monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 I googled it and I found that Alberta has the highest rate of incest of all the provinces. Please try it too because I can't post links for some reason. And I equate incest with hillbillies for good reason. In the US it's Alabama I believe. I don't know if Alberta is similar to Alabama in any way other than both have rather extreme right political views on the whole. Quote
Argus Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Right on Peter F, and we aren't interested in remaking Canada into another land of the gun where they shoot doctors who help women. Do you think Sweden is such a country?

I don't know if Alberta is similar to Alabama in any way other than both have rather extreme right political views on the whole. Which is why it elected a Muslim mayor. Perhaps you could enlighten us about the 'extreme right' political views of Alberta, as I'm certain you're quite the expert. Also, provide a cite for your incest claim, if you please. And no, wiki is not an acceptable cite.

monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Argus, If you doubt that Alberta is highest in incest in Canada then show otherwise. I don't really have a horse in the race other than to speculate on my findings. Your evidence to the contrary would be worth evaluating. If you don't accept that Alberta is extreme right politically then perhaps you can accept that Alberta is 'more' right politically than other provinces. And again, if you don't accept that then show evidence to say otherwise. Quote

So let me translate this as "Well, no, I don't have any evidence to support anything I say, so would you be so kind as to give me some?" And the answer is... no. You say Alberta has the most extreme political views in Canada but you don't even know what they are?!

monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 ARgus, Respectfully, you have my answer and if you choose to not accept it then the onus is on you to show evidence that says otherwise. And now I think I'll just leave it with you because I detect anger in your posts as opposed to a will to learn something and discuss it calmly. Quote
Spiderfish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 My goodness! Attacking opinions by declaring contrary opinions? Why, that almost sounds like politics. JT did not declare a contrary opinion, he declared that members of his party are forbidden from holding an opposing opinion to his. Quote

And now I think I'll just leave it with you because I detect anger in your posts as opposed to a will to learn something and discuss it calmly. Actually, the onus is on you to support your claim. That's just the way it is here. And if you can't support a claim, then don't make it. From the Rules and Gudelines. Research Your Post If you are stating a fact, be prepared to back it up with some official sources (websites, links etc). It is also important to structure your post in a way that everyone can understand. That means writing complete sentences and paragraphs with the appropriate grammar. If for some reason, you enjoy writing long confusing sentences and paragraphs riddled with poor grammar and spelling mistakes, your post, and therefore your opinions, will likely be discarded. Therefore, it is in your best interest to make sure that your post includes sufficient sources and contains a well-researched and well-organized argument Edited May 12, 2014 by Argus Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Spiderfish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 On this I am glad JT set a party position on such an important ethical issue. I think decisions such as this are necessary when a party plans to allow MPs to think, speak and engage with their constituents autonomously. I agree, defining the party position clearly allows future MP's to decide for themselves if they want to be involved in a party with such a hard-line stance on the issue. It also allows voters to judge for themselves whether the party truly represents their view. The issue of abortion aside, I personally would have a problem supporting a leader who feels his moral view trumps everyone in his party and everyone they have been chosen to represent. Quote
Spiderfish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 he's defining a party that has lacked definition. This is what people wanted. Now that they're getting it, he's criticized for it. I think it's refreshing, and have been looking for him to show some stance on his/Liberal policy. Good on him for getting into the game. Quote
Boges Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Is this just the beginning for JT? Will he start whipping candidates for other issues? If you don't approve of a Carbon Tax, don't run for the Liberals. If you don't think MJ should be legal don't run for the Liberals. Edited May 12, 2014 by Boges Quote
Spiderfish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Now, those hillbillies that want to control women's right to choose can vote Conservative. They're not Liberals anyway. It's hard to understand who Trudeau was trying to sway with this decision. Was he trying to appeal to the women vote, the feminist vote? It seems the only people who would be impressed by this decision are voters who have basically already decided to give his party their vote, so all he's really done is alienate potential supporters of his party. Quote
Spiderfish Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 I agree that there are many different views on what restrictions women should have regarding their pregnancies. Personally, i do not consider such restrictions valid. I see no validity in accepting third parties determining whether some other person can abort or not. What about selective gender abortions?

monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Argus Please! I've stated my claim that Alberta is the highest province in incest rates. I've had researched it and found a link that said just that! And I've already told you that I can't post links here for some reason. Would you like to help me discover why I can't? When I can post links I'll give you the one I found. Until then I would just respectfully request that you stop harassing me. Thanks! Quote

monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks Guyser but I know how to cut and paste. I can copy a web address but when I come to the reply box it won't allow me to paste. I don't know if it's got something to do with this forum or it's a glitch with my computer. I can cut, copy, and paste with no trouble elsewhere. Quote
Peter F Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) What about selective gender abortions? What you are suggesting is that a woman must justify her reason for procuring an abortion to some sort of committee. Such a committee will then approve or deny her wanted abortion. I cannot abide that control of third-parties over a woman's body. What about selective gender abortions? A woman gets to end her pregnancy for whatever reason.

A woman gets to end her pregnancy for whatever reason. So you're okay with aborting baby girls because we don't like baby girls? In fact, the decision is usually that of the husband and family, putting extreme pressure on the pregnant woman to abort the female fetus and then get pregnant again to try and produce a male.

monty16 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Posted May 12, 2014 A woman's decision for abortion would absolutely never be questioned. Period! It is our social responsibility to educate both women and men on effective birth control methods that prevent unwanted pregnancies. As well as being socially responsible in other areas that don't only prevent abortions. We are NOT the united states. And we are not going to allow Harper and his ghouls to turn us into that sort of sick sideshow. Quote

I've never had to deal with that little box on any forum before. And now for a little more help if you would. I can't quote a post of another here on this forum. The 'quote' button doesn't work for me either. Quote
