    Rod Black reacted to Brandon in Glen Suitor vs Rod Black   
    I found it funny when Suitor suggested that the reason people may disagree with his opinion was because he was a db.....   I think the reason people disagree was because of the homer in him immediately assuming Gore was at fault.

    Rod Black got a reaction from Mark F in Flags...Seriously   
    I'm not sure there's a lot to be gained by me complaining get about flags thrown by the zebras. It's certainly lessens my enjoyment of the match. But I've decided there's SFA I can do about that so just try and enjoy the game the way it is, Barring unsportsmanlike penalties from the bench or after the play is whistled dead. But for **** sakes, protect the QB's.

    That is exactly the way I saw things as well. A penalty, a key injury, and a run back. And it just did not stop after that.

    Here's how the socialism, the NDP, works. You have two cows and the Socialsts takes them from you. They hire ex-chicken farmers to look after the cows. You get hired to look after the chickens. The Socialists gives you the amount of milk the regulations say.

    Honestly, I used the example of MB. cause that's what I'm most familiar with but I believe this has happened in each and every province since the 80's, increasing homelessness dramatically.  So you can't really point the finger at the NDP specifically as it is a federal problem.

    That's a poor example to highlight in your argument without knowing what the cause of his homelessness is.  Very high probability that he has base mental health issues that are not being treated by our current health system and he is left to fend for himself.  Withn MB. I know of mental health facilities that have been shut down in both Portage and Selkirk as cost savings without reasonable support being provided to the evictees. 
     
    If grandpa loses his mind the immediate family can usually step up to ensure his well being but there are a lot of people in this world that don't have that family support to begin with.  Don't know anyone that could have ended up homeless???  Just dig into your family tree, you won't have to dig very deep..

    Mr. Atomic, you might learn something from it. I once ran for the Birthday Party, in the Horseyback Riding. Came in 2nd. Was a field of two. Very educational.

    Not all by many of them do.
     
    I have empathy for my fellow humans, but let me tell you about my situation... I work a job that pays very well. Most people in my peer group aren't in a financial position I am. I'm not rich, far from it but I never have to worry about money and have a nice savings going. The reason for that is that I have stayed in a job that is very volatile and unpredictable and requires long stretches away from home and makes having a real normal life difficult. I have made sacrifices to be in the position I am in financially, why should I be equal to people who can not make those same sacrifices? 
     
    I'm not trying to boast about having a lot of money here, I'm simply pointing out that not everyone is willing to do the same things when it comes to earning money so equality should be right out the window just based on that. One of the things that makes Canada a great country is that you do have the opportunity to better yourself if you are willing to sacrifice and work at it. A lot of people though are content to coast through life. Why should those people be equal to the ones with the drive and willingness to sacrifice? Yeah we should help support the people who are incapable of supporting themselves, but not the people who have the means but not the will.

    Oh please not this nonsense. Worst talking point ever. I ain't talking about balancing budgets which is all you are referring to because quite frankly simply balancing the budget isn't what I'm looking for out of a government. I want a balanced budget WITHOUT having to tax more to do it. I want the government stream lined and cuts made AND a lower tax burden on us the tax payers. I am not interested in having my finances raided just so the idealists in the NDP can fund whatever half baked program pops into their head. Being highly taxed stagnates an country. There is a reason why both the Conservatives and Liberals agree that taxing people isn't the solution to the country and are in favour of lower taxes for the most part. Promotes investment in the country and if people have more money in their pockets at the end of the day they have more to spend which keeps the economy going. The NDP would have us all be utterly dependent on the government for everything.

    Raginice, your the one that that brought up the economy. What I have said is who I would vote for. Does that bother you that it's not the NDP? Does it bother you that I'm doing better under this government than any other?
    You are welcome to join any organization you want, have them tell you how to vote. I'm voting with my conscience.

    One thing that bugs me about the NDP more than most things, and that is that they don't allow free thought or dissidents in their party. You MUST agree with the ideological mantras, and you cannot question the lies they spin. Thus you end up with people like RagingIce, who can't see the proof of how bad the NDP is, no matter what is shown.

    Raging ice. Do you have an idea why it's refered to as a balanced budget? Do you realize when you tax people, like Paul Martin did, your going to keep raking in the money. A balanced budget is not economic activity.
    Referring to intellectual honesty, do you know what that means? in fact you are the phrase in an incorrect context. The author and your interpretation is dishonest.
    The guys a hack. He has an axe to grind. He works for a union. Get it?
    Actually, you are the one using the term economics and confused it with budgets.
    I know I'm doing better under the current federal government. That is the weight that I measure. And that is what matters to this citizen.
    No leftie gets my vote. And I'm proud of that.

    Raging ice. Your using anarticle that is over four years old, speaks about balanced budgets, not economics, and is authored by a union hack. None of that inspires this vote to go left. I want business people, problem solvers, running this country. Not union hacks and idealists with no sense of work ethic, and out of touch with real productive people.
