    Religious nutbags become ineffectual when you introduce prosperity and equality to their followers at the expense of meddling, war and neocolonialism.

    Well the Chinese just bulldoze your house if they need the land. We have something called property rights unless you live in Connecticut.

    Exactly why you Americans, and even more so, we Canadians, are becoming the new third world.
    A few "big farmers", excuse me, rich republican rednecks are crying "NIMBY",even though most of the US land is either public, or owned by the rich... ummm I already referred to these guys.
    Say! Just how many thousands of acres do YOU own, big boy Assemberx?
    Oh! Less than 20? hmmnnn... I don't think YOUR property rights are much in danger.
    But Ok brave big boy minuteman- grab yer rifle and go off and defend "your" freedom while the rich guys chuckle.
    Anyhow-
    We Canadians along with Africa have the slooooowest trains on the planet Earth.
    Oh, wait! ...

    South Africa is now building a "super" train on par with those of Europe, Japan, China and South America!
    Ironically, it's being built by a company that was once considered "Canadian".
    Golly- I guess Canada really IS in the 4th world now! Hey, USA, you plan on joining us joining us? Welcome to the club!

    I was once out with a woman who trained dogs. This rather large dog went ape shit towards this woman and child. The owner of the dog talked to the dog and "scolded" it for its behavior. That was it. The trainer said that the owner of the dog was an idiot because one day that dog is going to attack someone and maybe seriously hurt them or kill a child. The owner should have put that dog in a head lock, slammed it into the ground, and let in know by no uncertain terms that its behavior was wrong. I guess preventing deadly attacks by dogs is now illegal.

    Oh God. I'd rather have someone kick the shit out of their dog than beat the shit out of me.

    DAMN RIGHT! Not just a headlock. That dog owner should have beaten that shit dog to within AN INCH of that miserable dogs life!
    Hey- it works with children, doesn't it? My friends kids all respect their elders! They were beaten proper right!
    Same goes for dogs!
