Low flush toilets are a myth, in most cases you have to flush twice.
Good for you on the other points.
Why do you have to add personal attacks? Just because I don't share your opinion? This is the second time you have attacked me personally..I am just cuious why?

Dog crap, composted, is just fine for the lawn
I don't know what you're eating but the low flush works just fine for me
It may be the 40th personal attack but I'm not counting and it's because I am concerned for your mental well being
I am neither a worry wort, aged, a pussy, reactionary or over analytical.Diode said:But, Blitz, Help me understand, ok? Why have Canadians Changed into a group of worry warts? Is it because, as a population, we are aging?
Why do we analize, to a fault other people's belifes (like Creationism), and then tag them as monsters, or at least posible monsters.
When we know, that others consistanly, lie and steal, but we won't hold them acountable for their actions.
At the same time, can you name a federal party with more ethnically diverse MPs in caucus?blitz said:Feel free to vote Conservative but mark my words, until the Reform elements are removed from that party you will not see a Federal Conservative governemnt in this country.
Perception IS reality and the party is viewed by many as an immigrant hating, gay rights loathing, social cost cutting party that observes only the christian religion while they load their guns, lord over women's bodies and pollute the planet. It's not my fault that they have the shittiest image consultants on the face of the earth and some of the most hateful, redneck, creationist MP's in parliament.
I'll remain provincially Conservative and federally Liberal until they can show me someting different.
thanks for confirming the agenda of allianceDiode said:You gotta be kidding, Right?
Woman's Rights: Don't Confuse Abortion Policy with Woman's Rights.
It's posible to be Pro woman and Pro Life !
In fact, half of all abortions wil result in the Termination of a woman-to-be.
Gay rights: Has Haper said Gay people are not intitled to the same basic rights as straights? Don't give me the gay marriage thing as a retort. We use different words to describe Homo, and Hetro-sexuals...We should use different words to describe Homo and Hetro Partner ships
Minority Rights?Immigration: UM, what have the conservatives said that will stop or change either. And what do you say about the more ethnically diverse Conservative party, as compared to the Grits? A rouse?
Public Healthcare:If you truly buy the party line that Canada has world leading Healthcare, you are simply FOOLISH, and have had the wool pulled over your eyes. Investigate the worlds systems (My business) and you will be shocked by the pathetic Canadian System. Oh and what about MY rights? It's ILLEGAL for me to buy medically nessesary healthcare in Canada, I must wait my turn. The Law. And unfair!
Public Daycare: We don't need it. If I did not have to pay so much Tax, my wife could stay home with the kids. Public Daycare will add a further tax burden, and even more couples, will have to become dual income earners. This is a foolish, waste of money, AND adds to allready oversized government.
Environmental Laws: Sorry I disagree. We've stalled all reasonable development to "worry" about the environment. We must put human advancement first. I know not popular with the NEW religion of environmentalism> However the state force feeding of this religion does nothing but take away Human drive to build and achive.
Health Spending: see above!
Education Spending: Further wastefull goverment programs that line the "educrats" pockets, while still delivering poor results? Shake it up! Spend less and DEMAND more! Home school. Oh and by the way, where is the IVY Leauge? Canada? Or the evil US?
Equality of Religion: HUH? I thought Canadians were interested in keeping their religion Private. What do we need, a Ministry of Love, that makes sure the numbers of Christans, Jews, Muslims, etc..remains the same?
Wastefull Government effects all Canadians. Throw the bums out!
we have had a number of years of federal surpluses. so your argument does not suit the facts.langeweile said:I suggest you take a look to Europe. The reluctants of the Europeans to have sensible (note: I said sensible, not eliminating) social spending has pushed them in a hole, which they will have a hard time to come out.
Already the most affected goverments like France and Germany have to re-think the policies of the past. i.e France is trying to reverse the 35 hour week.
The German chancelllor just got his ass handed to him in a regional election last week.
Small economic growth rates(some of them negative) high taxation, unemployment well above 10% will make it diffcult for most of these countries to get out of this.
The options are:
1) Cut spending
2) Raise Taxes
3) Borrow money.
Neither of those look too sexy to me.
I am not suggesting to do away with all social spending, not at all. A rich country like Canada has the obligation to help the less fortunate. The question is will it be limitless? Until we hit the wall like the Europeans? Or are we going to have a serious and informed discussion?
I don't understand why people don't want to learn from other people's experience?

actually they realize exactly that and thats what most easterners don't likeTruncador said:What they don't realize, and what the media of course doesn't tell them, is that in Canada social conservatism means things like getting rid of the gun registry, keeping the ban on pot, letting Parliament and not the SC decide on gay marriage, etc.
Perhaps you should have highlighted the "perception IS reality" part of my post that lead the paragraph you chose to pick apart.someone said:At the same time, can you name a federal party with more ethnically diverse MPs in caucus?
why is it that if people disagree with your political views, they must be anti-anything? maybe, just maybe, they have a different point of view than you. maybe they have friends or family who are gay or who are women - and thus have real concerns about what the alliance will dojohnhenrygalt said:Perception is not reality.
But the irrational, hysterical and apoplectic anti-Alberta and anti-Conservative xenophobia has so gripped the urban voters (and media) of Ontario, BC and English-speaking Montreal that the moderate policies espoused by the Conservative party are incorrectly painted as being "extreme".
This is not accurate. The average citizen is out working every day and leaves these issues to their elected representatives. but- they elect the ones they believe represent their points of view.Diode said:Unfortunatly, you're right.
Canadians ( I am born and Bred) have changed from a strong and agresive "do something" people, to a group of old ninnies, who worry, dither and "have concerns", about " Oh my gosh...what if?? "
It's too bad, We could sezie the day...but what if someone gets left behind?
How about we just dither.

Perception is not reality in any real sense. So you are now saying that you yourself don’t believe any of the characterizations you made? If your now saying that the problem is uninformed voters and not facts, you should say that.blitz said:Perhaps you should have highlighted the "perception IS reality" part of my post that lead the paragraph you chose to pick apart.
Without doing so, your post will now be recycled.
That is exactly the argument that was used in Europe, when I left in 1985. Canada is not nearly as far gone as Europe, by any stretch of the imagination.red said:we have had a number of years of federal surpluses. so your argument does not suit the facts.

Even if you have to flush twice after every dump, there are still all those other times when you just take a whiz and only have to flush once. So you still save plenty of water.
