Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

[Kirkhill]

Any Catholic (any religion for that matter) schools in NS are private schools. And STFX is Catholic in name only. There is no compulsory Catholic education portion of their provided services.

That is the bargain that has generally been agreed across the country. Religion is not promoted by government. It is tolerated.

But our problem occurs when our values require us to be tolerant and not beat our wife while others require them to be intolerant and keep their wives in line with the rod.

I wouldn't say it is 'our problem' when those 2 ideologies clash.

This is Canada, and collectively we agree that beating up your wife is a bad thing.


If someone's values are in contrast with that, they are free to leave. But that isn't 'our problem' as much as it is 'their problem'

If they want to stay here, but want to continue beating their wife, then there are legal consequences for doing so.

I am perfectly fine with not accommodating them or their values, even if those values are derived from their culture or religion.

I am not sure what you point is with all of this.



NS got rid of their public Catholic system in '70s.

My point is that we have rules that accord with our enilghtened, liberal society. I like that society and its rules. I want to conserve it.

But others disagree with me and want a different society with different rules. To achieve that they are following Alinsky's rules and making us follow our rules. They are exploiting loopholes to our disadvantage.

To prevent damage to our society then we need to close the loop hole. Often that means breaking our own rules and acting illiberally for a period.

And then the problem becomes how long is that period and when do we get back to "normal".

We had a War Measures Act and there were objections to the use of that.

We have an Emergencies Act and there have been objections to the use of that.

....

These are the reasons I don't run for office. I don't have the necessary arrogance to believe I can get things right. I just hope that somebdy else will.

And that they will act to the benefit of my side.
