What guarantees are there that this won't return to Iraq,after the US pulls all the troops out? I'm betting that within a few years ,everything will revert to it's former state.

Just the Facts said:peapod said:Whether someone supports Bush or Kerry, Martin or Harper, has absolutely no bearing on their views regarding world politics. That would be like denying EI benefits to anyone who didn't vote NDP, or firing all Bay St. execs who didn't vote conservative.
answer - very convoluted logic. It is just such support that colours personal views regarding world politics. Some folk don't want to see Muslim women repressed by the Wahabbists because they want them repressed by the Bush fascists.

My Mother would cut you down into little pieces if she heard you say that!![]()
answer - don't you dare threaten me with your mother. I have my own mother-in-law.
We have too many immigrants in this country who go into ethnic ghettos and have no further contact with the greater society. They don't learn the languages, and vote according to their community leaders. They bring their ethnic hatreds and continue to war against their 'old world' enemies. They work in sweatshops or do piecework at home for illegally low wages. They are very exploited and the Canadian government turns a blind eye. Do a little background research before you rant. Maybe you should ask your mother.

And why is that? Is that my fault? Your fault? The governments fault? Should we be giving new immigrants our houses? Should we hand over our paycheques to them? Mow their lawns? Do their cooking?
Do immigrants not have any responsibility?
When someone is allowed to immigrate to Canada, the only guarantee they get is opportunity. If someone is being discriminated against because of race or ethnicity - that is wrong and we have laws to deal with that. But no one - NO ONE - is entitled to a free ride. And no one - NO ONE - gets to blame you or me when they don't get one.

My mother worked in a sweatshop and my father did piecework for low wages - only he didn't get to stay at home - he actually had to catch a bus and do piece work for low wages off site. That's all the background research I need. If you know of someone being exploited - blow the whistle - it's illegal. As you said yourself - "illegally low wages". The government is only as blind as the people. File a complaint.

How about Christian fundies wanting to preach ID in public schools...how is that any different?
Hmmm... the enslavement of entire nations of women vs. a topic in science class. Yup, it's the same. :roll:
Christians are no less enslaved to their own traditions, and they've just been lucky that enslavement of women is not part of their doctrine.

You should have added "currently" at the end of this sentence. Not so long ago women were not as fortunate in the christian world as they are now......
bulldog said:This article is a very fine example of why some people call me a bigot. You people. Not my people. I am always particularly concerned with the women's rights portion of any political movement or issue. Can we concentrate on that one area in this article and not get side-tracked?
When we come to power, we will decree that no women shall be allowed to go to school or work. Education is useless to women, because it is God's will that their duty in life is to stay at home and raise children. As for women working, we have mentioned before that their only work in the eyes of God shall be to be good homemakers. Women should not leave their homes, except only when it is absolutely necessary. When they do leave their homes, women should be enveloped from head to toe in a black garment, so as to shield them from the eyes of other men. This is the only way to avoid temptation, lust and sinful living. When outside the house, women should be accompanied at all times by a male relative and should not speak to unrelated men. Once again, this is to avoid sin.
Sheikh Usama ibn Akhmed is a professor of wahabbism at Drexel University and the president of Wahabbism Now for America

Hard-Luck Henry said::lol: Well, some do, mog, if they try hard enough. I think bulldog has managed to convince herself that "Sheikh Usama ibn Akhmed" is a real person, and is a real "professor of wahabbism at Drexel University."
Personally, I'd like dulldog to provide some evidence that such a post even exists, nevermind the supposed professor. It's probably worth noting here that the article immediately preceding is something like "burglars have rights, too" by "Vivek Thuppil ... a junior majoring in criminals' rights and anarchy." ((see for yourselves)
:lol: Tut! Student magazines, eh? It would be funny, if it wasn't so unfunny. :x
I, for one, am not impressed. :lol: :lol: :lol:
