It's Not About Freedom

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

Anyway, this is stupid. Suppressing the kids freedom of speech is questionable enough; much less taking them away.

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

Ha, they seem like americans at first, and then the PUSSSSSYYY comes out

[edwardd668]

hey gerny12345 jew is a religion not a race you retard good thing safework banned this faggot

[edwardd668]

hey gerny12345 jew is a religion not a race you retard good thing safework banned this faggot

[edwardd668]

piss on your faggot fuck muhamed and fuck canada

[chadberry75]

canada need's 2 grow up..and visit the real world..the world is a mean and nasty place....a swastika is a buddha symbol.NOT A HATE SYMBOL..dumb-azz canadian's.. fuck.

[SkinnyWmn69]

I don't think NAZISM is a valid political view. For one, this is Canada in 2011, not 1940s Germany. Our Jewish population is so small, what is the threat to these PURE white people? What pride are you trying to retain from what war? Nazism came as a result of germany horrible treatment after WW1 and the rebuilding of the military under Hitler became a source of national pride. Nazism sought to expand the motherland..we have lotsa land in Canada. Nazi isn't a political view, it simply racism

[robvollman]

That's great TV!

[aweiss]

levant rules lol you are repulsive but you have a right to be a dad

[imfriggintelling]

I love Ezra Levant. I've not seen him ever lose an argument. I search long and heard.

[MrGiles888]

I have to agree with Jonathan. It is not about politics; it is about the safety of a child. Noone cares about the political views of the parents; it is just find to be anti-islamic, but being anti-semetic can get you killed.

[MrGiles888]

Ezra is unbearable, and he is not consistent. He has recently been loudly calling an authour a bigot for suggesting that the religious community is gaining influence over the government. Although he is openly and loudly anti-islamic, he calls people bigots when they say something about religion that he disagrees with. He seems to think that only he can speak badly of religious groups.

[incedius420]

I dont like Jonathan Rosenthal views an think they represent a threat to my safety.

His kids need to be taken away from him so he wont infect them with his point of view.

[Robbie0Music0Critic]

I say, send all the CAS workers to Swastika Ontario and see what kind of reception they would receive there. Better blow-up the old Lucky Cross mine site while they're at it for good luck!

[BoredomCorner]

No, the state will only take away your kids if you're teaching them to be bigots.

It says a lot about you, when you think that that's a bad thing.

[robert7777777]

Ezra is so good. That other guy was such a jerk.

[Donkeyhawk]

I'm Jewish also, but he's right, I'd rather have their stupidity branded on them myself anyway, that way its easier to see what they are really about, that and Canada is lame as fuck anyway.

[fredzepp1]

Government-get out of the family unit in a free nation.

[PotheadPundit]

lol ezra pwns this pompous prick

[St37One]

A child is too young to know what sports team they want to support, so the parrents should be held responsible for putting thier childs welfare at risk by allowing them to wear a maple leaf symbol when there may be candians or senators fans who would try to emotionally damage those kids.

Be a responsible parrent and teach your child to support a team with stanley cup winning potential. Dont brand your kids with loser team symbols that dont have a chance in hell.

[St37One]

feminazis love women and femininity and hate men and masculinity, ecofascists love nature and despize humanity, Islamofascists love Islam and hate outsiders to their cult. Neonazis love Aryans and are offended by jews and communists. Montreal Canadians fans hate Maple leaf fans. But is the Blue Maple Leaf a universal symbol of hate?

[St37One]

This game of trying to coerce people to hide thier currently repulsive beliefs and desires only has one end. Detatchment from reality, homogenization of thought and attitude, and dependance on government. Thoughts are not like annoying odours that should be covered up with airfreshener. We should not use Orwellian talk of "hateful" or "loving" ideas.

It is worth remembering that Hitler wanted to exterminate the jews because his pet ideology was so threatened by "jewish" ideas and values.

[St37One]

Something tells me that this pathetic sheep called Jonathan would not object to a parrent allowing thier child to wear a rainbow patch as irresponsible parrenting for fear that homophobic kids would tease or bully them for being gay (which many people also find repulsive).

That probably would endanger the childs emotional well being. And on the same basis, put the child into a special brainwashing program to teach them how to be heterosexual, and that sexual orientation is a choice.

[St37One]

Its not about freedom?

its about responsible parrenting?

can you say Bullshit?

How can any symbol be reduced in its meaning to a "universal symbol of hate"?

Is that what it represents to people with a fanatical love for aryans? (you know those people that we are supposed to demonize lest we be suspected of being one of them).

What does the pentagram represent to a witch? I will just say hatred because otherwise it will end up sounding like something a witch would say, and I am a coward.

[St37One]

It should not be a crime to be repulsive or offensive. But what these social engineers know all to well, is that what people find offensive or repulsive can change in a heartbeat, and that this change can be directed by leadership.

When a repulsive minority becomes the majority the tables turn and the cleanser becomes the cleansed, the ostracizer becomes the ostracized, some people come out of the closet, and others hide thier unpopular beliefs and desires.

[Dougie14th]

Hahahahaahaha! Ezra destroyed Jonothan!

[Fighting4Families]

Children are more likely to be bullied for wearing an Islamic headdress or being placed in a CPS approved home with gay and lesbian parents. I guess there is groups of hatful jews going around beating up children in school yards. Amazing that we can look at our own childhoods and see that you would more likely be bullied for these more common issues than a swastika. Religious or political views you hold other than the mainstream is now rational to steal and traumatize children. Hide them!!!

[Fighting4Families]

This lawyer has taken his tactics directly from the child protection worker textbook. Minimize and deflect all reason and attack those opposed to their delusional views. Rosenthal has no logical arguement and like the system itself, attacks instead of debating or looking for rational. Imagine what children face in this corrupt, profit driven system. Baselines for funding increase every year and if the agencies do not meet these baselines they lose funding. It needs your children.

[goingconcern68]

As loathsome as white supremacy is (or any other fascist belief system), I have to say that I find it disturbing that a lawyer is comfortable with the idea of a government in Canada having the power to take away someone's children based on their opinions and political views.

What is more disturbing is the lawyer's utter refusal to discuss the matter in a greater context. Surely this has implications for anyone who disagrees with popular opinion.

[goingconcern68]

In all honesty, is anyone truly comfortable with the government having the power to decide whether or not you can keep your children if your opinions are deemed offensive by the Establishment?

[goingconcern68]

To be clear, I am not asking you whether or not you think this woman should be allowed to raise her kids as neo-Nazis. I am asking anyone who reads this if you are comfortable with the government having the power to approve your political views as a precondition for keeping your children. That is the un-stated implication of the lawyers argument.

Please consider how giving the government this kind of power could affect you and where this could go.

[makinawdandy6699]

Ezra is totally wrong. If you have people filling children's minds with garbage, that is okay? No way!!!

[CamAtheist]

The Swastika, the cross the Crescent and the star, whats the difference....

[zaj30]

These two have to grow up and have an adult conversation. Lay off the personal attacks.

[thecatfromthehat]

Hate speech is a term for speech intended to degrade, intimidate, or incite violence or prejudicial action[citation needed] against a person or group of people based on their race, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, language ability, ideology, social class, occupation, appearance (height, weight, hair color, etc.), mental capacity, and any other distinction that might be considered by some as a liability.

[hoomelemele]

these guys are like little boys, i almost expected one of them to say, 'well you have cooties...'

[GershonH]

Fuck Canada, it is a Police state..

[qtronman]

Couldn't the symbolism of any religion be interpreted as a 'universal symbol of hatred'?

[7beers]

Exactly. It is well documented that countless millions have been murdered throughout history in the name of Star of David.

[Aristotle100]

swastika is actually an ancient symbol that the Nazi's corrupted. This stupid asshole needs to learn his history. What if a buddhist wore the original swastika? Should we put them in prison? Lawyers are absoltely disgusting. Fuck these nanny state assholes.

[Blndrfist]

You're so right it's funny. Hindus and buddhists both wear swastika symbols at times; does that make it a symbol of hate? And also, what about a black fist symbolizing the black panthers? That certainly is an offensive and hateful symbol to some, will they enforce a rule outlawing those symbols on children in school? No fucking way. How about a christian cross or a muslim cresent moon? Any of these symbols can be construed as hateful. How do they determine what crosses the line?

[Aristotle100]

Exactly! it is all arbitrary! Hate speech can meen so many things, so can offensive speech. That is why I embrace FREEDOM OF SPEECH in its truest sense, the right to express any idea regardless of its popularity or its acceptance. Not to long ago saying blacks are equal to whites would have been unpopular "offensive speech" freedom of speech lets ideas come forward and grow; sometimes good and sometimes bad. But guess what thats freedom!

[qtronman]

JR can stick his opinions of up ugly ass.

[Chrisnoscrub047]

EZRAAAAA

[tenbarrels5]

Not only do they censor and disable my account, they erase all my comments too. Mr. Rosenthal would be thrilled by the current state of things on YouTube, where CPS agents troll and flag videos and get user accounts banned for exposing the truth about these child-trafficking kidnappers.

[Australianawareness]

Go EZRA! thank you for trying to protect our freedoms

[GoddessCherryBomb]

Interesting to see the Canadian's answer to Fox News. For anyone who might have got this twisted, the man on the left is 100% correct. The lawyer is full of crap and so is the news anchor.

[childrescuer]

It is the Liberals who are the most evil. They beleive homosexuals right's trump the rights of children and parents. Vote Conservative.

[realzoomy]

I was admonished by the secret family court for telling my son that he had the right to be heard in the secret family court. They were trying to force him to visit a rapist! THis went on for 7 years. My son didn't want to go and they kept saying that he had to.

I was told off in court (in front of the rapist!!!) that I had told my son too much about the court case.

The rapist apologised for what he did to me in court. The judge told me to forgive and forget - or else!

I am a Christian.

[Tarchomraicer]

oh, I see at the end of the video it WAS the child who drew the swaztika and not the parents. But he / she was still subjected to the equivalent of the death penalty - ripped from his / her family, brutally. Good work, CPS, you really care about the children.

[Danalegs36]

Ok I copied the videos elsewhere so they can't wipe it out totally.

[wtfcares001]

So next now if you send your child with a christian cross necklace and say a muslim takes offence because he has been taught that christians are killing muslims over in Iran then he can have that child taken away. It's just another excuse for CPS to steal children from loving parents and destroying familys. The child right away loses the feeling of being protected from harm because his parents can't protect them from the States whose only desire is from making money from destroying familys.

[Tarchomraicer]

CPS couldn't give a shit about children - if they really cared about children they wouldn't take them from good parents and put them with abusive pedophiles and murderers. Children in the USA have AT LEAST a five times greater chance of being abused / murdered in a foster home than they do with their parents (and it's probably MUCH higher than that, because CPS fudges the stats to make themselves / foster homes look good.)

[neptuneey]

It's getting ridiculous now. Come on please.

How much longer will our children have to suffer.

[Tarchomraicer]

What happens if the child gets beaten because other kids don't like his political views? Gee, let's take all the kids away who don't have views that other kids agree with!!! Good logic there Rosenthal.

[Tarchomraicer]

Yeah, let's take Rosenthal away - I don't like his views. Anyone want to be his foster parent?

[Tarchomraicer]

Time to get involved parents - the State wants your children and they'll use any excuse to take them away. That's their job, and they need to justify their existence.

How ironic that CPS would take children away because they had the Nazi symbol - how Nazi-like that act is - taking a child from a parent because they have a symbol on them.

[sushicotto]

Those who would rather have the state, rather than a parent, decide what is best for a child to learn don't realize how corrupt governments are.

[robert7777777]

The left cannot take criticism. Rosenthal should have known not to personally attack Ezra.

[KafkaCrow]

As one of "the left" I don't believe that you should draw swastikas onto a child's body, whether it's your child or not. What choice does the child have in it, really? Just because it's your kid doesn't mean you can do whatever you like with them. Then again, I generally agree with this Ezra chap.

[robert7777777]

I somewhat agree. No doubt the parents are crazy and it's unfortionate that people like this are even breeding. I don't feel sorry for them, nor do I like them. But they still shouldn't have their children taken away for merely drawing a swastica.

[Tarchomraicer]

How many times as a teenager or even as a child did you or your friends do something that could have been construed as this swaztika pen drawing was construed? All kinds of teenagers I knew drew things just to be obnoxious - they didn't even believe them. Who knows what these neo-Nazi parents really believe, and who cares??? CPS is the most Nazi-like organization on the face of this earth - they should be happy that kids have THEIR CPS SYMBOL on them.

[Tarchomraicer]

Who knows if the parent drew the swaztika on them - maybe the kid saw it somewhere and drew it, but even if the parent drew it, does that mean the parents and child deserve what a supreme court judge termed the equivalent of a death sentence (i.e., ripping the child from his / her family and vice versa). Come on!

[robert7777777]

Go back to your cave, moron.

[peakyone]

Mr. Levant is my hero. What a great speaker.

[sushicotto]

What if the parent sends their kid in public with a Star of David, a current symbol of hate, would that be forbidden too?

[Thunderwavia]

I think the term "sushicotto" is a current symbol of hate.

[bbpro]

Well said!

[robert7777777]

Doy, ur sew smartt. moron.

[TheToltec]

Wow

[jimmyphack]

its the dammed left wings they love the government running their lives.

[safework]

you're gone as well...

[gerny12345]

The pompous - and clearly strange - Toronto lawyer has the backing of pompous and powerful Jewish political organizations which are hell bent on taking away our freedom. Do White people accept without question the fact that Jews are the only people in this discussion? Jews hate the ancient symbol of the Sun; Jews hate the White man.

[safework]

Dude, take your "anti-Jew" crap elsewhere. The lawyer in question happens to appear to have the backing of a few pin-heads who also happen to be Jewish. Ezra Levant, the proponent of free thought and expression in the video, is also Jewish. Imagine that...

If you leave any more comments like that here gerney12345, and I'm going to delete them and then block you from commenting any further. This is your first and last warning.

[gerny12345]

Very Jewey of you Safework; typical Jew censorship.

Free speech, not Jew suppression.

[safework]

You were warned...

[Quentinsama]

where did he get 12 million murdered people. History books say 6 million.

By the way that pompous Toronto lawyer doesn't know what a Swastika is. A swastika is a Germanic Rune. Hitler turned it around which is not a real swastika anymore.

[madaxe606]

The lawyer from Toronto is exactly the kind of sanctimonious, self-assured idealogue that carried out the atrocities he's accusing others of. Ideology trumps logic or liberty - scary.

[rechill]

Disgusting. WHY are people so quick to throw liberty out the window. Freedom and liberty It has become dirty words. This is sad. It won't be long before the U.S.S.A. is doing the same thing. Hopefully my fellow Americans will rise up against assaults on our freedom and liberty... yeah right. Like we rose up against the Patriot Act, wiretapping, etc. No, we're doomed.

[daysin1234]

This is how Canada and most western nations are, In the video at the end there is text saying how White Supremacy is a socio-political theory like Multiculturalism however as the video points out it isnt "in line" with the current political correct ways. You'll see, Today its this BS and tomorrow you'll be arrested with thought crime with no trial (almost like ernst zundel)

[AlturaCt]

the parents should be locked up and be forced to take counseling until they learn that swastikas belong in museums and collector cases, not on children.

FU and the horse you rode in on. You marxist POS!

[safework]

Ok, well, to begin with, it seems that you've confused "freedom" with "marxism". Marx approved of persecuting the fascists for their socio-political ideals. I do not... I believe that people are free to think what they want and that they should be able to express their thoughts, within their means, without committing or inciting violence upon others.

That's how free men in a country of free men are supposed to think. Do you not live in a country of free men?

[madaxe606]

Its not a crime to hold an opinion, no matter how odious or offensive.

Are you going to apply that methodology to every parent who holds a social, political or religious views that is deemed offensive or odious to the State? Take away the kids of Islamist parents? Black-power parents? Parents who feed their kids trans-fats?

Who's going to make the determination of what is or isn't approved? You? The State?

[h00sha]

the parents should be locked up and be forced to take counseling until they learn that swastikas belong in museums and collector cases, not on children.

[Zorn101]

What if it all was a big mistake and they are Buddhist. To Buddhist the swastika is a symbol of good fortune, luck and well being.

[CASCorruption]

Wow... at 22 years old you are so aware...

You better look around you my friend. Research child welfare in Flordia... 3000 children missing from care... pedophile rings in the agency and government.

Don't be afraid of reality... research it...

There is a multi billion dollar industry sustaining itself on innocent children and their families.

The winner is the corporate child protection machine and the losers are the children.

[USADAVIS145]

The ugly side/price of socialism that liberals are so quick to brush off is fianlly exposed. Government control of your family and household is not worth any price of comfort. Thank God I live in the USA where the government will not harm you or your family for political reasons even if you are a vile polygamist. Capitalism/Free market govenrments are harsh with little state benefits, but at least you are free. Those guys really need to watch the personal attacks during debate.

[pwg357]

USADAVIS145

"Thank God I live in the USA where the government will not harm you or your family for political reasons even if you are a vile polygamist"

Uhhhhh... were you being sarcastic with that remark? I hope so.

If not please pay better attention to what is happening in our country.

[FergusBreen]

Thank you Ezra

[Zorn101]

in·doc·tri·nate

1. to instruct in a doctrine, principle, ideology, etc., esp. to imbue with a specific partisan or biased belief or point of view.

2. to teach or inculcate.

3. to imbue with learning.

Every Human being on this Planet has been indoctrinated in some way or another, In both good and bad. Judgment forces your indoctrination on another. Peace can never be accomplished through force.

[safework]

In Canada, you're not allowed to indoctrinate unless your point of view is approved...

[PatriotMusicMatt]

Rosenthal's views are typical of socialist views... of all forms of collectivism; straight out of Germany's National Socialism that worked out so well for them seventy years ago.

If you really want to eliminate the indocrinizing of children, disband "publik edukation".

[sealhunta]

it's not about punishing parents, it is about protecting children from the indoctrination

[safework]

Who decides what's "indoctrination?

[Zorn101]

Any time we teach some one something. Thats what the dictonery term of indoctrinate is.

[sealhunta]

well if ur a dumb parent, why should your children suffer by having to put up with ur indoctrination

canada is too sophisticated, we help our children escape

[safework]

Who decides who's a "dumb parent"?

What are our children "escaping" from?

[Zorn101]

Im sure the parents dident handle the matter in the most educated manner. They are entitled to there beliefs. But if you go to another country where the belief structure is different, and try to proselytize your beliefs you are liable to get jacked up.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something." ~Plato

[Pankukas]

Ezra Levant is good at getting pompous "liberal" fascists all wound up and starting to show their true colors.

[bbpro]

Exactly.

By the way, how many people have died in the name of religion? Should we ban parents from teaching their children religion altogether?

[sealhunta]

YES WE SHOULD LOL

indoctrinating children is called child abuse

[LeftTurnArrow]

Issue does not fit in with conservative views either and don't think that Ezra fits in with that side even though he calls himself right wing. Both sides limit the speech.

[Xakryn]

I see canada is now being infected with American style false Dichotomy. Thats right, fill your head up with this nonsense and ignore the fact that your country is being sold to americans piece by piece. It was bound to happen, canadians like blissful ignorance to be the cornerstone of the politicial agenda.

[safework]

Ok, I get it... Americans are bad... Freedom of speech and thought are bad because they're American "concepts"...

Any chance you'll address the issue at hand Xakryn? Children are being removed from their homes because of the political values of their parents. Is that appropriate? Answer honestly... I'd like to know how you really feel...

[Xakryn]

Well I don't really know, because its a "rare case". The fear of people with power is one of the only rational fears in the world at this time. I guess I agree that although this is an unfortunate thing, allowing a new law or anything like this could allow people in power to make sweeping generalizations about what people can an can't teach their kids. I think religion is bad for your brain and shouldn't be taught until your 18, but I mean, I don't have the right to force that on others, no?

[Xakryn]

can and can't teach their kids is a bad thing *** oops didn't finish my sentence.

Also I should amend my first statement to American media false dichotomy, not just American.

[safework]

Ok, fair enough... You don't know whether it's appropriate or not... Then why the initial comment?

[bbpro]

I agree that a lot of things in the Canadian media are meant to distract the masses, much like the US media, but I think this is actually the type of issue Canadians should pay attention to, or else our freedoms will be eroded piece-by-piece.

[Epic878787]

Canadian political TV is getting better.

[Onanation]

Ezra's a legend.

[Fistandell]

Heil Jonathan Rosenthal and his followers of facist liberal child abductors.

It appears Jonathan just out nazi'd the nazi.

"it's not about freedom"

You bet it's not Fueher Rosenthal. It's about state control that is the facist social economic agenda dominating this country as well as others right now.

[Fistandell]

Wearing a cross or a muslim head dress may be putting your children in danger...

How about circumcision... is this not physical abuse... Has this been state approved?

What about the gay or lesbian couple who adopt a child. It may endanger the child.

[CetraTJ]

this seems pretty cut and dry and has zero to do with politics. if the parents' personal beliefs encourage the kid to take a gun to school, the system would step in. spreading hate aint a far cry from spreading violence.

oh yeah, and fuck the nazis!!

[Kutsenbernz]

Yeah, right, fuck the nazis -- now that they're dead.

"It has nothing to do with politics" Okay, would you then advocate that a Sikh child in a parade who wields an image of the mastermind behind the Air India Bombings, which killed 300 Canadians, should also be removed from the parents who gave him this public symbol of mass murder? There's more advocacy and imminent threat in that than there is in some loser's little nazi symbol.

The nazi bullshit is getting really, really old.

[hassleoffa]

CetraTJ ... so a child that wears a Jewish Yamika. His parents are putting that child in danger because there may be Palestinian children around that wish to do you harm. So when are we rounding up the Jewish kids? The best thing that can happen to that child when he goes to school with a swastika if for children of other races and religions to befriend him. To SHOW him in real terms that different doesn't mean bad.

What if I'm an atheist? Are you going to take my kids away?

[bbpro]

Excellent comment!

[originalblend]

Its ironic that the ones wanting to take the kids away are behaving like the fascists.

[JPineda84]

Ok, no more Moa, Lenin and Che Guevara, there goes 50% of University attire.

[c6gunner]

Well done Ezra!

[WATITDOO16]

This video is too biased. Ezra repeatedly called the lawyer, pompous, arrogant and a nanny at one point yet the creator of the video states it was the lawyer who was making personal attacks. Socio-political ideologies are bred out of hatred of another race or class and history repeatedly shows that, so what is wrong with making it illegal to teach kids how to hate? Ideologies are meant to present ideals for the betterment of mankind, the socio-political ideology of nazism had destroyed mankind

[safework]

Biased? How so? It was a clip of a nationally broadcast news program. Rosenthol's words weren't altered or parsed or taken out of context.

[7beers]

You have a point, but the lawyer's opening remarks, that he hopes that Ezra doesn't have kids, that he hopes his wife was watching, that Ezra should get counselling, were disgusting.

[forgetfulmuse]

The swastika is not a "universal emblem of hatred" at all - in many cultures before and after the Nazis debased it, it was a symbol of good fortune, so Rosenthal is mistaken on that point. He deserved to be called a "pompous windbag" (lmao!) after that ridiculous personal attack. What a tool.

As usual, Ezra came out on top. He had the better shirt too.

[redcollargedeon]

All minors who wear Che Guevara t-shirts or Tony Montana t-shirts should be relocated, reeducted or jailed, right? Because communism and gangsterism are also "bad values for our children".

I say let's fight crime. Thought-crimes shouldn't be prosecuted.

[LoveLiftedMeTV]

There is no obligation on the part of a Canadian citizen to hold the values enshrined in the Charter. A Canadian is free to disagree with and disapprove of any or all parts of the Charter. Otherwise, it is not a Charter of freedom, it is a Charter of enslavement. And that is exactly how, apparently, posters to this site view it.

[subfusc8]

We need more Levants in Canada.

[bbpro]

Yes we do!

[ponyboy316]

The political ideology goes against the primary rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. White supremecy goes against the notion that we are all created equal. White Supremecy says you are better than others because of your color. Any parent that chooses and ideology over their child makes their own choice on that. Remember, they are not YOUT kids. You're just taking care of them. Nobody asks to be born.

[Kutsenbernz]

Islam, for one, and many other faiths teach their kids that they are better because of their faith. Would you support removing a child from a Muslim home because of this, ponyboy? Would you support sending some lefty-fem government worker to the door to inform these people that their views on Jews, for example, obviate their right to have children?

As Ezra said, the state should not decide which particular political views entitle one to have children.

[safework]

"Remember, they are not YOUT kids. You're just taking care of them."

And just who's kids are they? Who am I taking care of them for? The government?

[bbpro]

Yes they ARE your children and you can teach them whatever the hell you want.

[ponyboy316]

An inhuman and hateful person's belief their child is their property is an abuse of civil rights as well. Especially when the beliefs being taught to the child by the parent go against Canadian civil rights.

[7beers]

So if a person utters the word "nigger", "dago", "kike" or anything like that, should their kids be taken away?

[ponyboy316]

Your kids aren't your kids. They are their own people and should not be pressured under their parents to elarn things unbecomng of a human being. Tell you what, you tell me what has been determined as unapproved and then we can have a debate.

[bbpro]

So should parents be able to teach their children religion? After all, a lot of people have been murdered in the name of religion.

[bbpro]

So by this logic, parents shouldn't have the right to teach their children religion?

[Donninator1]

parents should have that right.

[7beers]

When you say "your kids aren't your kids", I think the whole issue rests on this question: are your kids your kids? You have said "no". Ezra has clearly said "yes".
