My mind is made up because I know the facts behind the issues! Prove me wrong and I will gladly, and apologetically change my mind! You offer nothing but innuendo and ad hominems like the Israeli choirs boys who constantly chant the praises of Israel. Isn't strange that you are incapable of noticing the completely fanaticism, closed mindedness of the Zionists but can clearly see that my mind is "made up"? The Zionist have one agenda, and that is th advancement and victory of Zionist and Israel. If ten million Americans and Canadians have to die for them to achieve their agenda, they are more than willing.

Mike, Then it's not really freedom of speech is it, seems it's only freedom of speech that you or a state rule allows... What is the punishment for violating the state's rule ? True freedom of speech allows all the same freedom, not just what you like. Other's opinions are just as free to be expressed as your's are....not just the opinions that you happen to agree with. Hal <<In Canada, we have freedom of speech as well. But, as a Canadian, I also relish the right of the state to arrest people that cross the line from expressing opinion to promoting hatred! >>

<< As off-track as I believe Emile is, I'm quite certain that he is not Len Grasso as well. >> I stand corrected. Len isn't really a close fit with Emile Vidrine, Thomas M, and Gustave Jaeger. Thanks for pointing that out. << ... as an American you are supposed to cherish the right of the individual to express opinions. >> And, I can use that same cherished freedom to expose those opinions which provide comfort to the demented murderers that killed 7000 in an attack against America. << But, as a Canadian, I also relish the right of the state to arrest people that cross the line from expressing opinion to promoting hatred! >> I agree. I'd love to see more anti-hate laws. Canada has always been a very close friend of America. In my years of travel it's always felt like Canada was an extention of America, or that America was an extention of Canada (not to ruffle feathers <g>). My only complaint about Canadians lately, has been about their acceptance of Cuba as a tourist destination. Castro has enslaved his people with a cruel dictatorship. Cuba, previously when they had more funding from Russia, had been a much more active terrorist state, exporting thugs throughout the world. I can't see people traveling to Cuba, and partying within earshot of political prisoners, who's only offense was speaking out against Castro.
