myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661) 5 years ago

Well this is it...RANTING TIME!!!!!

I know there's a lot of Canadians on here,so you'll know what I'm talking about.Others just read carefully,because this is a global problem.

There is a new term in the Canadian lexic:Reasonnable accomodations.

Certain immigrants are trying to take on our laws and civil codes and have them adapt to their religious beliefs.What's up with that??Shouldn't you be proud to be accepted in a FREE COUNTRY???Let me give you some concrete examples:


A jewish rabbi from Montreal asked the local YMCA (community center)to frost their windows because the jewish kids in the school a block away saw woman working out in their GYM CLOTHES(??!!??)The worst: The YMCA AGREED!!!


Muslim girls requested to have the swimming pool to themselves to take swimming lessons that are open to the public.It was refused and the girls caused a rumble outside the pool.(very religious eh??)

Muslim men DEMAND that their driving instructor is a man.

Muslim woman want to vote and go to the bank with their "micha",that veil that covers all but the eyes.Try it for yourselves:Walk into your bank with a drape over your head and see if you don't get arrested....Highly likely...

Sihk kids can go to school with their "Kirpan",a ceremonial dagger,but our kids cannot wear a cross around their necks.My daughter took her Swiss army knife for show and tell last year and was almost EXPELLED!!!

Taxi drivers stopping in peak rush hour to do their prayer....workers demanding a special room only for them and special treatment to do their prayer,while other workers are working away doing THEIR jobs.

And one of the worst case yet:
Paramedic wants to eat his spaghetti and meatballs at the Jewih hospital's cafeteria was kicked out from the room because his lunch was not "Kosher"!!!!He sued and won,thank goodness.


Let's turn things around,shall we??

I go to ANY muslim country,and try to build a catholic church.

My woman does not wear a veil.

I tell my boss I have to stop working because it's in my religion to smoke a joint at exactly 2:45 pm every day.

I walk in my bank wearing a hood.

I want to vote without properly identifying myself.

I want to eat an all pork hot dog.

Get the picture??

You FLED a country that was repressive,where you would get imprisoned or killed for voicing your opinion.You come to North-America because of it's GOOD PEOPLE,and EASY LIVING,and DEMOCRATIC VALUES!!!



Who the hell are you to come to my country and impose your beliefs on me??We pay for you,we take you in and accept you AS A PERSON,but when you peddle your DISCRIMINATION BS to get what you want,WE WILL NOT STAND DOWN!!!

We have beliefs too,you know??You don't care about ours,so why the fk should we cater to yours???


All them religion EXTREMISTS should deported STAT!!!


Most Muslims say that the prayer can be done at any time,and they don't need to stop all they're doing to pray.

Most muslims go voting and take their veil off to id themselves properly.

It's the EXTREMISTS that fk it up for all the others.

We gonna change our laws for what...1000 of yous???I don't think so Rachid!!!

Now here's one that you should REALLY be afraid of as well us here in the states too. There are Imams (muslum priests) who want to be able to impose shiria law, independant of the city as well as the nations law, on their communities. In other words, run a mini islamic republic with in a democracy that is seperate and indeependant from the nation they reside in, the states, canada, etc. And worse, the danish parliment was ACTUALY debating allowing them to do this in their country.
On the less extreme, we have mexicns, who enter this country illegaly and then protest in the streets by the thousands, waving mexican flags DEMANDING rights as citizens.
The western world is losing it's spine.

hey xfahctor!!

You are right...we had on here....we booted his @$$ back in his country just last week!!Read about it here:
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/...

I know the mexicans are a very serious problem in the south...I didn't think they did demonstrations tho,as most of 'em are illegals...:-P


myLot reputation of 69/100. dickkell (231)   ranked 355 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

Most Hispanics are NOT illegal. The problem of illegal immigration is only compounded by just ignorant race bashing. Distingush between Mexicans and Costa Ricans and all the other Hispanic nationalities, who are all immigrating, both leagally and not. I certainly wouldn't want one of them calling me a Canuck! Freakin' Canadians!


Invade Canada!


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

I'm not saying all hispanics illegals??Where do you see that??

I'm saying those who protest demanding citizen's rights can't be legal because if they are,then they are treated equals to americans and canadians...

Let's invade Kroatia instead!!


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7623)  5 years ago

Actualy, the larger part of illegal immigration comes from the mexican border, whether they are mexican, or south americans just passing through mexico. I didn't say that the majority of hispanics are ilegal, What I said was that mexicans sneak here and demand rights.
And max, unfortunately, the protests did consist of illegals. they have actualy become that bold here.


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7623)  5 years ago

And dickk, be careful on the canada bashing thing, I take personal offense to that. my girlfriend IS canadian and wants to move here, LEGALY.

The sad fact max is we now have an estimated, ESTIMATED, 12 MILLION people who are here illegaly. To try and deport that many people would be a fiasco. that would be like trying to empty nearly HALF of Canada's population out in one shot. So you realize the scope of the problem. I suppose you could back up busses to these protests and just start loading up but some protests have numbered participants in the tens of thousands. So we are left with tightening the heck out of the borders, deporting criminals and getting the ones left documented and working.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Inazumi (501)  5 years ago

Oh my god, cops asking for ID from protesters? I live in Arizona and Maricopa County's wonderful sheriff Arpaio was under scrutiny for going up and asking street vendors for their ID's to prove they were citizens or legal immigrants... then arresting the ones who weren't! Bravo, I say!

The thing that really gets to me, though, is the protesters who wave signs that say things like "immigrants aren't criminals." Uh... legal immigrants aren't, but doesn't the term ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION mean something to these people??? You do something illegal, then yes... you technically ARE a criminal!


myLot reputation of 75/100. dragonryder (3572)  5 years ago

There is actually closer to 20 million illegals in the U.S., which is comprised of mostly people from Mexico, but can also consist of Koreans, Chinese, etc. The ones who get the preferential treatment come from Mexico, as they are the ones who are allowed to have their protests demanding amnesty and rights, and also proclaiming they are going to take back certain parts of the U.S. They have La Raza and the Aztlan movements. They fly their flags and take the American flag down and either burn or desecrate it in some other manner, or they fly it upside down. The best thing to stop the illegals is for businesses and invididuals not to hire them. The big problems in the U.S. from things I've read about finding out if someone is illegal, is that there are only certain organizations that have a "right" to ask and then do something. Local law enforcement agencies are either told not to ask, or they don't want to.


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Isn't it against the law to fly a thorn,or altered,or upside down flag in the US??There's an old law that they could use to weed out trouble makers...

:-0 are you kidding me?! Sorry but thats just bloody insane! and I agree thank goodness he won..I'd be seriously ticked if he'd not!

I agree that ppl who "escape" to another country should NOT try to force their beliefs onto the way things are....Especially in Canada (LOL that'll get me some flack)...We're a laid back country, very accepting and accomidating, bendable and so on..so to flee to Canada and try to pull crap like that is messed up...Of course it shouldnt be acceptable in the U.S either mind you, dont get me wrong....

It's getting to feel like they want to "islamize" the rest of the world.(by islamize I mean all other religions,not only muslims)

I have to say that I know someone will come here and say that the catholics killed millions of people for their beliefs and so on.Ok,sure,it happened...but in 1254 DC!!!!

Maxpower, I very much agree with you for the most part. But, I would really hope that you all realize it is NOT all Muslims or any other nationality that feel they should change the laws in a new country they have entered. There are so many muslims that are grateful for the new opportunities available to them and really do try to assimilate as much as possible. Generalizations is what reactivates hate and intolerance. I understand your need to rant, but please make sure you don't make sweeping judgements.

First of all I am not muslim I am a christian so what I have to say has nothing to do with me. To a point I agree with you but mostly I dont. Wanting to stop and have a prayer said is not against any law so how can they brake a law? They have their right to be religius and have right to practice it as much as anyone else. Yes you should repect the LAW but the law does not say they have to become christians when they go to Canada, or USA or Australia. So what if they wanted the pool for an hour every so often would that harm anyone they feel uncomfortable bathing infront of other man. As for Kosher food I belive they would have to clean the whole place after that and again it is what they belive its right.
Is it really in your religion to smoke pot, I belive not, but it is in their religion to do those things and we should respect that. They do not impose their belives you choose to belive they do. . As for discrimination need I say more.


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

They break the law by not working their full shifts as public servants,when some turban-wearing RCMP officer has to take PAID TIME to pray.They don't pay for MY belief,do they??
They break the law by trying to instate muslim laws and jewish laws to break OUR LAWS!!

They can clean all they want after the kosher food....When that same paramedic goes to save a jew's life,will they "Purify" him before he performs CPR???

The pot thing was sarcasm.

They want the swimming pool to themselves??DO LIKE I DO IF I WANT A HOCKEY RINK FOR MYSELF:RENT IT!!!


myLot reputation of 56/100. Riptide (1453)   ranked 710 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

I think it's also a matter of principal. If you give into the little things, the big things are sure to follow. Like giving someone a little finger and they want the whole hand.

When someone tries to limit my freedom because of teheir religious believes, then they do impose their believes on me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. violeta_va (2000)   ranked 57 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

well how about this when The Albanians in Macedonia demand their rights USA, CANADA and the rest of the world said give it to them. So now in my country which is christian orthodox we speak Macedonian and we are Macedonians now they the Albanians have more right than we do because the rest of the world decided it was how it was ment to be. So now they dont obey our law, they speak Albanian (even in parlament) the jobs have to go to them, they have their own schools and when macedonian kids go to the school they are beeten up. They dont put up the national flag but their own, they kill macedonians and torture them daily. The burn our churches and brake our graves. And the world sais shut up and be quet. How does that sound to you.


myLot reputation of 56/100. Riptide (1453)   ranked 710 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

Which exactly proves my point, you give in a little and this is what happens.Nobody says people can't practice their religion, but when it disrupts the lives of others then they need to back off.

I'm a Wiccan and I don't expect my boss to give me off on pagan holidays,if I want that day off I take a day vacation and if I can't have vacation that day, then oh well. I say Merry Christmas and Happy Easter, not Happy Holidays, because someone might get offended.I will not accomodate every religion and culture out there.
I came here and adapted,because that's how it's suppose to be.


myLot reputation of 95/100. violeta_va (2000)   ranked 57 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

the only difference is that we were forced to do it and the same people that told us we had to do it are the same that say it is not ok in their countries. Imagine having a memorial in the middle of new yor for osama and taliban I bet the world will end before they let it happen right? Well we have nice memorials of their army and their leaders the same one that killed hundreds of people in 2001 and the world sais let them have it. If you only saw the pictures of the people killed you will know why we dont want it. But hey what can 2million people do.


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Well Violeta,you are absolutely right.I never said I approve of my country's international policies.As a matter of fact I dissapprove of most of them.The fact of the matter is,I would never have voted for something like that.You gotta understand;for international politics,our government don't ask us anything,they follow the USA.This is quite a complicated matter because of ally treaties and what not.

I am well aware of the albanians murdering Macedonians,and I definately don't approve of it.

Quebec has the same problem fighting politically for independance for the last 40 years.

I am glad you have heard of Macedonia (thanks to Canada for recognizing the name of our country) but Now you know why I belive that compared to what I know, what you are saying is nothing. And you can write and say thing if I do that abour our situation than god help me.

We need to be tolerant without surrendering who we are. You want to pray , pull over and pray. You want to swim alone, rent out the pool. Why not frost the windows, is it really a big deal? I personally would rather not work out in front of everybody - if you want to, go outside! Compromise, people, on both sides will solve many of these issues.


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Yes...tent the pool...that's not a problem...the problem is that they want the PUBLIC BATH TIME to be sacrificed for them...that's wrong.

Why frost the windows??I infringe my liberties because some religion tells those jewish boys to not look at woman???THEY CAN LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!!Why can't I see the world outside my window because they can't turn their heads??

myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Well EXCUUUUUUUSE MEEE!!!

These woman know that there is a wiindow there,and some can't workout outside because of respiratory problems and so on...

Whatever...They don't compromise to arrange us....so why would we??


myLot reputation of 69/100. dickkell (231)   ranked 355 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

Because we are civilized. Are the women of the Y making a fuss about it, or just you? Some of the things you mentioned are really bad and need to be exposed and dealt with. But some of it is like - so what. If we can't compromise then we are not the society we pretend to be. A tossed salad doesn't flip out when you add in eggs, even though the eggs change the salad's flavor, and weigh down some of the ingredients that are already there.

You sound like a militant hate monger, which I get the feeling you are not. If I'm right, you need pick your fights on things that really matter, and not just get all up in arms about anything that's different. Wake up, so that you can awaken others!


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Of course the woman there at the Y made a fuss...They choose that place for it's natural light and looks...

Im not a hate monger,I just think that if we let the little things like frosting the windows pass,tomorrow they will demand the right to human sacrifice.I know I'm being extreme here,but it's to make a point.


myLot reputation of 56/100. Riptide (1453)   ranked 710 out of 6,504 in religion  5 years ago

I stand with Max, if we compromise on the little things,the big ones are sure to follow. It's a matter of principal,why should natural born citizens change around everything for someone that comes strolling into their country?

If you have your livingroom arranged a certain way for years and that's how you love it and someone comes over for a visit and tells you they feel uncomfortable the way you have it arranged, will you get up and rearrange your furniture in your home because of that person?

If people don't want to wok out in front of a window they can work out somewhere else. That is their choice! But frosting the window takes that choice away from them. This what makes this country great, the freedoms we have and people like this are slowly taking our freedoms to choose away.

If 1000 people want a clear window and 10 want it frosted, why are we doing what the 10 want, just because of their religion? Those 10 need to adapt to those 1000, not the other way around.

Why would you go to another country and try to make it into the country you came from? Adapt, deal with the changes or get the hell out!

I think that guaranteed freedoms are guaranteed freedoms and laws are laws.

We all have the right to ask for things, to fight for things, even to protest for things.

I do not have a problem with making accomodations.. but i do have a problem with making exceptions of laws and policy.

For example, if my child cannot carry a knife to school, then I would not be able to accept that the kid sitting beside her was permitted to do so. In fact, I don't think there should be ANY excuse for kids to carry weapons into our public schools.. If they want to open a private school and let EVERYONE carry weapons, so be it.

I had a teacher once tell me that Canada is not a melting pot, it is a tossed salad. She said that melting pot implied everyone melted together and became the same, which is of course not the case.

I don't mind if someone wants to wear a headcovering into the bank out of modesty, as long as they don't mind walking past my christmas tree on the way there.

I think what it boils down to is instead of both sides saying this is the way I live, please accept it even if you can't understand.. we have those on both sides who are just screaming CHANGE DAMN YOU!

Preach it brother!

I couldn't have said it better myself.When you go to a country you need to adapt and not try to make them adapt to you.
It starts with the little things and once we accomodate those,they will move on to bigger things and next thing you know, WE will be the ones having to ask for permission just to walk down the street.

I come from Germany and a lot of things are different over there. Like you are not allowed to mow the lawn or wash your car on sundays. You don't see me running to the courthouse demanding they put a law into effect that forbids those things on sundays, because I'm used to my peace and quiet.

Legal drinking age over there is 16 and when I came here for the first time I was 20,but I didn't go raise a ruckus and demanded I be allowed to drink, because I'm allowed to do so in my own country.

Bottom line is, when you go to a different country you obey their rules and adapt and if you can't or don't want to do that, then don't move there!!!

I know where you are coming from. We had an election in Ontario recently. The conservatives lost big time because all of a sudden they were advocating to support all "faith based schools" As you know the right of catholics to have their own schools was enshrined in the BNA act. We indicate on our municipal taxes whether the school tax goes to"catholic" or "public schools". I don't know how Quebec handles it since they are now a secular society. Anyway last year also there was tremendous pressure to allow Sharia law as binding in family court cases dealing with custody and support. The reason Muslim groups pushed for this because by tradition orthodox Jews always settled these matters by religious arbitration. Orthodox Jewish women never objected to this because they are generally held in high esteem and were dealt very favourably in these aberrations. However, there was such an outcry about Sharia law in family matters that the Premier of Ontario forbade all religious binding arbitration. All family matters must now be settled in family court.
Tell me about the schools in Quebec? Does the province fund all religious chools or none?
As for the other matters you mentioned, I fully agree no veiled women should be allowed to enter a bank or public office, receive a driver's licence or passport unless the face is uncovered.
I have personally spoken to at least one women who engaged me in conversation while fully veiled. I told her that I felt at a disadvantage since she could see my face but I could not see hers. She removed the veil while we were talking. However, the same lady yelled and screamed abuse at a man who tried to help her up when she fell on some ice last winter in a park which we both frequented for walks.

I think we in the West have come to realize that certain groups from certain countries do not respect our laws and want to impose their own laws which may have been culturally acceptable 1000 or more years ago. I think we should re-think our immigration policies. We as a country need immigration and the fresh skills that come with it but we should recruit only in countries that have similar values as ours and whose people are willing to practice their religion in private.


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

Thanx for the very concise response...

In Quebec,to my knowledge,we don't fund any religious schools.There are some,but they have to teach the basics of the schooling program from the government.

We have no more crucifix in our schools,and no religious signs in our government buildings.

I followed VERY CLOSELY what happened in Ontario,as I live in the border town of Gatineau.

Well,I think what you described may happen everywhere. Some people move to the other country but they still couldn't get used to the society even after a couple of years.That's sth about culture and I think that's also sth about ajusting. Maybe they're not that open-minded and always get together with their own people. That's why they don't give themselves the chance to recongnize the environment around them and get to know other local people. I think once you move to another place,then you should try your best to get involved in that place and be a real member and devote yourself to it. What do you think?


myLot reputation of 33/100. MaxPower1971 (661)  5 years ago

I think you're absolutely right.They create their own "Ghettos"(I hate that word),and only shop and live among themselves.In Montreal some of the Jewish part has a fence and their own policing!!!That should not be allowed.The Hell's angels have been fighting anti-bunker laws for years but the government lets the Jewish people build a 10 foot fence.

Can these immigrants really be doing those things in Canada? This was the opposite of what I've heard that was done to a grade school Filipino immigrant(my countryman, I'm from the Philippines) who was reprimanded and was almost suspended from school because he was eating rice with his spoon and fork, the usual way we eat our food here in the Philippines. The school principal told the parents of the boy that he should eat with a knife and a fork, never with a spoon and a fork. But if what you said were true, then Canada should act. In Saudi Arabia and most fundamentalist Muslim countries, if they find a crucifix or bible in your baggage you will be deported right away, Christians are tried in the Shariah courts, anything with alcohol is prohibited, you can not walk along with your girlfriend because you are not married (they will look for a marriage license when you'r caught).

Exactly my point!!

If I go to Saudi Arabia and want a beer,I can't.

Why should we accomodate them when their own country won't??

As a Spiritualist Canadian I know where you are coming from. Yes it bothers me when they talk about using their Muslim court system for Muslims here in Canada. This will not happen! Its difficult for us to understand their beliefs and customs, but people are people and its the next generation that will blend into our society. The muslim kids will adopt the better way, make no mistake about that!
There is already a big Backlash against arranged marriages in many countries around the world, and this is mainly stemming from internet use. The internet is on our side, and as the younger generation learns the better way, they will follow suit. Relax and let it happen! God save the Queen!

I understand that the younger generation wants to adapt and follow the better way.But when you are 6-7-8 years old,your beliefs are not yours,they're your parents'.A fully veiled little girl like that is pushed by her parents to do it.I understand that they will eventually make their own choices,because they see the freedom and priviledges Canada and other democratic countries have to offer.

Some people may think I hate religions and all that,but it's not about religion;it's all about the charter of human rights:Excisions in Africa,baby girls aborted of killed in China,Torture in All countries...etc.

And the voting thing really bothers me.Did you ever try to go vote with your tuque and baclava on??Or try it at the bank....Why should we accept that?it's a matter of safety,and rules,and LAWS.

The situation is similar here in the UK. It's political 'correctness' gone completely round the twist. England (and the entire UK) is a CHRISTian country - NOT any specific form (organised religion) of CHRISTianity.

Of course, one would not know that by the behaviour of the politicians. The scenario is getting worse. It was very bad under Thatcher but these past ten years under the premiership of Tony Blair and his chancellor, Gordon Brown, who is now the premier has been absolute hell! Immigration is out of control.

Those two evil b*stards, 'BLiar' and 'Broon' and their new Labour (Lie-bour) party are destroying Britain and demolishing our customs and heritage. I don't know who is worse: the bigoted Scottish political control freaks or the Muslim extremists. 'BLiar' and 'Broon' are Scots as well most of their minions. Scotland reaps all the benefits off the back of the English taxpayers but the English do NOT receive the same benefits.

Scotland wants their freedom from the UK. England wants that for Scotland! The sooner we're rid of them the better off England will be. We must start by giving the boot to Gordy Brown and the lot of Scots in Whitehall and Westminster and tell them to scoot back to 'Scootland'. Blair, Brown, and their minions are bleeding Britain dry. The lot are bloodsucking parasites. The English people are so cheesed off. They push this nonsense about downplaying CHRISTmas and there very well could be a take-to-the-streets revolution. Make certain to read the readers' commentary.

Several years ago, I discovered an article concerning William Wallace and Prince Charles Edward Stewart(Stuart - "Bonnie Prince Charlie") which stated that Blair and company's purpose in getting elected was to gain control of the British government in revenge for William Wallace and Bonnie Prince Charlie. That maybe so but I don't care what the reason. England needs to be free of the Union as well with her own Parliament separate from the Westminster (British) Parliament.

Here's an article which will provide you with information regarding the political correctness nutters and their continued suppression of CHRISTianity in favour of (an)other religion(s) and we know precisely which religion it is - the same one you have been talking about.

http://www.dailymail.co.u...

What you have described in your country is happening here in the UK. These (Muslim) immigrants flee their oppressive countries to live free in Western countries but instead of adopting the customs and lifestyle of their adopted country, they get the rules severely manipulated to favour them. Muslims are permitted to wear their customary dress in schools, et al, but yet Christians are suspended or sacked for wearing a cross or Crucifix. A few months ago, a Christian woman won her case against BA who suspended her without pay for wearing a cross pendant. Even more recently, a teenage student was suspened for wearing a cross. She stood firm and refused to remove it so the school suspended her. The courageous girl continues to stand firm.

Religion - organised religion - is more trouble than it's worth. The purpose is to control the masses and wealth and property as well. Spirituality is MOST important as we are all great spiritual beings.

The sooner ALL organised religion vanishes the sooner we'll have a more peaceful world. We need to embrace our diversity and learn to live and let live. The difference in cultures will probably remain for a long time to come but ALL must learn to live in peace.

Cheers!

Are we being discriminated against in our own countries in favor of cheap labor fleeing their countries??It sure feels like it...Not so much in Canada with the very strict labor laws,but to the south in the States...is immigration such a money maker for our countries???I think not,but I can very well be mistaken.

All I can say to that little school girl is BRAVO!!!Does she have a support fund set up??I'll gladly give money for that.

Foreign policies and immigration policies must be revised to face the changes in the world map.No civil registry in your country?Then PROVE us beyond reasonable doubt your identity.Can't do it?? TS...See ya later

I would give you best response,but you answered a comment,insted of responding...but truly worthy of best response!!!

Cheers!!
