And in Kandahar the other day they were chanting "Death to Canada" on account of some kids that were blown up by leftover munitions.

Of course that article would come from a Saudi scholar. I could see it being a sin if they drank the bloody stuff.

My God, how do you know I even smoke? More galloping assumptions. My point is/was that the police surely have more things to do than bust the occasional user. And for the record, I quit pot long before I was married some 30 years ago. And my "kid" is 28 years old. Nice try Shark.

Who's to say I don't have my own plant or two? Who needs gangs? You assume too much I'm afraid.

Sounds a bit like 1984 at best and KGB at worst. My kid has the odd joint in the alley. Do you want to fund cops to try and round up everybody who happens to enjoy a joint in their backyard?

I think prorogation sets a terrible precedent for future minority Prime Ministers when they know they will lose a confidence motion.

Another republican lecturing on fiscal responsiblity...yeah, that's the ticket.

Surely you don't deny the medicinal properties of marihuana.

Do you have a link for that? I have M.S. and never heard of that. Would be interesting to learn more.

Musta missed the actual "attack." But those staples sure hurt when they land don't they?

And make sure there are 3 other buddies trying to stop him.

I didn't say anything about oil families. Here, read this: "Saudi Arabia remains the world’s leading source of money for Al Qaeda and other extremist networks and has failed to take key steps requested by U.S. officials to stem the flow, the Bush administration’s top financial counter-terrorism official said Tuesday. Saudi Arabia today remains the location where more money is going to terrorism, to Sunni terror groups and to the Taliban than any other place in the world,” Levey said under questioning. source

You got it.

Who funds al qaeda?

Funny how Harper has trouble choking out those three little words:I Love Canada.

In order to settle, we were gagged from mentioning this. That's how the system works. Even the mediating judge didn't know that until we cornered her during a break and told her about it. She was appalled but could not violate the previous agreement we had already made with the lawyers. And this shit happens all the time within the courts of justice.

This bit I quoted above concerned every Priest, Bishop and Cardinal in the Church for decades. Add it up. It was an official directive from the church. I know that the church is more than it's administrators. But you cannot deny that the "officials" were all involved in criminal conspiracy either by remaining with the church or refusing to challenge this order. And many parishioners still put their 10 bucks in the plate when they knew all about their abusive priests. That is probably the larger crime.

That statement is an utter insult to the thousands of victims who seek justice against the Catholic Church. Try and lay a claim against the church. Our Bishop obstructed justice 94 times before they eventually settled. This was after the Priest had confessed in Discovery.

Read this: ...the Vatican issued a secret document, "Crimen Sollicitatiois" (In English: "The Crime of Solicitation") during 1962. 1 "It instructs them how to deal with priests who solicit sex from the confessional. It also deals with 'any obscene external act ... with youths of either sex'." "It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation, and any witnesses." 2 According to the Evening Standard, a UK newspaper: "The document recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet, it threatened that if they repeat the allegations they would be excommunicated." "The [bBC] Panorama special, Sex Crimes And The Vatican... accuses the Catholic Church of knowingly harbouring paedophile clergymen. It reveals that priests accused of child abuse are generally not struck off [i.e. fired] or arrested but simply moved to another parish, often to reoffend. It gives examples of hush funds being used to silence the victims." 3 source Still think the Church wasn't morally responsible??

In the case of my wife vs. the Church, the Bishop (now deceased) said that money was the only way they could compensate her for the abuse she suffered for most of her childood. The offending priest was near death and they felt civil was a better way to go. No charges were laid. The Bishop died soon afterward and everything was settled by mediation judge. Judgement sealed of course. But it's on record that the Bishop knew full well he had pedophile priests in the clergy, and shuffled them throughout the diocese.

Been to Calgary lately?

And then there's this: "Alcolac, the Baltimore company, pleaded guilty in 1989 to federal export violations involving shipments of chemicals that could be used by Iraq to make mustard gas. According to the Iraqi declaration, officials said, Alcolac provided thiodiglycol, the mustard gas precursor, while Al Haddad, the other American company, was the source of 60 tons of a chemical that could be used to make sarin." link
