  • Yes, Malaysia is not ideal. Nor is it a death cult. All the things you talked about happen in non- Muslim countries. They do FGM in Christian countries in Africa. Should we bomb to smithereens the Christians in Nigeria too? Homosexuality is illegal in Christian, Bhuddist and Hindu countries. Should we label them all a death cult as well and…[Read more]

  • Jake has a point that anti-Semitism was utterly rife at the time in Europe. But Jake, Autumn said “fulled by”, not “emerged from”. All of Europe saw strong anti-Semitism. It came to its ugliest via Nazi Germany. Full scale insanity was, in part, fuelled by Germany being put under the same kind of pressures that Palestine is. That doesn’t justify…[Read more]

  • Maybe the Wokester Progressive types would be less sympathetic to Hamas if it were revealed that the Hamas underground tunnels had miniature halal chicken ranches…vhere zee animals are to be BRED UND SLAUGHTERED!!!

    Nope. Nice try Enco. Another one of your standard strawmen. No one here is sympathetic to Hamas. No one condones what they have don…[Read more]

  • Nothing in your reply signals anything other than justification for a dehumanising view of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. Yes, anti-semitism is rife, timeless and a serious problem. Totally agree with you. Disappointed by your own bigotry Jake.

    Philosophers have always been concerned with the question of how best to philosophize.

    Is philosophy really too specialised?  I see mathematics, science and philosophy as three parts of the same thing – the systematic search for knowledge.  We would’t say that mathematics and science are too academic and s…[Read more]

  • You know Canadians would be aghast and support the apprehension and elimination of such a hypothetical group.

    A couple decades change people very fast. Russians are very sympathetic to the barbaric behaviour of Russian troops. Being a mostly white western people doesn’t make them inherently “civilised”. We could easily transpose ourselves to…[Read more]

  • Judged through the lens of history and in relation to other wars yes.

    No. The only way you can arrive at the unjustifiable is through dehumanising others. Admit it.

  • Nah Jake. You’re just parroting dehumanising drivel. Canada would act differently [because they are more civilised white people]. Palestinians are collectively responsible (including babies) for Hamas. War is hell. Of course it is. That is no excuse for reprehensible behaviour anymore than say, the fact that you are operating in the business world…[Read more]

  • Robert,

    Your stance on Palestine is so extreme, so brazenly Islamophobic, so utterly dehumanising and cold blooded it is disturbing. You simply cannot cast mass blame on an entire people and justify the excessive rampage by Israeli forces, regardless of the circumstances. You don’t mind them being crushed like little ants because they are…[Read more]

  • Robert, your casual inhumanity towards civilians is really sickening. If it was wrong for militants to indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians, it is wrong for Israel to murder over a thousand civilians in anything but precision attacks against militants. It was wrong to firebomb Germans in Dresden, it was wrong to nuke Japan twice and it was…[Read more]

  • I haven’t watched the video (sorry it is way too long). I simply don’t see any massacre of civilians as being justifiably provoked. There is always the option of military targets.

    If you start justifying murdering civilians per being provoked, you could justify the Israeli army’s current daily murdering of totally innocent bystanders in their…[Read more]

  • Enco, one guy, who wasn’t wearing a neck guard, died. It is being thoroughly investigated, and ALREADY my ice hockey team (just last night) mandated neck guards and being more careful while skating and a review of other equipment. We had a thorough discussion about it and will have a later discussion on a zero violence policy in our matches

    As…[Read more]

  • Unseen,

    The problem is that it’s unbelievable that the guns are used anywhere near as often for that purpose. Do you mean like the guy who didn’t like your lane change and pointed his gun at the other person along with silently mouthing “POW!!!”
    Only the morally-inverted and deranged would consider that to be self-defense.

    First of all, part of…[Read more]

  • Jake you’ve gone full fledged Muslims are a malevolent force that have turned Europe into a land where women flee from rapists. You have no problem (rightfully) complaining about anti-Semitism while you brazenly participate in shameless gross Islamophobic narratives.

    Gross Jake. Gross.

    I’m glad you read a book. A book by a bigot. Reading a book…[Read more]

  • Robert, you are, genuinely verging into the territory of islamophobia. You are in that grey zone now, closer to Islamophobia than not. No one here on this site, condones the destructive forces of religion, Islam is by no means, any exception. No one here is a fan of Hamas’s policies, nor does anyone here do anything other than fully condemn acts…[Read more]

  • Some crucial details left out here, that were made very clear early on in this story:

    Notice and pay attention to what the story covered. This man was a trained Army Reserve Marksman…You know, trained by the very Government whom you think is the only one that can determine who is competent to keep and bear arms.

  • Some number of days ago he was a good guy with a gun. Mass shootings are usually defined as 4 or more casualties, and we have had around 500 of those so far this year.

    We lose around 108 people a day to gun violence. Picture what 100 dead bodies looks like, every day. Well over 300 people get shot on the average day.

    MORE GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Indeed, saw a documentary about the struggles of Ethiopian Jews as well as other more “exotic”Jews such as those from Persia, India and Central Asia (Uzbekistan etc). They have also found themselves struggling on the social ladder which seems to be somewhat akin to how close they are culturally to Western Europe. Of course the story is far more…[Read more]

  • I would refer to Israel only as a moderately secular state, not even as secular as Hungary or Poland at the moment (which are terribly unsecular compared with the rest of Europe. Even though many people are not practicing and many government intuitions and policies are more secular than they easily could be, it is still a state whose origin, being…[Read more]

  • I agree with much of what you have said Jake. Indeed, I volunteered in the Beirut Palestinian refugee camp and they were, absolutely, treated terribly. I disagree with your assessment that arab citizens in Israel are treated the same as other citizens. They face systemic discrimination, often severe poverty compared with other Israelis, barriers…[Read more]
