[quote]First things first: Screw the Canadians, people get the government they deserve.[/quote] We actually have the most conservative government in power right now than we've had in a looong time. And as I stated at the beginning of this article, as a Canadian citizen I have far more rights and freedoms than U.S citizens do thanks to your wonderful Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act of 2006. Seeing as your government found a way to succ

[quote]Your blind hatred for Christianity has taken you this far?[/quote] Tee hee!! KFC, this may shock you but I'm a christian. I have no hatred towards christianity at all. I do believe the church has been deeply perverted by money, politics and a whole host of factors. Next I am assuming that you will tell me because of my stated beliefs there is no way I'm a 'real' christian. Let's cut all of that pointless rhetoric out right now and save everyone from another cycl

Reply to The Word on Creationism in Religion Stardock Forums

Leauki, Excellent article. On this particular topic I agree with you 100% Unfortunately you posted a quoted paragraph that contains the words "vertebrate retina" and "optic nerve" which will no doubt cause many eyes to glaze over (nothing wrong with the paragraph, it's our on-demand instant gratification culture that's to blame) Saying that God did it all is so much more easy and comfortable and leaves more room in our brains to watch American Idol, or read the Left Behind books! <

Reply to If Bin Laden is killed or captured, would it change... in War on Terror Stardock Forums

tee hee!! whenever Bush brings up Bin Laden I start to chortle... although he is the man who is directly responsible for masterminding and controlling the organization that's responsible for 9/11, Bush decides to...... go after Saddam instead! Bush SHOULD have thrown everything and the kitchen sink into getting Bin Laden, but instead he puts on a little side show in Afghanistan, then six years later says "oh shucks, kinda forgot about that guy.... let's try and git 'im now!!"

[quote]In an effort to further the radical homosexual agenda[/quote] Radical agenda? Yes, the effort to enjoy the same rights and protections as everyone else is indeed radical. Hate crimes legislation do not elevate any particular group over another... if anything, it levels the playing field. As I said earlier, most of the use of the so-called "radical" hate crimes legislation in Canada has been well used by Jewish groups far more than

On other points, we diverge. A little clarification first; As your article states, this is being carried out under B.C legislation.

Collateral Damage: What it Means to go to War in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Here is an excellent book just released that I would urge everyone to read. Chris Hedges has been a foreign correspondent since the early 80's, covering conflicts from Latin America to the Middleast to the Balkans. His earlier book "War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning" was one of the pivotal works that changed much of my opinion on foreign policy and our place in the world. I would also recommend this book as well! ~From <A href="http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/150

[quote]Verify that statement. Maybe I'm far above middle class, but I'm well out of debt.[/quote] Congratulations, and good for you! If that is the case then you are the exception to the rule as most folks are up to their eyeballs in debt. There's a wonderful movie you should see called "in debt we trust" The average American spends far more than they make in a year thanks to an over-abundance of predatory credit, the availability to use your home as an ATM with equity schemes and

This comes off as a very thinly veiled attempt at absolving yourself of any bias when indeed there is much present. Stop mucking around, fess&

I'm not in any way defending his handling of the crisis but all of the hostages made it out alive, no? And that failed operation lead to the creation of a whole military apparatus for overseas operations that have served the U.S very well and saved many American lives since. [quote]and gas lines

Doing that would be akin to saying that since Allen made his 'macaca' comment that all republicans are racist. It's one man'

The worst offenders in my books are the car salesmen. Used car salesmen. A friend of mine was looking to get a decent used car for a reasonable price. Nothing fancy, the kind of vehicle that won't break your wallet and you're not ashamed to be seen in. So we look around a bit and find a 2003 generic with good miles and a really decent price. Almost getting into the "too good to be true" category but not quite. Only thing is, it's being advertised by a dealershi
