Horst's Comments (2192)

“Branching out from Moslem bashing to hating on gays now, eh? So many people to loathe, so few hours in the day...I don't know how you manage it.”

“Blair? Probably, and efforts have been made to have him prosecuted. There are renewed calls for exactly that to happen as the British enquiry into the Iraq war continues to gather what appears to be more and more evidence of his complicity in what may well have been a war crime in invading Iraq.”

“Excellent post Horst!!!”

“Excellent. Yes Erdogan has stated that Minarets are "Lances" and also "Minarets are our Bayonets". If that is not war-mongering and a veiled threat (pun INTENDED), then what is?

If more westerners would read and understand the Koran ALONG with the concept of how it demands ISLAM BE SPREAD ("by word or sword"- meaning, convert or die); the more people might understand that Islam, like Christianity and Judaism, are keeping humankind from PROGRESS, PEACE and GLOBAL PROSPERITY. Enough of human oppression by myth, superstition, and make-believe. It's the 21st century, not the 7th.”

“That's true. It is like here, the Christians are integrist first, and American, if they remember what it truly means.”

“If they said Muslims must be defended
it's not a crime in it self

But, if they had a plan to hurt people, then
they deserve what they get in my book
Muslim or not, Good nad Bad is evrywhere .”

“Point well made. There is enough blame to go around. Why would anyone with a little bit of class want to attend a White House event with an email as an invitation.? Seeking a third party to drum up a ticket? All about gaining the spotlight at whatever cost. Disgusting! http://manchestersquare.blogspot.com”

“The media and apparently a lot of Americans' response to the party-crashing incident is approaching Dick Cheney-like hysteria. Come on! Let's get a grip. Security will now be tightened, the perpetrators have been chastened and won't try it again, and NOTHING BAD HAPPENED! Get a life!! The only disturbing thing about the incident, as far as I'm concerned, is that the missus chose such a common-place bit of Indian costumery to wear, when there are so many beautiful saris to buy in the DC area.”

“Maybe the lesson is we need to stop watching and pick better media?”

“where does it say black man?”

“Now Horst, that is not really true. In central Switzerland, yes, but in the major cities of Zürich and Geneva the spirit of the Reformation lives on. In fact, in the neighborhood of Enge in Zürich the doors of Roman Catholic Church was smeared with human feces when in was built as that section of the city called for no Catholics.

Switzerland is indeed multicultural, but Calvin lives.”

“How do you know Polanski is a very sick man?”

“Your inadequacies don't seem to discourage you from voicing baseless allegations.”

“yeah Warren Buffett. Found this on another page HP page:

Fortune magazine April 27,2009; Buffett investing in a Chinese battery manufacturer which will supply batteries to a Chinese auto maker which will sell a $5,000 electric car here. The battery manufacturer only uses *MIGRANT LABOR* and houses them in company dortmitories. We use to call these buildings "slave quarters." The battery company wants workers who focus on the job, not owning a house or raising a family....”

“Sad but true. The middle east is a large part of the modern slave trade.”

“really let us see a similar ban on temples, synagouges and churches too...”

“they are not xenophobic, they just want to live in mutual respect.

I am living in Switzerland since 5 years and you are safe going outside and it is clean.

i went to Paris, France , one month ago, it was dirty with magrebins yelling in the subway.. do not see any respect for others in that.”

“I hope the Huffington Post dispatches some other reporters to BC to find out exactly what IS going on in the Great White North....this country's nowhere near as innocuous and cuddly as most Americans are aware of.....

Spending on the Olympics has not just impacted housing and human rights; funding for communities and programs throughout BC has been slashed, and public assets put up for sale to pay off the outrageous debts incurred for the two-week Olympic party, and a LOT is going on behind the scenes with the Olympics as a smokescreen. The British Columbia government, i.e. its governing party, is operating as a "rogue state" but because of its lockdown on courts, police and collusion by the big media the Canadian public is being kept from the truth and the politicians and corporations who should be being investigated and charged for wrong-doing are given a hall pass by the RCMP, which doesn't want to investigate or pretends not to see the glaring evidence. Canadian blogdom is doing its best....but maybe it will take US media attention to open up the can of worms that British Columbia has become in recent years.....

One of many related items: the Premier himself is up for fraud, forgery and threats/misrepresentations in relation to a deal with the Haisla Nation over both resources and Olympics-related programs. You won't find that in the Vancouver Sun or Vancouver Province; you'll find it in the Terrace Daily......”

“Nowhere in Zirin's article does he blame "all of Canada" - your assumption that he does is typical of Canadian paranoias (speaking as a Canadian). The mounting authoritariansm of the Canadian state is the issue, this Olympics-related high-handedness is only one small aspect of it. And in reply to the other poster, it's not how many other American journalists who have been stopped and interviewed, but the number of Canadians who have been harrassed, detained, interviewed in relation to the Olympics.

And Olympics-related security is one of only several issues surrounding the decay of democratic institutions and practices in Canada; the Olympics may be the Titanic but Canadian bloggers are engaged in the "hunt for the Bismarck" - the smoking guns of the suspicious buy-outs of BC government-owned corporations and government agencies and publiclyowned resources by US capital. see http://bctrialofbasi-virk.blogspot.com/2009/11/robin-mathews-gary-bass-unabridged_27.html for a starting point. The Olympics controversies are many, but are only a small part of the climate of corporate/police/governing party "arrogance" underway.....for other Olympics related scams, though, I suggest you look into the funding fracas around the Vancouver Athletes' Villages (what amounted to financial blackmail by Fortress Investments and its subsidiary)....and also the railroading of the Powder Mountain Resort proposal, which involved officials who are now in VANOC and which was where the Nordic Events facility in the Callaghan Valley are to be held......”

“Very true, and funny, but i don't think any one is blaming all of canada.they are so non-threatening, with that cute accent, ya betcha !”

“UNHRC is one of the biggest jokes in the world. With their "defamation" resolution. Freedom of speech includes freedom to offend.
These tantrums are just what makes people weary of Islam.”
