jbg Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 In modern times, we can only speak of property transfers; the real problem is the compensation for very first appropriation. I guess the original owners of the Great Rift Valley will become quite wealthy by your idea. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
jbg Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Don't be so fetishistic about the rules of law. Are you saying someone has a constitution fetish? Sounds kinky.

benny Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Does "post-modern" mean "medieval" since medieval was post- a civilized period of human history, the Roman Empire? Modernity began with René Descartes; post-modernity (or second modernity), with Jean-François Lyotard. http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/.../fr/lyotard.htm Quote

kimmy Posted June 14, 2009 Report Posted June 14, 2009 It means a state with a "notwithstanding clause" in its Constitution. What's so "post modern" about the "notwithstanding clause"? If that's the definition of a "postmodern state", then the distinction of being a "postmodern state" is completely inane. Paul Martin didn't put the "notwithstanding clause" in the constitution anyway, so I can't imagine what he has to do with Canada being "postmodern". -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
