With me, it's not about the Saudis leaving. It's about the economic impact that this undiplomatic tweet had caused us. The amount may not be that much.....but hey, it all adds up! The tuition revenues aren't the only thing that would be affected. As an economic expert has said, it's hard to put a dollar figure on it. These students shop! They live their life here - they spend money here! And that's just the students we're talking about.

Holy guacamole, get a grip, Gosthacked! So what if we complain about Islam? If you review threads and status updates, the complaints are more about open borders (taking in so many), and the special privilege that Trudeau bestows on Muslims. It's not secret either that terrorists are mostly by Islamic jihadists - and they'd inspired others (including the mentally unstable), to use the same tactics. Heck, we complain even more about Trudeau! Do we tell Trudeau to try his dictatorial luck in an unchartered island somewhere? Looks like you and Wilber seem to lump all Muslims together - like as if they're all like their leaders!

Are you saying all Muslims are bad people - just like their leaders?

Yep. I'll remember that you're not a Christian. But that's not what the discussion is about, is it? "I don't think he exists.....but I don't really know that." You can't do without this explanation. It just has to tag behind your claim - like the cart to your horse. They come together. You are agnostic. You only think you're atheist. The confused one........that's how I'll always remember you.

Who?

Notice how they crucify him now.....for stating just the obvious. For almost a decade now, some of us here have been saying that multi-culturalism isn't going to work. People tend to group together. We have to have immigrants who see no problem or conflict integrating into Canadian society, and embracing Canadian values. Progresssives want to point out that Canada was built up by immigrants. Yes, that's true. But, immigrants from where??? I hope Canadians wake up.

.....unless he start wearing a burqua!

Believe what you want. I ain't buying it though.

Of course you won't see it. Because you don't understand what you read! Here, you've earned the large font again! Just look how you understood that. And you're so incensed by this! I hope you never get into any fight over what you read! Before you react to what you read - always, get a second opinion! But, never Gosthacked's opinion! You make my day!

Look who's talking! You're the one who has to take a break from forums - and learn how to read........... and comprehend! Give us a break, too! Look up READING and COMPREHENSION. That's an old subject back when I was still in elementary school. We're given a paragraph or a chapter to read within an alloted time - reading fast - and then we summarise how we understood it! I guess they don't do that anymore. So it's like talking to a brick wall with a lot of you folks.

Yes it is. Funny you quoted me. Read that quote again. Now, read his response. You and Marcus, and the other poster doesn't only have comprehension issues - you've got major comprehension problems! Go attend a workshop or sumthin. You need help.

The reason he's criticizing Saudi is because of ........Muslims. Notice how he gave China a pass with 4 - count them, 4 Canadians jailed in China Could it be because not one of them is a Muslim? https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/chrystia-freeland-decries-plight-of-canadians-jailed-in-china/article37170212/ Did anyone catch a tweet demanding China to free them immediately?? I didn't.

EHHHH? Are you hallucinating???? No, shame on you.........for not understanding what you read. You and I aren't going to move on unless we settle this. Where did I say that? Cite.

Free speech. Yep.....we've got the right to say it. Freedom of speech. But, don't be surprised by consequences. I should be the one making that statement to you. Dictatorship is awful - no matter what stripe it is. Letting and supporting anyone chip away at freedom, is a good way to lose it eventually. Now's the time to say it loud and clear to Trudeau: What "standing up for human rights" are you on about? You're a violator too! Hypocrite!"

But you're arguing about the terms - theism, atheism and agnosticism. These terms pertains to God/gods.

Your baseless opinion is worth nothing. Read my lips: atheism hasn't got any legs to stand on! NADA. I gave you a very simple explanation. It's up to you if you insist to be obtuse.

Irrelevant! FOCUS. Do you know the definition of theism, atheism and agnosticism??? They pertain to God/gods!

Forget the Jesus stories for a while. Do you believe God exists?

I don't have the time to explain to you - review the exchanges on this thread. Coming on board swinging without knowing what's what, is ignorant. That's the easiest and fastest way to sink to the irrelevancy bottom of ANY board. Cheers.

They don't refer to belief in gods, therefore, they're irrelevant. That's a good evidence though........... showing you're confused.

No, it's not the same at all Mine is stated with confidence - because I've got evidences to support my claim. An atheist does not have anything to support his - in fact, his statement goes against science (the authority that he claims to rely on), by making a definitive proclamation - thus his attitude smacks simply of arrogance. Like saying, "That's the truth because I say it is!" See the big difference?

Gosthacked gives lopsided rationale the same way you do. Arguing with Gosthacked is like arguing with you. Both of you struggle with getting it. You two would make a perfect couple.

At least, you admit that Trudeau has been violating human rights. That's good.....a step in the right direction. But, you're still struggling with the principle. Boy, this is like pulling teeth...... Even if Trudeau has been suppressing freedom for only a month - he's still a violator of human rights. You seem to be having a hard time getting this. Here's the analogy again: if Trudeau has been stealing for only a week, and the Saudis have been thieving for decades - Trudeau is still a thief. He still has no business condemning the Saudis for stealing (and telling them to stop doing it) - nor does he have any credibility in preaching against stealing.

A THEIST! Plain and simple. If he believes what's written in the Bible (God's existence) - obviously it goes without saying he KNOWS it to be true! You can't BELIEVE in something, and yet at the same time claim you don't know whether it is true, or not. Claiming you don't know, makes you automatically an agnostic - otherwise, you don't make any sense! Lol. Believing in something you admit you don't know if it exists - that's irrational! See? You're proving the title of this thread.

I'm the claimant. To me, it is. And I'd given some evidences to corroborate my claim. You, on the other hand, have nothing at all to back up your claim that God's existence isn't a fact. Yours is just your opinion. Your opinion is not a fact.
