I rather suspect the right to fire at will is not just a concern of bigwigs in washington - i rather suspect its something that every chamber of commerce from North Carolina to Alaska is intent on defending.

no idea what your actual point is. seems like it makes no substantive difference and that if u had comprehended the gist and not the letter of my post u would realize that.

Wrong there -- I do not want to make it illegal to offend other people. That would just be retarded and against freedom of speech.

However, I get tired of some others who express outrage or bitter sarcasm towards me, just because to me personally, I find some slur comment offensive.

then u r probably just running the crowd. and u merely get hit w/ the spray.

Hey Aggie.

Did you forget about Concordia so soon? Way more Muslims in Canada than Jews.

as an aside, there's probably no better way to make me an anti semite then to go around shutting up ppl who happen to have an opinion.

How could I forget when I mentioned it in a previous post?

As I said, the coverage of that was rather one-sided, and not in favour of the Islamic students. In fact it wasn't the just the Islamic students.

Anyway, the fact that anti-semitism gets so much play when I believe Canadian Muslims have a worse time of it (especially post 911) speaks to my point.

Now, pin head, do you want to maintain that there isn't a problem?

Yawn.... I already responded to this. That's relatively small fry compared to the stuff I mentioned before.

And if you are going to start calling me an anti-semite and a Nazi then you have essentially proved my point.

edit: and you, of all the posters on this forum, are not one to be calling others a pin head.

And here I was feeling bad about being too harsh.

Oh yeah - how many Jewish folks have died in shootouts? What percentage fall under the poverty line? What percentage fail to graduate high school? What percentage are unemployed? Homeless? Subject to domestic violence?

So, poverty is something that does not effect jewish people? Why, are they all rich and ruling the world according to your comfort zone?

There are no jewish high school drop outs? Why, they have some racial edge?

Jewish women are never beaten by husbands? You have some facts to back that up?

And, just WTF does all that have to do with religiously or racially motivated violence against people by people they are not related to? What's the answer, genius?

Why do you want to deny that there are problems related to anti-semitism even in a 'safe' place, like Canada?

You mean you said that they aired a show you did not like and you assume that they are part of the ZOG conspiracy.

Keep digging, buddy.

Ahh, we are getting closer to the 'jews rule the world' theory. Please tell.

'Pro-Israel media empire'? Are those the people with whom you disagree that anti-semitism could be a problem?

As for how much is committed by angry Arabs... No need to go outside the family. White neo-Nazis can fill the quota quite well, I think.

If you'd watched the show, you'd know what he was talking about. Piece of **** masquerading as journalism. And Jews don't have to rule the world for there to be a "certain" media conglomerate that's extremely friendly towards Israel.

Plus one of my best friends from McGill was on the show. The big guy with the dark hair and possibly glasses who's head of Hillel at McGill and Concordia...he was a classmate of mine through uni and CEGEP. Unfortunately leading Hillel turned him into a schizoid with an inability to talk about anything other than Israel...

Only as of the last 5 years or so have there been more Muslims than Jews in Canada.

What's bizarrely funny is that, of all minorities, Jewish people probably have it the best. They are certainly much better off than Hispanics or Afro-Americans. Anti-semitism exists, but it has been notoriously unsuccessful at immiserating the Jewish community who seem to be doing quite well in Canada and the US.

I mean, imagine it, a wealthy, well educated and prosperous community with a very low rate of incarceration and victimization by the police is complaining about their lot. How ridiculous.

This doesn't excuse anti-semitism, but it makes me wonder why it should have that much of a profile seeing as how it doesn't seem to cause much evil.

So its ok, to say racist things about Japenese Americans, cause they do well, but not Hispanics, cause they dont?

Racism is wrong without regard to the socio-economic status of the vicitms. One cannot be sure of the long term consequences of hate, and so it makes no sense to evaluate its seriousness based on its current effects.

I also note that hate is often directed against affluent minorities - Jews in 1920's Germany, Chinese in south east Asia, Protestants in 17thc France, etc.

what stuff you mentioned before? i dont see any incidents in Canada youve mentioned.

Maybe its different up there, but anti-muslim incidents get lots of play here in the states. Just as much as antisemitic incidents.

Both are wrong. Both should be fought. Theres no point I can see in trying to start a rivalry about which is more serious. Bigotry is bigotry.

Due minorities (not just Jews) often thrive despite bigotry - yup. Is this a reason to minimize the importance of bigotry - i dont think so.
