| Martial arts could be an alternative. Unlike a weapon, your skills cannot be turned against you. And you eliminate the risk of accidents. Also, they're quite good for your health (believe me, I've started practicing karate a year ago, and I'm *much* better shape than I ever were). Of course, they r... |

| I'm not sure what to think about all this. First of all, it seems gun control don't do a thing to help keep the guns out of criminal hands (think about the fiasco of the gun registry). So putting more laws on gun possession only make criminals out of lawful citizens. On the other hand, a gun isn't t... |

| Of course we are "being taken for a ride" too! What, you thought because some people here are always talking about separating from Canada, that they were somehow more blind, enlightened or just plain different? Separatism here is just some kind of trend which some people like because it ma... |

I can agree with that, I was just pointing out the glaring irony and hypocrisy behind this situation.

| No, we should not force people to participate into the system, ever. That would not only be counter-productive, it would go against the very values upon which the system is built. It is a very fine line to walk, balancing individual rights and the necessity of acting together. When you think about i... |

| As I have pointed out already, there are a numbers of conflicts of interest within our current system. Doctors are paid to treat sick people, so the more sick people, the better. Soldiers are paid to wage wars and kill people, so the more wars and enemies, the better. Police are paid to catch crimin... |

| Aye, save the baby seals, let the civilians die. They really need every distraction they can, don't they? I would just *love* to see the Canadian retaliate by asking the US to withdraw from Aghanistan and Irak. THEY SAY: "The clubbing of baby seals cannot be defended or justified," said Se... |

| Well, for the record, I'm from Quebec City. Most people I know here don't give a damn about politics. People around here are disgustingly full of apathy and ignorance. Why do you think so many voted Conservatives, last election? Most were applying what I call "negative voting". It goes som... |

| I have a friend in the military. No matter what I say, he's persuaded that if he's sent to Afghanistan, he will be able to protect the widow and the orphan from the evil Talibans. Seriously, how naive is that? Soldiers should be those who are the most aware of the tricks of politicians. After all, t... |

| Even if their results are erroneous, that won't stop them from using them. They don't care about using torture to extract evidence, even though it's pretty much been proved that you *cannot* get reliable evidence by torturing people until they confess. Does that stop governments all over the world f... |

Indeed, one of the biggest problems with our money system is that it has become a commodity by itself. Money as the promise o... |
