Did someone really make that comment about Canadian Jews? <br /><br />Color me something different from these guys, who take hatred beyond race.

This new law ...Ooh boy... Thanks for this Charlie.<br /><br />This new law is very much like our old "sus" laws which in the seventies and eighties were worked in conjunction with a Dulux Paint colour chart (if you were brown enough you got stopped). Even today, black youths and people "who look muslim" are very much more likely to be stopped and searched than even the scallies with the teeth marks in their ears and somebody's blood on their shoes.<br /><br />(" If we can embrace pedophiles, surely we can embrace Canadian Jews." - WTF!?!?)Kevin Musgrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472110857057175327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-37994757344395949952010-05-03T08:16:32.652-07:002010-05-03T08:16:32.652-07:00I'm strongly inclined to avoid religion and po...I'm strongly inclined to avoid religion and politics too, unless I'm absolutely sure of my audience (yeah, that's kind of cowardly, I know). But I'm very glad you chimed in on this issue, Charlie. I knew you'd have something to say about it eventually, and I've been waiting. What a revoltin' development.

Those arses keep doing things like buying tv and radio systems, sponsoring their brand of politicians.

It's always us and them.<br /><br />The best way to unite "us", is always seems to be to have a "them" to hate.<br /><br />So differences are the best way to create a "them"<br /><br />As a child I spent several years in Wales where I was bullied because I was English. There were no blacks of catholics in the area.<br /><br />A woman I spoke to once from Yorkshire, in England, said when she was a child every kid in the village had at least 10 generations in the graveyard - there were no outsiders at all. So she was bullied because she had red hair.<br /><br />For all that I love people individually, as a species I often despair of humanityKim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-10952110861501391402010-05-03T01:48:51.045-07:002010-05-03T01:48:51.045-07:00Jimmy is right but just BTW I knew the name Joe Ar...Jimmy is right but just BTW I knew the name Joe Arpaio rang an unpleasant bell. I had read about him in the blog Jon's Jail Journal - a Brit who wrote about the inhuman treatment meted out in Arpaio's jail. <br />This apparently is now a book 'Hard Time' by Shawn Attwood. I wrote about this some time ago in my blog and an American friend pointed out that Arpaio's reign continues because many, many Americans continue to vote for him.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-86105726907858925512010-05-03T00:28:21.472-07:002010-05-03T00:28:21.472-07:00Politics and religion is always best left where yo...Politics and religion is always best left where you found it Charlie... in this case, on the bottom of your shoe.Barlinniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555629852012324360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-87048255233309722862010-05-02T22:25:28.442-07:002010-05-02T22:25:28.442-07:00If I avoided politics and religion I'd have ha...If I avoided politics and religion I'd have half as much to write about. Those are the only two subjects that people have taken issue with me in the comments. Well, that's what they're for! If bloggers put their opinions out there they should expect opposition occasionally.<br /><br />I did not know about the bill's sponsor having ties to neo-nazis. Why has THAT fact not been put forward by our illustrious Mass Media??<br /><br />The whole thing is sickening.
