		<description>Hey - i need no tissue, Ti-Guy.
Your a complete stranger who sneers in ASCII.
I have no emotional ties to America whatsoever - fill yer boots.
Try reading your own words sometime though.  They are mostly ugly and rarely productive or optimistic.  I just find it a shame you have the rest of your lives to live filled with such rage.
Live and let live, you know...?
Get some sunlight maybe - play some frisbee

		<description>&gt;bill c-10, christers writing legislation to put their own moral stamp on what films qualify for tax breaks? 

What is a &quot;christer&quot;?  Is that a pejorative intended to convey contempt?

balbulican is correct; if Warman has been libelled then let the courts sort it out.  There is enough factual and philosophical ammunition to shred the conduct of the HRCs and their cargo-cult imitation of justice without resorting to personal attacks on any of the people involved.

The problem isn&#039;t Warman; he is just an observable sign.  The disease is the tools available, the potential for misuse, and the actual misuse.  We don&#039;t bend rules of procedure and evidence to deal with real criminals responsible for thousands of real human tragedies every year due to violence, narcotics, gambling, prostitution, and every other casual and organized activity in which they indulge; I see no compelling reason to permit sloppy people and processes to pursue the handful of nutters on the fringe.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;133158&#039;,&#039;lrC&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;133158&#039;,&#039;lrC&#039;,&#039;&gt;bill c-10, christers writing legislation to put their own moral stamp on what films qualify for tax breaks? \r\n\r\nWhat is a \&quot;christer\&quot;?

Violations of Posse Comitatus
Massive Surveillance and Wiretapping of Citizens

<p><i>That, neighbor, is &#8217;cause you just don&#8217;t know where to look &#8211;</i></p>
<p>&#8220;He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.&#8221; &#8212; Thomas Paine</p>
<p>&#8220;You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man&#8217;s freedom. You can be free only if I am free.&#8221; &#8212; Clarence Darrow</p>
<p>&#8220;What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don&#8217;t like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don&#8217;t expect freedom to survive very long.&#8221; &#8212; Thomas Sowell</p>

		<description>I wouldn&#039;t say our blandness is eunuch-like.  I think that quality a bit too exotic.

Anyway, no one should complain; if weren&#039;t for Canadians, how would the Americans and the British know they&#039;re so interesting?

		<description>Exactly. Plus we have most of the nuance and sensitivity pummelled out of us by the glaciers that crush our cities every winter.
