Where do I hand in my genitals?
-
I assume you were a conservative before this big life change?
Then the answer is easy.
You never had any.
-
Wait, didn't you do that when you got married? :D
-
Edit: Nash beat me to it. :(
-
Well maybe we're stretching things a bit.
Funked may indeed have genitals (though the jury is still out).
He just never had any USE for them.
:)
-
funked....that was stupid what did you expect....go to bed.
funked just read midnights thread I suggest you go away for a month...
-
Sorry Funky, you can't switch parties. You cannot place an emphasis on feeling rather than thinking.

Yeah, liberal and conservative mean different things up here.
Fiscally, I'm already conservative. Socially the vast majority of Canadian you guys would consider liberal.
-
Yup, I consistently vote conservative up here as well.
Different thing...
-
funked stop being a phag.:)
-
The problem is that being "socially" liberal never stays that way. It always ends up with grabbing more money out of everybody else's wallet.
-
Only difference is that these dip5****s are reaching into your kid's wallets but you refuse to see it.
-
I figured it was kind of different up there as far and the lib/conservative thing went.
Was just wondering why you guys cared so much about what goes on down here. I dont mean that in a snotty way, just sincerely curious.
-
OMG, Funked finally met his sugardaddy?!?!

Because you have all the ****ing nukes.
:D
I didn't call care as much as I do before Iraq. I used to just think that Bush was a tard. A tard without much of a mandate from the US citizens. I still found US politics and social issues interesting. You guys are a powerful nation and right next door.
But my interest became much greater because of Iraq.
-
why? do you honestly think he is going to launch a nuke?

No. But I don't trust him not to start another ill concieved and justifitied war. And he has been screwing us when it comes to "free trade".
I also think it's a bit off the deep end.
-
and how does that effect/affect your life directly? how does the war in iraq directly hurt you? how is this "free" trade stuff hurting you directly?

But Libertarians are socially liberal. They don't want the government involved in any aspect of private lives. That also includes the intrusion of government taxation.

No, it doesn't.
Welfare = fiscal policy.
Gay marriage = social policy.
Prohibition = social policy.
Censorship = social policy.
Prosititution = social policy.

My cost of living "directly" goes up. I become "directly" less safe.

The comic in me wants to reply
Just put them up there on the unused shelf right next to your brain.
However I am not a liberal so I won't say that.

Ask one of these "socially liberal but fiscally conservative" canuckistanians what they think about socialized health care.
Yeah I told ya so.
"Socially liberal but fiscally conservative" is a liberal cop-out, a Kerryesque Waffleism.

Less Canadians employed. Less manufacturing. Less wealth being generated in Canada.

Well Canada is number five on Al-Quaeda's hit list.
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1080788091951_67/?hub=Canada
Granted I don't know where we were five years ago. But some people argue, and I think successfully, that Iraq has turned into a recruiting ground for Al-Quaeda.
On top of that, the Bush Administration has spent well over 100 billion on the Iraq war, while the CIA's budget is only 3 billion. I think that's a huge misallocation of resources vis-a-vis the war against terror. Bush has also said that find OBL isn't a priority anymore.
I think these things make me less safe.
-
so to employ more canadians you would be for more US outsourcing correct?
Also what is canada doing to improve its own safety? This I really dont know, and would like to.

So you are going to pidgeonhole me because I'm "liberal" on one issue? Sorry if I'm not an absolutist. I'm not going to through out the baby with the bath water.

Not just for the sake of having them employed. But in a situation were there is equitable, free trade between our countries. Granted, that the US has an over 50 billion trade deficit with Canada. But we still do almost 170 billion dollars worth of equitable trade, where both countries benefit. The tariffs and the solutions for them simply aren't fair. I like free trade, I think Canada and Canadians can compete with the US, to the benefit of both our countries.
Also what is canada doing to improve its own safety? This I really dont know, and would like to.
Here's one thing.
http://www.dnd.ca/site/newsroom/view_news_e.asp?id=1228
We are also spending a lot of resources on tracking and finding terrorists cells in Canada. And are working very closely with the US in this. Canada may have been against Iraq, but we are certainly for fighting the war against terror. And working closely with the US in this is for our mutual benefit.

Now I'm afraid to open this package I just received.. seems about the size of 2 plums.

Do you think Kerry gives you a better chance at free trade?

I don't know. I do now that Bush has been protectionist. Kerry might be more, less, or the same.
I apply the same reasoning to politians I can actually vote for up here. I vote for the new guy (multiparty system) depending on thier platform. But I simply won't vote for the incumbant if they lied to me even once.
Bush has been protectionist towards Canada (and we are a country that the US even has a free trade agreement with), so I am against him (as well as for other reasons).
To quote Runsfeld, it's a known known.
Kerry might be.
It's an known unknown.

Yes, there are certain things that cover both fiscal and social issues. And there are some that don't. Pigeonholing always sucks, doesn't it.
For example, what is your position on the issues I listed above?

What a humanitarian.

So, why don't you Canucks chip in another 3 billion? You seem to see a threat after all.

Np, thanks for the civil discussion.
For the record, I prefer the term "jinatalia".
"like being pro-abortion but willing to risk his life to save a hamster and then adminster a CPR on it.

Neat! You arbitrarily assign me a characteristic then mock me for having it.
mietla is a tard.
And he's wrong because he's tardarific.

Welfare - Kerryesque Waffleism. I can be talked into agreeing that it is needed in some cases. However I believe it should be reduced drastically, by an order of magnitude. We need to get government expenditures down to about 10% of GDP to ensure the viability of our economy in the long run.
Gay marriage - Government should not regulate marriage in any way. If people want to make contracts with each other there are plenty of laws on the books to cover that already.
Prohibition - Individuals can determine what they want to put in their body. Government has no right to interfere.
Censorship - None of the government's business to tell us what to read or what to see or hear.
Prosititution - If two people agree to have sex it is not the government's business if they exchange money or anything else.

Right, well, I agree with pretty much all of this. I would call the above "fiscally conservative and socially liberal", in a general sense. Would you not? Certainly you can't call yourself a Republican...gay marriage and prostitution.

Nope a fetus is not a child.
But don't pigeonhole me yet!
I don't fit exclusively into a pro-choice mold, nor pro-life. Neither side would accept me.
I'm pro-choice but am generally against late term abortions.

I've never really understood this whole fetus/child thing. Is there some mystical moment when life enters a fetus and it becomes a human being?

Depends on who you talk to. Some people believe the act of a sperm entering an egg makes it a child instead of say a zygote.
The point that I believe a fetus becomes "human" is the point at which it can live outside the mother.
It's really a question of lable assignment. And people say "semantics" is silly. ;)

Damn good question. Do *you* know the answer? Can you prove it?
Or would you say every sperm is sacred? In that case, you'd better not get a paper cut because thousands of blood cells will die, and each of them had a hand in creating your seed. And don't forget the E. Coli living in your gut. A thousand years of torment in boiling oil will you suffer for every fart.

I don't know. However, I think I know where callousness towards human life, especially the weakest and most vulnerable, will take us. Can Soylent Green be too far ahead? ;)

Yum. ;) No, what I think is that, since we don't know and we can't ever know, we leave this decision to individuals, and depend on their own morality (i.e. their own definition of when a fetus becomes a child). And those of us who are religious trust that God will dole out judgement when and where it is due.
It is not a matter of callousness. We'd like to make a law about this, since it is a question of the possible taking of human life. But laws must be precise, and in this case we simply don't know how to make the law.
