Now the pack mentality is a scary thing, and Canada demonstrating pack mentality doesn't bode well for it's people.....

I wonder why it is Canada, that allegedly stands for democracy and free speech can't tolerate in an international forum the free speech of others? I mean shouldn't Canada set an example to the world of how much free speech is valued? How we may disagree with what is said, but, we say your entitled to your opinion. Isn't that what Canada is supposedly doing in it's export of "democracy" Free speech is a fundamental right, so what message is Canada sending to the world, regarding it's real stand on freedom of speech?

bandelot, it is only a tangled rats nest when the side you oppose is in power. Not you specifically, But, as an example for Pliny. It's a tangled rats nest because Obama is in, when Bush was in, it was all hunkydory. What a laugh! Now for the Obama followers, it is all good.... Yet, it is all the same, it is always the same, I was listening to an interview and the man, James Petrus, was calling Obama, the third term of the Bush administration. Why? Because despite the sale pitch of change, there has been none! But according to those that ally themselves with the "right" OMG! It is some huge change. Hence the saying, the more things change, the more they stay the same!

You choose to exclude yourself.

You couldn't be more wrong, but hey, at least you can read. I will give you a gold star for that.(sincerely) Apparently,or sadly, your reading skills are better then most others on this forum Explain this to me?? How could I demonstrate this little gals wisdom in her actions without pointing out that her and I have different skin colours? How else could I have communicated to you all, the non-judgement in her actions without pointing out our superficial differences? How else, could I have shown you the wisdom in her youthfullness?

How you or other individuals percieve what I have said? I have no control over. Good god, you people just pile in with assumptions, it is incredible! Kimmy has me condenscendingly patting her head, and you have me being "surprised" You ALL make your own assumptions for all your own reasons, and as I have said, they have nothing to do with me. One reason is you clearly didn't read what I wrote based on what you wrote above. So stop attributing imaginary head pats and expressions of surprise, when nothing like that happened. Goodness Argus even cited "liberalism" for gods sakes. I think some self-examination on your part, and the part of some others is in line. For the way you all read a simple story of the wisdom of the little gal. Ya know that safe about assuming.....

The story was about the little girl's action. The "tone" you perceived is all of your own making. Your reaction speaks of you, not of me.

"cringe inducing" wow, what a weird reaction to a little girl who didn't see colour, only a person. Were you scared, maybe she was muslim on top of it all? really.

Yes, I am inclusive, but it has nothing to do with being liberal, and everything to do with being a member of the human race, a human being. Try being one, it is very enjoyable.

the point of the message, and it was right in the story. See, right in the end The point was, the little gal, didn't see colour, she didn't see "race", she saw a person. In her youth, she is wiser then the fools that populate this forum

I'll tell you something, I am a lot smarter then you think I am, I am quite confident of my intelligence, knowledge and I continue to learn everyday.

yes, meeting behind closed doors and agreements such as the SPP, NAFTA, etc made without the people's knowledge or consent are sooo conspiratorial. I don't recall voting for any of that? Yet, business is always invited, shows where the priority lies. Not in democracy or accountability to the electorate that is for sure. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." - Johann Wolfgang van Goethe Enjoy your "democracy" lol

for what? had I followed his advice, I would have "gone shopping" and bought a house I could not really afford.

You are woefully mistaken. Ultimately, it is the banks that frown on the paying down of debts. No need to, I am fully aware of the fractional reserve system. Or as I call it making money out of thin air. Absolutely, and it will erode our standard of living, but the banks will be rolling in the dough. Won't they pliny? Wouldn't you think that indebtedness would make the banks very happy? I would. Which makes the banks the one that call the shots. .Governments play a role, but, not in "our" well being. They bow down to other masters, not the electorate. simplistic thoughts. Do you think it is all that simple?
