I always love how Canadians always seem to know so much more about our history than we do. Who should we give Canada back to?
This is because we think education is important and we don't forbid science or Darwin in schools so people believe in religious fantasies, if we did, we would have a lot more people like you.
You really help to aid in the Coulter stereotypes that bother many of us. I really do not know when the last time was I heard such ignorant draconia statements made. So you hate the US. Fine. It all makes sense now...
"science or darwin" That is so true, you can study science or darwinism. but the 2 are not the same. Kind of like putting the fiction in with non-fiction.
For the record Science, and the teachings of Darwin's Theory of Evolution are not banned in the US Public School system. I went to both Catholic and Public schools, we discused Darwin in both
OK, You got me, you found 1 Canadian that are education system was not able to help. On the other hand, we as a country were smart enough to ignore her and she couldn't get a job here, so she had to move to USA and what happened there, she gets a job on TV and becomes a spoke woman for republicans. No wonder USA, is called the land of opportunities, even the idiots can represent a big political party ideology. I don't hate USA, I lived there and have many American friends and I specially love American women from California and part of Texas, much better looking than Canadians. What I strongly dislike is illiterate, bible waving people that their whole view about the world is formed by stories that they have heard from a illiterate preacher back home.
What are you talking about? She was born and raised in Connecticut. I'm not sure she ever lived in Canada. She Graduated cum laude from Cornell and has a JD from Michigan. Not too shabby on the education front. For someone that says things like: Canada is "lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent" I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I doubt someone from Canada would say something like that about Canada. Are you sure you and I are talking about the same person here? Now why is it when someone has an opinion that differs from yours they suddenly become labeled a bible waiving illiterate? Why are you so angry all the time?
gworld where is AnthonyCea when you need him??? Why do people always resort to name calling ie: bigot, bible waving, ignorant, illiterate, whever a belief is challanged?
Because Rob is trying to be a part of the "big boys" chat, but simply doesn't have a clue. The cheap, easy way is stand up and yell Racist, Bigot! It takes no effort nor any skill. There's a dhimmi in every crowd Was there Bible waiving? I must have missed that. Or was someone claiming it was going on when it wasn't. That's a popular one too!
OBS! I made a mistake and NOT AFRAID TO ADMIT. Because we were talking about Canada, I mixed up her with our Canadian version Rachel Marsden, 2 faces, same stupid arguments. I am not angry and I would like to discuss this in logical matter and if you look at my first post in this thread, you will see that in my opinion this problem has got nothing to do with religion. It is mia and Gtech that bring up bible and Islam in to the discussion all the time.
I call 'em like I see 'em, big guy! It's fine for someone to call me a terrorist supporter? But when I call someone a bigot or a racist all hell breaks loose and the game is no longer fair?
I wasn't really pointing at Rob on that comment, but rob I don't see him being a bigot a racist in any of his comments, but the a-rab one could be seen as that by someone just the same as saying blacks in a sentence stirs up people to say racist. When I was in the Dominican Republic, the people there thought the US was pretty funny with all of the PC (politically correct) crap. PC police are the ones keeping up the tension between races in this country! I find guys like Jesse jackson to be as offensive and racist as the white-supremists.
I'm no "PC freak", trust me! And I'm not easily offended. It's just classless to call arabs "A-rabs" and refer to their holy book as the "Crayon". THAT is driving the tension between races in this country! Besides, Gtech and mia admitted that they don't care for muslims. So, end of story- IMO.
Isn't it interesting that this debate is about how to stop terror and yet this thread is an example of how it can seem impossible to reconcile, even with the common repulsion of the hatred that drives terror.
gworld, your opinion that it's not about religion has no substance to back it up, nor have you put forth any effort in validating that claim. In fact, I even took the time to carry the discussion that direction, but when I asked why other religions were not chopping off heads, blowing up trains and subways, etc, you just skipped right over it. When I noted the article that shows terrorists are not poverty stricken lost souls and how one of the London bombers had a new red Mercedes, you skipped right over it. I don't think you want to, nor can you, discuss it at that level, because what suggest simply isn't true. Between you and I, I know what you are doing and I know why. We know the truth, right? It is about religion and pretending otherwise creates and aura of foolishness. How can there be a discussion about terrorism if you cannot even acknowledge islam's role in contributing to the problem? Again, there is a difference between hatred and being aware. You either do not want to be aware, or are attempting to deceive others. How does that benefit the discussion?
Racism means discrimination based upon race, but the meaning can be extended to religion, gender, etc... Most, if not all, muslim countries are actually very much more racist (in the extended sense) than western countries, that's why this thread and most posts are allowed to stay... That would not happen in most, if not all, the typical islamic countries. So who's racist? So go and tell them they are racists and be prepared for a completely different response... Even if you don't accept that, there's still discrimination enough for a riots and eventually a full scale revolution anywhere in the west. Our life is so different, that maybe there's nothing we can do about it and periodically we have to confront them. Of course defending our countries, our culture and our future is at least as right as those people defending theirs.
No problem. I just wanted to know because it was quite possible I was wrong. And if I was, would be right there with you, not afraid to admit it. When did I bring up the bible? I have been labeled "bible waiving", but I do not remember waiving a bible around this thread. Again I could be wrong.
