Well now, we also decided we dont want our citizens blasted by gun fire like yours are. If one goes shooting one's guns OR one's racist, bully mouth off up here, one goes to jail! I dont feel less free...
Good riddance to hillbillies is what I say.
So maybe we can charge a toll for the trolling posts that come across the border?
Thats right, make sure and be careful to attack speech, but leave the physical borders wide open..lol.
We could start a BS Tax
Is that an abbreviation of BuSh?
I feel so congressional (liberal) now, I have found someone to tax.
You certainly dont tax yourself. Are you the philosophical equivalent of a tax evader?
American cyberspace... E borders.. love it. How new are you to the internets?
The following is from a Washington Post report on the ongoing loss of freedoms in Canada: Whether you call it over-sensitive political correctness or an abiding sense of fairness and decency, Canada has embraced it like a . . . well, never mind. Through its human rights laws and hate speech codes, broadcast standards and myriad "voluntary" industry guidelines, Canada makes no bones about its determination to impose liberal-minded limits on public discourse. Although the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms put free speech and a free press into the bedrock of Canadian law, neither the public nor Canada's courts views these rights as absolutely as Americans have come to view the First Amendment. The Canadian Supreme court has ruled in a series of cases that the government may limit free speech in the name of other worthwhile goals, such as ending discrimination, ensuring social harmony or promoting equality of the sexes. Canada's most powerful tool against politically incorrect speech is its hate speech code, which prohibits any statement that is "likely to expose a person or group of persons to hatred or contempt" because of "race, color, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation or age." Prosecutors are not required to show proof of malicious intent or actual harm to win convictions in hate speech cases, and courts in some jurisdictions have ruled that it does not matter whether the statements are truthful. |
We sometimes refer to it as the anti Nazi or anti hillbilly code. Once we realized how fruitless and useless hate is... well, let's just say, it's working. I want the laws that help racists and bullies to a well deserved extinction.
When I think of cowards and liars running countries into the ground... I just have to be glad they're not in power right now, democracy has been relatively effective and has worked... and most Americans rejected lying, spying and bullying as a way of demonstrating American values.

We dont frick around with racist bullies up here. They get shut down or arrested and jailed!
You know, it just makes things better in the long run. Who needs fearful, little men in a politics, police forces or the military? All they do is stain and impede the good guys(90%) and disjoint society. Who needs people who get ahead by abusing others or upholding the law by breaking the law? Who needs the fix up bill after these degenerates break law and trust? I dont need to spend my tax money fixing the damage caused by hillbilly racists. Or try to regain the trust broken by these hate mongering, wasted human beings. Thank God they are so few and far between up here.
It used to be almost universally true.. "A man's home is his castle". those days are over. How are you liking socialism so far?
