"Canadian officials, seeking to make sense of another fatal shooting" I know we can blame U.S. for all of our problems, this way we can pretend that our country does not have any problems.

Some Canadian shoots some people and they blame the U.S. for it not the Canadian that did the shooting.

See what liberalism does to a country, next thing you know they will ban movies made in U.S., they will ban video games made in U.S. that have some sort of violence in them. Canada is going to turn into another Iran.

Sounds more like the direction the US has been heading for some time now with all this crazy legislation on movies and video games.

You're right.

It's a tightrope that the United States walks on, one side is your radical liberal and on the other is your radical conservative. We tend to fall off that tightrope sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. We know that if we ever fall down the middle we will get our balls crushed, the left one and the right one. So what do we do?

Morality is what we need and not radicalism.

That is not liberalism.

Of course it is an act of liberalism. Blaming the gun manufacturer rather than the person that used the gun is up that alley. Blaming the United States for the shootings and not the shooters is as liberal as you can get. Liberalism makes the shooter a victim because they would say that guns were forced upon him (poor shooter).

I remember when the word "liberalism" shared meaning with its close relative "liberty."  It was a long.... long..... time ago.

Blaming the US for allowing guns is as dumb as blaming countries because terrorists live in them.  In both cases, a country contains something that is seen as a threat to lives of people from your own country, so just blame the other country!  And apparently, that's enough to go to war over, so...

None of that is liberalism either.

Not here. I'm reclaiming it, unless a new word has arisen to replace it. I'm sick to death of people associating liberalism with softy morons lacking in any kind of personal responsibility and expecting everyone else to solve their problems. It's a crock.

Well I hate to tell you, but that's what we think of people deemed "liberals" in the US.  It's because that's what the Democratic party, who claims to be "liberal," espouses.  An American conservative is actually attempting to conserve Lockean liberalism and Smith capitalism.  (That's why we say Bush is a neocon and not a true conservative).

Of course, saying you're a Libertarian is almost as bad as saying you're a democrat.

I'm not so sure about that. I think that's a political fabrication. I haven't met anyone who has those kinds of views and identifies themselves as a liberal.

This canada thing isn't liberalism, its leftism.

Canada doesn't need stricter laws. The majority of it's citizens are sane beings, who wouldn't shoot someone. However, when an American gives a Canadian a gun, he'll be temped to use it. It would be up to the American's to not give the Canadian's their guns, not for the Canadians to reject them.

I was going to call the Canadians uneducated, but then I realized that Spht, iago, and I would probably hate me for doing that. =)

WTF Joe.  So because I fucking give you a gun & you shoot your mom it's my fault?
