Don Cherry's false offensive remarks

[vinnied]

Wonder who made the final decision of what we should considered racist and what is alright. Seems to me theres only a small group that have decided this comment was out of line.. well them and rogers, but rogers used it as a golden opportunity, and jumped.
So then, is it a minority movement dictating what we can and cant say these days?

Yes, its the same small group every time. The "Always Offended Crowd". Immigrants weren't offended by Don Cherry's comments, but that's not the point. This was a perfect opportunity to play the victimhood card, and these "always offended" types are always looking for the next opportunity to play up this PC nonsense. Notice how it's always the same posters who jump on these bandwagons, immediately. While everyone else just shrugs and either tunes it out, gets angry, or goes along with the insanity for fear of being called a "racist" or "bigot" by one of these awful bullies. These people definitely need to be told to shut up. Vent your opinion all you want on the subject, but calling people racists or bigots, because they disagree with your diseased and evil viewpoint, is just plain wrong.

What kind of war

WW1 about 61,000 Canadians died, 172,000 wounded
WW2 about 42,000 Canadians died, 55,000 wounded

Should we translate to today's numbers??

All for Don Cherry?? Lol

Dumb dumb dumb

For Don Cherry, and everyone alive and living in most places in the world today. It's not only Canadians who sacrificed, and they didn't do it just for Canada.

Don Cherry's remarks apply to EVERYBODY who owes the lifestyle they enjoy today to the sacrifices made by our predecessors. Wearing a poppy is just one way of showing that those sacrifices haven't been forgotten, and are still appreciated even after all these years.

I know enough about wars, as much as a guy can who hasn't personally
been in one. So save the lecture.

I was referring to the dumbest post put on this forum, and pointing out the ridiculousness of it
As I see it's been deleted

So a company tossing Cherry's *bleep* cause he's a bad fit for them is weak? Lol
Denying them that freedom is weak. They may live to regret it as much as Cherry, that's the *bleep* of freedom.

As far as we need hardship to teach us all a lesson is BS. Like saying burning your house down will teach you not to play with matches.
Too bad theres so few veterans alive to ask that question, you'd get the answer. I know my grandfather and his brother would definitely say that's BS.
How much do you think that war, strife, hardship and pain costs in todays money? Your punishment to Canadians is to introduce even more taxes? Tooth ferry ain't paying for , neither Jesus. What about the veterans, many would say the ignored veterans with their injuries etc- they ain't cheap. If North America spends the next 20yrs in wars as they spent the last 20 yrs , we will be in an incredibly weak position in every way.

You do know there hasn't been a war where there hasnt been opposition to it, opposition to the draft etc?

No disrespect to those who've been lost iin Korea etc, and more recently Afganistan as itheir sacrifice didn't teach us Candians a damn thing. Guess we as a whole didn't suffer enough hardship to straighten up those snowflakes.

...And then ,we would have to define 'cuckery ' to them and that they would have to be okay with it...

Hmm, kind of curious - how would you approach that definition?

Would you go with the internet insult version alluding to interracial pornography in which the white married woman spurns her weak emasculated white husband in favour of black men, or the cuckservative version promoted by the right white nationalists to demean weak conservative sellouts?

I guess bottom line is, do you favour white nationalism, or just plain old garden variety racism?

Just asking for a politically correct snowflake friend of mine.

Yes, pretty much sums it up.

I find it funny that someone would feel they'd have to explain to veterans what "cuckold" means. It's assumes ignorance which is a rather trite stereotype to have of veterans. I'm pretty sure most people learn it in middle school, especially if they study Shakespeare. It's a concept which has morphed in meaning somewhat to meet the definitions you provide above and in a political context it is certainly adopted by the right white nationalists. Even without the modern definitions one would expect people of modest intelligence to be able to get the insulting meaning and general idea from context. I guess not everyone has as high opinion of veterans as I, or I suspect you would.

I love when people tell on themselves this much. We are not "losing our country".

[Paddy24]

I think it was a thread called 'Canada reaches a new level of cuckery' from another poster
that got me on to the term.

We are losing the country from within...from the PC extremism.

in a political context it is certainly adopted by the right white nationalists

On that note, I happen to know a few recent-(3 to 15 years) additions to Canada. They are not extreme PC left.
One guy I know sort of speaks english as fast as a machine gun ( I have to ask him to repeat thing 3 times) was the sec/ treasurer of a 'de registered political party with nationalist undertones in Canada'.
He does not have white skin and he is a 100% nationalist.

White nationalist is different to nationalist. One wants a nation for white people, the other doesn't specifically limit it to just white people, but tends to have other defining characteristics which may simply be shared values, culture, etc. Irish nationalism is basically the movement for a unified Irish nation, ruled by the Irish people, often as part of a greater Europe and free from "occupation" by British. Irish nationalism is largely rooted in socialism and even Marxism and is largely not excluding of immigrants to Ireland irrespective of their skin colour or country of origin. The concept of nationalism is extremely broad.

I just axed my Sportsnet package ..

The drivel that Ron McClean and the #discussion is now isn't welcome in this household ..

It's HOCKEY ... Drop the puck and leave the BS out of it.

[Bsuds]

That's why we record the games and FF thru the BS in between periods and the commercials.

When I watched nhl games I had sound turned off. There was a segment I did listened to many years ago called the (original) hot stove.

I remember that ...

The game AND the "lesson" of how hockey is just a game for ALL " us people" was best left to Peter Puck IMO ...

Bring that back and the game would be OK ...
