Yes indeed. The stability, safety, and abundance in our lives leaves us with nothing better to do to keep us interested than have these cultural struggles. America, and Canada are both rich. Even our poor are well off, unless they are too mentally unstable to figure out how to use the system. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

Yes, do be careful. Several people die every year in Belgium from lightning strikes, and hundreds in car accidents. Add to the that 31 that killed and 240 or so recently injured and it is clear. Belgium is potentially dangerous. But yes, it does grab your attention. Have a safe trip. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

"Have you noticed that every society that allows citizens to drive cars and freely obtain alcohol gets repaid with carnage greater than that caused by firearms?" The Shadow BTW, 'Mein Kampf' was illegal when I lived in Germany, since it was considered unprotected hate speech, and those who sought to follow its teachings were ostracized. Since 'Mein Kampf' is a study in sweetness and light compared to the Koran, it would make sense to treat it an its adherents similarly. Since the Profit Muhammad (may he rot in hell) was an unabashedly murderous perverted psychopath, the Suras are not open to much in the way of interpretation. It's like saying Jeffrey Dahmer may have killed and eaten young men, but that wasn't what he really meant when he spoke about it. Bullshit. Muhammad was a truly evil human being, a sexual predator who was vicious as the day is long, every much as Jeffrey Dahmer was a necropheliac cannibal. If anything, Jeffrey Dahmer had more to recommend him. If anyone was to form a cult that revered Jeffrey Dahmer, the only response could be "dude, you are beyond fucked up," yet somehow we are supposed to 'respect' people who follow someone who makes Jeffrey Dahmer look like a Boy Scout. Religion of peace? Read the fucking book. Most of it is about subjugating anyone who is not totally on board with whatever Muhammad said, and by the time you get to Sura 9 the tone is screw it, kill anyone who strays at all. This is, of course, not the slightest bit metaphorical. The old story comes to mind of the person who nursed a snake back from near-death, only to be surprised to be bitten by it. "Hey, you knew I was a snake, didn't you?" I have known Socialists/Communists who had not read The Communist Manifesto or any of the other works of Marx, Lenin et al. (I have); they just cherry picked what they thought were the key points. Similarly, I have known devout Christians who had not read any translation of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures in their entirety (I have), but took all of it as The Truth (tm). Similarly, many Muslims do not speak or read Arabic, and know the Koran only by liturgical rote, and others have never taken the time to wade through it (it's a dreadful read). Thus, when they say "it's a religion of peace," as far as they know, it is. It turns out that the adherents who rape and slaughter are following the Muslim writings line and verse. Those who do not are those who have not picked up on the instruction to do so in no uncertain terms. Since the game plan to get the hot and cold running virgins (virgins are overrated) is to slaughter as many innocents as possible in the process, the idea that the only good Muslim is a dead one rings false. There is nothing good about the assholes who victimized Brussels, Paris or much of anyone else in the process of becoming dead. I do not recommend responding to Muslims in kind, since is is like wrestling with a pig. What I would like to see is to have Islam treated like the KKK. If a Grand Mufti and a Grand Dragon got equal respect, it would be an improvement. If wearing a burqua and wearing a white hood were seen as equivalent, that would be a start. You can be a Klansman or a Muslim, but please keep it to yourself. BSBD, Winsor I'm no fan of religions in general, and of the faiths called "Abrahamic" I dislike Islam the most. For all the reasons you give. At 3 Billion adherents, I'd say it's imperative that the world find a way of coping with them. It's not like they are a sect that is going away. I don't care what the Prophet taught, or what the Koran says. I care only what the people are doing. The terrorism is not coming from the refugees. The refugees are the victims of the extremists. Islam is at war with itself. Far more than it is with the west. It is struggling between the 5th century view and the modern view. I have no answer on how to end this nightmare. But blaming the refugees is not helpful. Personally, I'd be happy to see the west attack and destroy both Mecca and Medina. Turn them into smoking piles of radioactive ash. Maybe Putin can come across from the East. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I agree that the primary election system in the US is promoting extremism on the right. And has been since the Tea Party movement. Also on the left, but to a lesser degree. There is Bernie, but other than him the Dems seem to mostly be centrist. I disagree that a Constitutional Amendment is needed. If that were to happen the results would be unpredictable. In my view what is needed is a more engaged electorate. One that actually votes in the system you already have. If things get bad enough people will come out to vote in primaries and mid-terms.

Have you noticed that every nation that fails to keep control of firearms among the population gets repaid with destruction and body count?

I understand what you are saying. But I think the flaw may be that fiscal conservatives, although numerous, are a minority of voters. That's why in the two party system, the more right wing of the parties needs to form a coalition of people with very different agendas to govern. In Canada we currently have a system with three major parties. Most often the centrist party does best. The two parties in the US are actually both centrist. But each must attract votes from the outside edges of the spectrum to win. Right now, the right party is in trouble. Largely because it promised too much to the right wing in an effort to hold onto power when in reality a small majority of the population wants to move left. Add to this the stress of a demographic shift in which white people have somewhat less power. Some of those people, not the majority, but some, are not willing to accept this fact. It's really about a change. Politicians are scrambling to adapt. Like everyone else. The vast majority of Americans are not really having a problem coping with the change. But at the edges, tempers are fraying. Emerging from these cracks comes The Donald. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Because Hillary will get two terms? Plus set the Dems up for more wins? I don't understand that part, unless you fear she will do a really good job. Which is probably what will happen, she's a very good candidate. Edit to add-- I think I understand now. You think a term of Trump will be devastating enough to destroy the rot in the R party.

Oh. I clearly misunderstood when GTAV said this: "scares the shit out of me" It IS pretty ambiguous. I agree that many who oppose Trump are right off the reservation in their expressions of fear over the possibility of him winning. Even if he did, it probably won't be that bad. The people with the most to lose are the Rs. They have good reason to be fearful. The damage he has done to their party already is fearsome. And more will follow soon.

I can see that it makes a lot of sense for you, and for most people moving themselves around a mild weather city.

My wife and I have a LEAF. It's a great car. It has so many advantages over a gas car, and is so much nicer to drive, that we don't ever want to buy another gas car. I see you live in Victoria. What's your range like? Electric car may be fine there. Not so much in Winnipeg during a prairie winter! I'm guessing your wife and yourself also have a second, more practical vehicle.

Fine, and those that are scared of Trump and all his supporters are paranoid bigots. Personally, I am more fearful of a President Trump than I am of Islamic terrorism. Mostly because of the vastly greater power of a US President. That said, I am not overly fearful of either. Both can be contained. Terrorists by the fact that they are largely self defeating. Trump by both the fact that Clinton will beat him soundly. And if not the separation of powers in the US will rein him in.
