Fight on Paul

[cottonpicken]

Rons son Rand is in a filibustor trying to stop drone
deployment against us citizens.

Let's all get off the 'greedy bastard tour' for just a
moment and pay tribute to Stompin' Tom Connors who
died today. Whether you like his sound or not, he was
the ultimate patriot and proud of his country. Could
use more of his ilk, don't you think?

[agstar77]

Whatever you thought of his music, a true patriot.R.I.P. Surrender Paul.

[Happytrails]

I totally agree.

[ColevilleH2S]

Start you own thread about ST and stop
trolling this one. Feel good music
doesn't stop your government from taking
away your Miranda rights, and access to
the courts, before they kill you.

Stand with Rand.

Some people wonder how hitler got so many
volunteers,i don't.

[rockpile]

H2S, I humbly apologize. I was shocked to hear of ST's
passing just moments before and didn't stop to
consider a thread. As for the theme of this post,
doesn't anyone get it that today's Democratic Societies
have embraced Orwellian control long ago. Big brother
is watching and there is piss all you can do about it.

[ColevilleH2S]

I disagree. The board was an Orwellian
control apparatus, and it is gone.
Something can always be done. So no I
will not smile and shrug my shoulders.

If Hellfire missile strikes are too
abstract for you, how about the Supreme
Court of Canada deciding last week that
truth is no defence in a court of law.
Unbelievable.

[rockpile]

H2S - and I agree to disagree with you. Since when
did truth in the courts ever count for anything?
Follow the money. Being watched - have you been
to a large department store lately? Scan the ceiling,
smile you're on Candid Camera. Walk around
downtown Calgary, smile you're on Candid Camera.
The Feds wanted access to your internet activity.
Who says they don't already have it? And Hellfire
missiles, you must be too young to remember the
Viet Nam War. Let me introduce some terms -
'carpet bombing', 'napalm attacks on suspected VC
villages', 'collateral damage' to explain the
unintended consequences. The only difference now
is they don't need to risk a pilot or a flight crew.
Kind of like playing video games. Do I condone this
- no! The Wheat Board is gone so get on with it.
You can't blame your woes on something that no
longer exists. Worry about the future. BTW, Paul
was quite happy with the response to his major
issue (plus he had to go pee). Finally, I hope you
don't know who I am nor live close to me, you're a
scary character!

Rocky,

The very fact that Cole is encouraging legal methods
of change... is a very good thing.

I haven't heard of a case before... that charges
someone with a crime... for simply offending them...
when the offence came from a truthful standard of
judgement.

NOW If we say people are 'sinners'... this is offensive to
someone; it is hate speech... according to the Supreme
Court ruling. Almost every book of moral
consequence... has 'right and wrong standards'
included in the text... which will offend someone
somewhere.

I am happy Cole is my neighbour (wherever he lives
and farms)... and truly do hope you Rocky... have
moral standards (code of ethics).

There are 'rules' that everyone must obey... right and
wrong... for a civilization to prosper and be alive.

I am proud to be a Canadian!

God Bless Canada!

Cheers

Rockpile "Since when did truth in the

Personal experience?

[rockpile]

Funny question. Actually, I have never been in a
court room. Now I am curious and just might go in
one day to observe. My comments were based on
the observation That truth and justice can really be
secondary in Canada to good legal representation.
We now have a thing going on in parts of Alberta
where lawyers keep delaying proceedings until the
courts are so backed up, years go by, and the cases
are dismissed. Just in the last month, 2 DUI's
causing death were ended after 2 or 3 years of
delays, and one vicious sexual assault in Airdrie was
closed off. The victim has been ****d a second
time, this time by the courts. Tom, I have no idea
what you were rambling on about.

[ColevilleH2S]

Toms talking about the Saskatchewan
kangaroo.. er.. I mean humanrights court
decision on Bill Whatcott. Someone's
little feelers got hurt, so they were
awarded compensation.

I would have just called them
waaaaambulance;-)

[rockpile]

Gotcha. He may be a wing nut, I don't know, but that's
his right. If you don't like - walk away or offer a
counter argument, but don't stifle speech or thought.
I'm still pissed that some school districts banned 'To
Kill a Mockingbird"

[ColevilleH2S]

I think you misunderstood. Free speech
is what I preach. Reread my post. I
agree with Tom.
