Well I still like to know what all the fuss is about but if I am problem to this board (or if I am somehow disruptive?), whatever, then have management send me a PM and I will simply go elsewhere. If you wish you can simply ban me. It matters not. I am active on a few other boards so I can spend...

No problem if the choice of name is a problem. A name I can change anytime. No I haven't relocated from Ontario although I have visited there. As to your comment on content all I can say is that I have always been interested in world politics and, for better or worse, right now George Bush is...

There are those who consider that religion, any religion, is a disease. Others are fervent believers and are convinced there is a heaven as there is a hell. Problem is that no one has been to either place and come back to tell us. So a thread such as this may be intellectually stimulating but...

??????????????

Yes I just read it. I have no idea what prompted those comments. I thought this site, just like others, was designed to exchange ideas. To disagree but politely.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. Go to the site please and there it is clear 'undocumented' workers may be deported. It is just that there aren't enough of them to make a difference one way or another.

It is true .. check out the facts. As to psychological evaluation you might just have point. Would you care to summarize how it would add value in these circumstances?

Canada doesn't have to concern itself overly with illegal immigration. It is a non issue. There is no plan to build a fence. No need to. Right now there are about 800,000 waiting to get in. One must undergo medical and security checks. This link might help. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html

I haven't heard much on that topic of late. Predictably, it will be one of condemnation. What else? However the new Prime Minister, whose government is in a dangerous minority position (so theoretically it can fall at any moment) is very much aligned with Washington. That doesn't go over too...

I can not recall exactly (since I was quite young back then) but if memory serves Barry Goldwater had picked a running mate, a military guy, who claimed he would not hesitate, if needs be, to use the A bomb. I could be wrong here and stand to be corrected.

Actually you do make quite a convincing case. I am not sure I would call it appeasement though. However if countries will not band together and collectively take concrete punitive measures, such as trade sanctions and ostacising rogue nations such as N. Korea and Iran, well that is not the ideal...

It is one thing to justifiably protect oneself against a known threat, Al Quaeda for instance. It is quite another to get bogged down in Iraq (USA and UK). I still don't see where there is a prevailing climate of appeasement today. If so, then which nations are doing the appeasing?

Yes that is fact and lamentably even today Canada still doesn't spend anywhere near the money that is needed.

I can only agree with you in part. Yes indeed Osama is and still is a clear threat. Not only to the Americans (9-11) but take a look at what Al Quaeda has done in other parts of the world, for instance London, Madrid, and Indonesia. As for North Korea and Iran, if indeed there is a real...

Foley, Haggard, Swaggart, etc., etc., These people are nonentities so who cares? Now had you asked that very same question of George Bush, that in my view would be relevant. That of course presupposes that one believes in Heaven in the first place.
