Good point! You seem to have left him speechless...Nope. I just don't play with trolls. Especially trolls too dumb to miss rather obvious nuances.

Is not a lwayer who represents himself considered a fool?
I think the expression is "a transgendered sue-happy basket case is a danger to any organization." I could be wrong, though. I may also be on her list of targets by now...

Will the federal government help the people who lose their jobs with their mortgages. People working in these factories have mostly all bought homes, lots of those people worked in the same place for over 20 years.
So what? How is that relevant? Why should "government" come to help these people? Why don't they move or find new jobs? Christ, how did we ever get to the point that people lose a job and then sit and cry, waiting for someone else to come and rescue them? If you lose a job, find another. If you have to move, then move. If you have to change fields, then change fields. If you have to sell your house, then sell your house, or commute, or do whatever it is has to be done.
What has happened to our society that even breeds this defeatist attitude? How did this country ever get built in the first place? I can just imagine the first sod busters...."Dear Upper Canada: We had a bad harvest this year accch. Our sod hut lacks heat, the potatos are goin' bad, and the cow ain't milkin' right, aye? But we don't want to move. Come and give us a wee pittance, will ye?

Showing my ignorance here.
How does one continually persuade an outfit to carry on with so many different types of legal suits.
After all it would beggar most of us to do this if we had to pay for the entire cost of these law suits.

My rifle fell out of my boat when I was duck hunting. Oh well......
Gangs in Ottawa are a real problem.
You hunt ducks with a rifle? Just how good a shot are you anyway?

You forgot to finish your prayer to the gods of GW with the word 'Amen'. You really need to more careful - you could jeopardize your soul in the afterlife if you don't repeat the GW catechism perfectly.
I didn't see the "overwhelming consensus" mantra either. Isn't that like saying the Lord's Prayer without mentioning "Lord?" Fortunately for Jazzer, carbon credit indulgences can be bought at the nearest Gorean wicket, so his soul can be saved from the Fiery Lake of CO2.

Education is important but poverty breeds far more problems than a lack of education. Poor people either give up entirely, or they go on a rampage. First Nations in general are third world status in my perspective and that should be one of the focuses. Just like any town needs economic development, I think First Nations need to have their own sources of EC.
I have an idea! Naw, that would involve going to work, and work would take away from time spent on the barracades demanding more welfare. Silly me.

As for SA, there were plenty of white states in the world. There is only one Jewish state. Why is it that many like you seem to have a problem with the Jews having a state?
Well, let's back up a bit. First, you have rightly argued numerous times that religion is not a race, yet here you seem to be arguing the opposite.
Second, Rue, for example, and probably you too, would argue strenuously that the west ought not be "white" only, nor "Christian" only, yet at the same time you defend Israel's right to be Jewish only. I happen to agree, but merely because of my Machiavellian observation that the world needs an outpost of civilization in that swamp of Arab Islamic barbarism; not because of some inherent "right."
Third, I know it's hard to ascertain people's motives online, but I think what is sometimes seen as antisemitism can range from angry personal reaction of the moment, to a quest for historical truth (I'm far from convinced, for example, that all holocaust questioners are anti-semitic), to an intellect weak enough to buy into Islamic agitprop, like the gag-me-with-a-spoon-LOL! brigade. And I'm sure there are many other reasons too, that don't involve what would be identified as "anti-semitism." I know, for example, that I'm often tempted to light into Rue's bombastic sarcasm and double standards, but only from a personal distaste of longwinded and largely meaningless diatribe; nothing to do with Judaism.

Exactly. Then again I think it would take a lot for a chimp to steal $1.14 million in taxpayer dollars.
I guess I'd rather be taxed in bananas. After all, no one would have cared as much is brown paper bags full of bananas had gone missing...maybe there is something to be said for electing Liberals...

If having the Chinese do a job more cheaply than we can, then of course they should do it. Foreign trade is just a new technology and job losses due to both have the same root cause. We have access to a better cheaper way of doing something.
You are entitled to believe that the earth is flat but you'd be wrong if you believed that. I feel confident that I am right and I have long list of smart people who have given considerable thought to the question to support me.
You are not the first person to think falsely that out-sourcing jobs to China will impoverish us.
Madmax, may I suggest that you take an introductory course in economics at a local college or university?
Why? Is university teaching entirely different macroeconomic theses these days?
Outsourcing is excellent for individual businesses; I tripled my income in a fell swoop doing it. And while there may be compensatory benefits to my country, the jobs I outsource benefit this country in only one way: transferring wealth from the US, UK, and Australia, to Canada. Unfortunately it also means that some of what would otherwise be coming here goes to India, for a net loss of potential wealth to Canada.
In my case no wealth is transferred from the 3rd world to Canada, simply because no-one, whether it be China or the Tigers, can afford North American expertise. Nor does Canada get any other benefit from my outsourcing.
The upshot is that I gain a personal (or corporate) gain, but it's a short term gain; it'll last for a few decades, barring global catastrophe...certainly long enough to see me out...but it's a long term loss for the country. Manufacturing, both by nature and by scale is far worse, with multiplier effects like the loss of industrial capacity, to mention only one.
Will I stop doing it? Nope. Why would I? Treehuggers will keep driving noxious VW buses painted with toxic chemicals, Gore will keep flying around the globe with a CO2 trail many small countries only wish they could produce, and people everywhere and always will follow the money. But the funny thing is, that for me to stop outsourcing would actually be worse than continuing, because at least I'm attracting wealth here that would otherwise not be attracted. I'd even like to think I'm creating value-added, but that's stretching it a bit. Words are fleeting, unless they create or feed social opinion. Which is, I suppose, why I post here.
But as a longterm solution, outsourcing is a net negative to the outsourcing country, and to the outsourcing company. As the labour market eventually reaches global equilibrium (as it will according to the globalist thesis), the labour economy of foreign outsourcing will dry up, but the native capabilities will have transferred. The outsourcer will eventually lose everything it once had, while the out sourcee will have gained everything.
Of course this is all theoretical, which is why I sleep well at night. Things like global depressions (one of which may well be right around the corner), and wars, have a habit of plowing the playing field in readiness for a completely different game.

On TV news saw that the US army is holding a job fair in Detroit for welders and mechanist, etc for $125,000 - 250,000 for one year and one day plus benefits..... the place Iraq. Now the only problem I see for these people who do sign for the money is you gotta to be able to come home alive to enjoy the money!!
Your point?

Couldn't agree more.
The United Nations was founded out of the ashes of World War II for the noble purpose of ensuring that the earth would never know war or genocide again. The embers of the Nazi gas chambers were still hot. The barely alive, near corpses of Holocaust survivors staggered in the camps of Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Dachau, Bergen Belsen, Treblinka and other such place. The Nazis had finished slaughtering millions of people for no other reason than that they didn't fit the definition of "Aryan" (as if Hitler was blonde and blue-eyed).
Actually, the holocaust had nothing to do with the formation of the UN, and everything to do with the formation of Israel.
The UN was a second attempt at the League of Nations; a longtime aim of the liberal (in the original sense) economic globalists. It had to do with the abolition of war, to be sure, but not an end to it by means of Chapter VII so much as the old thesis Fukuyama dredged up and dusted off; that war won't occur if there is more downside than upside to it. The UN was always intended to be dominated by the classic liberal components in the west, and the increasingly strident radicalism coming out of today is the best argument for that intent i can think of. Unfortunately the classical liberalists were so strong at the time that the current state of affairs wasn't even foreseen. We now have all effective power in the hands of the US and a few hangers on, while the entire corrupt, but fortunately powerless, machinery of the rest of the UN is geared against the US.
The US has less and less to gain by being a member of this monkey's talkshop. It's like Indian affairs in Canada...paying for groups to diss you. The more money Canada gives the Indians, or the US gives the UN, the louder get the whines and howls of rage.

Gee, Scott...
This is indeed rich. I'd love to think that my repeated admonishes that you drop individual cases of bad behavior as a rationalization for dumping on an entire religion... I'd love to think that it's getting through, but my gut tells me it's just a double-standard on your part.
Let's get this straight.
You're saying that you shouldn't use anomalies as a basis for general statements.
A 10 second search found this example from you:
Thank you Mikey *patting you on the head*. Trot along, now.

Once again, that is your opinion of it. It doesn't seem to be one shared by the Harper government who have signed on to Bali. I didn't hear them criticizing the science, only the economics of doing it alone.
You surely must have more subtlety than to interpret my point in that way. Did you miss something while reading it?
-
I was actually thinking that Justin Trudeau might take a run at it. I bet he could win a majority for the Liberals.
Canada could use another Prime Minister Trudeau.
Like Germany could use another Hitler. -
If I had to choose between a Harper conservative and a chimp, the chimp would definitely get my vote, no question.
This is the intellectual level of the average liberal doctrinaire.
-
Scott, sure thing.
Let me know how the debates are going in the playground. I would like the record to show that I will debate my points with anyone, not just those who are easy to defeat.
I'll get right on that Mikey.
-
Once again, it is your opinion that they've been duped or are peddling a false hypothesis. The Tories have signed on to Bali along with the U.S. There is no longer any national government skeptical of the science.
Nonsense. You know it very well. It's a political football, like the fake ozone "crisis" or the Y2k "crisis" or the old growth "crisis." Or, for that matter, like the "brutal Afghan winter" or "Iraq spiralling into civil war," or any number of media fed frenzies western society seems willing to buy into at the drop of a hare-brained thesis.

But if people like him were to have the reigns of power they would do exactly what the nuts in Nigeria are doing.
See? There you go again. I have yet to hear keng advocate anything remotely like this, yet you have no qualms about imputing it to him. Has he accused you of wanting to shoot people? If he did, would it be fair if he cited other atheists who shot people and claimed that if you had your druthers, you'd be all about shooting people too?
Do you think the henious acts in Nigeria should be covered up/ignored or do you think it should be discussed by the Christian community?Do you think Muslim fundamentalism should be discussed by the Muslim community or covered up/ignored?
Obviously neither should be "covered up," but let's be realistic. When we discuss the issue of rape, we don't dredge up some obscure case of a woman raping a little boy and claim that women are just as much of a problem when it comes to rape, right? We can be sure that you don't, anyway. We rightly attach more weight to males raping women. To do otherwise would simply be a farce. I'm sure I don't have to hold your hand and walk you through the nuances here, between an obscure event in barbarian tribal Christianity in Nigeria, and a global Islamic phenomenon reaching from the Russian "stans," to the horn of Africa, to Michigan, to across Europe and Asia. Do I?

Thought so.
Oops. In light of August's new evidence, I think it's fair to say that it has graduated from "drive by" to "highly probable." At the very least she/he/it is a loose cannon, errrr, so to speak.
-
Ok another insult....
I will try again for you.
How bout this wording:
"He flew into a rage because she would'n't listen to him when he told her to wear her head covering."
Better? Do I get "it" now? Do I get a gold star? Oh please please I want a gold star!
frigNope. I don't think you even begin to get it.

You have some evidence that this candidate has psychological problems?
Or is that just a drive-by smear?
Just a drive by smear, based on probability.

It is the wishful thinking of all religious fundies. Thankfully in North America we have a good many secularists who put "humanity" ahead of "godliness". If you do not agree, then you are not a fundamentalist.
What utter nonsense. In the absence of any evidence at all that "fundies" want to hunt after witches and practice warped African tribal "Christianity" in North America, you simply impute it, and then go to the astounding lengths of fabricating an antidote. Lets see if I can do the same thing in reverse...hmmm....
"If atheists had their way, they'd shoot all believers just like Stalin did. The only thing that stops them is the Godliness of the Christian ethos." See? We could do this all day...just make up assertions, then "prove" them by supplying a made up reason why they don't obtain.

What laws were broken? I did an inet search and from what I can tell any laws there were broken there were charges laid and sent to court. Some of them have been found not guilty and the rest received reasonable sentences. So really, what laws are you talking about that have been flagrantly broken?
Yet...that McHale fella is interfering with the lives of other Canadians, in and around Caledonia in order to push his personal political agenda, despite being told by many Caledonians publicly that he is not wanted there. As well, now McHale has been banned from Caledonia because the OPP made a deal with him which I understand he now wants to renege on. So I wonder what goes through a guy's mind that says he wants the police to enforce the law, yet who quickly refuses to abide by the law. I also understand that there may be an assault charge coming and it seems McHale is a bit of a hypocrite in saying he didn't assault the woman while there is credible video evidence that proves he did. Do you suppose McHale doctored that video on his own website to edit out the actual assault? And don't you think it a bit ironic that the guy lied in the public forum while trying to show the OPP are being truthful?
Lots of questions come out of this affair in my perspective. McHale's lack of credibility is no longer unanswered.
Well well well. Here she is again.

Speaking of logical fallacies...naw, never mind...you've already been banned a bunch of times for this same kind of trolling.
