US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

What for? Why am I responsible to reign in these crazies? Is it because they happen to have the same skin colour and come from the same country that you think they might listen to me?
The same way a klansman would listen to a reasonable white person?

I don't think action is what's being asked for... just visual vocal or otherwise denouncement... make a political stand... announce the atrocities... say something that might put them on the same side as those against the radicals... that's all. Doesn't matter that they listen if they won't. But draw a clear and concise line in the sand that you are not them.

Without going into the link if it's positive groups then yes like that . But hire a marketing crew cuz their word isn't getting out very well.

Maybe if the news shows invited a wider range of guests on the 'talking heads' shows, then these groups would be seen. They're out there, but don't pretend they don't exist.

OK: Where I live in Richmond, I am the one feeling like an outsider!
Too many, too fast, no regard for building restrictions and all levels of government just taking the cash and virtually saying, do whatever you want.
I did not use to feel this way.
Why do I now?
It's not like home anymore and I sure as hell don't see honor or politeness or any enthusiasm in learning Canadian culture or history AT ALL.
Maybe I'm in a particularly bad spot but it once was, a great spot.
I could go on for pages but there's no point.
I now have no choice but to call myself prejudice, even though I keep trying not to be.
Almost all my friends have left, because of it and they ask me why the hell do I stay.
Guess that question is exactly the point.

Sorry Rats. Couldn't be a chicken shit.

Not to be difficult Corn , but if no one knows about them.. do they exist? Secret society of good people??

It seems the other side has no problem being heard..

If it bleeds, it leads, right?

Which will the media hype more of?

"Coming up, another bomb attack in Mosul - film at 11"

...or..

"Coming up, another Muslim group denounces the latest attack - film at 11"

So back to the media it's their fault. Fair enough I suppose , but I would try very hard to get my message out if I were the good people, that's all

Gotta love the Donald!

If Shillary had won

… no way is most of the civilized world talking about the “immigrant crisis” in Sweden right now! :mex:



:lol:



The Donald has already reduced the Clinton News Network to a rotting corpse.

You've just gotta love the guy!!! :thumbs:

I honestly believe that at this point more viewers would tune in for the latter.

I would agree with that ( :shock: ) - but I don't the media will change their ways anytime soon.

Absolutely. Having never seen anything remotely close to this it would be a spectacle
