There's commenting......



...and then there is not knowing when to stop.

You neither prove nor disprove anything, on a fundamental or any other level. You are predominantly a trouble maker. Do not, for even one second, think that just because AnnaG may have gotten carried away in this instance, that you are not recognized for exactly what you are.

Basically I find Anna to be a fairly sensible person who just happens to be fairly adept at identifying idiots! :)

It's not like the situation is black or white ether. So let's build these 100 natives a 1 billion dollar aqueduct.

Nothing is black or white. But the 'conclusion' you just jumped to suggests you very much think in a black or white manner.

So which is it?

Whatever makes you think I don't approve? I truly appreciate the hard work you do anchoring the random-distribution curve.

Takes all kinds I've been told. 😅

Somewhere in the middle of your post and my reply.

I don't have a problem with her but what went on last night was over doing it.

And you're not privvy to the extent or frequency of the results of the report feature so you are not in a place to really make a judgement on that are you?

I think so, too, Anna is fairly sensible. I have nothing against anyone here on CC. Far from it. I enjoy your company.

If someone places themselves at one extreme side of a subject, and I counter balance their opinion with the opposite extreme. Usually the truth is somewhere in the middle of that.

Boil water advisories and orders are pretty commonplace in Canada. Racist like to point at aboriginal communities as if theyre somehow different.

You're a good lad. :)

I fully agree with that, but most of us are only human and it just takes a couple of resident dodos to push us over the edge occasionally. :) I'm sure you understand that.

And let's be clear, Just because I place myself on a extreme position in a argument, Doesn't mean it reflex my own personal view of the world. I'm just not afraid to explore possibilities and different perspectives then my own.

Boil water advisories and orders are pretty commonplace in Canada. Racist like to point at aboriginal communities as if theyre somehow different.

If I was under a boil water advisories, After 4 months I'd have the problem fixed myself without anyone's help.

If you haven't done anything for yourself after 18 years. Then it's fair to say you accept your situation. They are perfectly happy to live under those conditions.

Who are we to judge? They want to live the way they do.

The entire milk river aquifer does not provide water that meets Canadian drinking water standards. Therefore everybody from south of Lethbridge all the way to the Saskatistan border, that are on municipal water, don't have access to water that meets Canadian drinking water standards. Fortunately for taxpayers, they aren't aboriginal so they can just go and buy bottled water. The problem with water quality has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the cost of providing quality water to smaller populations but that doesn't sell newspapers

Well some people need to realize this , and stop treating every situation like it's as easy as spending unlimited money.

Well, I'm being somewhat sarcastic. The reality is the government loves to fix problems that don't really exist. I know of municipalities that are having new treatment plants that the public does not want, forced on them by the government and utility bills will increase more than the cost of bottled water or renting a reverse osmosis system. I can't help but wonder though, what would have happened if a Hutterite colony complained about the quality of the water. Would we send Mansbridge to the scene to report first hand on the airlift of Abe and his family?

Bleeding hearts like I come to call them, give me the impression that to right the wrongs of 500 years ago, it's our duty too.

Cliffy's opinion is yes. We basically need to just hand everything over to the natives or will all go to hell.

As I've said before, Cliffy is just bitter because he hates western culture and it is precisely that culture that the rest of the world yearns for. If the aboriginal culture was so great, rich white teen boys would be adopting that instead of the African American culture.

I thought as much.

It's not like this even got that bad.


I remember a time when this $hit would last 10 pages in a thread. And everyone got involved. Like one great big distinctional family.

Now those were the days 🤗

Cdnbear, gerryh, Cannuk, boomer, Dasleeper. Those were fierce e-peen matches. Laugh out loud

Relentless until someone would cry. ��

I'm sorry it offended you Anne, I was only playing devils advocate.
By derailing the topic? yeah right
Don't take this internet thing so seriously.
If something occupies my time, I take it seriously. Sometimes in good humour, sometimes not, but always seriously.

Nobody reports as many posts as you have dear.
awww po like overworked locotush

nobody makes anyone read, contribute or even post here.
right. That is why I am out for good. If even mods like you care nothing about the board guidelines and rules, let alone some of the members, then you all can suck up my dust

tuck your 'feelings' away for awhile.
why?

have a nice day.
have a rotten one, useless

:)

But that's what's so unique and great about this place. You will require a thicker skin then what you posses if you want to hang out arround here.
if slums like this is where you want to hang out then i can see the necessity.
if someone such as me prefer places where people can stick to topics and debate rather than insult, then it is not necessary =)

Well that's easily said for you when your not the one getting spammed with reports after reports after reports after reports.
If the mod would actually pull its head out of its a$$ and do the job, "spamming" would not be necessary

When all she needs to do is stop reading, posting, and participating.
Done. My last posts are today

She participated in the name calling, meanwhile reporting us every time.
I retaliated. I did not initiate. And it was not "every time".
