This is nice. Another one who calls anybody who disagrees with them racist. I really havn't commented on the actual issue. I could care less. I just don't like how people are dealing with the issue. I mostly refer to Argus when I say racist. Read his posts and tell me's hes not racist, but concerned for safety. He was calling all Sikhs "goat herding terrorists", who if you merely lived by them you were just as bad as the worst bomber for not driving them away. Among other comments. But really, in a debate about freedom of minorities, if one who disagrees with me does so by attempting to abolish all other cultures in Canada, I guess that would make them racist. Funny how that works out sometimes. Incidentally, way to completely ignore all the comments in my post that wasn't an insult.

Nope, just stopping the public from carrying weapons around in cities. You really are ignorant if you believe that people like us that are just concerned for children's safety are the same as those found in the KKK. Well then, feel free to post all the Canadian kirpan related injuries/deaths that have occured thusfar. What's that? There are none? But there might be in the future? 'cause they belong to the same religion as some terrorists? And knives, even ones blatantly displayed in a sheath, and therefore less dangerous then the concealed knifes people carry around in many schools- could feasibly hurt a child? We should also ban chemistry from schools! I heard some of those things can be hazardous to our children! And violent movies and videogames, because if a child sees them, they will be warped into a killer. And pens! Those things can sting pretty badly if you get poked in the eye. Children's safety is a fine smokescreen if you want to improve education and healthcare or something meaningful instead of squabbling about knifes. But don't use it as a facade for racial hatred.

Argus make good points, youon the otherhand lack common sense, this is a debate about the Kirpan not about peoples debating skills. Canada would have a culture but it is diluted with foreigners coming in telling us what their going to do and when they are going to do it. Soon we will be a country just like these foreigners came from where Canada is divied and we blow eachother to threads. What good points were those? I must have missed them among all the racist slurs. And as far as your comments on culture....I suppose if you lived 100 years ago you'd be banning oriental immigrants and burning crosses to protect your 'canadian ideals' wouldn't you.

Tsk. This is such an odd thread. The argument seems to consist of plenty of hate based straw man fallacies. Argus- You just seem to be making up stuff and crediting it your oponent. How could you look at a sentence saying how immigrants enrich Canada, and warp it into some vaguely homesexual insult? subconcius tendencies perhaps. If it really bothers you that the supreme court might not let you take a gun to school, why not actually try it instead of just posturing about it? And generalizations are just bad form. You honestly believe all Sikhs are goat herding terrorists? I think your hate hinders your debating skill. --- I don't know why you all seem outraged that someone can bring an ornamental knife to school. If someone is stabbed by a kirpan, rejoice, because then you can seize the oppurtunity to abolish the religion you hate. If the highly more likely happens, and all is uneventful, why would you even care. It's not as if Canada has much of a culture to be diluted anyway.

Don't listen to Politcika. Nothing he says is true, hes an Alberta seperatist, and he burns flags. His historical hero was Hitler and he wants statues of him >_> He demanded I come to back up his flawed opinions, so I say the abover information, noone would attack Canada, Canada has winter on it's side, and that the end of it.
