WestCoastRunner Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 What do you think would have happened if 30 anti-abortionists had their guns seized because of what they might do? I think they are missing your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCanMan Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 No one could pull it off like him. No one could give half the country the finger like he did and still get elected again. He was an asshole whose face was on more dartboards than any other politician in the history of Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) The sad thing is that this is all a self fulfilling prophecy. The fake "Global War on Terror" and the incredibly stupid things western countries have done in its name virtually guaranteed attacks on our soil, actually dramatically increased the threat of terrorism. And its a vicious circle. Each time they do something stupid and self destructive, we respond by doing something even more stupid, and self destructive, radicalizing more and more people against us, then the chances of those radicals attacking us go way up, more attacks will happen, and our response will escalate. Rinse and repeat. Stupid things happen to stupid people I guess. The GWOT has quite literally CREATED a whole generation of terrorists. And flying our little planes around the middle east dropping bombs on people has put Canadians at great risk. Its really too bad that the people on our side who promote or support violence (conservative chickenhawks) and the people on their side who promote violence (conservative radicalized assholes and religious nuts) couldn't just fight each other in a gigantic stadium with weapons like swords, sticks, maces, stones, etc. It would be fun as hell to watch and we could generate revenue from the sale of things like beer, hot dogs etc that could be used to fund valid programs, infrastructure, etc. Edited December 10, 2015 by dre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Those poor, peaceful Muslims were just praying and minding their own business, and want nothing more than to live in peace with the world. They've been demonstrating as much since the 6th century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when will the conquerors be reporting for life on reserves and residential schools ? Might cause some more sleeper cells in Norte America.

Yeah if you ignore 400 years of total western economic and military hegemony, the Muslims have been nothing but trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 They were certainly no more a problem than anyone we chose to deal with honourably. Honorably? An interesting concept. I presume you mean we should, given they were just poor, pathetically backward people, not civilized like us, look after their interests for them during negotiations and agreements since they clearly weren't intelligent enough to look after their own interests like, well, White people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ottoman Empire ran most of the middle east until they lost WW1. They were a cruel and rapacious empire, who expanded to the limits of their military power for centuries, including destroying the Byzantiums and attacking western Europe. How do you think we were guilty of anything during their rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interests couldn't be plainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
