I too joined this board some time ago but visit infrequently and never bother to post much. Seems the same old same old to me. Frankly I find your contempt for the various personalities on this board insulting. And nanny mods are always annoying.

Worst Guess Who era ever.

Wannabe mods are annoying.

I agree that Quebec is largely socialist, but that has nothing to do with the rest of Canada. English Canada is culturally much, much closer to the U.S. than it is to Quebec.

Canada US Border: Perimeter Security
LonJowett replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
The Canada-U.S. border is, for the most part, useless. It doesn't provide either country with greater security, and it's just a hassle for trade. It gives work to bureaucrats and people who couldn't make it as cops though. -
bullcrap. Canadians are just as "violent" and there are just as many folks who hate paying taxes.

In some respects Canada is more free than the U.S. As a born and bred U.S. citizen, I have to file a return with the IRS every year, even though I live and make all my money in Canada. Canada doesn't force its ex-patriot citizens to do the same.

End of Life Planning - A Rare Obama Idea I Can Live With
LonJowett replied to jbg's topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
It's hard to believe someone would be dumb enough to think they were euthanizing people against their will on their slippery slope. I guess you don't need brains to comment in online forums. -

I've lived in both countries about equally (20 years in U.S.; 28 years in Canada). They aren't that much different culturally, and the U.S. is in many ways as "socialist" as Canada. The truth is they are both very similary right-wing democracies. And you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

I like the idea of going online anonymously and calling people cowards. There's something inherently...oh...cowardly about that that.

That's hilarious. You should repeat that over and over again.

California Decriminalizes Marijuana
LonJowett replied to BubberMiley's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
And it wasn't until organized crime took it over that they had to make sure it stays illegal. -
Glenn Beck VS Alex Jones
LonJowett replied to GostHacked's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Didn't Glenn Beck mock that family whose house burned down and the fire department refused to put it out because they didn't pay a $75 fee? I guess that's all anyone really needs to know about Glenn Beck. -
Palin reads cheat notes off of hand
LonJowett replied to punked's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Then why is it fine? Do you think Reagan was less of a president because he often used them? Personally, I think he was a better president because it showed he was careful and thoughtful about what he said. Why's it less robotic? Because you have to flip from card to card? By failing to explain this, you seem to be grasping to try to create an issue where there isnt one. -
Palin reads cheat notes off of hand
LonJowett replied to punked's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
So to sum up, teleprompters are bad if used a lot. Even though Reagan used them a lot, that's fine because he's Republican. Cards can be used a lot, even though they serve the same purpose, but Obama better not use them, because then that would be the same and he's a Democrat. And, of course, the use of the term "retarded" is only bad when said by a Democrat. Got it. -
Palin reads cheat notes off of hand
LonJowett replied to punked's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
What is super-funny is that Palin was making fun of Obama using a teleprompter while she had notes scrawled on her hand. I'm not sure what the deal is with the teleprompter anyway. Is it because they resent the fact he can read? -
I've seen a native band build a play structure for kids on a reserve beside a regular town. They chase all the non-native kids off it. It's just for them.

Is it time to de-criminalize Pot posession?
LonJowett replied to bluegreen's topic in Political Philosophy
What diffrence does it make? Its not like you can OD from it anyway. Smoke too much and you just get a really good nights sleep without all the fear of death that sleeping pills offer. -
Okay, coot, you clearly out-debated these lightweights who could only attempt to change the subject, insult, or misunderstand the meaning of "able-bodied" to come up with a rebuttal, but I think arguing that passive warmongers who avoid service are hypocrites is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. I take issue with them being called immoral though, because, as you said, war is murder. How could avoiding killing people (even if you support others doing the killing for you) be immoral? Because war is, by definition, killing, then war is by definition immoral itself. Avoiding it may be cowardly (and nothing wrong with that, I say), but ultimately they aren't hurting anybody else in the process. In any case, what's this topic have to do with calling someone a racist? Somebody's trying to change the subject from how this forum is attempting to be a haven for bigots.
