But there's the goon that the rise of extremists is a consequence of the Iraq war what would be the consequence of the same thing repeated again? I suggest the result would be more extremism from the very same populations. Why should the west go in and clean up the mess? If the original mistake was going in to fix things resulted in this how would going in to fix this actually fix anything? It won't. Besides, is it the wests morale duty to wipe their asses for them too? Perhaps we should let the local powers deal with the extemists in their area while we deal with the extremists in our areas of responsibility.

Did he? I never noticed.

Sure Harper forever. But Harper has dick-all to do with ISIS and terrorism....except the only thing he is able to do: Talk the big talk

Just imagine...Canadians get thier heads sawed off. Very easy to do and as you say it will happen. Despite Canadian F-18's and Harpers sword rattling. It will most definately happen under Harper and will most definately happen under Trudeau and most definately happen under anyone else. Do you actually beleive these head-choppers are actually scared of Harper and the Canadian conservative party?

It most certainly did. Thankfully those days are fading.

Yes tons of fiction. No one should see the Imitation Game thinking its history. But even though I knew it was bullshit I enjoy Cumberbatch so much that I simply did not care. I imagine it would take a hell-of-a-script to make Touring designing the machine a watchable money-maker. That script they did not have.

Since many homosexuals had to hide their homosexuality in order to climb the civil service ladder It was a security risk because one could be blackmailed through the threat of outing the homosexual. That was the theory but I have no knowledge of a homosexual with access to sensitive material ever actually being blackmailed.

I'm pretty sure the right failed to spend money at Target too.

Maybe people could not-see the cartoons and still make up thier own minds about wether they classify as offensive or not? I'm not quite sure what the point of determining wether the cartoons are offensive or not is supposed to be.

Holy Crap. Its not the massacre of 12 people in cold blood thats the crime: Its the lack of respect for free speech thats the real immoral failure! What is wrong with these people to have no respect for free speech? I couldn't give a shit what they think of free speech. Their contempt for free speech is absolutley meaningless beside their actions.

I don't think the political will was there for that sort of thing either..and even if it was it still wouldn't have worked. Terrorists can plot in Florida apartments if they wish. Unleashing the wests 'other arm' would have merely killed a hell-of-a-lot more people. Granted - some of them would have been terrorists.

I was there in the 79. I enjoyed it. Probably because it was so very different from what I was used to in Sask. One grand adventure. The folks were very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed it very much and would happily return- even now!

...and blindly lobbing grenades over his shoulder it seems.

I have been reading some books about Cathars and the Albigensian crusade. The Cathars believed we are indeed in hell. That this world has been created by the Devil and we are stuck in hell. Basically the God of the old testement was the devil and that Jesus was sent to inform us that we are in hell and the only way out was to live up to the tenets of the new testement. The Cathars were very successfull to - until the Cathar holy men were rooted out and destroyed. Apparenty these Perfects could go toe to toe with Catholic clergymen in theological argument. At least according to the records of the inquisition. Of course, these Cathars had rather extreme ideas regarding holy living - absolutely no sex for to bring another life into this hell was obviously a great sin. Partake as little as possible in the world around since it is evil. Best to die and the sooner the better - but suicide is a sin. In the day they made for a very strong and resilient influence in Southern France. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism http://www.cathar.info/

and it was over and done when the media got word of it. No opportunity to camp out at the scene and speculate and ramp up the excitement. A done deal has a definate lack of drama.

Harjit Singh Sajjan spent 72g's moving a couple of blocks?

Full agreement here. That the non-mental health boffins don't agree with the actual boffins doesn't hold much weight - some - but not much.

It is the Action that determines criminality - not the motivation. That a Muslim takes control of a place in a Western country is no different than if any one else takes control of a place in a western country. Who gives a shit what their motivations are? The state re-action should be the same because its not the motivation thats the danger but the actual taking over by armed and dangerous people thats the danger. Obviously false. Please do provide some example of anyone - anyone - suggesting that many among us seem unwilling to defend these principles. How does claiming the perp in Sydney is not a terrorist affect anything at all? How does claiming the perp to be a terrorist affect anything at all?

What we don't need is those who are tasked with policing over-reacting. They should be the ones who should definitely not be over-reacting. I don't think cops over-reacting should be passed off as a mere bad-day.

Well, I can think of something worse than that! Ninja Grizzley bears! With eyes that shoot lasers! therefore a hot iron being shoved up the ass is not torture, really.

Nor does it right to exist come from being a Jewish state. In fact becoming a Jewish state, in Rue's explanation, doesn't mean anything at all. It's pap for the masses.

I voted no for the reasons BC2004 has very cogently stated. No nation exists by the vague notion of 'Right'.

...and drive. or walk.

The train was transporting a refined product you say? Wasn't KeepItSimple suggesting that such refined products do not get transported?
