There are enough men out there who would seek out the same thing.<BR/><BR/>The problem isn't that the courts favoured a *woman*, the problem is that the courts have favoured the <B>abdication of personal responsibility</B>. This is a problem for *everyone*.dgnyhkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422202337336029386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-1151009116728737292006-06-22T13:45:00.000-07:002006-06-22T13:45:00.000-07:00Jay,I've never assumed that all women think exactl...Jay,<BR/><BR/>I've never assumed that all women think exactly the same way. And I know some terrific, amazing women out there who have been treated like crap by some pretty horrible men.<BR/><BR/>But when it comes to the law, I'm very much against special treatment for anyone, be they:<BR/> - Women<BR/> - Native Indians<BR/> - Muslims<BR/> - Non-muslims<BR/> - Refugee claimants<BR/> - Etc.<BR/><BR/>The official Trudeau-esque multicultural policy is a horrible concept that pits "us" vs. "them". Pulling the veil off it, it's clearly a policy designed to build allegiance to the federal Liberal party. Most everyone in that party strives to deny this but in their heart of hearts, they know it's true.<BR/><BR/>"My" Canadian Multiculturism Policy could be summed up as follows: "Treat everyone equally and fairly but recognize that everyone in Canada is first & foremost a Canadian and so the laws & traditions of this land supercede all others." And I walk my talk. Here in Vancouver I have countless friends & colleagues of every racial background. Their race, their religion, and their sex are completely irrelevant to me. As long as they act like a "mensch" they're alright in my book!Robert W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11450265399740128136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14015236.post-1151008404052316852006-06-22T13:33:00.000-07:002006-06-22T13:33:00.000-07:00You've it up very nicely.

I lost count of the number of women who say they can't find a husband. yet they can't draw the dots from rulings like this to why they can't find "a nice guy". Makes me enjoy the single life a whole lot more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
