What should we have done with the Tamil ship?

[g_bambino]

But the fact is Sri Lanka didn't adopt anything on their own...

Odd, it would seem that the Sri Lankans created two new constitutions after they gained independence in 1948. Who forced those on them?

Me bad..you only wanted to sell it as if it was drugs...

You're lying again. Thanks for the link that proves it.

Speaking of huckstering drugs, how did a street-level dope-dealer like you ever make it to C-suite toady, slime your way up through the mail room?

[eyeball]

So you prefer the Tamil hegemony...as I said.

Liar.

In Eyeballs own words, universal suffrage is a perverted form of democracy

Liar.

poor Eyeball....such a tenuous grasp on reality...

Don't colonize countries that don't belong to you, disavow any connections to empires that do, and don't pick sides in the conflicts they create.

It is pretty clear you prefer the status qua over what happened. The status qua was Tamil hegemony.

Suck it up...

[M.Dancer]

Liar.

Did you or did you not say call Sri lankan democracy, perverted?

the perverted version of democracy that was forced on them by the British

Why yes you did.

You think universal suffrage is perverted.

Or is saying "you think" goiing to far...shouldi have said, you emote?

I don't think you even have a tenuous grasp on reality...

I confirmed this in discussions with Health Canada officials. I was also informed I couldn't use the same federally and provincially inspected and licenced packaging room I use for putting kelp into bags. If I wanted to put it into capsules I'd have to use a seperate room and equipment.

I simply cannot afford this and so this bill has put me and apparently thousands of ther small producers out of business.

Why then again would you want to put so called food, in a capsule, unless it was to be seen as <cough> medicinal?

Never mind...we know why...you are the snake oil salesman...

What a shame that your most coherent arguments are simply lame ass flames...

Actually, immigrants to Canada are colonizing her. The proof is all around us in the ethnic enclaves immigrants have built for themselves, mostly in our large urban cities. Our heritage and traditions are being eroded away oh so slowly, we hardly notice it. Trudeau's grand experiment has taken an unexpected turn.

http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2010/08/18/george-jonas-beware-the-colonizers/

You're suggesting these immigrants are forcing a new type of government on Canada and setting it up in such a way that our natural tensions will escalate into violent ethnic conflict like they did in Sri Lanka?

By the way it's not just in our large urban cities the process you describe started. I likewise live in an enclave that immigrant/colonists built for themselves. These eroded the original inhabitants heritage and traditions albeit a little more noticeably, to such a point they live on little parcels of land called reserves.

What goes around comes around. Notice that yet?

You do understand, I hope, that pretty much extant urban, and many agrarian civilizations were pretty much built by invasion. Heck, Sri Lanka is an awfully good example of how the Aryan invasions into the subcontinent a few millennia forced sweeping changes on the entire region, pushing a lot of populations southward as Indo-Aryans conquered more and more.

In principle, I agree that forced colonization isn't a nice thing, and yet it has been a constant of history. Take the British Isles. They were initially populated by a "long-skulled" people possibly out of Spain or North Africa (the Iberians). The Celts came along, and these people pretty much disappear from the archaeological record. Then the Romans come along, bang the crap out of the Celts, except in Scotland and Ireland. Then the Angles, Saxons and Jutes come along, crush the Celto-Romanic kingdoms that had grown up after the Roman pullout. Then the Normans come along and seize the Anglo-Saxon kingdom (which formed only after a lot of bloodshed).

Because people I sold it to asked me to supply it that way. I simply wanted to respond to my customers demand for my product but the government said no.

I guess I could have just sold it on the street. How could anyone with your background object to that?

Then kindly withdraw your "liar:" comment. You now admit you wanted to sell it as if it were a drug, packaged as a drug.

The principle is this. Canada is not strong enough to stand on its own. We have to ally ourselves with like-minded states, even if those states at times have done some nasty things. What's the alternative?

We can't afford to live in your world, because your world doesn't actually exist. There's a real world out there that requires international co-operation, and it also requires pragmatism. If there's one thing you are not, it's pragmatic. Of course it's a luxury you can afford, because you are in a position of absolutely no influence.

Why, because capsules are normally associated with ...food?

You aren't very honest at heart are you?

By the same token, citizens are not strong enough to stand on their own. They need as many fellow citizens who also don't like being oppressed to stand with them in case their state decides to do nasty things.

No, I'd say the world requires principles. Without them the alternative is, the world as it actually exists.

Sometimes, as packaging.

Infinitely honest compared to you.

I doubt the bird brains in Toronto were anarcho-syndicalists...Probably pissant upper middle class kids with far too much time on their hands who feel they have to be angry at...something...

What if you do one day and the state says, "we're just being pragmatic"?

What if it's a friend or someone you love who's being oppressed? What if it's you?

Prove it.

Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (GIA) has released a comprehensive global report on the food encapsulation market, which shows that the market is projected to reach about $39 billion by the year 2015.

No I meant as food. You know...that people eat...Not as an industry additive.
