No, your cowardliness is completely detached from everything else.

Did you save the Adler article to your files too?

Here's one for you: "...Zurich and Bern and Geneva will never look like London." - Charles Adler, August 11, 2011

Thanks for that. I'll remember that the next time I am at Medieval Times.

It's an unfair question, since there was no "wanton destruction of their society" in any way, shape or form, not even a blip on their own sub-culture. And you are assuming there was "no ethical dilemma" of the "many" based soley on the final actions of a few.

Why were Korean and other protected-with-firearm-stores looted and burned during the LA riots? Korean armed resistance in the Los Angeles riots Adler seems to think that the *only* businesses that escaped harm were those whose owners were armed. I see no proof of that anywhere, but the gullible eat that up like like pigs in shit.

Sorry, I should have been more clear: No. It isn't.

I don't think this is a unique perspective either. Some firms who used to ship to Canada no longer do so. Some manufacturers prefer to have a Canadian distributer and work that way and if there are no takers, you don't get the product up here. It can be frustrating. Luckily, I can have it shipped to the US and have it re-directed or pick it up, but even that is a PITA sometimes.

Could guns help keep the peace? Interesting opinion piece in the Sun today, another exploration from the fringe. So while Adler draws a line from a Bronson movie to this week's riots in England, he does make one interesting keystone point: The revolution that set Zurich streets ablaze Youth in the 1980s Swiss election sparks riots and racism Riots in Swiss cities during May Day marches Swiss capital plagued by weekend riots Anti-capitalists clash with riot police in Davos So Adler, giving light to a murdering fantasy from one of his callers, something that recalls Charles Whitman and the University of Texas shootings, then proceeds to move from a Charles Bronson movie fantasy to stating that the Swiss would never riot because of their guns. Another fantasy. Seriously, Adler is an idiot of the highest degree. What makes him worse is that he has a platform to spew his fictions and a gullible audience that believes him.

That might be part of the problem right there. Instead of telling "me" about it, such business owners - I would think - would be telling their MP & MPP about it and making a big stink about it in the local media. Jobs lost, revenues lost, etc. A story that has traction nowadays. Come to think about it, other than a few griping stories, why hasn't such stories gotten any traction in the media? And if the business owners taking their beefs to their local politicians, why are they so ineffectual? I often do mail orders from both Canada and the US and sometimes I am surprised by how cheaply things are delivered by USPS. But the thing is... once it leaves the US, it is handled by CP without, apparently, any further charges. I recently ordered a motocross shoulder brace for one of my kids from the US because Canadian shops didn't have the latest model. It cost me 9$ to have the brace shipped from MI and even at that, with DHL, the package went all over the place before it ended up in a USPS facility in Washington DC for some confounded reason. And is still only cost me 9$ to be shipped. The problem though, was that it took about 2 weeks longer to arrive. That was the only downside - the shipping times. Interestingly enough, I have ordered stuff from Amazon.ca to a Canadian address and from Amazon.com to a US address. The Canadian stuff always ships faster and arrives sooner even though the pricing is roughly the same.

If you can. But they will always out-number the police and unless you are advocating for a total put-down of all at-risk potential rioters, you are shit out of luck. A police state is bad tourist PR and not good for the Olympics. Peacetime is a bitch innit? Too bad there wasn't some worthy cause for Britain to go to war for, since they have the makings of a vicious army already. First thing they need to do is replace the mob cadres with official government sanctioned cadres, then organize vigils and firelight marches. Then pick a fight with someone. How has Argentina been behaving lately? Then again, there is always the French...

Well that would take a complete shift in the historical process wouldn't it? Seems to me that for the past 250 years, America's future has been informing England's. You know, since they basically rejected a future with England during their Revolution. Anne Coulter is wrong. As usual.

Exactly.

If you are referring to your cowardly bullshit, you are correct, I don't care for it at all.

I think they are likely fed up with people that live in a sacred bubble and believe, by the sheer power of their righteousness, that the ideological bullshit that they feed on is the gospel and moral canon. What you ought to do is go into those neighbourhoods and preach your righteous gospel. I believe you would find, close up and personal, what people get fed up with. But I bet you are too scared to do anything like that and prefer the nice, safe bubble.

Except when you post links to them. LOFL! "failed in their duty to maintain law and order." What about all the unreported crime? We need more police states. Yes, they did nothing. Well, if they weren't fed up, what were they? Consult your sources and let me know. Thanks.

So what part of this are you not getting? First you say there is "only one taxpayer" and now you are saying they are spending "other people's money." "really don't" + "really doesn't?" Here, let me admit to sarcasm before I actually type the following, so at least you get one clue to understanding: No, the TTC really doesn't put a value on taxpayer money.

The TTC is willing spend what "sum" on - the job ad??

Do you think the rioters care?

Why "less fortunate?"

Need I say more? No they will just use all the velvet Elvis and Poker Dog paintings hanging in the homes of the Ford Nation supporters.

Ok, so the focus is on this. Discounting the cost of materials at various global locations when you say buys more employees then we are essentially talking about cost-of-labour issue in Canada, yes?

Of course you will. But, above all, make sure those sources align with your ideological outlook. And what "lessons" do you think they will learn? Hopefully the first lesson they learn is that no matter what you do, when people get fed up enough, they riot. I am sure those on the side of Ben Ali, Mubarek and Assad would disagree with you.

Well I guess those best efforts didn't work out now did they because THEY STILL have problems. Maybe more workhouses? More prisons? Deserve? Have you not been keeping up with your current events? They got all the power they deserved and look what they did with it. For a moment, they were pretty powerful. No shit sherlock. Try to follow along will ya?
