Socrates Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 [quote name='liseski' timestamp='1295022876' post='2200052'] True dat. I find even liberal Democrats a bit tight. [/quote] From my experience, Canadiens are just like liberal Yankees but more so. Same general fear and loathing of guns and religion, same love of big government, "progressive" social causes, and socialized everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 [quote name='Hasan' timestamp='1294969785' post='2199875'] I can point to individuals who hold radical beliefs on par with yours. All of them followed these radical conclusions with radical actions. Not necessairly mass atrocities like Bin Laden, or even targeted violence, like the Russian anarchists of the 19th century, but usually radical, life transforming actions on some scale. Something that fundamentally removes them from the illegitimate society they seek to transform. [/quote] Anarchists used to do cool stuff like throw bombs. Now they mostly just whine a lot on teh interwebz. Oh the times! Standards have indeed fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kujo Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 You people are dumb. Stop arguing about your redonkulous political nonsense and say a rosary thanking God for delivering this woman from the grave. And maybe toss in a prayer or two for the other victims and their families. Here's a new rule: for every stupid, self-aggrandizing comment you make, you've gotta say a prayer for someone involved in this shooting. Give the contents of this post, I've got a handful of prayers to make for myself. Let's all follow the leader, now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even bother anymore and most of my peers talk about my own views then I do.... And I agree with Tolkien's quote, and I have read the whole letter that is from and it is fantastic.

Ed Normile Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Guys can we stop throwing the word anarchist around, everytime I see it I have to do a double take as it at first looks like antichrist to me. Why do we not just agree to use malcontent or nihilist instead? ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
