Unlike yourself mother Teresa did an awful lot of good for others. 'Don't young women still need bullying when the sun shines". You have a wife who would feel good to hear you say this?

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

Example please. Cite someone reasonably well known who is in favour of abortion. Not just the right to choose but who actually advocates abortions. I can only think of the eugenic policies of the Alberta government in the fifties and sixties but I'm open to other suggestions.

The Ontario government funds a school system specifically for some Christian students as well as one for everyone else. That's bias, is it not ?

Ad Hominem, is not, btw, a Catholic hymn.

Doesn't that support the argument that Bush is worse than Clinton ?

Do you partake of the drink, jcexit ? Your spelling seems to have slipped rather and you've come over all corprophilic.

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

Actually this disgraceful policy ran from 1928 to 1972 and affected almost 3,000 individuals. :mad::mad::mad:

Not something that many Albertans are aware of.

Wishing illnesses on the children of people with whom one disagrees is beyond the pale. **** Off.

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

I feel confident that my common law wife, a historian who, for her Masters, specialised in prostitution in Victorian England and who wrote extensively on woman's issues, would not be shocked to hear me use the term "bullying" in connection with the anti-abortion prostestors. If she does find it unreasonable she's welcome to come and see, as indeed are you. Pick any rainy day, corner of Parliament and Gerrard.

I know my other wife has mixed feelings on abortion. Raised in a traditional Catholic household (her parents still attend the Latin mass) she was not brought up to favour choice. However, dealing with an autistic child for twenty years gives one a more nuanced position. I suspect she would now take a Nelsonian view; she would not join a pro-choice lobby but would not fight such legislation.

You, of course, have no way of knowing whether or not I do good or evil to others.

Tell me something though, are you a man ? If you are a man, how is it your place to advance a strong view on a choice you won't have to make ?

As well, Quebec has a horrible history of medical experimentation. Canada has more skeletons in its closet than just the fate of the native people. Every nation has skeletons, of course, but Canadians do tend to pose as being morally superior, especially with regard to Americans. It doesn't hurt to look at the dark side of history now and then.

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

I completely agree with that though I would expand that looking at the dark side into the present... there is some seriously phu*cked up, racist, sexist, able-ist, you-name-it-ist policies in place in Canada. And yeah... a huge portion of the population just don't want to know and prefer to refer to beer commerials made by Americans for their sense of national identity. (moderators/website owner - we really need a vomiting emoticon!!)

That said, I am morally superior but not because I am Canadian. ;)

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

To me ?!

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

I imagine a prowling cougar cub is not in the least bit phu*cked up, racist, sexist, able-ist, you-name-it-ist in the selection of its next meal. :D

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

Why should someone be well-known in this issue? Abortion or not are to do with the poor girl who is facing the choice. Not you or me. Or anyone else.

Re: Election's 'a comin'
 

So you have some borders then?

actually don't understand the ****
