    Brilliant move by Canadian

    From what I've read, it seems like a fairly new law. It forbids non-Canadian citizens from imploring Canadians to vote for or NOT vote for a certain candidate. These laws completely and totally violate the First Amendment Canada doesn't have a First Amendment They may have a Freedom of Speech provision (I think, help me out Northies), but they don't have a First Amendment That's just my anal side talking though We have the same freedoms of speech as you have, which is to say none when you really think about it.

    Brilliant move by Canadian

    We have a ridiculously restrictive law, yet was mostly swept under the rug lost amidst the ad scandal. It basically makes it a crime for anyone not of a political party to express views reflected by an established party during an election. Anyway, Section 331 appears to be similar. I'm a huge proponent of free speech and this law is far too broad in its wording.

    America's torture ethic

    Was he a "Person of Interest"? Because if that's the case then he can be accused, interrogated, etcetera and possibly detained without any formal charges being held against him nor an expeditious trial. Just ask Steven Hatfill.

    He thinks he's Batman. That should tell you enough of what you need to know about him.

    Bob Feller: Ali shouldn't have been honored

    So, Ali changed his name and his religion simply to avoid the draft and to betray his country? Riiiiight.....

    Bob Feller: Ali shouldn't have been honored

    A racist Major League ballplayer? Who'd of thunk it? Ali had valid reasons for not wanting to go to war, and he stated it quite eloquently, "No Viet Cong ever called me nigger!" and in any case I question whether Feller's objection is that Ali dodged the draft or that he changed his name to something non-Christian. Ali's done more good for his community and country than people give him credit for, and his decision to not participate in a war that he feels is wrong should be no means detract from the good he has done.

    So why did Saddam have to go...

    Don't be silly: There's no real reason for the US to invade North Korea; China will keep them in line.

    So why did Saddam have to go...

    Kamui or not, I'm glad he's gone. I can't stand people that use their minority status as an excuse to call themselves victims. (damn it wrong thread)

    So why did Saddam have to go...

    I'd say China is far more of a threat than North Korea, Iran, Zimbabwe or any number of little dictatorships could ever hope to be, but frankly China is also too valuable to trading partner for there to ever be anything more than some sabre-rattling at worst.

    Possible Child Abuse at Abu Ghraib

    Terrorists aren't covered under the convention because they do not carry their weapons openly, something which is required of all combatants under the Convention.

    Frequent abuses occuring for decades and the vast majority of people didn't know? Well, the Bishops certainly knew, in fact they've become very adept at sweeping such problems under the rug. And I'm not talking about the lay worshippers, I'm talking about the Priesthood; you can't tell me that even one of them was completely oblivious to the actions of the pedophiles they worked and lived with everyday.

    No where in the Scriptures is it stated that celibacy is required amonst the clergy, it is strictly a Catholic tradition instituted centuries after Christ and one that should be done away with.

    If they knew about the abuses and kept silent then they are equally as culpable as the abusers themselves.

    Low sympathy is higher than what I have for them However, 20-30 years ago, such accusations would not have been believed, much less heard in court, but at least they are facing the consequences now instead of continuing to get away with it.
