There's nothing I type out online that I wouldn't say in person.
Of course I wouldn't go out in person and impose my opinions on people at random, but if I was sitting at a table with others and certain topics came up, I would participate in those topics much in the same way I would on an internet message board.


I'm quite reasonable outside of sensitive social and political issues. I live a normal married life, enjoy helping people, enjoy travelling, blah blah blah.

As I've said in the past, I moved out here for a lifestyle change. Both physically and mentally. Am I there mentally yet? Not quite... it won't happen over night. I'm naturally drawn to controversy.

Perhaps I need to participate in some of the harmless threads on CP... they just never seem as fun as the debatable ones.

Anyways... part of me feels bad that some of you have such strong opinions on me (which seems like it's on a deep personal level). It's almost not worth it. I don't want to make enemies, I just want to be able to share my opinions without having my entire character based on those opinions.
The problem this board has with you, is that you are a racist.

This board is very multicultural, and there is no place for racism here. No matter how much you try and veil it, it will come out. And thankfully, your "freedom of speech." rights do not apply on a privately owned forum.

Dude, come on.

Debate this reasonably. At least on the subject of RACE.
First, define race. Your definition is fine. That will help me understand why you, or others, think I'm racist.

Am I 'culturalist'? Yes.
Am I Xenophobic? Yes
Am I Islamaphobic? Yes

I am pro-Assimilation and pro-West.

I am not, however, Racist.
Race, by my definition, is entirely based on the Biological definition of Race. In this sense, I am not a racist.

If your definition of race spans into everything, including culture, then yes, you might have a case. However, and thankfully, most people who come to Canada to share their cultures, fully embrace Western culture as their primary value system. I want these people to immigrate here in record numbers. We need them. Our economy needs them.
It's those that come here and have no desire to even attempt to integrate that I have a problem with.

I really can't accept this point of view as me being a racist.

EDIT: Nevermind..

.. not worth it. People who see things the way you do will see them that way regardless of what I say. I'm guilty of the same mindset when my mind is made up.

You win.

So you admit that you have an irrational dislike toward cultures you don't understand. You admit to the same for the Islamic community and you subscribe to a biological definition of race, all while hiding behind Freedom of Speech.

What you miss is that our Western culture was created by settlers that came here, bringing with them there previous traditions. You idealize some specific Western Culture, so don't try and dress it up.

Anyway, back to outing return posters, don't want you to Hijack this therad.

My worst experience in Poland when I managed to get stuck on a train with people after a soccer game... Head down and avoid the drunks.

This thread should be required reading for all posters in this forum. Besides the utter hilariousness of it, it's pretty informative and showcases the sleuthing skills of several posters. Its a fun and informative thread which is makes it awesome.

Yeah, I mean if it wasn't already revealed with the cross post from beyond the whole polish soccer fan thing pretty much seals it. I have no idea about the other usernames, but he was without a doubt dj_patm. Oddly enough, I ate at a Papa John's in NYC last weekend.

Yeah, me too. I always feel like It's on the verge of being closed.

I like it too. We'd all be discussing these things in multiple threads before, now It's all self contained.

Those usernames are all known to be dj_patam. He even said under the last name (Notorious Honey Badger) that he even lost track of all the names he's had.

You're not getting it, obviously the mods know you're a returning poster and are fine with giving you another shot. Admitting to which ones you are is only going to help your reputation here. I dislike you more because you're flat out lying to our faces. Man up, have a good chuckle and try to be a good poster this time; the mods aren't that naive and neither are we.

If he's dj_patam, he's the rest because the rest of those were him too.

Polak is certainly dj_patm. Confirmed by way of cross-forum posting.

On SSP Forum upon announcement of Chinook Mall expansion plans, posted by member patm:

Quote:
This was the story I heard back when I worked in Chinook in '08-ish.

Their plan was to build something similar to South Coast Plaza in LA which is one huge mall connected to another decently sized mall by a bridge across the street. I was also told that they owned the land across Macleod but I don't know if thats true.

I don't know if I get the reason for adding in another "professional" building to the Chinook site as it would take away valuable retail area for when the mall decides to expand again. Which it will.
And from CP, posted by polak:

When I worked there I saw the early plans for the last expansion and there were a lot of big name stores that never ended up opening a store. I think they're planning to build something similar to South Coast Plaza in LA where there is a bridge that crosses the road to another building.

Story might check out. Polak/dj_patm likes to mention he's Polish, and NHB/et al went nuts defending Winnipeg:
