By that logic, ought we not view smoking cannabis with a more open mind? That's B.C. tradition, is it not?  |
tell you what. Once BC gets 200 years of open, public cannabis traditions, then we can talk.

In all fairness, I would imagine people in that area were smoking up well before there were laws against it.
Well before they were white.

No, it really doesn't. He was making a broad statement in defense of cultural traditions. You lumped all cultural traditions in as being bad without any sort of qualification.
We've had liberal democracy in Canada for over 400 years stemming from the twin traditions of British liberty and French equality. Is that as bad as the burqa?

Alberta hasn't had 200 years of rodeo tradition. Why such a long time for cannabis tradition? That's unfair.
The question is rhetorical, though. I'm just poking fun.

Running an anti-stampede ad from a Vancouver organization in Calgary? I can't think of a better way to make sure your message is ignored.

I was replying to the trophy hunter getting mauled, yup that's freaking hilarious. Karma is a bitch. Not a vegan what so ever.

How is one funny and one is not? Either way a dude is getting mauled. So if a hunter getting mauled is funny, that makes someone who works at Safeway as a meat cutter falling into the slicer just as funny? What if a regular hunter is just out for a hike one day without his gun and gets mauled, is that a tragedy because he was hiking, or funny because he hunts?

Exactly. Its horrible when cows and chickens maul a hunter.

Trophy hunters are the worst. They deserve to be mauled.
Does a safeway butcher cut up a 1,000 pound Grizzly?

Anyone that hunts for sport and gets mauled = funny as long as the animal isn't tracked down later and killed.
Also, drunks that enter the zoo after hours and go play with the tigers is very funny.

We've had 200+ years or ranching tradition, which is where the rodeo tradition stems from.

What if the hunter eats the animal after? All the hunters I know actually eat the deer and duck meat that they hunt. Would that still be considered cruel? Considering what happens to cows and pigs in a slaughterhouse, I find your views of hunters hypocritical unless you're a vegan.

you're an idiot.
I never said that because something is traditional, it should be maintained, or that all traditions are worthy traditions. I specifically chose my words to avoid making an absolute statement.
What you did was prove my point exactly. Because some elements of society are terrified of the word "traditional" they try to dismiss each and every tradition with ridiculous stereotypes and extreme examples.
Certain traditions have value. To Calgarians and southern Alberta, the Stampede and rodeo are one such tradition that sets out the identity of the city and region. It is based on efforts used to settle the land and region and is embraced by the corporate and personal culture of the city. This is a tradition that has value.

I think he means the guys that hunt just to put a bear head over their bed, as oposed to the guys that hunt because they enjoy Peking Duck...
