benny Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Great idea! Let's end overseas wars... by bringing our enemies right to Canada! -k Just like legislating harsh CO2 cap can lead a country of invent technologies that can become extraordinarily valuable, attracting terrorists can lead to invent psychological methods that can be as profitable.

kimmy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Talk about Fox Network propaganda! They treat world issues with juvenile sarcasm. What other possible response could one have to the suggestion that we could create world peace by bringing more people like the Khadr family to Canada? I thought I was the model of restraint. If people don't wish to be ridiculed, they should stop posting ridiculous things. Just like legislating harsh CO2 cap can lead a country of invent technologies that can become extraordinarily valuable, attracting terrorists can lead to invent psychological methods that can be as profitable. So you're saying that we could create world peace by bringing terrorists here and developing psychological means of "curing" them? I take it back, that's not ridiculous at all. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Oleg Bach Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Khadr is Muslim. No - he just came from a stupid and reationary family....It was a young Muslim boy that brought a drink of water to my sick child while she lay in a hospital bed - it depends on the family values and heart - whether Jew or Muslim or Christian - mean spirited traditions exist in all of these groups - for instance my super anglo mother in law would kill you if she could get away with it - I class her as a terrorist in my book..

Ah, you're acknowledging your conscious urge to equate Islam with violence every chance you get. Maybe if we stop that habit, Muslim terrorists would stop their habit too....

I put "cure" in quotation marks because I do not believe they are ill. Believing in extremism is not a recognized disorder. It is simply a fact that not everybody believes the same things. If someone believes that women should not be allowed to go to school or leave the home, that doesn't necessarily mean he has any condition that can be "cured". It does make him my enemy, but it doesn't mean he requires psychological treatment. It means that we have deeply opposed values. That's so true, Kimmy. If Ann Coulter wanted to be respected, she wouldn't have tried writing. These Ann Coulter, FOX News barbs you keep throwing at me highlight how little substance you have to offer. ooo. An extra dose of juvenile sarcasm there. Will you never understand Benny or do you purposely misunderstand? Let's recall what he actually wrote: Just like legislating harsh CO2 cap can lead a country of invent technologies that can become extraordinarily valuable, attracting terrorists can lead to invent psychological methods that can be as profitable. That's pretty straightforward. He thinks Canada could bring terrorists here and provide psychological treatment for them. His only objection to my interpretation was that I put "curing" in quotation marks. I'm not telepathic. I can only interpret what he wrote. If he meant something other than what he wrote, he will need to learn how to express his ideas better. If one sentence answers are not adequate to adequately express his ideas, perhaps he can move up to 2 sentences, or even whole paragraphs. Since you feel I did not understand his statement, why don't you provide us *your* interpretation? You volunteered to act as his interpreter earlier on; you're certainly doing a piss-poor job of it so far. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

kimmy Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 To find my belief not ridiculous, you have to share this belief somehow. I would have to believe in your theory to not find it ridiculous? It seems to me that if a theory can only be explained to people who already believe in it, it can't have much merit. So, your explanation of the presence of inverted commas on "cured" is not reasonable. It's perfectly reasonable: you can't cure people who aren't ill. They're wrong, but they're not ill. Perhaps you should explain your ideas better. Perhaps you should explain what kind of psychological treatment you would provide to terrorists once we have brought them to Canada. By believing something not reasonable, you are showing yourself close to your "enemy". I am open-minded, but I am not willing to accept every goofy idea that someone comes up with. Bringing terrorists to Canada to provide them with psychological treatment is a goofy idea on the face of it; you will have to work very hard to convince people otherwise. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
