    Ben doesn't believe in turning the other cheek - he has said that he'd too lazy, selfish, and angry to be bothered following all of Christ's commandments/ideals - just the ones about Jesus hating gays.
    Well then. I think I'll bump that thread instead of this one and we can discuss that, there.

          Rest in Peace Jack Layton

          I don't know much about him, but as he is a fellow human being, I pray for his family and friends to be comforted.

            Ben. Why? The man is dead. I don't know anything about him, but let this be, there is something called respect for the dead? Why are you so negative of him?

              Because he was a left-wing/socialist politician.

                I'm going to refrain from answering Nikolai's comment here.

                  I didn't agree with most of his policies, but I still respected the man. RIP

                    Layton was one of the good ones.

                    Even when I didn't agree with him, I could see that he came to his positions honestly and not as the result of cynical political maneuvering. It's hard to find a politician like that in any party.

                        Agreed. I met him a few years back and he seemed like a decent enough guy.

                        RIP Jack.

                                While I don't agree with most of his policies, Layton was probably (was) the best human being out of all the leaders. Hell, I voted NDP for the 1st time ever in part due to him (that, and the local Conservative guy is useless.)
