The life of a small community of about two thousand people was turned upside down in Ontario, Canada, when hordes of TV crews descended on it trying to film paranormal activity there recently. This happened repeatedly over several months.Things got bad when the Church door, and the pew were broken s...

Oh the Ouija Board, now thats really freaky! I can find no explanation for it. I experienced it first hand when my daughter came home from school one day some years ago, all excited, and told me she had learnt something new at school. She drew the curtains, and rigged up a Ouija board. Both of us we...

Considering that another year is almost over....... What brought you the greatest pleasure, and what is your greatest gripe? As the Indian Cheif said to his gathered tribe: I have news for you, some of it good, some bad. The bad news is that you MFs have been so lazy again! There will be nothing to ...

Yes, it was mostly a mixed bag for me too. :| Winning that lottery will have to wait for next year, I suppose. :lol: Meeting "nice" people brought the maximum pleasure. Shame about all the wars and natural calamities around planet earth, bringing so much misery to mankind. All that Chardon...

That is very sad news indeed for anyone, but most particularly at this time of the year. I interacted with him on this forum once or twice, and knew right away that here was a good human being. It is a sad fact that the good ones dont last too long here on planet earth, the reasons can be debated. T...

(zubber, I can see why you are so popular. At least one of the reasons is you have shown a lot of us how to "block unwanted images". I have always felt one of the most tasteless things for anyone to do is to wave your country's flag on a friendly forum in peoples face. Sorry for being off-...

Well, congrats DD! You had us on tenterhooks here! Are you sure you are in one piece? No harm done to any vital organs??

@BM: The only time I might like that flag would be a beautiful naked blonde wrapped up in it!

Well, mostly he is satirical in a funny way; he certainly makes some points that I agree with!

Massacre? ......

Blood and guts on the dance floor?

I thought this was the season of Peace....havent we had enough of war??
It cant be all bad, at least he won his case in the Supreme Court! So, justice was done!

I find this posturing by the UAE quite ridiculous! :evil: This means I would have to cancel my plans for visiting Dubai! However, its another story when I say that I find Canadian air-fares too high. Had to travel to San Antonio, Texas recently, and the airfare was almost double from a Canadian city...

Bora Bora...I thank you for enlightening me. "The funny thing is that in the US, ethnicity doesn't matter and people make friends, live together, socialize and work with a mixture of ethnicities. It's unfortunate but the Pakistani-American, Indian-American or the Lebanese-American who could be ...

I find DF a pleasant experience mostly. Its only the occasional snide racist remark or snigger that leaves a bad taste. I found a BBC panorama program rather enlightening.....

I only visit the General Forum too, and that too occasionally.
Here is some more I found on Youtube.
Of course, all this is not for the Racists. Racism, I think, is a hereditary condition, and its prognosis is bad.

Racism is racism, no matter how it is dressed up. Canada has an immigration policy that has been in place for about 2 decades now. They have fine-tuned it, and continue to do so further as circumstances dictate. On the whole, after doing all the math, the Govt. of Canada feels that they have benefit...

Generally, I agree with you, however, its my own theory, not proven yet of course, but the way I find racism endemic to certain races makes me think there must be some gene operating somewhere that makes people racists. :bigsmurf: And what are your thoughts on individuals who go through life with a...

I dont go through life with a big chip on my shoulder. I have a feeling you were offended by my posting the two Panorama programs here. Some people dont have the stomach to face the truth. Others are just plain hypocritical. Peace. :bounce: And others couldn’t recognise the truth, through their ign...

It was pretty funny in one discussion on this forum there was a brown guy and myself agreeing on something. I got called a racist, and the other guy said "I'm brown, I can't be racist!" and he was let off the hook. That experience really opened my eyes a little more. zonker, clearly you a...

Of course we are all racist to some degree. Some people seriously think that because they are non-white that they aren't racist, which I find quite funny. Are you some kind of an expert on the subject? Or is this just a "wise sage" observation? Racism may be of varying degrees; the racism...

Well, the few years that I spent in the UAE, I did not see any racism. I did see a lot of injustice being done to vulnerable sectons of society, which I expected from a rather illiterate people that had suddenly come into new (oil) wealth, knowing fully well that non of the expatriates had any right...

@zubber: UAE has a large expatriate population, that outnumbers the locals.But the expatriates do not have ANY rights, so you are dependent on what your own country can do for you if you get into trouble; so that depends upon where you are from. If you happen to be from the third world, then you tur...

BM, warmest feelings for you on this first day of the brand New Year! :D I was also checking up on why BMWs have transmission problems, for your sake.

Niqab - "liberating" for women, and male bank robbers apparently... :roll: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12101647 Niqab is an Arabic word for "mask". Masked men have been robbing banks since time immemorial. :bounce: And while we are at it, why not talk about the Hoo...

Kanelli, when you dont get it, then the logic is flawed. Bank robbers, and other conmen and trcksters, have used all kinds of disguises. Just search the internet and you will see what I mean. So why particularly trawl the net and bring up the 'niqab'? Unless, of course, you want to be provocative, k...
