I'm saying "generally", but not exactly "entirely".

You don't see it? Not here perhaps but come on. I was pretty big on it for awhile.

The jokes about "being Canadian just means not being American" didn't come from nothing, it's a real attitude, but I was just using it for comparative purposes, not to say anything really about Canadian jingoism.

But that was just you. For it to be a 'general' statement, I'd have expected it to be most 'everybody'. Right now, I'd say it was 'nobody'.

It's human nature to blame others for your own problems, even if they are the result of out of control spending and a warped ideology and so the Muslims have become the Emmanuel Goldstein of the masses. It's textbook sheeple herding.

Goldstein didn't fly jetliners into office towers, shoot women in the back of the head for dressing improperly, throw acid in the faces of little girls going to school, or post videos on the internet of himself decapitating people with knives. What the Muslims are doing is real with real blood, real death, and real agony. The only fantasy going on right now is in the heads of liberals who keep saying it's not happening. Or that it will never happen here.

Well, here, in this little secluded Conservative den, yes, but generally just talking to friends or online, especially after some tragedy, it's always: "Man, I'm glad I'm Canadian!"

Well, being proud to be Canadian isn't the same thing as proud to be 'not American'.

Public_Domain Public_Domain:

And I've lost count of the number of angry politically-inept undeclared liberals who've said vicious things like "The Americans deserved 9/11"

You're telling me you've never heard these sentiments? Some of the worst poison our country has to offer, only second perhaps to the stuff said about Natives.

No, I've never heard such an asinine comment from anyone. And that's a good thing, because anyone saying such things needs to be put on permanent 'ignore'.

So did the religion kill people, or did a group of people kill people? Because, I know the right has a hard time attributing deaths to inanimate objects like guns, why is it so easy for them to attribute deaths to the words in a book. I mean, how does free will just turn on and off for them depending on the cause. Aren't the hijackers responsible for 9/11? If not and the words written in a book are responsible, shouldn't free speech itself be outlawed?

How can you possibly be surrounded by nothing but rational politically-smart folk?

Because it's 2015? Or, because that's who I choose to surround myself with?

Seriously though, I've never heard anyone spew that kind of vitriol. Even jokingly. Must jest be ridnek Albeerta thangs.

Were the SS troops who lined Jews up along ditches and machine gunned them the only ones responsible, or was the ideology and leadership that inspired them accountable for it too? International law already decided questions like that decades ago. And practically all civilized nations long ago said that free speech doesn't include incitement to violence.

Again here you don't differentiate between Islamist terrorists and all Muslims. Dr. Oz, Casey Kasem, Karem Abdjul Jabar, Salman Rushdie, Dave Chappelle, and Busta Rhymes didn't "fly jetliners into office towers, shoot women in the back of the head for dressing improperly, throw acid in the faces of little girls going to school, or post videos on the internet decapitating people with knives" either. In fact,you're probably more like to commit a heinous murder than any of those peple.

So if those people have to be painted with the same brush as terrorists by simple fact they're muslim, then you ahve to be painted with the same brush as the KKK.

In case you and the rest haven't figured it, out everyone of us here hates terrorists. We don't have a problem with that, we're with you on that.

The problem is that you want to label all Muslims as terrorists, when that is not the case.

@Thanos

OK but when 99.9% of the followers dont act that way, how can you place the blame on the religion based on the small minority of those who do? If 5% of football fans had violent criminal records or 10% of heavy metal fans were found to cheat on their taxes, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be blaming their ideology. Would you?
