I must report you to the mods again keith. Since you do it so often to others. Your below statement is a mischaracterization of what I am saying and a personal attack on me. You have no idea how to share your ideas without ad hom attacks. You can't help but get personal. You need help...

I guess I need to go with you to the doctor. I am usually told by religious people when fighting for glbt equality in the US that I should be thankful and take what I can get because I would be killed in Muslim nations for being gay. As if that's a valid argument or supposed to make a guy feel...

I appreciate your thought out response on this. My point throughout this discussion has been despite our presence in Afghanistan for 7 years the acid attacks still happen, the taliban are still in control of a majority of the country. The progress made in urban centers is simply not enough for...

So sorry Brandon, did they say why in the letter? I thought anyone who had the points with a clean background could get in.

That was very kind of you, but you certainly have not been misinterpreting theology nor have you been any kind of bigot, you've posted the exact words from the bible. I wouldn't worry about Keithz, he gives as good as he gets.

I have my own personal issues with religion. I do also get what people get out of faith. When I was a believer I did get something out of prayer so I cannot knock people for doing it. For me coming to Atheism was like unravelling an onion's skin. Slow and in small steps over a period of...

I've been waiting for the release on video. Blockbuster doesn't have it yet. I don't think we will see an admitted atheist elected anytime soon.

Yet the Afghan people are asking for security as a top concern because violence has increased.

I would rather say I don't know than just make it up, or be wrong consistently for 7 years pushing militarism as a solution. Be careful, your posts will be here for years for us to revert back upon. Just like the ones from 6 months ago. If your increase military force scheme does not work...

We failed in our mission there. If this article was not submitted two weeks ago, it could just as easily been written in 2003,20004...2009. We're not making the progress in Afghanistan needed for us to ever get out of there...

We rebuilt Europe in less time after WW II. Enough said.

I wonder when we will get another Tory insensitive joke. This is crazy to have happened twice to the same company. It doesn't give me confidence in the food safety laws and regulations being implemented to protect the nation.

I saw on the news this morning a lawsuit has been filed in Ottawa because the bus ads are not allowed. The ads aren't even critical of any religion in my opinion. "There probably is no God" should hardly send a beep on the controversy meter, yet because people peceive it an attack on their...

I started a new religion thread under General Discussions so we can take the it over there and leave this thread on topic.

It's time we have this discussion. Our society allows religions a free pass not given to other topics like politics. We see it right here on Urban Toronto. How do we change it?

Keith, You want more of the same and expect a different result. My point in this entire discussion is the strategy we've used for 7 years and the one you want to continue is not working. As I said early on in this topic, you nor I are experts and to pretend we have an answer to success would...

No I am not denying there has been progress. However I will repeat what I said above. The mission is a failure for the last 7 years, the taliban warlords still rule, minorities still suffer, support for the new government is faltering, the people see us as occupiers. ABC News and The Asian...

Yes I believe you soldiers refer to this as "Collateral Damage". That explanation really works well for those who lost loved ones. You seem to forget it is their country and we are tresspassing. A little respect for the people who actually own the land and live in the country could go a long...

It is beyond amusing to see that I am merely giving Keith taste of his own medicine and he doesn't come close to realizing it. Sadly our mods are allowing him to make up incredible lies about you and when we call it out nothing happens, yet Keith gets to close threads down for less. Put up...

You have seriously jaded view of Afghans who are upset over the death of slaughtered children. If this is a military point of view towards the citizens we are supposedly helping, it's really no wonder the sad state of affairs there. You still have yet to prove what you claimed against...
