Post-Seconday Education

[Reverend Blair]

Yes Mexico is a great example of all things good. Just like Cuba. Rolling Eyes And America is “unfettered capitalism" sure of coarse (sic) it is.

I never said that, Jay. Don't put words in mouth.

What I did say is that state-sponsored education has served Mexico well. It has, the evidence is there.

RB your hatred of right wing thinkers is clear an (sic) obvious, you think their (sic) insane and I find it hard to have an intelligent conversation with ppl like that, but hey I'm Canadian; I'm up for a challenge. I can handle a little diversity in thinking. You can't. So be it.

I can handle diversity just fine, Jay. I just get very tired of extremists who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

The insistence that we need only look to other countries to see the benefits of socialism is a mute (sic) point. I don't care about other countries.

It isn't a moot point though. We do not live in a vacuum and there is no reason why we shouldn't draw on successful models to improve our country.

Socialism works well for Germany, doesn’t work well for America its called diversity in the world.

Are you sure it doesn;t work well for America? It helped to pull the US out of the Great Depression, after all. It also led to the public school system, which was largely successful until recently and many of its failures can be traced to underfunding.

I'm not one of these Canadians who are doing every thing in their power to make us a European country. I don't want us to be the States either. I do believe their (sic) is more actual freedom there, but that’s a different thought.

I don't want us to be anything but Canada, Jay. Peace, order and good government. You know, our national motto. Most surveys show that Americans have less freedom than Canadians, btw. Less freedom of of the press, less freedom of expression, less chance of upward class mobility.

I can understand your bowing out of this debate.

I'm not bowing out at all. I am saying that if all you want to do is yell and scream that I'm stealing money from you, then you aren't worth talking to.

The idea that everyone is rooked in Canada without the almighty socialist dollar is a myth that is fading fast, and the left is doing everything it can to solidify its strong hold on people’s wallets.

Actually the country has moved to the left in last decade according to most polls. People want social programs, people want to address poverty. They see that there is a long-term benefit there. It is your ideology of greed that is falling out of favour because it is short sighted and we've been seeing it not work since about 1980.

I hear far too often around here that the “radical right is pushing its morality on us.”

This isn’t true, because it is in fact the opposite that is true. It is the radical left that has pushed and is still pushing its morality on us.

Not true at all.

This actually has an effect on ppl and the economy, because the radical left doesn’t believe in things like private property and such. They believe first and for most (sic) my money is their money.

Again, a complete and total fallacy. If you actually knew anything about the left you would understand that what you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

They don’t believe in freedom and self determination, so they take my money without consideration of my children’s future.

Actually it has consistently been the left, especially the NDP that has consistently stood up for individual rights and freedoms. Check Hansard from the last twenty years.

And that is the truth.

No, it's an outright, bald-faced lie. I'm surprised that you believe it and saddened that you would try to perpetuate it.

So now that we all know this, stop blaming the radical right for your problems, when you the radical left create your own problems.

We try to address problems, Jay. The radical right just tries to profit from them.

And when people start to figure this out, don’t call them greedy for realizing their in charge of their own destiny, and not you.

I call 'em as I see 'em. Anybody who wants to profit from society without giving anything back is greedy. I can't help that.
