Shooting at Canadian Parlament

Then it's a fact that zipping it and forgetting about it isn't working all that well.

Maybe you just need to wipe your tears away and pay more attention to reality.

Yes, that could be. On the other hand we could look at the 'root causes' of terrorist acts to see if there is any commonality among them. Religion, for example.

Yeah, radical Sharira adhering Muslims are bat**** crazy - all over Geo.

You're right - radical Muslims want to kill or convert. Where did I ever dispute or deny that?

I haven't seen you dispute it. All I noticed was that you said Canadians should zip it and forget about it. I disagree.

Dispute what?

I thought I covered it all.....
 
why do left-wingers call facts "racist"

black on black crime in the USA skews our numbers. Whites in America have lower rates of violent gun crime than whites in many nations that have idiotic anti gun policies

And so freaking what? Are blacks not Americans as well? How about removing violence on homosexuals as well while you are at it? Or wife beatings? That will lower the crime statistics as well! How about leaving out the Latino crime statistics as well?

No this is typical right wing racism... news flash.. their race is irrelevant, they are Americans and part of your statistical base. Want to do something about it.. stop the GOP racist attitudes that are becoming more and more main stream.

Are you ****ing "disabled" or just ****ing "mentally disabled?"

Dude, I wouldn't trust you with a ****ing dildo - let alone my words.
 


Firstly, I have no idea where those statistics came from, do you?

Secondly comparing the U.S. on anything gun related, to other western countries does not make sense.


With less than 5% of the world's population, the United States is home to roughly 35–50 per cent of the world's civilian-owned guns, heavily skewing the global geography of firearms and any relative comparison

% of homicides by firearm: Canada 32 United States 60
Number of homicides by firearm: Canada 173 United States 9146
Homicide by firearm rate per 100,000 pop: Canada 0.51 United States 2.97
Rank by rate of ownership Canada: 13 United States 1

Average firearms per 100 people: Canada 30.8 United States 88.8
Average total all civilian firearms: Canada 9950000 United States 270000000

The U.S. can keep their your gun laws.

Your numbers are wrong, and so is everything else - you don't have a ****ing denominator yet you have a ****ing equation?
 
Race again???

What have you got against people from Chile? Why not allow them to enter Canada? Are you a racist? Or people from Taiwan? More racism??

The fact is that Canada can chose who can enter the country from anywhere around the world and they should not bring in those who might increase any social problems here. Brazilians don't condone Honor killings, etc., nor do people from the Philippines. Why not give them a chance to live and work in Canada?

Unfortunately a large number of Muslims support terrorism,9/11,women’s oppression,sharia laws,honor killings

That's never going to happen, Grant. No Western country could ever justify blatant religious discrimination of the magnitude you suggest. Refusing entry solely for religious reasons would go against every Western democracy's Constitution, Charter, Bill of Rights..etc..

Throwing away one of our fundamental rights and freedoms just to get a fleeting and ultimately false sense of security would be a grave attack on our national integrity. We are better than that, we are better than them and we can't allow them to destroy the very foundation of what makes us who we are. If we do, they win.

It makes sense to what I was responding to.
 
... this is what you get in an ignorant society....

Canada ranks 12th in arms per capita, with 30 guns per 100 (by comparison, the US is at 88 guns per hundred people, almost twice that of Switzerland)....

#12 - Canada | 15 nations with the highest gun ownership | Deseret News

Canada has 1/6 the rate of homicides by guns as the US (.51 per 100,000 vs. 3.21 per 100,000)...

The reason there was no carnage in the Parliament attack was the gun only held seven bullets.

Ottawa gunman used an illegally acquired 30-30 Winchester rifle: expert | Vancouver Observer

America has far more shootings per capita than our friends to the north. Apparently, what you get with an unarmed society is less gun violence...
The gunman could have been stopped if any of the 10 people he had run past engaged him. Had they been armed. But no, they were disarmed.
 
And so freaking what? Are blacks not Americans as well? How about removing violence on homosexuals as well while you are at it? Or wife beatings? That will lower the crime statistics as well! How about leaving out the Latino crime statistics as well?

more eurocentric whining. The fact is-the major ethnic group in the USA-with supposedly free access to firearms-have lower rates of gun violence than that same ethnic group in Eurosocialist nations with moronic oppressive gun control laws. So we white americans obviously don't need Eurotrash laws imposed on us

It will not be blatant, A. Canada's previous Immigration Minister, Jason Kenney, said that Canada would begin recruiting immigrants from countries which share Canadian values and traditions. The new Immigration Minister said that Canada would be looking at entrepreneurial immigrants with enough money to invest or skilled professionals in trades where their skills are required. Neither mentioned religion but everyone recognizes the social problems Muslim immigrants often bring with them.

Yet another who doesn't understand the differences between race, culture and religion.

I have no problem with that. It's common sense immigration policy and a much better approach than putting a No Muslims Allowed sign at the door.

you truly cant see the denominators in there?

"per 100,000 "

the Canadian populace is not "disarmed"
perhaps you didn't bother reading?
"Canada ranks 12th in arms per capita, with 30 guns per 100 "
we just don't feel the need to take them everywhere with us
as we're not that paranoid
this assailant was able to put one individual down...that's it
and only because it was unexpected
he was doing cenotaph duty much like your lads "guarding" the tomb in Arlington
window dressing...no live rounds

Don't get your panties in a twist. I have been to Arlington many many times, seeing as many of family is buried there.
Your home grown terrorist ran past ordinary "disarmed" citizens.

No, he obviously doesn't. Otherwise he would have mentioned culture, often gang culture, not race. You, like PeteEU, should understand that Black on Black crime is not race-based.

...
its the other dude that wanted to remove the black on black element from the full picture of firearms related deaths in America
this dude simply asked "are they not americans as well"
nothing need be thought regards their culture (American) nor religion (might be one of many or none at all)
neither of those has any bearing on what he asked
this is why I asked you to reread
...you preferred not to
