OP should take a good look in the mirror before killing himself.
Looking in the mirror is optional.

Nice comment, I take it you are a member of the "religion of peace?"

Oh, it seems that the life of the religious is full of contradictions.

Yeah, right I take it you're the token "know it all" in this thread.

I'm not of any minority .... Religious or colored skin. Born in Canada too.

The lack of tolerance and respect in this place makes me fucking sick. Some of you should get in line where you fit in, instead of worrying about others that don't concern you. That element of being a controlling dictator didn't work for Hitler in Germany, or Bush in America. So some of you retards ought to stop pushing the idea in my country.

I'm against radicals and converters too. But if someone wants to practice in peace, you can't do anything about it. That how the law stands right now. All of you ignorant shit heads trying to push for uniformity are pissing in the wind. This is a free country as it sits. Go ahead and try to change it by expressing your sentiments on a Calgary Car Forum. See how far it gets you

Actually it did work for Hitler. Resources were his Achilles' heel. Also it is currently working for Bush as well. They did vote him in for a second term (kind of), and refused to impeach.

Really? That's a pathetic attempt to grab at straws.
Only on beyond will you find someone to defend Hitler & Bush in less than two lines.

Are you willing to support your statements? Please explain for us how you consider both of those men a success in your own words. Tell us all how the principles of those two men "work" for the better of their countries. I'm betting you come up with a witty one-liner instead, and divert the conversation.

I didn't say it worked for the better of their countries, nor am I "defending" them. I'm saying it worked for THEM, as you claimed it didn't.

I do not think ANYONE on beyond has said people shouldn't be able to practice what they want in peace. Just so you know

You definitely WERE defending them. Look at your post buddy.
Now go ahead and tell me how "it worked for them".

You're the one who decided to pick 1 line out of my post, and contradict it with ridiculous opinions.

Keep digging.

Being first generation canadian

i don't mind hearing or seeing other cultures,.. their religions,.. it intrigues me

Some times I do think WTF?

It's neat to see the little mini-cultures throughout the city

I don't mind adding more holidays/special event days

However,.. changing the name halloween to 'black and orange' day SUCKS BALLS! Whats the point?

keep it halloween, that's what it is and what it has been since I was a kid and when my parents immigrated.

.. it has always been halloween to me and always will be

[/RANT]

Hope you all had a happy halloween and wish you a merry christmas! Hannukah to others

First I want to say I in no way support Hitler he was a racist murder and his beliefs offend me greatly being Jewish myself.

However you asked so I will interject
He did rule for 12 years and convinced over 80% of the population to follow his beliefs, he eliminated poverty, unemployment, and Germany had the lowest crime rate in history.

He did this by doing exactly what people are doing in this thread, stating ones opinion as fact and attempting to force others to accept it.

I only point this out because I think your a prick for your first post, you redeemed yourself mildly after but I can see your only here to stir the pot instead of contribute positively.

Sikh's too are very open to others.

You do just realize you stereotyped Sikh's, correct? Sure it is in a positive manner, but bullshit I call. You get your good guys and your bad guys with any cause/religion/belief, it never changes.

Ok, I did
Maybe my experiences have been good so far. Biggest example is one guy I went to school with who used to take advantage of his turban and facial hair to dress up on halloween. Real cool guy. Works for CBC now.

The only problem with this is that not everyone is open-minded (be it from any religion, atheist or humanistic perspective). The problem is having diversity imposed on by a handful of extremist beliefs that make life hard for the moderates of any of these groups. It causes more racial and religious tensions that are unnecessary.

/agree

My opinion is pretty simple, most of these problems stem from religion. The church was a great power and made rules to better themselves, i think it is a continuous process to phase out religion in politics because the two don't mix AT ALL. I think this is just another step.

Ok so I was born and raised Catholic, now the only reason why I would practice this religion now would be raise my kids so that they learn christian values which can make them better individuals in society. Personally I don't believe religion is required to do this but I guess its the simplest way.

Devout Catholics have been fed bullshit from birth. Open your eyes and see that the bible is a load of shit, and if you think there is a higher power you don't need a shitty book to believe it. This ties into all that abortion, gay rights and all that other crap. If you wanna chop up your unborn baby, FINE. If you wanna pound 1 guy in the ass for the rest of your life FINE. As for Jesus, he can stick around he really puts a face to the "christian" values.

I cant speak for other religions but yea like TC said its the extremist groups that cause the problems for everyone else.

And that's the end of tabouli spewing his bile... maybe he took his own advice and commited suicide after looking in a mirror?
