  Gay-bashing Alliance MP

  me thinks the recent gay-bashing by an alliance mp was not driven by an anti-gay agenda so much as it was a politically motivated move to ensure that the alliance and tory parties never merge.

  but he's still a dick-head.. wg

  Hi Shamus,

  :I still stand by my comment that Canadian Politics are about as interesting as watching grass grow.

  I can't really argue with you about that.

  Hi Shamus,

  :I bet the ppl that voted for him are regretting it..

  Many Alliance supporters are having doubts. Hope they join the Tory ranks, or we'll never get rid of the Liberals

  Hi Scully,

  Canadian politics offer the citizen a broader range of choice I suppose, but personally I'd like to see both the former Reform party and the NDP dissolve into oblivion. NDP kooks are just as aggravating as the right-wing ones.

  Emotional Terrorism.

  sirona's thread about bullying got me thinking.

  there's another type of bullying, which, imho, can be far worse.

  i'm talking about psychological bullying, where fear of a persons hysterical reaction forces us to act in manner that fits in with what the person wants.

  Hi Englishman,

  Sort of like Manchausen by Proxy, only the victim is also the perpetrator.

  Religious fanaticism is a great breeding ground for pettiness

  having been raised as a dub, as i look back to those days, i can't count the number of times issues were raised by the pettiest of things.

  buying a vehicle that was anything but a foor-door sedan - you know, the kind most suitable for service - could in fact start a whirl-wind of gossip - he's not putting "kingdom" interests first...they don't need another car - if they're that well off then they should be helping out a little more with our kingdom hall's expenses etc.. what are some of the most pettiest issues you have seen raised while you were a dub?.

  Hi gopher,

  :Some of them said "fortunate" instead of "lucky", as if that made a big difference.

  splitting hairs, as usual.

  We couldn't wear coloured shirts on the platform...except for light blue or grey conservative shades.

  P.S. Thanks for the welcome

  Hi little witch,

  My mom scratched out "Wichy Woman" on my favorite Eagles album...that really choked me because it had the greatest twin lead guitars on that song...

  Hi Mysterious,

  I was bummed out we counldn't play cowboys and indians with my cousins who could because their dad wasn't a dub so their mom let them...

  Other petty things:

  hushed whispers going around the KH after the service meeting because someone bought a colour tv (this was in the early 60's when that was considered an unnecessary luxury) especially when they already had a perfectly good b&w and many in the cong. didn't even have one at all

  and as I said in the chat the other day, I observed my mom and aunt in a big dillemna over whether or not they should give the cat a freshly trapped mouse because the cat did not kill it, and thus it was being fed to the cat without being properly bled...
