okay, this? This is not cool.

Canada's oldest Jewish day school was struck by a firebomb yesterday

Note to religious fanatics assholes everywhere: Play nice or leave. Keep your damn quarrels and antisocial tendencies out of my country. I was going to say "keep them where they belong" but I can't think of anywhere they belong, so do the world a favour and try to cultivate a better outlook on life, mmmkay?

What is the point of coming here if you're going to bring your narrowminded bigoted ways with you?

EDIT: That sounds sorta anti-immigrant, which it wasn't meant to be. Note to assholes born in this country: You suck, too. More, in fact, because there's less excuse for you.

Either way, not cool.

I agree with all of the above, except:

I know it is not fair that people bring the violence from the other side of the world here, but we regularly go elsewhere in the interest of bringing peace -- which often looks a lot like violence, even under the UN banner.

Faulty parallelism, IMO. I know the road to hell is paved with good intentions* but I do feel they still ought to count for something.

*Unless Pratchett and Gaiman are right and it really is paved with frozen door-to-door salesmen.

not necessarily faulty parallelism, though I somewhat expected the criticism insofar as UN actions consitute one morally sanctionned set of actions, responding to one moral code and meeting the ideal of "good intentions" according to this code which is, granted, a fairly widely accepted code and many terrorist actions adhere to another moral code. But you definitely have a point, and I was not undermining the UN, at all. In fact, I believe that the actions in Iraq might better have been taken under UN auspices. That doesn't mean that what was done would have been any less violent, or that the local people would have been any happier with the results.
