  1. Now I will attempt to answer some of Guyser's comments:

    I doubt that, probably more nonsensical pontificating.

    Lets see...

    He stated:

    "We do know there are more white kids than black. So one could easily postulate that the numbers should reflect that truism and then we could break it down further if you wish."

    His comment makes no sense. In the neighbourhoods where blacks are charged or arrested or carded or detained, they are the majority and because they are centralized or condensed into certain communities this explains why they would be targetted and why crime rates reflect geographic location.

    In fact in communities where there are no blacks, whites are arrested. It doesn't magically stop. This is why we have to go further and examine unemployment and why the statistics on youth crime and unemployed is directly related and if blacks are more likely to be unemployed, they are more likely to commit crime or be on the streets.

    Whites are not arrested in the same numbers as black youth, we all know that . I wonder why?

    Guyser stated:

    "The stats show this huh? Where? I dont see any."

    Well then before you post, before you respond, why don't you at least make an effort to go look or does your sense of self entitlement mean people have to feed you everything.

    So now you want to change the rules or is there a rule for rue? You make a point of chastising one for not putting in links, the same gets thrown back at you but somehow this results in self entitlement/feeding.

    Damn man that is funny. Not that I am laughing 'with' you of course.

    Want stats on banana prices and Depends sales?

    What the hell is all this and how does it relate?

    Guyser stop makingc omments like Jeebus.

    Stop posting inanities then. Simple really.

    Its common sense to understand someone unemployed has more time on their hands and so is more likely particularly when they are youth to be on the streets.

    What no one but you seems to be surprised about is that when someone has no job, no career, no future, they hang on the streets, join gangs and get into trouble. Its not rocket science and neither is the corelation to absent fathers, single parent families, poverty, lack of recreational facilities, high population density, poor lighting.

    Oh, so is this only for black men/youth or does this include all youth?

    What you said is obvious, no one including me denies that unemployed have time on their hands and the streets can be a lure.

    Water is wet. Thanks....need a link for that perhaps?

    The fact you do not know such information exists does not mean it does not exist. Stop saying huh and ugh ad Jeebus and go look.

    We all know it exists, this is just your ploy to get out of explainging the co-relation of it all to what you are trying to post.

    But you knew that and couldnt defend it so now its being mr daddy to us simpletons.

    No thanks.

    You made this comment:

    "Make it legal for cops to walk in your house anytime? Lets see, you say black kids are pissed off cuz they get pulled over for nothing yet its good sine a fugitive might get arrested"

    No I did not say the above.

    Sure you did rue. Its right there above.

    We know your shtick. say one thing, deny it later.

    Here..."Their crime often is having a nice car.If they have no record and they have done nothing its a piss off and they are victims of profiling yes. That same unfair profiling can also be pro active policing and bring in a fugitive."

    This is saying the cops can do good by violating ones rights.

    Its 'unfair' but positive can result. So, your saying its pro active, yet we know it is a denial fo rights and you think its nice.

    Isnt that wonderful Counsel.

    I don't write with such disjointed and nonsensical references or comments.

    Generally you are worse.

    Now you stated:

    "Of all the people here, your background etc......."Papers please"....should be denounced since history has shown us why its bad."

    What would a post be without you responding to me with the Jew card. My being Jewish has nothing to do with the issue but it reflects something in you that requires you to try suggest I am not a good Jew because I agree with carding.

    First of all, I do not agree with carding. Had you bothered to read what I wrote you would know that. Secondly my being Jewish has nothing to do with the issue and your attempt to use it in a way to claim I should know as a Jew that Nazis carded people is stupid.

    If blacks were being asked to wear special badges you bet I would defend them. However its a stupid comment because a visible minority needs no Star of David, their skin colour is their badge, and its because I am a Jew and you are not, that one zipped past your head.

    How dense are you ?

    The fact that Jews disguised/refused to wear badges meant they may have a chance to go about their business.

    Papers please at whim was a problem insofar that they would then get identified.

    Not a hard point to get,unless of course you want to try and play the woe is me card and introduce your onw brand of bigotry.

    Not the first time, but then again, we tend to get used to it.

    Profiling people simply because they are black or anything is of course wrong at a basic fundamental level of civil right. If its used to single out only blacks and is used to discriminate and provide unfair treatment to blacks it should be questioned.

    Well it is doofus! Thats the point.

    But strangely you seem to think it...lets see what was the phrase " some good comes from it"

    Its a complex issue but its the tip of the iceberg when policing and interacting not with just blacks but all minorities, all ethnic groups, all of us.

    No it isnt.

    Here how to rectify it. Policemen, new order, dont 'card' anymore.

    Woot...done .

    Then you stated:

    "Yea...lets remind you of your positions on this board.

    Why are you talking for Africans? Youve never been to Africa

    Youve never been to Jamaica

    Youve never been toWest Indies.

    So why are you talking for them?"

    Guyser these continual attempts to get personal with me only make you look absurd. To start with I have travelled to Africa, all of the West Indies, and worked with many people from both areas. That is not germain to the issues we are discussing.

    [

    Such a crybaby when your own words are tossed back inot your mug huh?

    There isnt a sole on this site that cannot easily find you incessant whining about " Yourve never even been to X so how would you know? "

    You wouldnt know that, nor would I know it.

    But since it was good enough for you , I figured it good enough to throw back at ya.

    So, to remind you once again, dont talk for Jamaicans/African/how ever since youve never been.

    Got it? Hope so. Funny how YOUR words upset you so.

    You again try bait like Blck dog did.

    Pointing out foolishness and obvious contradictions isnt baiting. Nice try.

    Clearly I express my opinions or that of what blacks have stated publically. I don't claim to speak for them.

    Except when you did.

    But ok, just remember when someone claims something about X you notjump in to say how would you know, never been there.

    Good.

    Stop trying to get personal with me and stick to the issues.

    Stop taking it personally and quit yer whining, it is tiresome.

    Expected, but tiresome.

  2. I'm a little confused here. What is the theory as to how the guy died that would lead to such charges? If he died in the back of the van due to falling or twisting his neck or something then their only crime, it would seem, is that they didn't do up his seatbelt, as called for in a memo distributed a few days earlier.

    Over zealous arrest whereby they sat on his neck.

    Then they dragged him to the van.

    Next they threw him in the van, couple that with no restraints of the body in the van and the ride itself (with the above in play) could further damage the man.

    And apparently, the van stopped for an half hour somewhere but we do not know yet .

    I have to be careful, I read this earlier and dont really know the veracity of it, but thats what I read.

  3. In practical terms, children are not legally liable if they're under 12.

    That is incorrect I believe. A child under age 7 is supposedly free from liability but over that age a tort action on a child is measured by the maturity of the child . If he has it , a judglement can be rendered.

    Each one is its own measure.

    It's not unreasonable to insist that they're accompanied by someone who takes legal responsibility for their actions.

    At all times until 18 they parents are responsible, or at least legally liable.
  4. I never called you a liar but you have proven that you provide information that does NOT back your allegations. What you did was take information and misrepresent it as making conclusions you did which it did not. People can read what you quoted to see you have no statistics to back up what you claimed and for that matter the info you provided does not back up what you say.

    Lol. But please keep going,

    Says the guy who made up all kinds of facts without even a shred of evidence.

    So transparent it isnt even funny.

  5. I do not believe that law enforcement officers kill people as a routine.

    Ok.

    I believe most are good people, many of whom enter that career with the intent of helping others.

    I dont.

    Most of them seem to enjoy the power grab they suddenly have. Those who dont soon learn how much fun it is. Ever notice all the glad handing after a chase?

    Being a policeman is still a respected position in society.

    It is? Where?

    Dont confuse being given respect since they can and do F up ones life on a whim versus a respect that is earned for good work.

    I also believe that the major problem in the USA is the ease with which one can get a gun. It is estimated that there are about 300 million guns out in the public in the USA. That translates into 1 gun for every man, woman and child.

    89 per 100 citizens , Canada 30 .

    Under those conditions, when the bullets fly very easily and very quickly, mistakes happen often.

    Sure do, sometimes even dumbass Sheriff's allow for a 72 yr old feeble man be a play sheriff at times. Allow him to pull over people while being wholly untrained to do so.

    And sometimes these old idiots mistake a stun gun for a firearm.

    No problem there.

  6. All six cops involved are going to be charged in connection with Gray's death.

    Wait a sec, thats impossible, we have our own reknowned expert pontificating that...

    Update: Medical report states that Gray suffered injury in the police van, corroborating the report that he was trying to injure himself.

    How could that be???
  7. Cybercoma there are no statics that show the reason more black youth or blacks are arrested is that they are over policed. Or that because a youth is white they are not arrested. You made that up.

    We do know there are more white kids than black. So one could easily postulate that the numbers should reflect that truism and then we could break it down further if you wish.

    What the statistics we do have and show is that black youth are more likely to be unemployed. As a result they are more likely to be out on the street at all hours of the day and night and because of that more likely to be publically visible particularly late at night and so more likely to be noticed by police.

    The stats show this huh? Where? I dont see any.

    When you do post , dont forget to include the stats that show these unemployed black kids are on the streets versus the unemployed white kids (which are multi times more than blacks) who are probably inside studying to be better.

    Jeebus.....

    So its a vicious cycle and it directly relates to unemployment not over policing. In fact black communities complain they are under policed and budget cuts prevent sufficient neighbourhood policing, i.e., the ability to put cops on the street walking which is the best method to avoid arresting black youth.

    Let me use your own wors here.

    "You made that up."

    No links...you made it up.

    Where it gets attention is when young black men driving cars get stopped. Their crime often is having a nice car.

    When white owners of nice cars start complaining then you may have something, but what you posted is a crock of baloney.

    If they have no record and they have done nothing its a piss off and they are victims of profiling yes. That same unfair profiling can also be pro active policing and bring in a fugitive.

    Hey, why not suspend everyones right mr lawyer?

    Make it legal for cops to walk in your house anytime? Lets see, you say black kids are pissed off cuz they get pulled over for nothing yet its good sine a fugitive might get arrested.

    Of all the people here, your background etc......."Papers please"....should be denounced since history has shown us why its bad.

    And yet, strangely you like it.

    The black community is not uniform. Blacks from African nations where the police are in fact soldiers and brutal have a lack of trust for police no different than whites from war torn countries. West Indian blacks have mixed approaches. On the one hand Jamaican Canadian youth for example are stereotyped as hating police, its not necessarily true. Many come from families where their parents work 2,3 jobs and their experience with police in Jamaica is they are black and can beat the crap out of you so you don't go near them. It depends on your country of origin. If you are born in Canada and you are a black youth your ideas on police come from American culture which popularizes gangs and an American black youth identity which distrusts

    authority.

    Yea...lets remind you of your positions on this board.

    Why are you talking for Africans? Youve never been to Africa

    Youve never been to Jamaica

    Youve never been toWest Indies.

    So why are you talking for them?

    Good for the goose, good for the gander.Hypocrite.

    Its complex. All the stereotypes in the world can be poked and shown to be untrue including anything I said.

    Is this so you can back peddle on the rights violations you like to see ? Or is it to cover the immature and unfounded conclusions you come to without ever visiting these places?

    .

    Cyber its not helpful injecting your own personal political views with references to stats that don't exist with due respect. If you actually had some produce them because I doubt they exist.

    Wow, got some inflated sense of self here doncha ? My gawd man.....such pomposity.

    The stats are there to look up.

    Oh I doubt that.
  8. Update: Medical report states that Gray suffered injury in the police van, corroborating the report that he was trying to injure himself.

    Good lord man, do you even read the damn link you give?

    It says nothing of the sort re ; corroborating the report that he was trying to injure himself.

    You want to rail on lefties all the time, so is this where I put righties are too stupid to read or cant? Which is it?

    Details surrounding exactly what caused Gray to slam into the back of the van was unclear. The officer driving the van has yet to give a statement to authorities. It’s also unclear whether Gray’s head injury was voluntary or was a result of some other action

    I enlarged it since righties have a problem with reading and/or comprehension. Is there someone with you that could explain it for you?

    And who made the report?

    Ahh the wonderful men and women of the ever reliable and very trusted Baltimore Police Dept.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

  9. Babcock is the Gold Standard Coach, globally .

    As a head coach he has won a Stanley Cup, World Championship, 2 Olympic Golds, a CIS championship and a W#orld Junior. Nobody else has done that. Surefire Hall of Fame stuff.

    yes he is.

    And prior to shit show rewarding Edmonton, I would have thought Babcock would highly entertain a move to TO.

    But not so much now. Oilers should....should...have a very bright future and I can see why one would sign up there. Now Mrs. Babcock I am not so sure.

  10. As has been explained in the past, people don't agree about what constitutes a troll. You are implying that a troll is being ignored, or undetected, but it's likely that others just don't agree with your assessment.

    Change 'others ' to other...as in one for accuracy.

    Pretty much all but one agree who trolls and who doesnt. Why? Because the one thinks it funny to see .

    The troll isnt being ignored or undetected , its being promoted or encouraged, take your pick

  11. Babcock, Hitchcock and McLellan all on the 'looking for jobs ' list.

    Mmmmmmm

    I like em all for my team.

    Hitch was one I wavered on, but his bosses didnt listen when he said they need goaltending,,,,three years in a row and they lost because of it.

    So yeah, Id take him, but we'd need to get a goalie and they are in short supply.

  12. LOL!

    You're funny buddy!

    Totally ignore the fact that a senator can be a minister or even a PM in Canada!

    Duffy has an official seat in Canada's parliament!

    Does the GG have the ability to introduce a bill or vote on an bill?

    In fact, if you are arguing that a senator IS NOT AN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, then you are exhibiting your limited knowledge OF parliament!

    The distinction is that Duffy is not an elected member but an senator. Still an MP.

    WWWTT

    Well....here it is, ignorance on parade. Revel in it I suppose.

    I wonder why no link? Could it be....that you know but like to act stupid, or is it not an act?

  13. .

    Senate is still parliament.

    WWWTT

    Got a link for that?

    Three people have told you how wrong you are. Is there an education problem?

    While you are at it, correct this....MP is short for member of parliament. NO it isnt.

    An MP (<--note Caps) is for Member of Parliament (<----Note caps once again)

  14. Oh my, youve written some doozies , but thats ^ probably the dumbest thing you've ever trolled about.

    Dismisses all the social isolation, all the brutality some have suffered at the hands of Police , ignores the social ills that are foisted on those of little means.

    Well done and congrats on the achievment

  15. Two, one was the family moved to Virginian from up north in Ontario. The community (Stepford Wives 2.0) came a calling with Pies and treats but soon asked 'what Church will you be attending? '

    Huh? What church ? We dont go to Chur.....um we havent had enough time to look around at what is available.

    A girl I was dating had been booted from the Jehovahs (if they only knew just how freaky she was) for a lack of attendance at the chruch she went to, cuz its like 100 K away and she lives in TO now?

    Anyhow, she knew I didnt believe in god, was ok with that. But when we were about to go meet her folks , uber JWs BTW, she demanded I not say that I dont believe. I told her if they ask then I will reply 'I do got to church'......but hope they dont press for more cuz my anser was to be ...'for weddings and funerals'

    Needless to say , the visit never happened and she stopped taking my calls. She had issues about relligion from her folks.

    One night when her dad was staying with her (in HER home) I called around 10pm knowing she would be home from another engagement. Her dad answered and demanded to know why a man was calling a single woman at home, let alone this late at night.

    Apparently 'free will' and 'being an adult' didnt go over well.

  16. I think it's reasonable to make a distinction between a home business and another kind.

    Maybe reasonable to think so, but in actuality it truly isn't. They operate under the same restrictions for the most part.

    And I don't think the question would arise often enough for us to say there is a societal imperative in rejecting some sort of accommodation in that case. How many fundamentalist Christians operate B&Bs from their homes anyway?

    Surprisingly many.

    And to boot? There is precedent....

    The British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has fined the owners of a now-closed bed and breakfast $4,500 for refusing to grant a gay couple a reservation in 2009 after learning of their sexual orientation, the Vancouver Sun reports.

    Les and Susan Molnar, the former owners of the Riverbend B&B, cited religious reasons for why they wouldn't agree to rent a room to Shaun Eadie and Brian Thomas, who live in Vancouver.

    The Molnars tried to argue that the B&B was part of their home, saying they pray there and feel responsible for the behavior of their guests.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/19/canadian-bb-owes-gay-couple-fined-4500_n_1687757.html

    ....and more....

    This isn't the first time a B&B owner's religious beliefs spilled over into their business practices and was deemed discriminatory. In February, a Christian couple running a bed and breakfast in Cornwall was ordered them to pay a gay couple £3,600, or about $5,600, for refusing them service, the Guardian reported. That couple argued that they wouldn't permit any unmarried couple to stay at their property -- regardless of sexual orientation -- because they believe pre-marital sex to be a sin.

    But the author of the judgement for the Equality and Human Right's Commission, which issued the ruling, found that the B&B owners weren't being prohibited from exercising their religious beliefs.

    "They are merely prohibited from so doing in the commercial context they have chosen," she wrote.

  17. False equivalency. Nobody has ever suggested, at least, to my knowledge, that pizzerias shouldn't or wouldn't or should be allowed to refuse service to gays. The only thing I'm ambivalent about in that regard would be something like a B&B, if it were the owner's home.

    A B&B operating out of a home needs a business licence , a business number from the CRA,a commercial sign permit , a liquor permit if you allow booze on the premises.......like a regular business.

    Some places do not require this, some dont have the manpower to bother.

    There really is no diff Argus.
