There was a computer study done at the cadet institution that one of my friend's attends that stated the NYPD could succcessfully take over all of Canada. <- just a side note.

Do you think that the justice system should look at youth offenses subjectively or objectively? Subjectively would oviously be the preference but then where do you draw the line?

Yes, in every left winger lives the soul of Pol Pot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pol Pot? He was about as anti-liberal as you can get. Liberal motto: Live and let live Conservative motto: Live my way or you're a useless liberal Pol Pot Motto: Live my way or die (Or maybe just die cuz I don't like your face). You confuse left with totalitarianism - which is neither right nor left in itself, but evil no matter which way you slice it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excuse me for being ignorent, but who/what is Pol Pot? And also, may I ask why all conservatives are generalized as having a motto like that? I consider myself conservative but I in no way want everybody to believe my beliefs... if everyone conformed to believing the same thing there would be no diversity and original thought. I think that for the most people, no matter their political tendency, just want their views to be understood, respected, and taken into consideration. If that's your view of all conservatives then so be it but I don't think that you should generalize a whole political contingency like that. Anyway, if you could maybe define "Pol Pot" then I may better understand your point and why you would label all conservatives like that. Thanks.

Oh brother! If you cannot see humour in the above few posts then you must be humour deficient. It is ok to laugh at politicians and our government. Nobody is seriously thinking about lighting people on fire or carrying out terrorist attacks on our leaders. It's fine to poke fun at them because believe it or not they pay attention to our critisism... They understand when their people are displeased and for the most part they attempt to change what it is we are unhappy about. If it takes a "disgusting joke" to get people to understand and take notice than so be it. No one here is condoning the burning of live people, politician or not.

Fighting for equality between the sexes and within the sexes does not mean one is fighting for conformism. "Equality" is just a platform for everyone to be eavened out upon. It is from there that one may choose to do this or that. Individuals ARE different, with different needs and wants, but at the same time we are all human. We are all apart of the same community. I would not want to live in a society were everybody was a robot following the same path in life, being treated exactly equal, because you're right, we're not. But equality is just a stepping stone to bring us all to the same level. Unfortunately our society would not be able to survive if it were a subjective one. It's much easier for our government to just give us one blanket acknowledgement in an objective manner than to single out each person's needs.

I agree whole-heartedly with your accusation of male discrimination as apposed to the usual prejudice against women. But as long as we see men and women as needing separate help systems it will never be fair. Somebody will always be discriminated against. You can blow your horn for as long as you like about equality, but it will never be reached until we realize the differences between men and women, not only in the obvious physical nature but also in each sex's emotional and spiritual needs. However, this is where my concordance with you views end. I do not believe that women are making men's lives worse and worse. They fought very hard for their rights and bloody well earned them. If men wish to do the same then I say, "Go for it!" Nobody's stopping you. And as for your point concerning homelessness, I do believe that for many homeless people it is their choice to sit on the street and beg. There are plenty of welfare programs and non-profit organizations that provide assistance to those in need and that includes those without housing or means to fend for themselves. I can just hear the angry mobs arising from this comment but it is by choice that many people do not have post-secondary education, and again by choice that many people do not have jobs. There is always another option to disparity. I realize that some of the time it cannot be helped but that is when it is also time to seek help; these non-profit organizations are there to HELP. Men do not need to be helped by anybody but themselves. Women certainly helped themselves to the fruit of equality; surely the male population can follow this trend. And even if there were social programs for male equality and the like, what makes you think that men would attend? The male populace of Canada, and the world in general, are so used to being the dominant sex of mankind, why would they stoop so low to receive help to attain the level of rights women have? Men and women were created equal in the beginning but since then this image has been skewed and altered to fit the ego of the handful of alpha males that act as leaders of mankind. In order to make men and women equal this image must be put back into place and the only way to do so is to recognise the difference between men and women and address these differences.
