Bob Macadoo

Hmmmmm "I don't want you in my party." vs. "Can you just keep quiet about that so we can get elected?" Which one sounds better is what you're asking?

Like the child who doesn't want to contradict their father when he has a bigotted outburst.....so he doesn't cheer him on.....but at least he hasn't gotten his white hood out to truly embarass you.

Yes...unchecked PCness can lead to this kind of absurdity......of course comparing it to Khmer Rouge activities is its own kind of crazy. This doesn't negate the validity, but just like Argus' indignation.....everything in moderation.

Well since ON is running growth at just behind BC and Canada is double the US......I'll guess pretty good.

Didn't you know.....only one man deserves his pay in this province.....and he sure as hell ain't no immigrant.

.....neither was a disaster......I just don't put stock on this "steady hand on the wheel" crap that was touted daily.....the PM has little influence on overall economy....just picking localized winners/losers resulting in a zero-sum game.

There ya go......right on cue.

.....ummmm Harper didn't take over during economic depression.....if you believe do nothing governments have an affect on the economy.....I don't.

......you're right the PC term is appropriate......so as not to offend the colonial snowflakes.

Justin Bieber is both appropriation & awful.

.....again with minority groups that were dominated. You eating sushi is probably safe......you making mariachi/C&W slow jams....not so nice. Cultures mixing is an equal exchange of ideas.....great.....stealing culture to be chic......not so much.

Intimately.....exchange of cultural practices on an even trading field......re; spaghetti from China......is not appropriation. Absconding practices via dominance is pretty much the definition of appropriation (beef curry/vindaloo). As I've said the appropriation of hip-hop culture is only been overlooked as alot of black americans are making alot of money off white appropriation (Dr. Dre). Greed is universal.

Well if; The swedish were colonized, tried to have their culture eradicated, raised in poverty and then had their colonials use their cultural art as a kitsch-y profit maker rather than a paid tribute honouring the struggle of that art in partnership with that culture .....then yes you buying a Flarfvanflugt would be considered appropriation.

Extortion.....bribery....it's all in good fun when you're a winner......and winning bigly.

Fake News

You are so full of crap. These words are used as a substitute of character.....that makes them bigoted whether directed at that applicable person or not. He said "Fag" to insinuate that he was feminine and not a man to face him. He could have said "Jew/Kike" to insinuate he was being cheap or "nigga" to insinuate "lazy" or some other undesirable characteristic bigots associate with other cultures. Its because some people are raised to believe its OK to describe culture not people like this and not generally they are a racist. Hence why now terrorist only has one cultural meaning. You fool yourself into thinking whatever but Mr Koufax was offended when he was called a bigotted name and he was offended when non-jews were called it as it meant his lineage was than theirs.

.....politics as usual....if there is no substance submitted to criticize...go for fear. I don't need Brown to give me a policy paper.....I want to hear outlook. 1) I have sat through all the electricity committee work and plan to repeal the 25% debt financing and intend to buy back the Hydro One shares to keep power public. 2) I intend to implement legislation that will finally put protections in place for part-time designated full time workers 3) I've talked to John Tory and intend to support municipalities in implementing tolls and fees to fund their infrastructure. 4) I have now read through and observed the new sex ed curriculum in action and have no intention of a roll back. I don't need to know how's right now.....just that we have similar mindsets......my mindset is not "I hate her so......" a match.

So just as you believe that the Liberals can do nothing but bumble and bamboozle you predict Brown will get caught up in some benign issue that will lose him the election which a 2 y.o. could stickhandle?

....if you mean the same 4 phrases reused in multiple permutations/combinations......then yes great deal. Kinda like Trumps "great deals". Rue/Argus wonder why I don't take this topic seriously and give it flippant commentary......its likely 'cause that's all it deserves.

....that is an interesting angle that could be debated. Does our 24 news hour cycle lifestyle promote and sensationalize islamic terrorists more than any ISIS facebook account ever hope for?

....it only bothers me as it doesn't promote any discussion......just more chanting from armchair marines. I'm neither worried about dying in a bomb attack nor receiving backlash while praying to the east........

.....so muslim terrorists are a problem. Is the discussion over?

It doesn't solve anything it just allows you to look up from your navel to shake your fist at the sky. I'm not much into useless acts of desperation. If sitting around shooting fish in a barrel entertains you....'ave at 'er.

OK so talk.....you seem to be reasonable. There are terrorists out there who proclaim that their islamic faith directs them to inflict pain on innocents in some irrational game of tit for tat that they may believe will get them some sort of elightenment in the afterlife. Now what?

Why is that an "important" point? What result is driven from that fact? Does it provide a resolution to the problem? Does it provide solace to the victims? Does it provide superiority to non-stakeholders? I know which one....and its not a riddle.
