No, that doesn't count. Taking a mere doll and giving it cigarette burns in specific places is beyond weird. Ah, Bubber, I see Coulter has gotten under your skin as well. Time to chill out dude. Get the paper, make a crutch and smoke your angst away!.

I love it when these whiny celebrities get challenged by someone who isn't just throwing softball questions at them. Usually they are able to isolate themselves from the fray. Good on Sean to get through to that twit.

Yeah, kinda the same except the righties you mentioned don't BURN DOLL EFFIGIES OF PEOPLE THEY DON'T LIKE!!

No, the question is whether the Liberal campaign strategists can beat the Tory campaign strategists in this climate of Liberal scandals. Uh, Warwick, gays are not a race the last time I checked. I agree with your thoughts on Brison's chances, however.

Okay Gerry, you keep riding this pony and see where it gets you in six months!LOL

Fair enough FTA lawyer, I suppose revealing some of what child porn has become in the hope of helping Argus and others to understand its depravity is a worthy goal. I was somewhat shocked at the time, but it has only strengthened my convictions in this matter. I still bemoan the fact that these crimes get so little in the way of punishment. I hope this case sets a new trend.

According to your link Penn's anger at Penn is personal, not political. It is really facinating watching all you Bushies sitting around swaping 'dumb leftie' stories. Reminds me of a group of Canadians swaping 'dumb american' stories. In both cases, the stories say more about the tellers than the subject. Well I'll be happy to entertain you if that's all it takes! Sean Penn is considered a hero by the left. For him to get so bent out of shape so as to burn a doll with cigarettes over criticism by Coulter reveals much about him if you care to analyze. He is not a 'dumb lefty'. If that's all you get out of it you are missing the point.

It hardly made a blip in our MSM, who are loathe to report a story that supports Jews or exposes anti-Semitism. Of course if it had been widely reported, this forum would have been full of doubting posts claiming a Jewish conspiracy to garner sympathy.

Pot really is the widespread drug, it is the drug of choice, the drug people use...there clearly is a demand for pot and no legal means to fullfill this demand. In a case like this it has allowed for gangs to pop and supply people with pot, not only is it the drug of choice, but I belive gangs with out pot to sell are like a government with out the ability to collect taxes. Keeping Pot illegal, keep sgangs running at full tilt, pot is their source of funding, I think you would find that you would severly hurt gangs if they lost this source of funding. Law Enforcement Agencies also spend alot of time and resources combating these gangs, and combating grow ops. As well Firemen and electrical workers are often brought in when gorw op's go bad. So I belive there is money to be saved there. Then there is money to be earned, unofficially Marijuana is one of B.C's biggest industries an industry the B.C government gets no money from, by legalising Marijuana the B.C government gets a piece of the pot. More money to fund more services. I don't know how to measure the health costs of pot, I really don't know what they are, but whatever they are under prohibition we are already covering the tab for whatever the health problems may be with out recieving any of the obvious monetary benifiets, or recieving the benifiets of being able to allocate police resources better to combat other crimes. I do belive that in the end there are a number of benifiets to be seen in legalising Pot. Not neccasarily because pot can cure every disease ont eh face of the earth, but because we invest so much loose so much, and forfiet so much in a war against a drug that is relatively speaking, harmless. This argument is missing one element: there is no deterent for growing or using it. In Canada the justice system(read: judges) nod and wink at grow op opertors, giving them rarely any jail time. Users get nothing. When the Tories get more prisons built and force manditory sentences for grow operators and dealers, then people will change their behaviour. Simple as that.

FTA lawyer, as someone who has occasionally scanned this thread, part of me can't help but wonder at why you bother to go to such lengths when it seems to be an exercise in futility. You could move the sun and moon for Argus and he still would want to defend child porn. I guess as a lawyer you have more stamina for this than I. I wish I hadn't read those descriptions of child porn in your last post. They are disgusting beyond words and have no place on this forum. I feel sick and would ask that you fellows not include such rubbish in your posts.

Of course, some lefties can't hide their contempt, but Sean Penn has again revealed that the Left is far more capable of unbalanced behavior: he has an Anne Coulter doll that he burns with his cigarettes. I am not making this up. What is it with Lefties and dolls? Remember Parish and her Bush stomping moment? LOL! http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mn...doll_27_03_2006

That's the best you could do Bubber? Weak argument and smiley faces? Pay them no mind Bestie. They obviously prefer the loose cannons of the old Liberal government, shooting their mouths off at the Americans. And Gerry, the media SHOULD be the vehicle for accountability, but when they saw little wrong with the Liberals all those years, something smells. When Belinda crossed over, they didn't breathlessly report every little strategy that the recall Belinda people were doing in her riding. In Vancouver, they have been doing that for an entire month now. And the first thing they did when a ferry sunk off the B.C. coast was blame the Liberal gov(actually a conservative gov that the media and unions here detest) . That and other ferries of its vintage have been sailing under all kinds of governments for 40 years, but they blame Gordon Campbell, never a word about over half a billion the NDP under Clark misspent on so called 'fast cat' ferries that had to be retired after 2 years or so. Anyway, with a media like this, it's no wonder Harper wants to be cautious. The media would love to report embarrassing things about the Tories. Love it.

That's the point KK, the November elections are nearing and the proverbial sh#t is poised in front of the proverbial fan. You're saying that because the AG hasn't drawn up an indictment that means Bush didn't act illegaly? Is that seriously your point? we're talking about impeachment. If those proceedings begin, the illegality will be established. The argument by the AG to protect his President thus far is that the Constitution allowed Bush to step outside of lesser laws. We'll see if that holds up. Yes indeed, election season is nearing and as usual, the Dems are trying to gain ground by any means possible. Truth has nothing to do with it when power is at stake.

Uh, this is kind of old news. There's been impeachment talk since before Christmas, mostly by bitter lefties who can't stand a conservative president or want tit for tat retribution on Clinton's attempted impeachment. Now only if they could get actual impeachable activities. Having a war isn't. Having a war based on data that later turns out to be inaccurate isn't.

Yah Jerry I read about this story as well. I'm getting tired of hearing MSM types claiming they are objective in their reporting when they can barely contain their disdain for conservatives. This is why ratings are down year after year. Your average citizen is tired of it too and we are getting our news and info from other sources.

Hmm two wordy responses in a row, someone sounds a little defensive! Why is it whenever pot is brought up in a negative light, pot defenders come out with diatribes on alchohol, like that makes it right. If they're doing it, I get mine. If both users are damaging themselves, how is smoking pot justifiable? It's just a defence mechanism to make you feel better about the brain cells you are killing. Bubber, there's no way you can quantify your brain power before and after you started using, all I can say is you could have been a genius instead of an editor.

Argus, you have waaay too much knowledge of child porn. Just an observation. And on top of it, you've made yourself a defender of sorts of this wackjob cousin of the porn 'family'. Most child porn is 30 years old? On what basis can you make that claim? Do you study child porn? At any rate, this thread was about the child porn ring in Edmonton where the nutjob pervert was raping an 18 month old baby for web viewers. This disease needs to be surgically removed from our society. If a few toes have to be stepped on, so be it.

Wow, I'm surprised thelonius, that you read anything from Mark Steyn!! Yes we shouldn't copy another story, but Jerry used quotation marks, and referred to the story he was reading. Anyway, the point remains, if this guy was wearing a collar(priest) he would have been spashed all over the front pages, since it's another guy with Mohammad in his name, he gets the benefit of the doubt, even though he admits he wanted to hit as many bodies as he could.

Still waiting for gerryhatrick to weigh in on this bit of news with his usual love in attitude for Harper...

Yes it is that easy. We are talking about what the bible teaches on murder vs what the Koran teaches. You, nocrap, are not. However, to address your point, Bush is not promising a special reward in Heaven(like 72 virgins) for those who kill infidels. Muslim leaders are. Bush and the U.S. government are not in Iraq to kill non christians or force Christianity on the Iraqi population. They are there because they believe Iraq was a major base for terrorism in the world. If they are right or wrong, that is not the point here. Only that they are not over there promising U.S. citizens 72 vigins in Heaven if they kill infidels.

Four drinks a week for ten years will not damage your health. Four joints a week for ten years will. So, no, I don't think we should make booze illegal.

The main reason the MSM is pretty much silent on this is they are still busy digging and researching to discredit as much of this stuff as they can. Since these documents support Bush, the MSM will move heaven and earth to put a negative spin on it. Have patience Monty, they will soon finish their work and the propaganda machine will swing into action.

No, you should simply compare the actions of followers of the Muslim faith regarding murder in comparison with actions of Christians in regards to murder. Apparently you are unable to do that. Why don't you bring up Sampson, Saul, Jacob, Isau, and dozens of others. The bible is full of people who made mistakes and screwed up. It still doesn't change the bible's teaching on murder vs the Koran, whether you know it or not.

The really blatent anti-Americanism started when the US invaded Iraq - I noticed a disturbing change in the public discourse around that time. The same thing happened in almost every democratic country in the world which suggests the change was not caused by something unique to Canada. This is exactly the change I noticed around the time the Iraq war started. I agree that being hostile towards an entire country because of the actions of a near lunatic chief executive is not called for. However, Americans should ask themselves, if their foriegn policy can provoke such a reaction in a culturally similar country like Canada then it is should not be surpising how people react in the Islamic world. I noticed blatant anti-Americanism when 9/11 happened. Plenty of Canadians and others were saying the U.S. had it coming instead of being sympathetic to a friend in a time of need.

I live and work in B.C. and in the last 2 months I've had 3 companies contact me wondering if I'd like to work for them. The economy in B.C. is humming, I don't need the Fraser Institute to tell me that. Look up any stats from Stats Canada or elsewhere, western Canada is outpacing the east. I know it's good news, but you don't have to choke on it just because it's from the Fraser Institute.
