well said habs. Men don't mistreat women because they're moslem, they mistreat them because they're bastards
The town of Herouxville, Que., wants immigrants that fit in with its citizens

Hi, you really need to think outside of the box. How were you brought up? A Jewish family raises their kids up the way they want. It's all fair and good. The kid does not know what right or wrong so there is no cruelty there. Don't let your emotions control you.
Part of the genuine democratic process invarably involves change, we cannot drag all of the values and standards from the past with us, certainly I have respect and love for the things left behind, but this is another time, tradition does count for something but it can't stand in the way of necessitys of today.The sacrifice of our ancestors is routinely forgotten, monuments turn to dust the graves are cultivated the decentents forget and build new realitys.We cannot live in the past no matter how comfortable it is. I remember old Canada differently, its values and standards are not completely what's required for today, much of it still exists in the fabric of the country, but only those parts that serve the time we live in.Evolution is powerful, tradition never wins.Some of our old traditions were not so nice, I would not see them repeated. Wake up it's 2005.:laughing7::laughing7::wave:
What's on its way out? The Catholic School system? Hardly! It is strong and vibrant, like the public system. It is not going to die out of the country anytime soon.
Or are you talking about the Church? Do you seriously think the Catholic Church is dying out? With over 1 billion members at last count, not in the near future. And making up 65% of those who profess a religious belief in Canada does not suggest it is dying out here anytime soon either.
I assure you, should you reply, I am quite prepared with facts and figures on the state of the Church in this country, or the world.
My suggestion for the whole immigration issues...
Let the aboriginal people decide, give them power!

Il Barto, just a word of very friendly advice, I wouldn't take on Sanctus about the Catholic church if I were you.
I'm not Catholic, but I'd lay my money on him easily
I'm not Catholic, but I'd lay my money on him easilyI was keeping it in Quebec . Herouxville is not in europe or any other contenant.
here the churches are empting out , that I see here , so debate that!
on who?Il Barto, just a word of very friendly advice, I wouldn't take on Sanctus about the Catholic church if I were you.
Sanctus. You're new, so I'll be the one to tell you. Sanctus is a Catholic priest, and he is talking about Canada. I think he's in Ontario?
Yeah and I'm from quebec and I am not talking about the churches there. but here!
The catholic church was a puppet master to the french here in the past. Now we're selling the churches for condo's . My personal opinion the catholic church it was based on a lie, a very old one. Forget the bible ,the history of the church is based on manipulation and coruption.
Due to this thred on reasonable accomodation my opinions was pretty much against the muslum and jewish comunity. (where most of the contraversy plays)
but I hear that the true muslim faith (unfortunate for the present bad exposure) is the most tolerant.
With what we hear around the world it's hard to believe but the lines are always blurred when it gets to the TV in our homes.
Yes and many did the same using the bible.
Tell me , the bible is just a bunch of stories where would one get the word of god out of that?
DB, we do have to change. Time won't allow us to stay still. But we also need to feel we are part of the agency that makes those decisions for our nation. Parliaments need to change too. Our government regardless of the party in power still invests far too much power in the office of the leader. Our MP's, our only voice, are silenced when their views (hopefully those that are manifest in their riding) conflict with those of their party. If we are to evolve, surely that evolution should occur on a number of collaborative fronts and occur, as is the wont of democracy, in an inclusive manner.
I don'y know about that. Although the poor man was at a weak point, I did happen to make the priest tell me to "GO F**K YOURSELF".
I'm a light weight El Barto, there are people here who are considerably better then I.
Juan's pretty darn good, sanctus has his moments, Curiousity is a beacon of passiona and peace, gopher is pretty sharp(when he isn't hiding inuendo or insulting people), ITN is a sharp cookie, Colpy is bang on, darkbeaver has near brought me to my knees, Dexter Sinister is brighter then spot light, and there are mounds of others that are equaly well heeled on their topics of choice. I'm not the end all that for sure, I'm more of an aggressive badger, I knaw away until you give up, lol.
But hey, thanx for the props, I do like a good ego strokin'!
