    Hmm I seem to remember it taking a lot to get this information. Lawsuits, and the threat of cutting off funding. Nasty business that.

  2. Re:Who did they sell to? on Chinese Couple Sells Kids To Fund Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    Kids sell for a lot on China. In fact there's a huge kidnapping industry in China for children. Child snatching happens a lot outside of the major cities. Especially for boys, sometimes girls. What for? Well I have no idea, people I know there, have no idea. People think it's everything from slave mills to produce goods, to grow them up and harvest their organs, to selling them to americans, europeans and russians.

    Would this be the same mysterious rallies where people shouted 'nigger' and so on, but can offer no proof. Even though there's a $100k bounty to provide proof? Yeah I doubt it. Being a canuck, I've been to a few myself. And I never saw this racism.

    Well shit, then again I guess Obama spending more in 3mo than Bush Jr. did in 8 years is pretty telling. You need to invent shit in order to keep the idiots in hand.

    Oh you mean controlling the number of fishermen, and the totals caught. Because european countries have been running amok and fishing up everything they can get their hands on, and china, and russia? Ah yeah. Corporatism my ass. Canada placed artificial limits on fishing damaging our industry because no one else gives a rats ass.

    Of course this has created a nice boom in fishfarms.

    Oh and if my other reply isn't enough. You can read this(that's queens university in canada) it's rather dated, but covers the 20/80 and 10-10 on theft, and employee theft. My text books and notes are buried over yonder, and I still have no interest in digging through them. And they're more up to date based off of 99 though 2006.

    Grab a copy of your favorite criminology journal(or hit a library for a back copy). Or you can read the canuck textbook called criminology today. It's short, weighs in at around 350 pages. It covers the crime theories, and incidence rates of theft in a given population. 80% will steal, of that number 30% will steal no matter what. The other 50% will steal if they think they can get away with it.

    I'm not that so many are, police know it, lawyers know it, the courts know it. Private companies specializing in employee theft know it. It's taught in all criminology courses regardless of what theory you're studying(or all of them), and basic psych courses. And the last time I made this statement based on the knowledge that I was taught. People said I was lying, didn't know what I was talking about, etc. A very small minority of people will never steal. I can't be bothered to go back through my comment history.

    But, to the people who replied to my original comment back a few months ago, I'll take your apologies now.

    Just a personal opinion, Yomiuri is okay. But it's pretty close to sensationalist journalism without the meat. In the future people would be better off using well just about anything else.

  15. Re:The Murdoch scandal is the tip of the iceburg on Online Call To Shoot President Ruled Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with gutting the federal government. The US is built on limited power at the federal level, and minimalist intervention, meaning that the states are supposed to be the big players. It's not factual, rather it's people not understanding their own history.

  16. Re:And if the president was Republican? on Online Call To Shoot President Ruled Free Speech · · Score: 0

    I guess you missed the 8 years when Bush was in office. Liberals and other leftwing nuts regularly called for his dead, published books, and wrote assassination fantasies which were published as book, including burning of mass effigy's and all the rest. And...funny that, I don't remember very many going on about "liberal violence" even though the nutjob that shot Giffords and others was a leftwinger.

    Rather most felt pity.

  18. Re:Looks like on Terror Attack On Norwegian Government · · Score: -1, Troll

    There's been ~17.5k terrorist attacks by muslims since 9/11. You can either bury your head in the sand, or realize that there's no 'small minority' and that "attacking the infidel's is mainstream." Islam needs to have a reformation, otherwise we'll end up where we were back before the crusades. Expansionist Islamists attacking the infidel's in order to take everything they have. Or rather that's what we're already seeing. I mean it only took Spain 200 years of relentless attacks against them, and then Muslims turning around and refusing to allow Christians the right to travel to holy sites that started the crusades in the first place.

    Why do you think that? Nothing earth shattering has happened in the last 8 years where they were appointed and replaced, in a minority. Nothing earth shattering happened when the liberals were in charge for over a decade. Judge selection in Canada is generally impartial based on the merits of the judge at the federal level, has and continues to be. Provincial politics, not so much, but it's by far better than elected judges. Of course a judge breaching the judicial oath system is actually a fairly serious offence here. Meaning a judge can end up going off to prison in the worst case. The basic rule of judges is: You can hold no political affiliation, nor own businesses or enterprise in Canada. They must act as agents of the people.

    I realize that you think that 'conservatives' are doom to you, but some of the greatest acts against the canadian rights and freedoms have come from liberals. Not to mention corruption.
