Note black dog I did cite our smaller population. No enemies are you that blind? Ok lets assume we have no enemies we do have allies and they do have enemies and as a allie we should support them, shouldnt we? Canada is in a position to be a deterrent through our peace keeping missions abroad, please tell me you dont think that has a positive imapct. I was trying to point out that we should learn from what happens to others not just ourselves.

See we are alaway's celebrating the Politician who claims he will give a tax cut to the Canadian people, but what if he simply allocated the use of the tax better? into area's such as the debt? yet we as canadian's are fickle wouldnt we just vote him out for the next politician who decides to give us one? what if we used some of this tax cut to funding post secondary education? wouldnt that be better?

I think that a politician should join that party that reprsents his/her beliefs as closely as possible, and that he should vote with that company on all matters with only one exception if there is a EXTREME moral obligation by the politician to vote against his party. not like well I think that the speed limit should be higher, it would have to be something very significant. Plus it should be the responsibility of the people to know that the politician does have his own beliefs and moral systems to follow to do any less is ludricous, because politicians are not god's they are not angels they are humans and as such they do make mistakes and they have their own opinion's to stand up for. Any Politician who does not do as much makes me sad but we have forced them to it.

So what I have gathered from this post is, you have to have your child, freind, relative, or country men killed before you will take action? The reason we have an army if for preventive action.Really you should press for the inmediate disbandment of our entire army then when we get invaded we can quickly draft one up right? "From the earlier Link" Rank Country Amount (top to bottom) #1 United States $276,700,000,000.00 #17 Canada $7,861,000,000.00 Now Canada is bigger than the U.S land wise...shouldnt we have to pay more to defend more land? but we do have significantly less citizens so there should be a happy median, personally I would press for a double on our spendings not on recruits or anyhting " recruit only what we need" ,but on our weaponry those submarines were a very idiotic idea. Let the running of the military be done by militant's who else knows there needs except those in need ? Laelius

It is really sad how people have to hide nowaday's from there own country men, but i guess some people are a little off the rocker. The stalking, murders and rapes that go on nowadays does make one paranoid, maybe it is the media's intention to whatever ends, but it is sad. <--open for discussion to

dangerous people never i will heed you advice... and how about yourself eureka

oh changing the topic here could you all introduce yourselves, the party you represent if any etc so i can get a feel for this community quicker you all seem like great people and im looking forward to engaging in more conversation's in the future.

is absolutely ridiculous. It isn't like smoking pot changes your native language. Besides dude would probably be hungry and would possibly have the giggles! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> really i can chalk up about 8 people who i know who have phoned my house wanting to see if i wished to go out drinking speaking like that one being my own brother. Now a fair amount of pot does have people talking like that, maybe not off a couple puffs but it is not unknown at parties you usually have 3-4 people who end up like that right? Now I do not smoke weed myself because i see noe sense in wrecking my lungs but this is just what i have observed.

How much of there revenue is pot? how much is cocaine? heroin? and the other hard drugs...should we legalize them too to stop money flowing into a illegal gang?Do you think that legalizing Marijuana would stop them wouldnt they just open up the bussiness themselves sinc ethey already have everything for it? now they are doing it legitametly now we cannot touch that money so...that solved what? Prohibition was a bad idea you just cant ban something outright you have to phase it out, which can probably be done. See sure we can introduce measure's to test doctors but why the hassle lets just keep the bad drugs bad, and another point "hey dad, man im like, wow, dude? been you how? bed im going to dad." sorry if that is a cheap shot but i think it convey's my point, I could barely handle my kid coming home drunk, but high I think it would snap me. Side note im not a dad im just speaking hypothetically.

ahh mate im so sorry i misunderstood you. I went back and re-read and now i have your point. I have known people who have used it as the stepping stone it is said to be and I believe that fully. I believe that alcohol should be highly monitored if you are going to use like daily limits, and lets bring cigarette's in they should just leave, but cigars should have limits though. Do not get me wrong I like a beer here and there and a cigar at a buds wedding or a friends birthday but no more than that, because it will get out of hand quick.

there are more reason's but you are not in my confidence to know. sory shoop this one will have to suffice for now and any drug that can do that to a person is not something to be taking lightly what else does it do? and why? how? what are the long term reprecussion's of using this drug? and banning celine dion i wonder if we could pull that off...

Allright 14 year olds can have sex with other 14 year olds but not with say 19-20 yr olds, a 2-3 year stretch at that age is max 3 years is even stretching it by my moral's. Marijuana should not be legalized because,it affects the human mind far to severly a freind of mine had his girl friend crying on the way back to her house because she smoked weed and she was feeling the effects very very negativetly.Thgis may not seem like much to you but it is enough for me, I could mention statistics on health problems etc but that isnt personal to me and is irrelevant i feel if it doenst hit home it doesnt have to be said. Same sex marriages yes i am religious and there are males and females for a reason. Everyone can have there own opinion and that is fair, is it not . The enviroment is being destroyed at a far greater pace than it is regenerationg itself, and the human population is constantly increasing so in 30 yrs what will be left. On a last note I am not a part of the conservatives although I have been told I should Look into it because my beliefs and morals are fairly paralell with theirs I am told.

Family tree's should ultimately stay the same except for one modification stating that the child was adopted. I forsee no problem in allowing Homosexuals to have a family tree and on the family tree state they are the same sex. But once they decide they think it is allright for two people of the same sex to adopt a child and claim it as their own "genetically" that is wrong and worse for the childs upbringing and could potentially lead to psychological problems, stemming from when they go to family education in school or peers or even a rough handed teacher.

I have read over a few threads in the past couple days here and well instead of constantly lurking I figured I would like to Introduce myself I am Leroy Clingwall, born in kamloops raised in Salmon Arm. Oh and for the guy who wanted fresh thinking mine will have to suffice. my views on some topics. -Marijuana should not be legalized. -Same sex marriages shouldn't be legal -We do need to place some reforms for our future "enviroment" -14 yr's is to young to be having sex. If you wish to know anything else ask, I will be more than happy to reply.
