Re: RE: Canadian Politics - an embarassment
I'm not sure why you think secession always lurks in democracy. Driving forces promoting succession are generally nationalism, tribalism, religion and wealth. Its not usually ideas. I'm also not sure why you think compromise gains a disappointed majority. I think people in a democracy understand that compromise is critical in all aspects of society. Plus, most people don't pay much attention to it. Most people are focussed on the day to day activities of life. People might talk about something like gay marriage, but for almost everyone, it doesn't effect day to day like one iota. Oh, and I think the republican system of government in America is better than the British Parliamentary system.

I honestly find that it's not our system that is so much embarasing as the people in it. The class of politition in this country it very low. The U.S. senate and house are full of people how generally conduct themselves with a certain class and air where as we have shouting school brats who never think as individuals..Caroline Parish is a good example of the type I am speaking about. Doesn't seem so much a proffession anymore but rather "6 years and I get a great pension"

This is true but slightly less true of the US. There have always been yahoos, especially in the House. Remember that bozo that wanted to change the name of French fries to Freedom fries. There is a great deal of appeal to baser instincts in the House, especially amongst the GOP Right.

It wasn't just one yahoo, Toro. In fact the original yahoo has recanted now that he's seen how inept your heroes are. The thing is that a bunch of yahoos voted with him and they actually did change the name.
you should be ashamed to have anything to do with those people...

That is one factor (on a list of several) that made me move south of the border. In a lot of the states here, you don't need to register your handgun. You also do not need to obtain a permit to own one. Plus, the handgun registry process in Canada is in a huge mess.
If you are law-abiding and have not commited any violent crime, there should be no reason one should not be permitted to own a handgun. Being an avid target shooter, I got tired of all the red tape in Quebec in owning a handgun and transporting my handgun to the shooting range. It was completey ridiculous!!! The folks down here do teach their kids how to safely handle a firearm, so the risk of accidental shootings is minimized when looking at the big picture. One thing is for certain, no one will attempt to commit a robbery in my house as long as I am home.

That is correct, and that is why an indirect democracy is a total sham. Only when we are ruled by a dictatorship of the proletariat instead of a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie will this malevolent dictatorship of the wealthy come to an end.
Lack of education. The average voter has no clue.
There are two reasons supposedly. 1)It is not currently necessary for the average citizen to own a handgun. 2)It is potentially dangerous.
When you put those two reasons together, it seems ridiculous for guns to be completely legal while things like marijuana are not. Hell legalize crack, heroin and everything else if your a gun advocate, because otherwise your a hypocrite. Personally, I think all those things should be legal. In Vancouver are they not dispensing free herion now? ha ... Make that stuff legal, now there goes half the reasons to use a gun for wrong-doing.
Thats vey interesting toro..you saying that the rev supported Pol Pot...my my aren't we getting desperate now :idea: where exactly did you go to school??
The United States slaughtered somewhere north of half a million Cambodians from 1969-75 and utterly devastated the country.
* Roughly half-a-million to one million more people died from starvation and disease in the following period, due to this devastation.
* The American bombing's destruction of Cambodian society laid the foundation for the rise of the Khmer Rouge.
* Careful studies of the Khmer Rouge period put the number of executions in the range of 75,000-300,000. (This includes U.S. State department intelligence.)
* The United States moved to support the Khmer Rouge and downplay their atrocities towards the end of the decade (when in fact they were at their relative worst).

A dictatorship of the bourgeoisie is better than a dictatorship of the proletariat because at least the wealthy have a clue.

Not at all. In fact if you had any grasp of the truth at all, you'd be so ashamed for even suggesting that, that you'd crawl up inside your own asshole and die a coward's death.
You deny truth as a matter of course though, Mr. el toro mierda.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Listen up people, El toro is just trying to bait us into a bar room brawl...I say don't bite...but its up to you. I am personally relieved that he has moved south, maybe we could trade him for think...
