Paul Martin's Cabinet

I leave this thread for 4 days and this is what it turns into.

Too bad they don't see it.

Hey Ben....

I'm curious to hear your thoughts regarding Judy Sgro's comments on churches and sanctuary.....

Yeah, it's interesting stuff, but I think there's another poly thread on the topic.

I think the state has a right to put pressure on the churches to expel someone from the sanctuary, but not the right to violate sanctuary.

Most of the time, what happens is that the priests or ministers encourage the evacuee to leave and face the music, so I don't really see a threat to the authority of the state in having an effective sanctuary.

You are an anti-abortion protester. If security is increased around abortion clinics then it is fair to ask if that disrupted your plans.

Fair enough. I put up with enough unsubstantiated allegations already, so I overreacted some.

[Ben Kenobi]

I accuse you of at best, either being disingenuous about the ethnic origin of a guest journalist or at worst, deliberately saying something you knew not to be true to defend yourself, and then also I point out that a man may marry a woman and still be sexist.

No, you accuse me of hating Sikhs without specifying their creed from their nationality. Sikhs don't differentiate between the two so why should you?

Ah, that's Tingkai, not you.

I apologise for the error.

Oh b.s detector goes right off scale!


Where do I accuse you of 'hating' Sikhs?


You're just making this up now.

[Ben Kenobi]

Maybe not you, but Tingkai sure seems to think so.

Why are you doing that? Why are you ignoring the facts? Why are you criticising him for taking a holiday when everyone takes a holiday? Why are you criticising him for going to his house?

Could it be connected to Dosanjh's religion?

[Tingkai]

You're a glutton for punishment. You should let old thread die instead of continuing to dig a deeper hole.

I never accused you of hating Sikhs. I asked whether his religion has anything to do with your irrational hate for Dosanjh.

That question is valid given your fundamentalist attitudes.

If I wanted to accuse you of being prejudiced then I would say you are a prejudice, I wouldn't ask.

This is so obvious that I assumed you recognised the error of your much earlier message. Since you have chosen to repeat your error, I guess I need to explain things to you.

[notyoueither]

Bull. You've taken to slander lately. You did not much but that in this thread with Ben.

[KrazyHorse]

All of you need to stop being *******s immediately.

[notyoueither]

Why. We've got the hockey sticks out now. Can't be put up till they taste blood!

[KrazyHorse]

This isn't a clean fight any more. This is Bertuzzi-esque.

[KrazyHorse]

I blame the Americans who posted in this thread.

[notyoueither]

Are we at 500 yet?

Damn, I thought NYE had learned his lesson, but instead he jumps into a conversation where he's not wanted just so he can throw out some more groundless, pointless insults.

NYE: If you're going to use words like slander then it's a good idea to know what the word means.



Ben: Isn't it great having an Albertan troll who thinks you're so weak that you can't defend yourself. Personally I disagree with much of what you say, but I think you're quite capable of standing up for yourself.

KH: You're right. That's it for me.
