Canada's PM is ready to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year.

Although certainly a well-intended gesture, 25,000 is not that much. At some points this year this number was reached in less than two days in Europe. Still much better than Cameron though who praises himself because of taking in a few thousand.

Googling tells me that the creator is Mexican. Funny that his own country is yellow, and that even Iran is blue. And if Alaska is yellow, the northernmost part of Canada should probably be as well.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.


Why is the American wearing a star of david?

Also loving the confrontational traditionally-dressed Arab woman contrasted against the pleasant Western(ized?) woman with her blond-haired daughter.

This is a fantastic picture on multiple levels, but it's missing a few things from the Brave Israeli American's side:

gently caress the Mail, but I admire their moxie in asking that question when there's a more preposterous woman on the same front page.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
What's preposterous about being a member of a SWAT team/SRT? Someone's gotta do the heavy lifting when there are people blowing themselves up all over the place.

As bad as I feel for the victims in Paris, I feel worse for our Muslim brothers and sisters who will be affected by the November attacks for even longer than the rest of us. We stereotype Islam as being full of barbarians and savages but we have our very own vindictive assholes in our own backyard.

Generally I'm uneasy with the idea of members of the public open carrying assault weapons and wearing paramilitary costumes in urban areas.
If the threat is legitimately that great, call the armed forces and admit that it's come to that, don't sneak in domestic ops through a semantic back door.

The police are supposed to work within the community and execute warrants by a judge or magistrate as members of the public, the army are supposed to occupy and secure areas and neutralize threats, and a blurring of the lines between the two has generally set a dangerous precedent elsewhere, with the police being regarded more as occupiers than folks you can talk to.
Whether that's more or less dangerous a precedent than domestic troop operations is debatable, but it does at least maintain the separation and avoids the warrior cop mindset.



Then again police-as-public has generally been far more blurred in parts of the UK outside the British mainland :cryingmrtayto: but I'm not sure that's the best path for the mainland to follow.
