Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Do you know anything about the creation beliefs of Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Jews? Why do you keep bringing that up? What does it have to do with Libby Davies or Stockwell Day? Quote
Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 What socially conservative viewpoints are visible in our laws? The only one I can think of is our cannabis laws, which are badly outdated. There's that, there's prostitution, there's assisted suicide.... Quote
Mr.Canada Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 There's that, there's prostitution, there's assisted suicide.... You're seriously advocating legalized murder now Smallc? Come on, you must be joking. Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog
Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 especially considering that the Alliance was in favour of that shit being taught in schools alongside the theory of evolution. Yeah, that's scary. That just like the Government of Alberta making the learning of the Theory of Evolution optional. Quote

Scotty Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) There's that, there's prostitution, there's assisted suicide.... Prostitution and assisted suicide are illegal in Sweden, and so is grass. Do you think they're a regressive right wing nation ruled by conservatives? Edited April 26, 2011 by Scotty Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy
Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Prostitution and assisted suicide are illegal in Sweden. Do you think they're a regressive right wing nation ruled by conservatives? I think that traditional ideas hold powerful sway, even in the most liberal of countries. Quote
Mr.Canada Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 I think that traditional ideas hold powerful sway, even in the most liberal of countries. Why are all traditional views the enemy and must be changed? Is all tradition evil?

Smallc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Why are all traditional views the enemy and must be changed? Is all tradition evil? Not all of it, but when it comes to social policy, things do need to adapt over time. Quote
Evening Star Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Do you know anything about the creation beliefs of Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims and Jews? Do you know that none of them believe in evolution and that they're much more observant and religious than Canadian Christians? Are you saying that the Sikh, Hindu and Muslim MPs and candidates are all nut jobs? Tell me about the creation beliefs of Hindus. Afaik, there is no single creation myth but a range of conflicting stories from different texts, none of which are taken literally by the vast majority of Hindus that I've ever known. (I'm sceptical that the Hindu community in Canada is much more observant and religious than the Christian community, actually.) I likely would be concerned about e.g. a really dedicated ISKCON follower or Sai Baba devotee entering cabinet. -- Otherwise, you can c&p Smallc's post 25 for me as well.

One on hand I want almost zero gov't intrusion into our lives, sort of a Libertarian type of view, but on the other I think that some societal controls are necessary.

I think allowing assisted suicide would lead to more murders with people saying they wanted me to kill them etc. I'm thinking of honor killings mostly. Don't you see that as a possibility? On a side note Jack is hosting a town hall on Cpac atm.

Letting people kill others legally leaves much to be desired I think most Canadians would agree. On a side note I think legal prostitution could work. If they had it like Vegas where it was outside city limits with bunny ranches etc. Edited April 26, 2011 by Mr.Canada Quote "You are scum for insinuating that isn't the case you snake." -William Ashley Canadian Immigration Reform Blog

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. i'm talking about people who have terminal conditions and meet a set criteria. There would be legal controls in place, and it would have to involve the patient's consent. Quote

Street work isn't legal (probably a good thing) but neither are brothels (probably a bad thing). Quote

fellowtraveller Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist, but there is a large and growing body of evidence to support the notion that Libby Davies is actually Mike Duffy in drag. Has anybody ever seen both of them in the same place at the same time? They look very similar. Quote The government should do something.

Evening Star Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 (In any case, my original point was not that Day should be kicked out of cabinet but that Davies is no more of a threat than he is.) Quote

I don't find much humor in a MP who has made several anti Semitic remarks in the past which her party had to later apologize for. I guess some people could find humor in that but I'm not one of them.
