Who's Doing What?

The lie about the tanks and troops on the Saudi border is not false from what I have read. I found this while reaseaching: "SEPTEMBER: The Pentagon says that 250,000 Iraqi troops with 1500 tanks are massed on the Saudi border. The photos are never made public. Soviet satellite imagery taken that day shows no troops near the border. 1991 Journalist Jean Heller learns about the Soviet satellite imagery and presents them to Dick Cheney's office at the Pentagon. They ignore the story." "...What you expected to see were tanks on the border. There was none that we could see. I said, look, if you can prove to me that our story isn't true, we won't run it. And they just ignored it. They have never shown those (U.S. satellite images) photos. Not then and not since."

Is why John McCain will be the next President of the good ol' USA. I like to call it the "redneck vote" for lack of a better term. Bush got more votes in his second run than he did in his first. Why? How did he do it after he had already made a mess of things? I think it was because he played to the idea of the Dem's legalizing gay marriage and pulling the US out of Iraq and stopping the war on terror. Now everyone knows any "good ol' boy" worth his salt supports the troops no matter what, and the idea of two fellas kissing is just wrong. So I think more "good ol' boys and girls" got themselves off the porch and out of the trailer park to make it to the voting booth come election day. I see a similar mobilization when it comes to the idea of a minority or a woman being in charge of the most powerful nation on earth. Just a theory but time will tell.

Don't know where he fits in as a Historian but I was quite impressed when I watched him roll a joint to smoke with his tea.

Totally wrong. Go to any highschool and get a kid to test your theory. You will have pot in minutes but it could take you days to find someone who can get served alcohol.

...

Only he admits, that as party leader, he gave the go ahead for others to make financially incentive offers to Cadman. HE didn't know the details but he ok's it all the same.

Emerson was worse than Stronach. HE crossed the floor before the ink on the ballots was dry. At the very least his riding should have been put up for election again, since people who were voting for a party and not the local candidate were misrepresented when they thought they were voting for a Liberal.

And a tape. Don't forget the tape.

Offering a financial incentive to garner confidence votes in the HoC is not a scandal? Does Harper have to sacrifice someone during question period for it to be a "real" scandal?

Did you miss Harper's own words? He knew they were offering Cadman a financial package to offset his lost benifits if he died during an election campaign.

Left handed - Check Near sighted - Check White - Check Holy crap a trifecta of pride.

Who is putting anyone down? Not me. I am, and have for a long time, looking at this objectively. I will call a spade a spade and if someone thinks that makes me racist I don't give a flying F. Again with the cutting down of other races BS. The whole point is that where a Black person has black pride, or a latino has machismo, what do whites have? Right, the white man was/is so much more evil than people of other races. Genocide in Africa, Honour Killings in the Muslim world, Ghengis Khan, The Pharoahs of Egypt, the millions killed in China, ritual executions in Central and South America, are these not atrocities also? Hitler has nothing to do with it? How can you say that?!?!?!He wanted a pure arian race. His vision spawned neo-nazi movements across the western world. He has a lot to do with perverting ANY idea of "white pride". We need white pride because we have been brought up to be ashamed of being white because of what has happened in recent history. We now discriminate againstourselves in favour of people of other races, for what? Are they better qualified? Smarter? No. The only reason we do this is because we have been taught to be ashamed of being white and how terrible we treated other cultures. Well I have a news flash for you. I wasn't the one steering the slave ship. I wasn't the one wiping out the Buffalo. I wasn't the one who did whatever it is people think we should be ashamed for. You are defending the same type of people that were here. They are the ones who in any other culture would be labelled Terrorists and swiftly dealt with. But like I said, you want to defend them that is your business. Just don't expect me to buy any of their crap when I know what is really going through minds. They would kill you for your land if they thought it was theirs and they were given the opportunity. This was made very clear to me more than once. BTW they think they should own ALL of Canada. So excuse me if I don't get misty eyed when someone else comes on these boards and relates similar things that have been said to them. I believe AA and I don't think she was putting them down but relating how it was she lost her illusion about other races. I have had people of different minorities, get up and move on the subway when I said hello. I have had people stare straight ahead and ignore me even though we are only 12 inches apart on a crowed bus. I have listened to speeches of how the whiteman has ruined everything. Ofcourse while listening to the speech I wondered how he liked his whitemans car and his white mans house, and his white mans clothes, and his white mans appliances and technology? Then I wondered if he would be willing to give them all up to go back to his tipi and deer skins with his spear and bow and arrow?

SO just how would you suggest someone of caucasian persuasion demonstrate their their pride in being "white"? I feel the same, that if I am showing "white pride" then I am lumped in with the neo-nazi's and KKK. We have been told for years now that the White man was evil, the white man destroyed other cultures, that the white man is to blame for all that is wrong in the word today. Hitler and his demented dream of an arian race only made things worse. Unfortunately the only ones who do stand up for "whitey " are often the last people we need to be at the front of the line. They are the bigots and racists. They are those who lynched blacks for fun, and wear pillow cases on thier heads. They are the ones who tattoo themselves with swastika's and wear jack boots and spread hate. It is because of these people that the entire idea of "white pride" is perverted. I think everyone should be given an equal opportunity to succeed. Education and job programs that automatically disqualify me because I am white are just as rediculous as having "whites only" public fountains or making african americans sit at the back of the bus. A.W. I guess you weren't around when we had a few "warriors" on this site. What was in the OP sounds very similar to what was being said on these boards. I have no doubt that on a site where "warriors" are in the majority those things, and probably worse, were said. I was told they would starve me out of my home and kill me on site to achieve their goals, which was to take my land back from my family. But hey if you want to defend them that is your business.

Seriously? "Not feel welcome around" is a far cry from "Not allowed to join." "Most Black Clubs" you say. So you are admitting that there are Blacks-only clubs in existance?

So a person I would think of as 1/2 Mohawk, 1/4 African, 1/8 Irish and 1/8 Italian is really just a Mohawk? Or would they be a Mohawkafricanirishitalian Canadian?

"Reverse Racism" is the term for what you encountered. We have run into the same situation on these boards where people have the misconception that to be a racist you had to be white. With the exception of one particular poster the most racist posts I have read on this forum are from people who have identified themselves with a particular minority. Welcome to the boards.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Legalization would make it a lot harder for kids to get pot. Go to any highschool, and try to get some alcohol. Chances are it will be very difficult, if you can get any at all. Go to the same highschool and try to get some pot. You will have it in 5 min unless they think you are a cop or something.

Only an idiot can't tell the difference between a high like you get from Crystal meth or speed and what you get from pot. I have never heard of anyone dying from coming off of using pot for 30 years, but people need medical attention to get off opiates incase they do die. Going cold turkey off opiates can kill you, plain and simple. Going cold turkey off pot might cause some headaches and a couple of sleepless nights followed by a few nights of really vivid dreams but no risk of becoming physically ill or dying. So to say you think a psychological addiction is just as harmful as a physical addiction is completely wrong, and only demonstrates your ignorance in this matter. I repeat:Only an idiot can't tell the difference between a high like you get from Crystal meth or speed and what you get from pot. You are totally off base. Paranoid from a couple of stories. You realize they have been smoking CM or PCP laced pot in the states for over a decade. It's actually quite big in some parts of LA. The way you are carrying on you would think the entire US population of potheads would be all meth addicts by now. Bottom line is it is two different personality types that like the effects of pot as compared to the effects of crystal meth or speed or coke. YA you do have trouble distinguishing, because you like lots of other uninformed people lump them both together. They are quite different. With different highs and different effects on the body. When you lump them together you are doing everyone a disservice. IF you want to inform people then you need to get it straight yourself first. p.s. Do the rest of us a favour and please learn to use the quote feature.

What a bunch of misinformed huey! "He knows what to add to make it better" Give me a freaking break. Potency is all about the strain of pot. Sure things can be added but if you are smoking a good strain nothing needs to be added. Sure some people put crystal meth in their pot. For a crystal meth addict this is a good thing. For a pot smoker they would never go back to the same guy again, unless they actually wanted the cryatal meth high. I would say easily that over 95%(pobably closer to 99%) of all pot smoked in Canada has nothing like Crystal meth ever added to it. You seem to have a problem distinguishing betwen pot and crytsal meth. To bad for you. I guess you will have to just keep on being misinformed and clueless, knowing only what the propaganda machine spits out.

Smoking laced pot is way different from smoking just pot. But ofcourse as one of the uninformed you would not know the difference and lump them both together. People who buy pot laced with crystal meth and pcp usually know what they are buying and look specifically for it. People who want to just smoke pot will get seriously pissed if they get someting that is laced with anything without their knowledge. Pot only causes psychosis if the psychosis already exists. If a person is not already predisposed to a mental illness pot will not cause one.

From what I have seen the ones that whine the loudest are some of the ones that originally got caught taking it too far. I get a kick out of seeing a few certain posters quote rules that they themselves broke with regularity before they went overboard and had to be talked to. You all know who you are. lol

Drug testing in school? That has been going on for years. When I was in school kids tested all kinds of drugs.

First off if you grow a clone outdoors that was from a plant grown indoors you will get the same pot. If you got crap from your outdoor you harvested too early, or had poor growth conditions.

So now pot is too powerful? Funny, cause most of the highest potency strains have been around since the 70's. There is just more of it. If you don't know the difference between Opiate addiction which is physical and a psychological addiction like pot you are going to have trouble convincing any knowledgable person of your position. Ever see a pot smoker puke and crap and and halucinate when they stopped using for a few months? No. Whereas I've seen people who had serious sickness from prescribed opiate painkillers after only using them for a week. Big difference. As for the mental illness, if it wasn't already there the pot didn't cause it. If pot was directly responsible for inducing mental illness then half the country would locked up in a looney bin. As for adulterated, pot is less adulterated than the grain that is used to make your bread today.
