we are not discussing a constitutional system we are discussing national security. The man is a security threat in many countries like Canada and the UK included, that is why he is not allowed to travel to these countries.
p.s I only lash out when posters belittle a country I consider a friend.
Actually, that wasn't the discussion at all.
Nonsense. You came in spoiling for a fight. And we know exactly which country you consider a friend.
Karma's a bitch.The Quran burning pastor form Florida is the news again but here in Canada. In this article by The Globe, it says that the pastor has for now been barred for entry because of a breach of peace charge in his past. I think the real reason they are stopping him is that we don't want him here. We don't take too kindly to people like him and don't want him in our country. What are American's thoughts on this?
Edit: He was travelling to Cnada to debate several people about free speech including: Imam Steve Rockwell the director of Sheikh Deidat Mosque, Dr Masud Ansari a prominent Islamic author, Dr Bikram Lamba Canada’s most prominent Sikh leader and author, Ron Banerjee Director of Canadian Hindu Advocacy.
so its ok to belittle a country because you say so...good stuff! Thought this was debate politics.com not playground antics.com
p.s If you want to talk about "butthurt" take a trip to the European section where any poster who says anything "anti-American" is attacked by about 4 or 5 posters. The double standards in this place is amazing
It's not double-standards. Purely numbers. As for belittling countries, it's certainly not a strictly American thing, as there is plenty of American-bashing to go around as well, and we're not crying over it. In fact, we're quite used to it.
Well actually that is the whole reason why the guy cant travel to so many countires. He incites hate and is a security threat.
As for your second point say what you mean what country do I consider friend? Play the anti-American card go on . I havent been anti American in this thread ( have never been anti american on this site ). I merley compared both countries and defended Canadas right to say no to this guy drawing on examples in the USA where America have done the same thing.

and yet DiAnna has already started crying as well has using my quotes out of context to make me look bad.
The quotes are in this thread. Anyone can read them. They simply do not say what you pretend that they say. But I apologize if I have injured your feelings.
Whatever, just go to war when we tell you.
and so far the majority of posters have insulted Canada....

well no you quoted them all without saying what I responded to. For example " Canada were involved in both world wars before America". On its own it would look anti American but in fact I was responding to a post which said " Just go to war with who we tell you to Canada". Which of course is a insulting post and doesnt paint Canada in the correct light.
You knew what you were doing DiAnna when you multi quoted me.

There were several more posts I could have quoted to make my point that you came in here spoiling for a fight, having already chosen a "side" in a thread which really shouldn't have even had a side. If you would like, I can make a post quoting ALL of your posts in this thread, and will do so if you think it more fair, or will make you "look" better.
If you don't like the way your own words made you look, perhaps you should reread your own posts and take responsibility for them. The "waaa, she used my own words to make me look bad" debate tactic is a rather poor one. You disappoint me.
Then don't take him, for God's sake. Nobody is asking you to, nor expects you to.
and so far the majority of posters have insulted Canada....
exactly my point. Hence the reason I mentioned the British tourists who were sent home from the US. I was bringing light to the fact that every country does it and that posters attacking Canada for doing it were in the wrong.
I think it's a fair bit of hypocricy on Canada's part, copnsidering the forum they're hosting and that they let others in with far more violent records. That said, it's up to Canada and Canadians if this is right for them.
Then what the hell have you been cry-babying over? We're all grown-ups here. We can handle it if other countries don't take Americans, and if we reject non-Americans. Big deal.
We get it. Canada good, America not so much.
You can handle it but many posters can not as demonstrated in this thread hence the reason I was defending Canada's policy against what they were saying.....
well I mean you did try to invade them in 1812...
Before a lot of you American posters get all bent out of shape on this remember Canada is a soverign country and has the right to refuse entry to anyone it wants. Just as America had the right to pull over 2 British teenagers, arrest them, interrogate them and then send them home all because of a tweet which was lost in translation.
well Canada were involved in both world wars before the US was.
America only tolerates free speech from its own citizens everyone else would have a hard time gaining entry to the US, just like Canada.
that this thread is a waste of time.
and so far the majority of posters have insulted Canada....
opinions not childish insults!

thats not what im saying. Im saying Canada is exactly the same as America. As for the world war quote that was i response to a poster saying " Canada just go to war when we tell you too".
Please remove the blinkers please.

lol again I know my own posts and I know the posts I was responding to. Every post you quoted was in response to a negative comment about Canada and had actual weight in the thread. Im not ashamed of my posts im just ashamed of the way you postsed them without any context.
exactly my point. Hence the reason I mentioned the British tourists who were sent home from the US. I was bringing light to the fact that every country does it and that posters attacking Canada for doing it were in the wrong.
We do respect free speech. what we won't tolerate is hate speech designed to incite violence. Our hate speech laws are very specific, because freedom of speech is a fundamental right as outlined in our charter of rights and freedoms.
You'd want it for lets see.... tons of natural resources trailing only Russia in that regard. 1/4 of the worlds fresh water. Tim Horton's coffee, the best hockey players, beavertails, and monster mosquito zappers, oh and of course way better beer.
Oh you poor misunderstood man, made to look bad by the power of your own words. Tell you what. Here is every post you have made in this thread thus far. Perhaps now you can rest peacefully knowing that all of your glowing rhetoric proving how anyone "attacking" Canada (as in disagreeing with, or comparing the differences with American free speech protections) were all in the wrong, while you were all in the right, and mean old DiAnna is just trying to use your own words to make you look bad.
Here are ALL of your words. Surely, you must look terrific now!!
Now I'm really out of here. Your whining has given me a headache.
