You think they're still alive after being clubbed and shot... from up close?

Being poor doesn't equate with living in squalor. The racism of the parents is part of why the kids were taken away, but not the whole of it. Even their grandmother agrees, btw.

Yes, that's heinous as well. Am I supposed to be more or less outraged depending on party affiliation of the accused?

This gay loving type is glad the government no longer has a place in my bedroom. Aren't you? This isn't about preferring the company of your own race, narrow-minded as that is. This is about the children living in squalor. THe mom talks about crying and sleeping on her daughter's bed, hugging her stuffies. No mention of her abandoning her daughter for months... or that it took days to clean up the place after the kids were removed. But no... this is all about the big bad government and thought police telling people what they can and cannot believe.

That's pretty lame.

I love diversity of opinion.... gives me something to argue against with.

I don't like it... but it seems silly to spell it with a bunch of asterisks. I mean, if you're going to say something, say it. If you self-censor, then use a different word.

Yeah well... I like benny. He reminds me so much of another guy I used to post with.

Europe didn't even have that. Many of our immigrants left Europe to escape persecution because of their religious and/or political differences. As for language.... there's no such thing as "European". I realize you mean English... which all my immigrant friends also speak. Even the Chinese and SE Asian ones.

Ah yes. Neuschwanstein castle. Built by a king who drowned "under mysterious circumstances". Even unfinished it's gorgeous, but climbing all the way up that hill to see it, then climbing up all those stairs to the top floor, one can't help but think of allthe poor peasants who worked so hard to bring such beauty to a few wealthy folk.

I really don't get the "log rolling" analogy. What does birling have to do with this? I wasn't aware that there were large swaths of the population who wanted polygamy, or even kirpans in schoolyards. I don't know what FGM is so I can't comment. Sharia too has only a few people advocating it. Relatively speaking. I still want you to explain the "looking/thinking alike" thing. You seem to be bouncing all over that one.

It is. DST corrects by an hour. The clock here is out ~27 minutes.

Someone that espouses uniformity of thought decries not being allowed a diverse opinion? That's kind of funny.

Ridiculous, asinine, narrow-minded... grab a thesaurus and have at 'er. You want Canada to be a little Europe, on its own continent. You want us all to look alike and think alike... but you're skating around actually stating what that means, exactly. Who are we supposed to look and think like... you? Me? Some random European of your choosing? Our ancesters all left Europe for a reason, lictor. YOu might want to think onthat a moment, before you decide to recreate that Europe here.

Yes, that's nice and all, but what you actually said was: "Canadians knew who they were then... Either European derived offshoots of England or France." Your real problem seems to be that you would prefer Canada be this arm of Europe, with no Asians, Africans, etc. Why? Because they're different? They don't look like us or think like us? That's ridiculous.

Lathbridge? I assumed somewhere in Newfoundland, since the site clock is out by about a half hour.

And therein lies the problem, for people such as you. You want a "western" culture, not the Asians and other "coloured folk" who have been immigrating here since... well, since before multiculturalism was made |a national religion". My ancestors didn't come from either England or France. *gasp*

Pat Buchanan said "Todd Palin ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops."Could have been worse, I guess. He could have said something about Bristol having sex during the 7th inning stretch.

haha! I've asked him the same thing! Sometimes what he says makes sense.... other times I think he's just playing.

Not every church demands strict tithes, but they do need offerings to pay expenses. Believe what I do or I'll hurt you"? I don't think I've ever even hinted at that sort of attitude.

He did... "failed".

This is completely the reason I'm a Lib.

Do you make this up as you go?

No link.... it was from a seminar I recently attended. Accusations of an ad hominem attack, particularly lame ones, are one rung removed from godwinning a thread.

Chinese coolies in Richmond? Right there, you lost all credibility for me. You were all but begging for this thread to be godwinned, lictor. I'm surprised it took as long as it did. Interesting that you mention how the Nazis were dominating the sciences though. Have you thought about HOW they were doing so? Here's one example. Thanks to the Nazis, we know how long a person can live without food, because they made thorough studies, using their prisoners. Don't worry though.. it's ok. They didn't use people that looked and thought like they did, so it was all good. I guess there's one advantage of diversity, eh? I suddenly feel all icky.
