  1. Palki has it right. In America that is the only way I ever heard it. I am half Irish and Murphy is as Irish name. ☘

  2.  @VISHALSINGH-iu6wr  America does not have class system. Everyone in America is equal -- no exceptions. That is constitutional law. Title of president is "first among equals."

  3. In any democracy, the government is the people and the people are the government. Canada, somehow, seems to have gotten it mixed up. They need to get control of their government.

  4. It is not China -- it is the one world government people.

  5. Your right to free expression is God-given and it does not change from country to country as you travel. Your right is your own private property and is your right anywhere you go. You do not leave your toothbrush at home when you visit Canada, do you?

  6.  @OnlyFam  Considering that individual Americans are the richest people in the world, I would say your point is void.

  7. "Expression of malignant hatred" is a God-given right that people can do. People can say whatever they want about you. But if they do not attack you, it is not government business.

  8.  @srichander2641  It is the government's job to keep you safe. It is NOT the government's job to tell them what to say to you. You are confabulating the two. If there is a credible threat upon your life, the government can tell them to not threaten you because it is a direct harassment that is likely to be enacted and endanger you. But if there is not a credible threat that they would follow through, the government cannot tell them to stop. Those weirdos in the video were saying, "We are going to balkanize India by using international law." That is not a credible threat to use violence and the government has no right to act. Whether it is hate or malignant has nothing to do with it. It has to endanger you in order to be government business. They are free to hate you for the rest of your life (and say so). That is not government business.

  9.  @srichander2641  The problem with your understanding is that . . . 1. You are blaming a person who is living in the present for a crime that someone committed in the past. 2. You are blaming some people living in Canada for a crime of someone living in India. 3. You are blaming the entire group for a crime that a subset of the group committed. 4. You are blaming the group in Canada for a crime that you suspect they may commit in the future. Yet you have no proof that they will commit a crime in the future. All 4 of those thoughts of yours are against the blaming rules. That fact is . . that group in Canada has not committed any crimes and until they both commit crimes and are convicted in a court of those crimes, the government cannot restrict their rights. We do not put all of the members of a political group in jail because of the crimes of 6 members. Each individual of the group is individually responsible for their own actions. Dumb Trudeau is allowed to make a public statement condemning any VIOLENCE of the group -- he is not allowed to take away or restrict any of their God-given rights unless they break the law. It is also a violation of Canadian law for him to do that and would be considered an illegal oppressive government crackdown on people who are expressing their viewpoint. He only has the right to condemn the what the group is saying -- he cannot stop them from saying it. That is the rights rule and the answer he gave in his speech was precisely according to standard rights rules and explaining the rights rule to the Indian population was the right thing for him to do. And he SPECIFICALLY SAID that they cannot use any violence to achieve their objective. (You did not hear that part, did you?) Now if those people take any violent action, the Canadian government is ready to support India the same way they are supporting Ukraine. (And it would not hurt for him to say that in his speech.) I am certain that you love your country. But we cannot be solving problems the same way that the communist party solves problems. We have to respect the God-given rights of all parties involved. And you need to think about: You want Canada to defend India against people who would violently break apart their country. but in a similar situation, India is not supporting Ukraine against violent people who are trying to break apart their country?!? 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ And just out of curiosity: Does India support those violent extremist Americans (and their nearly unlimited guns) balkanizing the British Empire? I am pretty sure that the British felt that the brash Americans were destroying their beloved country and were highly offended. *************** Now consider this: If a person is planning to kill you and he says, "I am going to kill you," what does that statement give you? You would be warned. It gives you an opportunity to go buy a gun and be ready for him when he shows up at your door. Doesn't it? But if the government makes it illegal for him to tell you in advance that he is coming to kill you, how does that turn out? He cannot tell you in advance that he is coming to kill you and therefore, when he shows up at your door, it is a complete surprise to you. He is now armed, but you did not know that you needed to go buy a gun. Now he has the advantage in the situation. Right? Your only chance to live is to use your words against his gun. And the government put you in that untenable position when they made a law against free speech. They did not only take away his right to free speech. The same law when it was passed, took away your right to defend your own life. These rules are well thought out by the world's brightest minds and we have them for a reason. ************** American proverb: "To be fore warned is to be fore armed."

  11. Wrong. Someone could believe you are extreme and oppose you. Extremism is someone's personal opinion and they have a right to have their opinion. They do not have a right to get violent. Mother Theresa and Ghandi were both extremists.

  12. Wrong. Freedom of expression is the right to talk good or ill about anything, anybody, anytime. People have every right to choose to be regressive, if that is their choice. They can also go live in a cave and no one can stop them.

  13. Absolutely wrong. In a democracy, any person can say ANYTHING they like. The person speaking is not creating the issue -- the other person hearing and reacting is creating the issue. They cannot use violence to get their way.

  15. Nothing wrong. But Russia cannot come in and do it to them. They have to do it for themselves through peaceful law and negotiation with the government in Kyiv.

  16. Hmmm . . . Separatist extremism? Russia is trying to break up Ukraine and the West is trying to hold Ukraine together. 🤔

  22.  @DnyanX1  "According to the American FBI 2019 Uniform Crime Report: African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3% in cases where the race was known. The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly . . . . EIGHT TIMES HIGHER . . . . than that of whites, and their victim rate was similar. In those where the both the perpetrator's and victim's races were known, 81% of white victims were killed by whites and 91% of black or AFRICAN-AMERICANS WERE KILLED BY BLACKS." Source: wikipedia

  23. As an American he said exactly the right thing. These Indians just do not think they should get their little feelings hurt by someone talking bad about them. They actually have a law that they cannot talk bad about each other's religion.

  27. Excuse me but . . . Russia invaded Ukraine without a valid reason Iran started out with America by taking 70 Americans as hostages and is continually firing rockets into Israel. China has been bullying other countries, bribing their leaders, and taking over their ports. None of the 3 mentioned countries offer freedom to their citizens and all 3 have state-owned television with which they brainwash their own citizens with propaganda. The United States has laws against racism, robbery, vandalism, and ransacking (or using your gun inappropriately). They do not have "too much freedom." They are respecting their own citizens and treating their citizens like adults. It is the personal responsibility of each citizen to act like one.

  28. That would be a theocracy and they can become very extreme in their own right. You are right. But look how many Canadians are taking the opposite viewpoint. 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️ Maybe they did not hear the speech. But heard only the words that they did not like.

  29. You are correct. In Canada and America you have law to say almost anything and you can criticize any government including your own with no restriction.

  30. Yes. We call it freedom. You would not understand.
