My "religious information" has been pasted on these boards innumerable times. I'll tell anyone who asks. Obviously if some of Harper's nefarious henchmen are lurking hereabouts scooping that information, with the intent to follow it up with a happy "believe-in-God-but-not-really-Christian" Day card, I'm not going to start an endless thread about my fears that I'll be scooped in the night. Now, having wasted far far too much time in this silly thread, I'll depart. Farewell...wave to the trucks when they pull up in the night.

Our troops are in the field, fighting. We are at war.

Who cares who said it...it's basic history. Do you deny it?

Thanks...I forgot to add the links...

Yep, here we go with the car burnings again. I bet Amsterdam is happy it opened its hoods to be overrun by hoods.

Good grief, this place is being overrun by rappas and political toddlers.

I guess we'd have to resort to Boer war tactics then, eh wot? We're already halfway there, so all we'd have to do is cut off the welfare cheques and declare victory.

The research you provided was based on asking professional women if they'd like to advance in their careers to the top. It's a no brainer that they said yes. What the research didn't account for was: 1 relative # of women in that position vs number of men, 2 relative # of women to men in the industry, 3 length of time of each women and man in the industry 4 control from general population 1-10,000 a trillion other control factors, PLUS: the fact that the sampling is of a group that obviously wants to advance, so it has zero (0) utlity as any kind of "study" at all. It's like asking Doctors if they want to make more money in medicine, or pedophiles...well anyway, you didn't provide any research at all.

Damn, I knew GW was too good to last. And here I was going to import some slaves for the coming banana plantations outside Winnipeg...

I have a question. Do you feel that they are incapable of finding their own way out of poverty? If not, why not? Are they lesser animals than the rest of us? Are they innocent pets who we can't can't really treat as responsible human beings? Obviously keeping them in a gilded welfare cage isn't helping them out of poverty, although it seems to be enriching the pockets of their leach...oops I mean leaders...despite the fact that they receive gratis bushels more per capita money than anyone else, with zero input in return. So what way do you envision helping them out that we haven't tried yet? I think we need to give them each, individually, man, women and child, a million dollars, an acre or two of crown land and ruthlessly cut them off the public teat. Hell, put it to a referendum they can vote in...I'm quite sure they'll vote for it overwhelmingly. If they then find it within themselves to pool their land and money and go off the grid and live harmoniously under the kind minstrations of stoneage tribal chiefdomships, they'll certainly be able to afford to pull it off for a generation or two. Otherwise, they can either live the rest of their lives in slatternly drunkeness or pull up their socks and move on.

Or they fight.

My opinion is irrelevant. Your 'facts' are misused and largely fabricated. That is not an insult, it is merely a fact.

I'm hardly a biblical scholar, but it's kind of ridiculous to use highly contentious evidence to bolster your case.

Whatever. It fits. This study is totally misrepresentative of the point you were making, given that you were talking about the general population of women. I find that dishonest and rather disgusting, although I'll chalk it up to your failure to read the actual article rather than an inherent dishonesty.

This kind of a priori conclusion crap study has been churned out by Faculties of "Women's Studies" since the late eighties, and by this and that axe grinding organization since. They bear no reflection to to reality in any way, shape, or form, and are merely thrown out there for political consumption. The particular study you cite? Well, lets take a look at it's "subjects": "Catalyst’s 2004 study of 700 senior women and 250 senior men, sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers, found that both genders aspire to reach the top ranks in organizations—55 percent of female and 57 percent of male respondents. " This is even more egregiously maipulated than most. Asking "700 senior women" (presumably hired by Price Cooper) if they aspire to reach the top ranks is like asking 700 lions if they aspire to eat gazelle or 700 pedophiles if they aspire to boink little boys. I'm surprised the stat is so low. It certainly doesn't reflect the general population, although it's clearly designed to pretend to.

I guess I'll have to post my response here too then, although why you dragged what I said in another thread here is beyond me. I am hardly overstating the case. If Canadian Indians want to "return to the land" in a very real sense, there is nothing at all stopping them from picking up where they left off in 1492. Sure there'll be a few less of them, but they certainly have all the land and more that they could possibly need. But they won't return. They won't for the same reason I have no intention of returning to the blissful pre-columbian life of scratching out a living on a bleak Scottish hillside in hopes that I can live out my alotted 30 or so years of life expectancy before the Sassanatch or the clan next door kills me and my family. I'll leave it to your imagination why not. But unfortunately for the Indians, romanticizing and bemoaning the loss of that "lost way of life" means free everything, so their leaders will keep lying, and they'll keep sinking into the mire of putrified mythology and alcohol.

When they pry it on my cold dead head.

Well written, well thought out post, August, but with, I'm afraid, a weak conclusion. I prefer to think there is no difference between races, but that may not be the truth...I just don't know, so I won't "confront" someone knows far more than I do about the subject. Neither I nor you have the slightest idea how much genetic drift or modification 50,000 years can bring, although I tend to agree with you on a visceral, if not particularly knowledgeable level. Everyone realizes that people are phenomologically different...that uncomfortable fact is a bit hard to escape. But if you've lived elsewhere you know, as does anyone who has lived elsewhere, that people are different in other ways too...whether for cultural or genetic reasons none of us are able to tell, yet. Those are questions for a different and hopefully future age; one in which the pursuit of truth is more important than the pursuit of political correctness. But the immediately relevant thing is that people feel they are different by category of race, and do so with a deep attachment that goes well beyond the blithe "education" prescription the left is so enamoured of, as if humanity is a tabula rasa upon which to imprint right-think. Facing that truth and acting accordingly is something we will do. Whether we do it now or after it's too late for the caucasian west is yet an open question.

No, but I'll suggest that you look up the logic 101 idea of conceptual transference, otherwise known as "logical transference."

What in the world are you talking about? If this were war, these "warriors" would be lying in piles expiring their last burp of beer, and the rest of us would be paying a great deal less in guilt money to further their...err...."freedom fighting." They figure it's heroic to run around playing bushman warrior in army surplus camou as long as no one actually fires at them. I say if they want war, they should get what they want. Incidently, that's US standard issue camou they're running around in, modified to "native warrior" standards with a few strategically placed beer stains; not stone age feathers and breach clouts. I wonder why they don't go traditional?

No one has any idea, beyond mere conjecture, why they bombed the Syrians. Except them and the Syrians, and the Syrians ain't saying. There's a reason for that. If it was the standard "peaceful nuclear reactor" meme, it would be plastered all over the news and the howls and keens of anti-Jewish anguish would reverberating unto the skies, but nary a word. I suspect it's some novel means of spreading death that the Arabs cooked up to further their agenda of dying in a big fiery ball of piosity or whatever dictate their psychotic prophet passed on to them this week.

Alrighty then. Guess that's your answer...

CNN did a most ridiculous "expose" last night...I just about gagged. It was supposed to be about "keeping people honest," and in particular keeping Gore and his agitprop honest, and the parts that I saw before I turned it off was a ridiculous slathering and grovelling at his feet. Of course they were showing great dismay at polls showing the the "ignorance" of the public for not buying into this idiocy, despite "overwhelming scientific concensus" (that no reasonable scientist will actually admit to consenting to without reservations) that man is at the root of it. Whatever happened to 'news'...the reporting of it as opposed to the formulation of it? It's ridiculous that we have these semi-educated buffoons parroting away when very few of them have the slightest idea even roughly what they're talking about.

Well well well, look who is here...one of the best posters on the web!
