Obviously wear something sturdy.... Personally I like to wear a mini-tank...

Been on the lookout for a new boat and been taking some pics myself - but not sure how the budget will go.

I get this horrible feeling that you actually think that. The points are neither carefully thought out, nor are they fact. I obviously disagree. "By addressing every other non-white race as "you" and typifying the actions of a few as the actions of every other person on planet earth because of the race that they're not, yeah, that's racist. And thick." I really think it's clear as day. If you want me to elaborate then... "You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... and that's OK." Not a fact, not OK. "I call you, [censored], Towel head, Sand-[censored], Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink" This is every other race on earth he is describing as "you". "why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?" Lots of races live in ghettos, including Caucasians. And I'd imagine poverty was a leading issue. Europe has poor areas filled with crime too incidentally. "You have Martin Luther King Day." That's a day for everyone. He was a great man. "You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi." Isn't this a religious holiday? A bit like Christmas? And who is "you" here exactly? "we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce." You're rooting for a white Chamber of Commerce, really? "You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it." He's talking about ORANGE people Andrew. This should be a sign. Note how "you" (everyone else on planet earth) is not afraid to announce it - sounds a bit like a generalisation to me, but make your own mind up. "You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us." Is this the Chinese, Mongolians, the Bangladeshis? I'm struggling to keep up here. Or is it all of them? Every person of non-Caucasian origin is trying to shoot or carjack you - is that what you're considering as well thought out and not racist? You think that because someone has a different skin color to you that they're a robbing, shooting criminal? "But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law." For running away? That's kind of what criminals do - even Caucasian ones. And is the procedure different for non-Caucasian police officers? "I am proud" To be honest I'm not sure what of if that's the size of the chip on your shoulder. Really? Proud of being born? Proud of not being a gazelle? Proud of having two ears? WTF? "Why is it that only whites can be racists??" Not a fact. See the rest of human history. Sigh. Perhaps too politically correct for you - okay see Rwanda as an example. "we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS in this country" Not a fact. And the country isn't Canada anyway. This isn't just political correctness - that email is flawed to the bone...

"I say, let's cure cancer!! Let's do this thing! Yeeha!" Cornerstone, Motivational Scientist. 2010 Nobel Prize Winner for Science. "Hey Palestine - Hey Israel. C'mon Group Hug!" Cornerstone, International Aspirational Peacemaker. 2010 Nobel Prize Winner for Peace. "Guys, when we go out in the second half, let's score more goals than them!! Woo Hoo!" Cornerstone, Soccer Coach. 2010 Nobel Prize for Soccer. etc., etc. Also look out for the upcoming Oscar for Best Film for an idea on a napkin....

Dude, they don't let Canadians take part, regardless of color. Or dudes. It's time to let go of the dream.... That email is the stream of consciousness of a complete imbecile, and a total racist. I could go through it point by point, but really - why bother. It's plainly obvious from start to finish - by addressing every other non-white race as "you" and typifying the actions of a few as the actions of every other person on planet earth because of the race that they're not, yeah, that's racist. And thick.

Congrats on the new home! Ah, the sweet, sweet joys of never having to rake the lawn or take out the garbage.

Apparently nominations closed less than 2 weeks after he took office..... Pathetic. Not his fault of course, embarrassing for him in fact.
