Hello.

After a long time reading the canadian general newsgroups, I have come
to the following conclusions:

1. Being a man in Canada, I had no idea there were so many
   ignorant men in this country. I'm no big fan of Barbera
   Amero's posts either, but c'mon...making rape jokes and
   downplaying some of our country's biggest tragedies for
   the sake of flaming? What a childish and insecure way
   to get kicks. Anyone who thinks rape and the murder of
   women is worthy of joking has obviously never had a wife,
   sister, or mother who has suffered at the hands of a man
   with a violent streak. Don't bother replying with "women
   are just as violent", because it simply isn't true.

2. Anti-Abortionists and Pro-Choice advocates will NEVER
   get each other to see the other way. These 1,000-post
   threads are becoming redundant and boring. Arguing
   whether a fetus is human or not for weeks may be self
   satisfying, but I cannot for the life of me find the
   point. Either you believe in a woman's freedom to
   abort, or you don't. Cramming ideas down peoples'
   throats rarely gets the desired result.

3. The Reverend Donald Spitz is a fucking psychopath who
   needs a bit of a reality check. I think everyone can
   agree on that. I've begun ignoring his posts, and I
   suggest others do the same.

4. Too many people have too much time on their hands.
   After sorting through the zillions of posts from
   Barbera Amero and her many foes, I realized that
   they must spend hours per day researching and posting
   this stuff. I suggest that if someone feels as
   strongly as they seem to about these issues, aren't
   there better ways to help "your side"? Instead of
   spending 4 hours in front of the computer picking
   out other peoples' spelling and gramatical errors,
   why not go spend 4 hours volunteering in a position
   that actually furthers your cause? I like Usenet as
   much as anyone, but I also believe that arguing over
   statistics and flaming people in newsgroups does
   absolutely NOTHING to further the credibility of
   what you believe in. Revolution ain't gonna happen
   over the internet, people.
