I think a more apt description of Bush is a Modern day Richard the Lionheart.
A man who couldn't speak the language of the country he 'ruled', an absent leader who let corrupt officials act in leiu, a man who spent vast sums on a Crusade that acheived little and practically bankrupted the country, yet was remembered and revered by most as a great Christian leader and King.
I wonder if George will die the same way as Richard.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

That would indeed be an apt fate!

That's right. Catholics aren't Christian.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

What are you people talking about in those early discussions of euthanasia?
That debate had little or nothing to do with Euthanasia per se - and was resolved to the Liberal viewpoint, not the conservative.
It was primarily - at the heart of the matter - about whether the husband or the parents of the woman had power of attorney over her. No-vegetable statements are legally allowed, and none of the parties to the case objected (meaningfully) to that aspect of it.
Abortions, just like any other medical procedure, are both expensive (they take several trained doctors/techs to do properly and safely) and highly regulated. You can't just get a liver transplant, either, any time you feel like it. And do you really think a socialist (or anything significantly further left than us) government would regulate them LESS? Along with free health care comes a substantial loss of control over when such things are allowed... and don't forget that a significant portion of the united states believes that abortion is murder. Regardless of your opinion on the matter - or mine - you cannot simply say that 'they're all idiots and they must be evil right wing conservative theocrats because they believe something different than I do.' That's horribly egotistical. I disagree with a lot of things, but I don't think people stupid or evil for believing what they do, and if they win in the elections and/or in the courts, I don't decide it's unfair. It's quite fair - unless the elections are rigged, both ideas came to the forefront, and theirs won out.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

What? He's a Christian Fundy whose trying to not seem so fundy. I'm not advocating the military oust his ass. I'd rather see him impeached cause GWB is screwing over our country and is making more flipflops on the Iraq war than EVER. It reminds me on his campaign for 2004 presidency where he was accusing KERRY of flipflopping.
Sounds like Bush2 is being verrrry hypocritical if you ask me. 
He's changing the rhetoric of even the 'insurgents' to 'fundementalist extremist' cause the opinion of the war in Iraq is changing. He's trying to get us to support the war now when it was a sham in the friggin first place! Any sane individual would acknowledge that he's changed his priorities and his mission statement about Iraq at LEAST 3 times.
Worse yet, he's screwing over our military by stretching them too thin. Hey, I support our troops. But I sure as heck don't support the war.

Strangely enough, Canada doesn't have any laws dealing with abortion on the books. They were all struck down in the 80s and not replaced.Blog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.comComment
