored while those who had an analysis approved by the AP got to speak! And they wonder why more and more don't trust the Main Stream Media.
  25. I am not making this up: with songs of delusion praising suicide bombing and Holy war, these 'artists' are showing how far down the road of extremism some have gone. Have a look. If this doesn't illustrate that Muslim extremists can't be reasoned with, I don't know what would.
