lind What a conundrum...I understand the need to help and also understand the reasons why it is a problem to act...the US are inundated with refugee claimants and how many can the citizens afford?...the economy is still in need of recovery and many are unemployed there...perhaps it should be a global effort?...monetary wise and such...we all need to help people from dire situations regardless whether it is political or poverty problem...
lind Trudeau was the first person to appoint women into speaker of the senate and government of commons and governor general.. and the one to create the charters of rights and freedom act for all in Canada...to be legally independent from Britain to name a few...he had moxy!!
lind The current Prime minister is not one who I like but if I could go back...Trudeau was a distinguished leader... Nixon brings back memories...gone were the days people believed everything the government touted...he was the first one where people questioned his motives...I felt sorry for him...for a little while anyways...
soc Never mentioned Canada...but shouldn't be far from 60 percent...people may not be meant for monogamy...anthropological point of view or otherwise...
soc He does not hold the key to understanding women nor can he pretend like he is the more intelligent man...rare as he put it...women make their way in society...money and the pursuit of career leads women to marry later on or decide not to and have children later on in life...another factor...birth control...my how I think obs lives in a land that time forgot...
lind We certainly have a lot of varying views here on your blog...but one thing is for sure...despite who started it or who is to blame...we all know that ISIS needs to be stopped...good blog!!
nice It is a very different ideology we are dealing with...the extremes are mind blowing...we need to sit down with rational people to come to a positive solution...surly no people want war and destruction?...even hatred has limitations?...
It s interesting that when I actually wanted to pay in American money ...it was not accepted?...I tried to give a tip and it was rejected?...what is going on?...maybe me being hypersensitive?...wtf?...just ordering pizza?...
nice It is truly disheartening that we as a people cannot find a resolution...what if we had a peace talk that actually engaged us to admit prior misdeeds and set up a forum of discussion...obviously this is not happening today but what if we offered a solution earlier?...
cc That is the tragedy of war...people losing their life or being away from their loved ones...it really is a shame we cannot find a peaceful existence...
soc I consider myself intelligent enough to see that marriage was not for me...not one to be a follower...common sense maybe what your friend is talking about...many cannot participate in life because they are in their heads too much...just a thought!!...oh was that puny?...
lind Just watching the news on line...I wonder if air strikes are enough?...but glad other Middle East countries are aligning themselves with the West...torture leaves an unpleasant taste in many peoples mouth...surely the common people will view ISIS as a threat to their own lives and freedom...the ease of their acts of torture is quite astonishing... The irony of it all is that the Syrian leader is backing the air strikes...he too lacked a sense of decency to his own people which created civil unrest...a very unfortunate circumstance...
lind It certainly looks like the extremists want our attention...a very uncivilized attack of innocent men...I suspect that is the very kind of reaction they want...for the West to start air strikes...how could we not?...lets hope it will end quickly and stop this brutality...
iota It is unfortunate that some claim victory alone or exaggerate the truth...most wars are entered by interested parties who see an opportunity to gain...it is unfortunate that common the people suffer the consequences...I am not interested in being right...but merely expressing my thoughts...
zman Your too funny!!...Ron Paul's position may have changed in light of the situation now...he was running for office a few years ago but failed to win...I was wondering if we, the West didn't interfere with the Middle East...politics, sanctions and oil etcetera...would the extremists have been popular with the masses? That was the point I was trying to make...
zman Yes it is too late...the unfortunate beheading sealed the fate sort to speak...now we have to settle the score not to mention the other atrocities of war...
lind I am a fan of Paul Rand...I like what he had to say about getting out of the middle east and its politics...however...seems like ISIS wants the Westerners to be involved...hungry for war and conflict...
lind Is evil ignorance?...it appears to be...the have versus the have nots...creates bitterness?...if we had a fair playing field perhaps we could see the good in people more clearly...sometimes though people either have a glass half full attitude or a glass half empty attitude...nurture and nature at work?....
fly This site is a good way to measure what information is out there...true or not and/or the perceptions of people internationally regarding politics or other matter...too much information has a bias in the media and cannot be fully trustworthy...
free This is what happens when you have children...what did you expect?...being a parent is a responsibility, the job isn't the sole responsibility of the woman...so before you decide to blame the female in regards to not allowing the male to have his own life, maybe it is better to understand that having children is not for the faint hearted...and men have a part to play in this...
