The world is a cruel place and Lee's honesty or frankness is modern-day naivety. Not everybody is receptive to honesty or frankness.

I never gave it to YOU. Do you feel a sense of entitlement?

It all sounds too unreal. I dread how it will sound once PolyNoobly catches on.

I donate the most to Revenue Canada.

Of course not because you were spinning a question to avoid the fact that those individuals were undoubtedly Liberals.Will you admit that they were Liberals?

In that case, your statement in in post #4 is completely empty. If you see a car accident, are you going ask the cop "Perhaps his thinking is that it was not the car at fault but the people driving it!" ? Keep going. All you have to do now is admit that the scams were perpetrated by Liberals and perpetrated deliberately.

I have never absolved bad governance by deflecting the blame away from individuals as you are doing. There was a deliberate commission of fraud in the sponsorship scandal by real people.

Perhaps it WAS the people running it!Are you going to lay blame on "the system" or some other inanimate object?

Nobody has an interest in the public good. To who??

<< In 1996, Jean Chretien wants Stephane Dion in his cabinet. After a bit of back-and-forth, Stephane Dion accepts Jean Chretien's offer. Despite family nagging, he gives up pursuing an international publishing career. In return, Stephane Dion wants a high-profile position, like President of the Queen's Privy Council, and to be in charge of Intergovernmental Affairs, even before having a seat in the House of Commons. >>

What would you call a website that labels itself with "Free Press" and displays a doctored photograph of Stephane Dion??

Do you really want more freedom? Anyway, the poor Wal-Mart workers stand out as the only ones who are unionized. Now they stand out as having NO Christmas bonus. La PresseMaybe their union dues can be pooled together to pay for their bonus themselves. Bah humbug!

If I did that I would probably lapse into a coma! I would just throw the book at them.

Are you going to give up so fast? You can fulfill your needs with a different kind of faith. Try this for size: There is a religion for everybody!

I have this great idea on how to help the poor: Give a politician a raise! You forgot something on the list: 6) They picked their job. My heart goes out to the poor politicians! The truly poor do not need politicians.

Who cares about Jeb Bush??? I saw this great bumper sticker. It said: Bush / Clinton / Bush / Clinton / Bush underneath a string of portraits of Snr., Bill, Jnr., Hill and Jeb.

I think this is comical: from the same article in the Opening Post. The back door is open. Anybody willing to pay me to write bad reviews of your competitor?? Sign me up! On a related note: What is a blogger??? Who defines a blogger?? Each one of us in this forum can conceivably be identified as a blogger. Anybody with a website that is edited with any frequency can be identified as a blogger.

I disagree. Oil. So.... that makes Irak a good comparison with Canada. I see. Why not say "Irak has enough water" (Canada has water) or "Irak has enough sand" (Canada has sand) or "Irak has enough poets" (Canada has poets) or "Irak has enough politicians" (Canada has politicians) or -- Why oil? Not everybody can afford to be violent. You are treating politics as if it were a board-game devoid of real people.

Hm..... citation? To provide direction towards good choices. To stop people from thinking that it is possible to get away with crime.

What does "leaves an opening for defeat" mean? Any budget can be defeated.

I can understand not believing in God but I wonder: is there a natural explanation for human evil? Does the Devil exist? On a related note: Good things require hard work. Bad things come easy. If you want fresh water, you have to manage a rain barrel or reservoir. Whereas one drop of slime poisons all of the water. If you want to eat, you have to cultivate the fields. Wherease weeds grow rampantly. If you want shelter, you have to build a house. Whereas one match can bring the whole house down.

I guess so. I am supposed to be a former junkie.

We can have sectarian violence and civil war now if we wanted. Should I fear that now? Of course it is absurd. There is too much money to be lost in war. Who is going to pay your bills while you are away?? Pegged off by who? I can not say that I can afford to go to war. Can YOU?? If I went off as a guerilla, my family and I would starve. If you conscripted me, my family would starve and I would probably go crazy. In either case, the war is over. You are comparing Canada to Irak. Why not compare Canada to Somalia or Ruanda or Slovenia or Rhodesia or Marsillia or Mandalore? Why did you choose Irak?

Is there a little pill for that?
