Menage a trois anyone? YUCK. Now I must go and shower.

Now I'm a little confused Argus. You say this recently, The more I see things like this the more I think the whole Kyoto global warming thing is little more than a big scam propagated by morons and idiots. So which is it?

I think you'd better reread Liam's post above. There is nothing racist about it. His gripe, as is most of the West, has to do with the radical extreme fundamentalist muslim, not the religion as a whole.

8-12 hours to see a doctor with a broken arm is absurd. I waited 7 hours in an ER here to be seen and Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) was suspected. Here's a tip from personal experience to beat the emergency room blues: 1) get in a traffic accident, or 2) take an accidental overdose. No wait!

That was just nasty.

Aah, the famous Conservative red herring.

And maybe Harper isn't scheming at all. It might be unpopular with his party, but he said he doesn't want and election and you can pretty much count on his word. Trouble is that doesn't really square with those hate Dion ads he ran now does it?

I think you're taking things a little too seriously. I reread Liam's statement and as far as I'm concerned, it's just an opinion. The only thing that could make it clearer is if he prefaced each sentence with "in my view" or "as I see it" etc. EDIT: Liam also says "I'll admit to my own ignorance and biases" which tell me even more he is just relating his point of view. I really can't see anything dishonest in his post.

And still you managed to post twice.

all right, I've read your post, now I challenge you to defend it --- take this melange of vagueries and put some support for it - there is something about certain apsects Islam that allows a sinister mindset to take hold. What aspects? and what is the something to which you refer? But there is something anachronistic about Islam, something regressive, something easily manipulated by charlatans -- much more so than any other religion I dare you to defend this bigotry - I submit it is pure prejudice - not even anything concrete to say, just this hateful, 'boy there's sumpin creepy about those Islamites' I suggest you do some self reflection and find how you came to such dishonest opinions. Isn't a dishonest opinion one that is presented as fact? IMV Liam's "opinion" is just that; an opinion.

As a matter of fact so did Rosevelt. As a matter of, 'fact,'- no, he didn't Don't know about that. link link 2 link 3 link 4

Yeah, just Quebec.

Yep, mine and pretty much the world's.

An illegal invasion based on groundless evidence, breaking international law in the process. The fact is the U.S. wasn't bound by anything. The Iraq war was driven by three stoogies in Washington: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz and Dick Cheney.

Okay, let me simplify. What rules were the U.S. bound by in going into Iraq?

Please state the rules of engagement for going into Iraq, given that there was no imminent threat? Also where are the rules for taking out Saddam, a dictator the U.S. financially supported for years, a dictator gasing his own people using U.S. aid under the watchful eye of the U.S.?

That's because a small but noisy segment of the population of the west wants the war to be lost, and will cointinue to agitate until it becomes true. Must be why the majority of Americans disapprove of Bush and his war and want the troops brought home.

Nor Conservatives, as it was Brian M. and the P.C.'s who made multiculturalism a law. I don't think any party has a handle on the question.

Yeah, but then there were those nasty crusades and the Spanish Inquistion, and the witch burnings and...........

The economic boom thanks to the regulatory cuts of the Mulroney era. The electorate didn't seem to think so or they wouldn't have decimated the Conservatives in '93.

Ever heard the saying: "the burden of proof lies with the positive claimant"? Perhaps not, eh? I didn't say anything about proof. You did. I was talking about serious study and research that has taken place over the years. Three sites of many are presented. Try and open your mind a little. As I said earlier, this is not appropriate in a thread discussing global warming. Overall, data appear to indicate that genetic factors play some part in the development of sexual orientation link So, I suggest that male homosexuality results, in utero, from an increased ratio of estrone to DHEA. This combination results in the increased growth, and reduced growth of other structures, in the male homosexual brain link link

Too lazy? I thought so.

As this thread has to do with global warming I'm not going to go off on another tangent. My comment had to do with your excusing all the research that has been done. The info is there: do a search.

I think it's more than a few.
