(I didn't see this posted so if it has, moderators please delete this thread.) So its okay to insult Jesus and Bush, and defecate on an American flag, but God forbid if you draw a comic of Muhammed! Talk about Western guilt...

This is from another thread, but I wanted to pursue it further, so I started a fresh thread. English Canada is very similar to America, and the reflexive response from Canadians is to differentiate Canada from America, if not bash them outright (which is also a sign of insecurity and...

I've noticed a recent influx of Australians onto this board. Are you trying to soften us up and infiltrate us so you can take over our country? Will we soon be downing pints of Castlemaine XXXX and chomping on vegemite sandwiches? What's the deal Aussies? Or are you really Californians...

I've posted this elsewhere but I'll post it here as well since its creeping into another thread Fascinating study from Argentina on what happens when people own property. Link

I'm having a discussion with two intelligent posters about whether or not Canada should pay the pensions of Bloc MPs if Quebec separates in another thread. As a background, the government of Canada pays what can only be described as a ridiculously generous pension to MPs who have been in...
