Lets master the Joy of living

[farmaholic]

I'm not sure if I got chastised or praised or both.

Both comparisons use mainly land as hard assets:

Compare the 99% of farmers in Nigeria with the 99% in Canada.

Then compare the 99% of farmers in Australia with the 99% in Canada.

Australia and Canada are obviously the countries of choice. Why is that?

It's not about money. Goodness, Iceland declared bankruptcy. It's about security. About culture. About accepting responsibility. About industry. About work ethic. About families. About religion. About government. Builders.

These are the things that make a country a good country.

All the characteristics of a desirable country determine whether or not you eat well, get an education, are protected, and are happy.

Nigeria is a hell-hole because the people in Nigeria, allow it to be a hellhole, They stand back and wait for someone, or something, to fix it for them.

Tonight, fellow farmers, reflect a little on how you contribute to your neighbourhood, your province, and your country. And pat yourself on the back.

Farmers truly have been, and continue to be, astonishingly productive members of our society. And decent people. And community builders. And family units.

For those who cannot, or will not recognize these kinds of contribution to our Canadian way of life, along with all the small businesses, and corporations, and governments who ship and process and market and regulate the goods and services that flow constantly, I recommend you go and live in Nigeria for a year. Or Pakistan. or Indonesia. Or Mali. Or El Salvador. Or Cuba. Or Sumatra Or Afghanistan. And take your own body bag and incessant bitching with you. Parsley

Cultural history is vital to who we are and why we are where we are in this world.

Interestingly Canada had one of the highest levels of individual land ownership in the civilized world as a founding principal of settlement, a fact we should never forget or take for granted.

Dear Parsley,
Thank you for taking the time to respond in such a descriptive manner. I will leave many of your points alone as there are some obvious differences of opinion between yourself and Kaiser, however I would like to suggest that there are many things we agree on as well.
Your concern over who belongs in this amazing country that I feel we are both passionate about calling home befuddles me. I assume you are of anglo saxon or European decent and also assume that you are aware that it was "us" who invaded this country and claimed it for "ourselves" in a genocidal period know as " pen them savages up and put em on reserves or kill em".I assume as well that you have been to Tim Hortons where the work ethic of immigrant workers often far exceeds that of our entitlementminded white kids. To say that a muslim driving a gravel truck in Alberta (pretty much like the taxi industry these days) is less ambitious than a white dude sitting behind a computer making bets on the stock market while trying to build his kingdom intrigues me to say the least.

I hear you on radicalism and will only say that just like an eye for an eye, radical action responded to with radical action never works.

I realise that you and many other folks on here want to label me, just like you tend to label ethnics people or radical politicians and their puppets. May I suggest that I have no problem being called a conspiracy theorist, and like the new title some of us have now claimed - coincidence theorists. Or one I really like these days. The "really guy" or the "are you friggin serious dude" LOL

There you are ag boy, I am aware of your dislike of profuse language and will try my best to respect your request.

Have a wonderful day pars and enjoy that organic food. One more area, like my love for this amazing land we call home, that we seem to agree on.

I will not stand back any longer and allow this amazing country to be high jacked by either senseless politicians or as I tend to believe complicit treasonous criminals who I have compassion for as I truly believe they are scared shishless. You chose folks, my coincidence theory side or the idea that our politicians from the Blue and Red and even Yellow bellied NDP and Green with capitalist envy are all senseless followers of a system that has been broken since 1974.

Son of a gun - changed food for our chickens and put in a heat lamp to hide out under when they come in from digging in the snow all day and they are giving us 5 eggs out of 5 hens every day lately... Whoop Whoop

My bad Parsley but just checked globalrichlist.com and 1% is way too many RICH people, including all of us on Agriville. $32000/year puts you in the top 1%. That includes 62,000,000 on earth. Those are worker ants for sure. I would correct that to the top 0.0001% making $2B per year, all 3000 of them. Perhaps calling all the shots. Again think as you believe, can not prove it at all, but very suspicious as the "Lie we Live" suggests.

Kaiser, how did you come up with all that racism out of parsley's post? I sure didn't see it ( great post pars! )Why do you think canada and the u.s. have prospered so much in such a short time in history? It was people from many nationalities who were like-minded as in great work ethic, looking for a better life ( and working for it ),religious freedom, a common goal, etc. Take a look at those countries mentioned, do they have what we have? Canada is a blessed country, let's enjoy it and build on it.

1. You refer to my "concern over who belongs in this amazing country" Huh? I don't see that thought in this discussion in this thread. You must have pulled that notion out of your trunk of reasoning, which you don't realize is empty.

2. Your reference to "savages up and put em on reserves or kill em" has absolutely no reference to, or origin in, my post. It is intellectually dishonest to shift your thoughts into a cloud of disguise, where it would seem as though they were mine. But you know that.

3. I am of Swedish origin, kaiser. I am a woman. I am white. And I'm pleased to be who I am. If you have a problem with any of my characteristics, go see a shrink.

4. You also make the statement, "radical action responded to with radical action never works."

The most common radical action, that I have referred to, in other threads, on AV, is Islamic terrorism. As I write this, pictures of a young Jordanian pilot, being burned alive, in a cage, by Islamists, have been distributed world-wide. These acts must be stopped. These depravities stem from a religious-political ideology, that works in tandem: Islam and Sharia Law. I condemn these barbarous acts. It is my duty to label them. And I will continue to label these acts as barbarous because they are. Call try response a radical action if you feel good doing so.

5. You and I have different goals., kaiser. You are dissatisfied with our state
of living. And declare you will change it. I think we have the best in the world.

6. You want to destabilize our country, I want to keep building it.

7. You show negativity towards the establishment: corps, govt's, the rich, tradition, I see them as society-builders. You resent wealth and success. I admire the hutzpah it takes to get there.

8. I so respect and admire the homesteaders who responded to the calls for immigrants to come to Canada. They worked so hard to build an economy in spite of vicious winters1.

My List of Eight shows we really don't have much in common after all, kaiser, so I want to call it a day. And I particularly want to permanently end discussing things I didn't say. Parsley and isolation and hardship, You view them as invaders.

Peace out pars.

[rkaiser]

I will say that I am sorry for your taking my comments as painting you as _______ pars. I will allow you to fill in the blank.

As for the radical islamist's who commit horrendous acts, again we agree. However, a quick search outside the traditional mind guiding views of CBC, CTV and the like would allow you to see that the burning of prisoners is out lawed by the Koran, while head choping is.

Another search, and you would quickly discover where these mercenary warriors get their weapons and some even believe, there support. Seems that the list includes many of the society builders that you refer to.

Just out here trying to stabilise this wonderful multicultural, mind controlled (definition of government) country which I dearly love pars.

I will re-post my last-night's comments as Iusy have pasted twice, and it's difficult to read:
