| Allow me to quote Chuck Norris for my response: Wow, the other Conservatives must be really proud to have you representing their intellectual abilities. What an amazing riposte! Now why don't you go get yourself out of the basement and go tell your mommy what a man you are. What an amazing riposte!... |

| Once you've been around awhile you'll get to know the "culture" on this site. Glad you put "culture" in quotes :). I don't think you have to be around here very long to see how some members "think" and behave :(. But it's a forum: I have as much right as anyone to expr... |

Fireworks Fireworks: I think his view is that JG's sexual tastes are wrong, and deserving of being punished. I find that equally offensive. Was it yourself who said this? ...
"they make something outrageous up and then reply to it in mock responding outrage, as if someone did say the outrageous thing." |

$1: Sure, but it certainly influences me.
Your choice of course. To be accurate I shouldn't have referred to "it" as if it could exert influence. We decide for ourselves whether to be influenced by "it," which by itself has no power. |

| I thought it was fair game. I think his view is that JG's sexual tastes are wrong, and deserving of being punished. I don't think it's fair game for you to air assumptions about another poster's views unless he/she has explicitly expressed them; and especially to ask whether he would therefore desc... |

$1: to me the blame lies with the accusers/witnesses and their blatant lying.
I think there's probably no such thing as "the blame." Multiple factors & circumstances led up to the present situation. Plenty of blame to go around. |

| Have you forgotten that Ghomeshi showed a video of his sexual activities to CBC brass that so shocked them they fired him on the spot? Is this true? I know he admitted to rough sex but are you certain there was a video? Why wouldn't such a shocking thing, sufficient for a firing, be introduced as e... |

Fireworks Fireworks: Are you some sort of a prude?
I realize that wasn't addressed to me but it's offensive nevertheless. Please stick to the subject and don't get personal. |

| ..... we know the police and prosecution can be blinded by wanting a conviction, and not look all that hard for exculpatory evidence. That's my guess about what really went wrong here. Our police & judical system is too much focused on getting easy convictions rather than getting at the truth, ... |

| The crown people must have asked them that question, and if both of them said "no" to the crown people then what were the crown people supposed to do? That's a question that interests me. If the emails existed before charges were laid (as they obviously did) shouldn't the police have foun... |

| To be clear, I'm for any system of transport that can be shown to have very stringent safety systems in place and sufficient insurance to pay for cleanup if something does go wrong. To use the BP example, it would not be an option for a company to skip using a costly safety valve, because there wou... |

andyt andyt: I do wonder if the rail argument is like the pitt bull argument. Noting that usually the pitbull defenders are pibull owners - i.e. they have something personal to gain or lose. |
