That would be nice, and I would find it easier to find KMANs
post, and
to post to them, since I know I would not have to wade through
a bunch
of "stuff" that at this time I choose not to wade through. I
am sure
there are many things that would be much more profitable to
discuss! As
far as I am concerned, he apologized satisfactorily to rick
regarding
the first issue, and also posted modifying and clarifying info
regarding the second tiff, which should put the situation to
rest.
Regarding "r's" intransience, that is something that probably
will not
change, and any apology that KMAN expects from r is unlikely.
TnT


I know, but at least the whole world now knows - without a
doubt - what a complete and utter asshole he is :-)

====================
ROTFLMAO Really? Then since your lies have continued to be
exposed, what does that make you, liarman?

So, work your magic!

All I said was that - in my opinion - the people in
Newfoundland were not waiting 2 /12 years for treatment. They
were receiving treatment as mentioned by the doctor in the
article. But, whatever you think about those good folks in
Newfoundland, I never said that no one in Canada ever waits for
treatment as rick is alleging, and continue to insist upon,
despite his total inability to demonstrate otherwise. And for
that, he IS a scumbag.

========================
And you have continued this part of the thread because you know
you have been proven a liar when you claim that no one dies
waiting for treatment. waits that even you now agree occur.
And, as I have explained to you, mu opionion is that the doctor
in the article does not know what the boys problem is, and needs
the test to determine his course of treatment. That you continue
to be so jingoistic in defence of the indefencable is what is
truly amazingly willful ignorance.

I would object to it, because it's a very, very bad idea.


So is discrimination based on sexuality. No better than discrimination based
on race.


Interesting thesis, inapplicable analogy.

While discrimination based on sexuality may interfere with someone's
pleasure, it's hardly the same thing as denying someone the tools for
defending their very lives.

Then again, one of the justifications put forward for banning homosexual
sodomy is that such acts are dangerous to the public health. The AIDS
epidemic among homosexuals lent credence to this justification in the eyes
of those who make the laws.

As to racial discrimination, that falls into a different category. Race and
sex anti-discrimination laws are "status" based laws. People cannot choose
not to be black or choose not to be of one sex or the other. Thus, the law
says, it is wrong to discriminate against someone for something they cannot
help or control.

Anti-sodomy laws are not "status" laws. They regulate *behavior.* One may
not be able to help being homosexual (which is to say sexually attracted to
someone of the same sex), but one CAN control what one DOES about that
attraction. Thus, it is the behavior...the physical acts associated with
those sexual feelings...that the law proscribes. Anti-sodomy laws are based
in the same legal theory as laws which proscribe sexual activity between
adults and children. A pedophile may argue that he is being "discriminated"
against because he is sexually attracted to children, but that does not
preclude the state from proscribing the act of having sex with children.
Being sexually attracted to children is not a crime, nor is being attracted
to someone of the same sex. It is what one DOES about that attraction that
is within the purview of the law.

So, your comparison between race and sexual orientation is inapplicable.

Now, if you grant that the state does have the power to proscribe SOME
sexual behavior (such as pedophilia or rape) then you implicitly agree that
the state has the power to decide WHICH sexual behavior it wishes to
control. On the other hand, if you argue that the state has no authority to
regulate ANY sexual conduct, then you authorize child sex and rape. Then
again, it's rational to make a distinction between forcible and consensual
sex, so let's do so. Let's say that while the state has the power to
proscribe non-consensual sexual behavior, we have yet to determine whether
the state has the power to proscribe consensual sexual behavior.

What, if any, limitations on consensual sexual behavior would you recognize
as legitimately within the sphere of state control?

the verge of a nervous breakdown because some twit has a hard
on against Canada :-)

=====================
ROTFLMAO What a hoot!! Where have I ever said that fool? I'd
bet I spend far more time in Canada than you do in the states.
It's you that has proven you hate of anything US, and your
unnatural devotion to anything Canadian despite its cost in
Candaian lives.

You just mis-spoke yourself.

In the current disagreement, rick is alleging that I claimed no
one in Canada waits for treatment. That is 100% false. I never
said that.

======================
Yes, you did, and I have shown you where.



In the previous disagreement, I tried to pin rick down on his
ramblings against Canadian health care and did not word me
question to him very carefully. I would not call that a
"mis-speak" either, it was just a carelessly worded question,
and I apologized as promised.

=====================
No you did not, not in any post I saw, liarman. And, I had no
'ramblings' against the Canadaian health care system. I replied
to your "mis-speak" that no Canadaians are dying while waiting
for treatment. You then decided to keep up the lie, even when
evodence was provided that proved you wrong.



Hey we have all done it, and you
acknowledged it, which is hard, but none think anything the

I am never alone in the sandbox. My sandbox is extremely full.
Perhaps that's why arguing with a simpleton scumbag like rick
is a nice mental break, believe it or not.

======================
LOL And mental is what health problems you know all about, eh
liarman? And, if I was so simple you could have ended this the
first day. All you had to do was provisde the refutation of the
sites that say Canadians die waiting for health care. You
didn't, and you have still failed to do that.

violence or even accidents with guns.

The panel was established during the Clinton administration and

This is
because registration is ALWAYS the precursor to confiscations and

not going to happen. Australia, Canada and GB prove that, and
we've had several instances in the US as well, specifically New

Nope.


Wrong. Guns, specifically banned "assault weapons" were confiscated both in
California and in New Jersey.


You just spew one idiotic gunner myth after another.

No, that's something unarmed cowards like you do when faced with an armed

Really? How, exactly, does the Bible "deem" how God manifests himself as

a biblical constraint on how God may manifest himself as "himself" be rather
limiting to, well, God? Why would God so restrict himself?

He wouldn't.

You are merely trying to impose an artificial limitation on the "legitimate"
manifestations of God as "himself" in order to tautologically support your
unsupportable argument.

All
manifestations are as something else - a man, a burning bush, etc.


Well, since God is omnipotent and omnipresent (according to dogma), it would
seem to me that God can "be" anything he wants. In fact, he can (and indeed
is by many definitions) be EVERYTHING at once if he wants. He is, after all,
without limitation by definition. Thus, if he "manifests" himself as a man,
or a burning bush, he is manifesting himself as himself.

You don't get it, you never will.


No, quite clearly, you don't get it. It is possible, however, that you
someday will.
