On Guard for Thee Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I suppose, in a sense, given the point of the topic was to insult those who are rational thinking people, not hopelessly ignorant progressive dreamers with no grounding in reality. No, the point of the thread is islamophobia. But there are those it seems who lose track and fall back into the insult game.
Smallc Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Walk down around Jane/Finch at midnight tonight, then. I've walked in Winnipeg's north end at midnight, and it's a far more dangerous neighbourhood.
Smallc Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 When dealing with progressives, it's important to keep the message simple and short. Not that you would ever insult anyone.
Argus Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Not that you would ever insult anyone. I'm not speaking of anyone specifically. I'm speaking of the mindset, which favors simple solutions and sweeps complexities aside impatiently. That's why we'll have a fifty billion dollar deficit next year. People like Trudeau aren't concerned with the nuts and bolts of things they want to do. they have IDEAS, you see, and don't want to hear about complications. What's money anyway? Real progressives don't care about money or budgets! They have IDEAS! They're making the world a better place! Worrying about money is beneath them! "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
On Guard for Thee Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Not that you would ever insult anyone. Or devolve into sheer sarcasm.
eyeball Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Islam is a religion. Not a race. You and I could convert today..."radicalize" during the week...blow-up the K-Mart by Friday prayers. Sounds more like an LSD binge. It's just too surreal to do anything but laugh and suggest laying off the mushrooms. I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
eyeball Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Walk down around Jane/Finch at midnight tonight, then. You could have said the same thing 45 years ago about Jane/Finch. I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Leaving the question of Islam completely out of it... if you were a single, non-Jewish woman, would you willingly choose to live in a Hasidic area of Jerusalem, or even a Hasidic enclave like Williamsburg New York? -k I dunno know. Maybe. If I were a struggling artist or just looking for cheap rent, maybe. I can handle living amongst folks unlike me. I'm a curious gal so I would look on it as an opportunity to explore another side of life. I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Walk down around Jane/Finch at midnight tonight, then. What is the demographics of this neighbourhood? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
eyeball Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 It's always been a tough one. I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
Michael Hardner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I'm speaking of the mindset, which favors simple solutions and sweeps complexities aside impatiently. I see. We can try to iterate such thinking into the finely woven and layered complexities of Trump's thinking, I suppose. Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Well so is the DTES but I recall there are no Muslims. Which is why I'm wondering Argus mentioned that neighbourhood. What is his point? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Well so is the DTES but I recall there are no Muslims. Which is why I'm wondering Argus mentioned that neighbourhood. What is his point? The Jamia Masjid is in the DTES area. Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 The Jamia Masjid is in the DTES area. And you would be concerned for your safety with them in the neighbourhood? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Pardon...the Masjid Omar Al-Farooq on E 10th. Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 And you would be concerned for your safety with them in the neighbourhood? You said there were no Muslims. I fear no individual unless he's armed. Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Pardon...the Masjid Omar Al-Farooq on E 10th. That's not the DTES. I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 That's not the DTES. I said area. Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 I said area. 10th east is no where near the DTES. I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 10th east is no where near the DTES. To me it is close...but then that's rather subjective. Since when was the DTES a Muslim free zone? Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 To me it is close...but then that's rather subjective. Since when was the DTES a Muslim free zone? Did I say it wasn't? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Did I say it wasn't? "Well so is the DTES but I recall there are no Muslims. Which is why I'm wondering Argus mentioned that neighbourhood. What is his point?" Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 To me it is close...but then that's rather subjective. Close enough to make you nervous? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
DogOnPorch Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 Close enough to make you nervous? I fear no individual unless he/she is carrying a weapon and I am not. Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
WestCoastRunner Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 "Well so is the DTES but I recall there are no Muslims. Which is why I'm wondering Argus mentioned that neighbourhood. What is his point?" I have no idea what you are getting at? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
