As I wrote, Bear, you are a fool and a liar. You post nothing of substance. You twist and misrepresent others. You, frankly, are showing yourself to be rather a slimy character. You try to cover your weaknees by attacking others.

But, you cannot do that intelligently.

Now are you really really sure?

The sky is falling never gets old. Personally, I can't see where Harper can really do any worse than they who have wiped their feet on our backs before him

The trouble with normal is it keeps getting worse.

And if the experts on climate change are right then Harper and the rest of the deniers in power can do a whole lot more damage to human civilization in total than all the psychopaths in history combined.

The way I see it is we've got a choice, we can turn the other cheek and let the current abusers of power have their way with us or stand up and demand real change for real benefit for all of us.

What's the point in having a democracy if you're not going to use it?

Huh????

Huh is right!

I explained that right at the start. Not that it should have needed any explanation to anyone with more than fluff between his ears and a desire to do more than suck up to the dumb teddy. As all you twits are doing. I will take that teddy on any time, And taht is his problem. He cannot "bear" the thought of not being able to lord it over others.

Good to see someone trying to keep to intelligent discussion instead of letting Teddy destroy it.

Ya, I saw that.

DaS did something you can't, he supplied the evidence that backs up the fact that you are a liar.

You post nothing of substance.
Only when I quote you.

You twist and misrepresent ideologues.
FIFY.

You, frankly, are showing yourself to be rather a slimy character.
That has proven time and time again, you're full of sh!t.

You try to cover your weaknees by attacking others.
I agree, you are weak.

Frankly, CB, what you are concluding is pure nonsense. .

But, you cannot do that intelligently.
And yet I've proven you wrong, time and time again.

I explained that right at the start.
Your explanation was a lie, it doesn't match your posts.

Not that it should have needed any explanation to anyone with more than fluff between his ears and a desire to do more than suck up to the dumb teddy. As all you twits are doing.
My my more of your stellar weakness.

I will take that teddy on any time, And taht is his problem.
Not that your claim isn't another lie. Why? You keep getting pwnd?

He cannot "bear" the thought of not being able to lord it over others.
Lord what?

Good to see someone trying to keep to intelligent discussion instead of letting Teddy destroy it.
Ahhh yes, he agrees with you, so he's good, lol.

How weak.

I have asked for example if you read the reports on the Royal Commisssion on Somalia- Your reply was it was completed - yet it states in the report, by the people the Govt appointed it was not. And no reply.

I asked why only 1 person was charged - a Private - whom I have met and yes we disccussed the incident for quite some time. I am also ex Army. And yes it was a frank talk - man to man-

If you know a way to get someone with power to go counter to what he/she holds sacred, more power to you. Until then, short of a coup, all you can do is make waves like anyone else.
You're still democratically free to do so.

And a whole lot of ridicule.

How much of what a lot of us truly value will be left by then?



It comes before that in holding our government to account, democracy is about much more than just showing up to vote.

Maybe it is your values that are out of sync with the rest of the population.While I am certainly no fan of Harper or his fundie backers I have noticed that the economy is doing much better and taxes are lower than under the previous Liberal government. People that are willing to get out and work are doing well.
Now if you are a freeloader it may not look so good.
Harper did remove the longgun registry as promised and if you value freedom this is indeed a step in the right direction.
BTW I did not vote for the cons either.

Goober! I don't give a dam about why only one person was charged. Nobody that I can see is debating the rights and wrongs of the affair or the treatment. And how could a report not be completed if it was completed.

That is not what it says.

That is your problem- A person provides a link - states that the commission reports they were not finished - yet you consider it complete- And why only 1 person was charged is critical to that - but is senseless for me to explain why - as you do not give a damm- and it was OK as Chretien perverted the Justice system. Guess that makes it OK in your mind. I mean Chretien used the RCMP to harass the Chair of a Crown Corp - Oh yes and that guy won his lawsuit if you are interested.

Your lack of a question mark aside. No one said it was never completed.

Stop lying and misrepresenting what people have said. It makes you look weak.

Bbbut Goob's, it wasn't Hitl... er, Harper that did it. So it either didn't happen that way, or it's irrelevant.

Did I make a mistake in thinking this forum was a place where intelligent discussion took place? Is it just a "Teddy Bears' picnic.

Teddy could do the world a service by donation his brain to science. It would be the only human brain that could be used as a super conductor without cooling it to absolute zero and thus becoming inert with no movement of its parts.

Science would give much to unravel the secret.
