Tell that to the Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians, and eastern Europeans.

And if that doesn't satisfy you, the Russians being less aggressive is a result of the butt whipping NATO handed them. Don't mess with Texas!

Georgia invaded the break away regions and russia stopped the invasion

russia was in the right

chechens are terrorists btw

funny how canada is all of a sudden moral when it exports killer asbestos to poor countries

More moral than the countries who demand said asbestos and don't use it safely. No demand means no mining.

Wikipedia says that Georgia was responding to shelling meaning the who started the war is up for debate.

So Russia gets a free pass for doing any means necessary for dealing with terrorists, but NATO gets to be mired in red tape. Heads I win tails you lose in your eyes.

if the terrorists are on your border or in your country you can defend yourself if you wish but to go half way across the world to the mid east?

thats far beyond anything russias done in decades

btw, i dont believe russia attacked georgia first but the russians sure knew what was going on before it happened

So you are actually for legalized heroin then?

Nope, asbestos doesn't screw ones mind up and make them unproductive, all it screws up is the lungs like coal mining, working in dust, etc. Although asbestos does it faster.

But if your comparing it to drugs, it still stands, the user is IMO more morally bankrupt than the supplier because without the user wanting to screw himself up, there would be no supplier to begin with.

So you just contradicted yourself.

It appears YOU ARE in favour of legalized heroin.

so youd have no objection to having asbestos in your house...

I am not comparing it to drugs, I am using heroin as an analogy for the type of argument you are presenting in order to sort it out.

So what you are saying is that the user is "more morally bankrupt" than the supplier, so to track it back to the selling of asbestos, you are agreeing with olp1fan that Canada is indeed "morally bankrupt" the only difference being, in your eyes, a mere matter of degrees. And, when talking about bankruptcy - again, an analogy - those matters of degrees are very slight since bankruptcy tends to be an end state before some sort of change is introduced.

See? It isn't very hard for you to agree with olp1fan after all. :D

You could start another thread: War mongering neo cons ready to bomb Syria with disturbed asbestos.

GH is correct. Asbestos in homes is sufficiently safe providing the surface of the insulation isn't broken or exposed to potential mechanical damage. Like coal, it is mainly just a dangerous material to mine.

Do you always pull facts out your ass, or have you done any research on this at all Comrad....

We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
