i'm being sarcastic.
-
both have had aspirations to become the liberal party leader. both are has-beens and are so intoxicated with politics that nothing they do or say anymore can be taken seriously.
-
it could also mean that the NDP will become the main opposition party to the minority harper government and then create a coalition to bring communism into canada. time to become hysterical shady.

Is America really a "Conservative" Nation?
bud replied to WIP's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
because corporations aren't already moving offshore? taxes are not the main reason some corporations are moving offshore. it's the cheap labour. you can't be putting the tax burden on the middle and lower middle class and expect the economy to flourish. if people don't have money to spend, that is when the economy goes downhill. -
Another Double-Standard Story; Tears for Rachel Corrie,
bud replied to jbg's topic in The Rest of the World
maybe a minor percentage of palestinians still hold that belief. majority do not. kind of like how a minor percentage of israelis believe in greater israel which includes the west bank and east jerusalem. i hope you don't repeat that misinformation again, jbg. -

israel responds to terrorism by killing civilians
bud replied to bud's topic in The Rest of the World
some things never change. american woman accusing and defaming people and then failing miserably to back up her claims when confronted and rue expressing himself just before it's time to take his meds. 29 pages have passed and none of the IDF die-hards have been able to explain or justify the fact that israel often responds to terrorism by killing innocent civilians. -
Layton/NDP open to reopening constitution with Quebec
bud replied to nittanylionstorm07's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
heh. do you have any non-emotional thoughts on the following: - $50 million of taxpayer's money going to a conservative riding under the guise of G8 spending - the F35's already mind boggling price tag jumping from $75 million to $150 million per plane -

why compare hamas and their actions and tactics to a watered down, feel good history of george washington when you can compare hamas to a few different jewish militant/terrorist groups? afterall, both hamas and the jewish militant/terrorist groups resorted to murdering innocent civilians. -

israel receives $3 billion a year in aid. on top of that, israel also receives loan guarantees which have varied every year. at the moment, they have $9 billion for 3 years. so add another $3 billion a year to that. these are loans that israel has never been required to pay back. i hope you remember this the next time such a discussion comes up. really? show something to back up this claim. then you are on crack. it's theft. israel has control of palestinian water which they disproportionately divide between themselves and the palestinians. you don't even know the meaning of security. you've butchered the meaning just like you have with anti-semite and terrorism. who cares what you and i agree on. if this water is not on israeli land and does not belong to israel as a matter of law, then it doesn't. it's quite simple. -

for sure, there has been growth. one problem is that israel refuses to deal and cooperate with hamas at all. the whole thing about hamas' charter that commits itself to the destruction of israel certainly doesn't help, however, at least they've shown some interest in talking and changing their stance. unlike israel, which intensified the blockade since hamas was democratically elected by the palestinians. here is an example of hamas making some effort: In July 2009, Khaled Meshaal said Hamas was willing to cooperate with the United States (WSJ) on promoting a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Hamas, he said, would accept a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders provided Palestinian refugees be allowed to return to Israel and East Jerusalem be recognized as the Palestinian capital. The proposal fell short of recognizing the state of Israel, a necessary step for Hamas to be included in peace talks. there are some talks between the two, but they only involve shalit and a prisoner swap. the longer this goes on, the more i'm convinced that both hamas and the extreme right wing government behind israel's expansionism need the status quo to continue in order to achieve their goals and to stay in power. -

okay. so this billions is not yearly. it's accumulated over the years which is different than how your comment came out. israel receives $3 billion + a year. that's a considerable chunk of us taxpayers' money, considering israel doesn't like to consider itself a welfare state. settlement increases and the wall that cuts deep into the west bank and the theft of water on palestinian land are not security concerns. it's expansionism and theft. what you and many unconditional supporters of the extreme right israeli government do is try to sweep and justify everything israel does as part of 'legitimate security concern'. unfortunately for you guys, these claims are trumped by reality. -

bud replied to bud's topic in The Rest of the World
billions of dollars? do tell. we're talking actual money received and not how much has been 'pledged'. the palestinians have had crappy government for many years, but that's not the main reason why palestinians are not able to prosper. the main reason is israel's occupation and their control of everything that goes in and out. when the borders, the air and the sea and imports and exports are heavily controlled by another government, then you need to be a little more honest about why the economy is doing crappy. -

you compared and equated the crazy extremist muslims to the kkk and then compared terry jones, the book burning pastor to rosa parks. by making such remarks, you're comparing the struggles of rosa parks to terry jones'. you're either not bright enough and can't find a better analogy or you have a soft spot for terry jones and he's your rosa parks. yeah? really? show me where i've said anything along the lines of: You probably gloat over the bloodshed, and legs, heads, flying in different directions. Or at least you enable it. here is your chance to shine. show a quote. -

Qaddafi Troops Fire Cluster Bombs Into Civilian Areas

you're a knob. goldstone retracted one thing. there are dozens of other allegations in the report which have not been retracted and have not been proven to be wrong. -
lol. "it's not about the pastor". you're hilarious. you are comparing and equating the crazy extremist muslims to the kkk and comparing terry jones, the book burning pastor to rosa parks. you're either not bright enough and can't find a better analogy or you have a soft spot for terry jones and he's your rosa parks.

this might be interesting to those who are interested in the real world and not for those who are interested in furthering their tribalistic agendas that usually consists of demonizing other groups and religions: The result is Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think, based on six years of research and more than 50,000 interviews representing 1.3 billion Muslims who reside in more than 35 nations that are predominantly Muslim or have sizable Muslim populations. Representing more than 90% of the world's Muslim community, it makes this poll the largest, most comprehensive study of its kind. What the data reveal and the authors illuminate may surprise you: Muslims and Americans are equally likely to reject attacks on civilians as morally unjustifiable. Large majorities of Muslims would guarantee free speech if it were up to them to write a new constitution AND they say religious leaders should have no direct role in drafting that constitution. Muslims around the world say that what they LEAST admire about the West is its perceived moral decay and breakdown of traditional values -- the same answers that Americans themselves give when asked this question. When asked about their dreams for the future, Muslims say they want better jobs and security, not conflict and violence. Muslims say the most important thing Westerners can do to improve relations with their societies is to change their negative views toward Muslims and respect Islam. link

no babies = older population who do not work = lousy economy you need to understand the basic concepts of how these things work before trying to justify your xenophobic attitude.

speaking of idiots: As the dust settles in Afghanistan after sustained protest over a Florida pastor's Quran burning, many residents in Kandahar are facing an unpleasant truth: More Qurans were burned in the course of their protests than by Terry Jones. The demonstrations, which started peacefully, quickly turned violent, killing at least nine people and injuring scores in Kandahar City alone. And as protesters vandalized a girls’ school and set fire to shops, Qurans also inadvertently went up in flames. link

the pastor is an idiot and what he's doing is out of hate. anyone who tries to defend his intent is an idiot just like him. however, i would defend his right to freedom of speech and expression. i'm sure those who defend the right for the pastor to express his thoughts would also defend david irving's right to express himself and would oppose the various holocaust denial laws in europe. right? this is what i'm talking about: David Irving entered the historic Vienna courtroom with a cheeky swagger yesterday morning and left in the evening a stooped and defeated man. The 67-year-old was sentenced to three years in jail by an Austrian judge for denying, in two speeches he made 16 years ago, the existence of the gas chambers of the Second World War and the murder of six million Jews. link
