The Terry Schaivo threads were pretty brutal, but if you want to see fur fly, try the religion threads, any day.
American Conservatives have no leader right now.
We went through that in Canada, when the right was split, and the liberals won election after election. 12 Years. That was after 8 years of conservative government, one that most Canadians felt was corrupt.
That's 20 years.
20!
Can you imagine what we Canadians have lost under 20 years of socialist and corrupt government? Not just the money. We had a massive brain drain in the '90's, we lack any semblance of a justice system, and we have the right to pay $20k a year extra in taxes for the right to line up for 2-4 months to see a specialist, or get a MRI.
Imagine your next 20 years, and don't let what happened to us, happen to you.
I got kicked off the religious threads. I was too conservative:') Seriously, I know there are a lot of good people in your country. Hang in there.
