Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Holy hell, woman. When you send someone traffic, you send someone TRAFFIC.My hosting provider thought I was being DDoSed. - Sean McCormick
"The New York Times link to me yesterday [...] generated one-fifth of the traffic I normally get from a link from Small Dead Animals." - Kathy Shaidle

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called on parents in India to stop seeing girls as an economic liability and to end the practice of killing unborn female foetuses.
Singh’s appeal on India’s 59th Independence Day came four days after the grisly discovery of 25 female foetuses from a private clinic in northern Punjab state, which has the country’s lowest sex ratio due to rampant female foeticide.

Goodness gracious Kate, one of your devotees actually requested permission to address me. You are very powerful. Why do I post here? I oppose Kate’s world view, that’s why. Is this rocket science to you graduates of SDA High?
You agree with Kate’s POV, I don’t. Pretty simple.
“You are very powerful”
Maybe Johnny suffers from blog envy.
I don’t think I saw any women watching the baby tossing. Huh. I wonder why.

~ likely home delivering the next bouncy bundle of joy…
“You agree with Kate’s POV, I don’t. Pretty simple.”
Yeah, but every time that she responds to you she smacks you down like the ignorant dick that you are. Yet you keep coming back.
Must be a masochist thing.
multirec: if that’s your idea of a smackdown dear heart you’ve got one very weak chin 😉
Something paper hat-related, no doubt.
By chance were you dropped on your head from the second story during a baby-bouncing ritual?
..kinda did the same thing to my little brother when he was about four years old. We had been playing with homemade parachute toys, you know, a paper napkin with lengths of thread tied to each corner of the unfolded napkin, the opposite ends of the thread tied to a 9/16 s.a.e. fine thread nut. Deftly fold the napkin, gently wrap the threads around the napkin and throw the whole shebang as high as you can up in the air…. viola the nut gently parachutes to the ground. What fun.
Take one large card board box approximately 2ftx3ftx3ft, punch holes in the four corners of the top of the box, tie four approximately five foot lengths of 3/8 inch cotton rope through the holes on each corner of the box, tie the other ends of rope to the four corners of your mother’s largest bed spread, take entire apparatus to mother and father’s second story bedroom with balcony, add little baby brother and push off balcony…. the bed spread never opened up, never left his little head. Later in life he had three sons and my little sister had three of her own, no brother tossing was allowed,ritual lasted only one generation.
I hear you get bonus points for catching them on the first bounce.
What ever you say little Johnny boy. Keep posting though, I get a kick out of watching you make a fool out of yourself.
Spartan-esque.
Except, if the Spartans were doing it, you would be falling over each other to praise them.
How representative is this practice of a religion/people? Probably a lot less representative in terms of proportion than alchohlic wife and children-beaters. And the authorities can intervene at any point in both cases, but they only do so when they are asked to.
Perspective hurts.
That should have read alcoholic wife and child-beaters in Canada.
“…which has the country’s lowest sex ratio due to rampant female foeticide.”
Well I can see where that that might lead to a decline in ‘getting some’ down the road. ‘Gender Ratio’ I might believe. 😉
Actually if you watch the video closely that one guy seems to have spring loaded arm extensions!
See how fast he is? Picked the baby right out of the air on the first bounce, not his first baby bouncing holiday event for sure.
And you point is ? jing?
Did you delete ‘crusaders’ before using ‘Spartans’?
Please list the number woman’s shelters you’ve volunteered in, say in this last decade or hey, the one before, k? Food banks? Gave good winter clothing to poor and needy families? After all that’s where these wives and children of abusive alcoholic spouses wind up…right?
“again do not confuse religion with Islam”
there is typing error
the correction:
” again do not confuse culture and every body look like Muslim with Islam and Muslim people”
for more information of laws in Islam go to this web page
http://www.al-islam.org/
so many country before accept Islam as their country religion were not Muslim and for some reason they kept their culture before Islam to their country.
now this is up to goverment of India and their law of supporting small children right and criminla law to forbid those kind of wrong culture.
People think as soon as see the look like Indian with white dress they must be they are Muslim
in relgion of Islam even Tatoo are banned
since in Islam religion think Tatoo you hurt your skin
Islam is the perfect religion for life for spriritual peace and for civil and criminal
again some people think Islam allow young men go and blow up yourself for name of Islam that is not part of Islam law
Never Prophet Mohamed did kill any innocent men or woman for sake of power and money.
all new century or worldwar two if you look at
history chanell came from hatfull people who grow up bad and end up to become criminal
real roat of all criminal act is hate or wrong culture
such as like Nazi christian German that Hilter who German soldure said Hi hitler to him to go and kill Jewish and otehr christian who were not German for hate and they think they are better than other race is not acceptable belief
or steal their land of Muslim like Sahonim in Israel who used religion of Jewish to Kill Muslim
or United stated used as example Japan nuclear weapn to scare world they think they have right to steal all source of attack other contry and made decision for world by killing innocent people or Samda Hossain who used name of Islam to kill his own people and family
people used relgion to kill are not human becuase nature of all good religion is peace
Never Prophet Mohamed did kill any innocent men or woman for sake of power and money. hassan
Hassan, he DID exploit a young girl, for his sexual and social standing. Married at 6 but not touched sexually until AGE NINE!?
AS well anyone who risks their lives by declaring that they do not want to be a muslim is not in a religion, but a cult.
Separation of church and state.
NO SHARIA LAW HERE.
Nazi were not Christians either, you need more informed sources.
The rest of your rant sounds like a bad cbc documentary program…
“in relgion of Islam even Tatoo are banned”
Is it like the clitoris then?
Not welcome in Muslim cultures? hmmm
So if a Muslim man gets a tatoo, what happens to him?
Rob C: your comment about these folks being backward or whatever is off the mark. I’m sure westerners might see something like acupuncture being practised and think WTF, but research (western style research) has shown those eastern kinds of approaches work. How come no one here is asking or interested in the symbolism of this ritual?
The answer is that you don’t have any curiousity about these rituals because you’ve already decided they are not legitimate on any level.
We can park our infants in front of a cathode ray machine for all the hours of the day and night, but these folks are nuts because they engage in a ritual that likely gives the child a sense of flying or floating.
Johnny, go study stats for ABI-I – Acqired Brain Injuries in infants, k?
Brain injury is accumulative and can result in brain lesions, personality disorders, mental impairments and fine motor skill disabilities, decades later. When we see skateboarders without head gear, we think sadly, future client of ABI…
“in front of a cathode ray machine for all the hours of the day and night,…”
Really? Do you actually think before you type?
How come no one here is asking…the answer is…Johnny girl having a Q and A session with himself,kinda like one hand clapping.Parking your kid in front a T.V. all day long might be how you raised your kids or how you were raised but don’t take it out on us,you know,non-sheeple.
I’m Dhimmiphobic and proud of it. Still …
As far as dropping babies off tall buildings into a sheet, it’s a curious custom but as long as nobody gets hurt, what the harm?
Great entertainment, at least.
Michael Jackson must be so jealous.
You can crack wise all day long but you cannot dismiss the argument so easily. Interesting how Kate reserves her censure for dissenters but is apparently fine with the off topic insulting belching that masquerades as debate here.
I am not concerned with the rabble. Way above that by now. Again, the point: there are rituals, including the one that Kate has chosen to mock, in other cultures and those rituals are founded in understandings within that culture.
Do you think for one moment that some of our western (white) rituals don’t look odd to others? Grow up for God’s sake. Part of the response to this video, by some, is to suggest the babes are being harmed or damaged and that the damage might be long lasting.
I counter with a comment about the short and/or long term damage that may be a consequence of a western parenting practise (tv set baby sitter) and the drivel spews forth.
I appeal to some of Kate’s more intelligent readers to at least be adult enough to concede (in private)there are valid cultural practises outside of North America.
“And you point is ? jing?”
My point is that it is a little more dangerous than dunking a child in a bucket of water, which, if anything, is as tormenting as a freefall, but its an article of faith. No more, and no less. It has nothing to do with Islam or Hinduism or whatever. Its a local tradition that probably dates back to as long ago as the Ancient Greeks. India and China are continuous civilizations, with many traditions and beliefs surviving since time immemorial.
“Did you delete ‘crusaders’ before using ‘Spartans’?”
Nah. The crusaders didn’t institutionalize random killing. They were just your ragtag bunch of unemployed and low skill workers who saw an opportunity for plunder. And the pope promised them salvation, too. Hardly the same as the Spartans. The spartans had civilization and institutions. The crusaders were, after all, the descendants of the barbarian hordes that the Romans despised.
And I don’t have to prove my charity credentials to you. Let’s put it this way – I haven’t lived in a hole of a town in some isolated part of Canada for my entire life. Been around the world. Seen a couple of things. Learnt from them. Its called keeping an open mind.
The child gets a floating or flying sensation,Johnny thinks these kids are filled with helium,I appeal to some of Kate’s more intelligent trolls to be adult enough…sorry,bit of an oxymoron,troll and intelligent.
Oh my. Apparently Kate hurt your feelings again. But lucky for you there are the CHRC “hate-speech” police to which to run, for you milquetoast types.
Also interesting how on lib blogs like kinsella’s, ‘censure’ becomes ‘censor’.
Freedom Fan: every once in a blue moon try swinging at a ball that’s actually been pitched. Did I indicate my feelings were hurt? I’m emphasizing, again, the standard established by Kate here.
My guess is that she would like those standards taken at least semi-seriously. She has, once or twice, gotten pretty pissed at me for breaching the guidelines. If you go over this thread you’ll see that my comments are some of the least insulting, employ relatively few personal attacks etc.
I’ve made my point. My habit is to check for well thought out responses. There have been one or two on this thread. I don’t think that’s flattering of this readership.
This really brings out the racists, hey. Let’s make fun of foriegn brown people’s cultural events. The everyone not white is a muslim idiots really make me laugh at their stupidty and ignorance of the world.
It just goes to show that despite the attempts to make the site look like a mainstream politics site it’s just another stormfront without the jew hatred – they are friends of convience for know – but their liberal social views and just intelligence will exclude them eventually from the fascists of SDA
What if a father were allowed to drop his baby only after allowing same to be done to himself, first? How many babies would be dropped? None.
We laugh at the newfies, decades now as I can attest. They’re still not suing and whining..
The Swedes nail the Norwegians, the Greeks nail the Albanians, the …. you get the picture.
OUR society and culture has evolved in the last 60 years in leaps and bounds. Others need to catch up.
Why do you think we need child restraining seats?
Had to make it law!
Why is that?
Why is it that it’s racist for us to point out the dangers of doing this to a child? They also cut they foreheads of babies to the point of flowing blood for ‘culture’ guess that’s ok with some folks; not me, I think it’s child abuse, period.
If their was any real danger, they wouldn’t be doing it. This was posted to worry about the children but to mock and spout shit about brown people(or muslims as they are all known – to ignorant SDA regulars) this is what makes it racist.
Don’t act like you don’t know Kate or as if this is yr first visit to SDA – come on – we’ll all know what the response to this is supposed to be.
Johnny’s made his point,whatever that is.For more well thought out responses go read sir john’s comments.
please excuse my poor grammer – I was writing in a hurry. Btw India is a beautiful country. I was lucky enough to visit new Dehli with a friend in ’98 and the people are wonderful and kind, very funny and lots to see and do.
I don’t know who Maudlin is, never been to his site but he seems to have opinions similar to the average leftist
so anyway,
why are leftists always defending one thing and the opposite of that thing at the same time?
Leftists are the ones who want laws such as the one that forces you to wear a helmet to go on a bicycle ride,
but leftists see nothing wrong with dropping babies that have no protection at all – not even a bicycle helmet – from 50 foot high buildings.
Scratch a lefty,find a hypocrite.
“why are leftists always defending one thing and the opposite of that thing at the same time?”
For the same reason that rightists support freedom of speech but bristle at any opinions that don’t conform with their own. For the same reason that rightists support freedom of expression, or freedom to feed, but get outraged at the sight of bare breasts. Think breastfeeding thread on this site. Or the American Attorney-generals decision to cover the bare breast of a marble statue.
Hypocrisy is not the sole domain of any side.
Scratch a righty, find a hypocrite who is to daft to understand what hypocrisy is.
Oh so sorry. Apparently anyone is a racist unless he bows at the lib alter of multi-culturism, where beliefs and traditions of every culture are worthy of honor … except for eevil Western ones of course.
Yes, just so you don’t haul us before the CHRC commisars as being racist for ridiculing stupid, dangerous, and illiberal traditions in other cultures, I urge everyone to drop you on your head from a two story building (we promise to catch you … honest). Perhaps your world view would improve; couldn’t hurt anyway.
And I don’t have to prove my charity credentials to you. Let’s put it this way – I haven’t lived in a hole of a town in some isolated part of Canada for my entire life. Been around the world. Seen a couple of things. Learnt from them. Its called keeping an open mind.

Well good for you jing!
Please keep on, you’ve much to learn.
oh and by the way, my “skin” is dark, so was my papa’s and his mother’s, even darker…jet black long hair too – never cut.
To is spelled too,or are you too daft to know that?
So according to Libs, Conservatives are ‘hypocritical’ for defending freedom of speech while denouncing things they don’t like (also free speech).
Thanks pigeon, for once again for confirming my premise:
Say, isn’t defending free speech supposed to be the job of Liberals? Glad we could be of assistance to the honorable Keith Martin. The rest of the Libs are AWOL.
Bird brain pigeon doesn’t have the capacity to think beyond what the lapdog msm feeds him/her.
I do not know why leftists are the way they are, but I know I am not surprised they are defending the dangerous baby tossing.
Anything non-white, non-westerner, non-catholic, non-Jewish, non-conservative people do is always fine by them.
on the other hand no matter how right or how great what some white, westerner, catholic, Jewish, conservative people do, they always find something to complain about.
Leftists do not judge the act, they judge by whom is doing it.
They are the supreme bigots.
I have a sister in-law who is an entrenched lefty.When confronted with facts and reason that she can’t refute her only response is,”yeah,I guess you are right”,but she remains a lefty regardless of the fact that she can’t defend anything the media feeds her which she readily gulps down.
Exactly. The current example would be jeremiah-the-pariah wright. He is a big time Lib and a world class bigot. As he was spouting his race hatred and treason, most Libs ran to his defense proclaiming well he has a point.
Wright, who earned a doctorate degree, has a very simple way of identifying good and evil: White- Bad, Black- Good. Kinda like the rudderless Lib commenters here and those in the CHRC who see the world in laughably simplistic, superficial terms.
“To is spelled too,or are you too daft to know that?”
Trust you to be too daft to actually understand what I wrote, focusing instead on a typing error. You must feel so proud.
“Bird brain pigeon doesn’t have the capacity to think beyond what the lapdog msm feeds him/her.”
LDD doesn’t have the capacity to think beyond what the lapdog sda feeds him/her.
See. Easy as that. BIrd brain pigeon. I like. I hope you didn’t hurt your brain coming up with that one.
“So according to Libs, Conservatives are ‘hypocritical’ for defending freedom of speech while denouncing things they don’t like (also free speech).”
“Liberals are either insane, dishonest, intellectually lazy or some combination. -Freedom Fan”
Ah yes, another semantical joust with an intellectual icon of sda. If you want insanity, dishonesty, or intellectual laziness, you should just scroll above to look at the presence of those three traits in your attempt to equate banning free speech with free speech, albeith with the free speech being used to ban free speech. Or is that too deep for you?
PS- I am not pigeon. I am friend of Pigeon.
I don’t know what the Liberals are doing, but it seems that only a conservative of your ilk would think of using Free Speech to demand that free speech be banned. Its called hypocrisy.
“Leftists do not judge the act, they judge by whom is doing it. They are the supreme bigots. -Friend of the USA”
Ditto the right-wing, especially when the actions come from those who the right has sympathy for. Come to think of it, there’s not much discussion of the bizzare catholic rituals in America, you know, the ones that involve boys. Didn’t the Pope just give a speech about that. And of course, it was duly ignored, because those acts don’t nearly compare to this one, eh?
“When confronted with facts and reason that she can’t refute her only response is,”yeah,I guess you are right””
And what do right-wingers do when they are confronted with facts?
Call people names (Bird brain pigeon), accuse them of insanity, intellectual laziness etc.
Learn from the lefty. At the very least, at least she accepts facts, which is a redeeming trait missing in a lot of people here.
Oh I forgot. LDD knows ALL the facts. From here, no doubt.
Please support this absurd claim, or admit that you are poster girl supporting my premise about Liberals.
“So according to Libs, Conservatives are ‘hypocritical’ for defending freedom of speech while denouncing things they don’t like (also free speech).”
Support the premise of freedom of speech/expression/opinion, but demand the banning of anything that doesn’t conform with your views.
Conservatives don’t say “I don’t like it. But let it be”. They say “I don’t like it. Get it out of my face (and ban it from public broadcasting)”.
And when people disagree, they engage in pointless rants. Like yourself.
