Yes.


Then simply consider the UK to be private property when it comes to Donald Trump. Could be pretty interesting if it ever happened though since he owns quite a lot of stuff in Scotland....

I think that what he is trying to say is that the UK is not liberal at all.

Which would be a fair assessment when you consider the fact we split from Britain because they were not liberal enough.

Britian is not liberal in the sense western Europe is liberal. Compared to america, it is very liberal.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Well that, and I've seen an infographic saying that if he'd simply invested the $1 million loan and just sat back then his personal wealth would be higher than it currently is. I've not fact checked it, but it amused me. :)

Anything actually left has been out since the 1980s.

Let's say hypothetically that he gets barred from entering the UK and he owns private property inside the UK. What exactly happens to that property?

He already owns property in the UK (golf courses), and he'd presumably get to keep and make money off them. Just not actually visit.

Can you explain a little bit? Don't understand the difference between crown property and government property? Are they both the same or different?

At the base of it, all land in the UK is owned by the Crown. You can "own" it and trade it but the government can still ban you from it without taking the "ownership" back.

Sealand also belongs to the UK ever since the national boundaries were increased to 12 miles, it just gets treated like a private residence. There is no escape from the resurrection of the empire, rule Britannia!

2) And yet amazingly they didn't ban gay marriage and I'd wager most Muslims this time around voted for the Liberals.
3) Except not all Muslims hold those beliefs.

Also since everyone in favour of this ban like going "Think about their anti-homosexuality", I do hope you're against the immigration of Koreans, Chinese, Poles, Russians, Salvadorans, Israelis, Bolivians, and the Greeks it's too close for comfort so them as well.

1. I don't recall the specifics, but it was on local TV news a few years ago and was based on the increase in Muslim population when the Liberals were in office before 2006 and Tory candidates using gay marriage as an outreach tool to Muslim constituents. Here's the closest thing I could find to an online equivalent.

EDIT: Never mind, found something closer. It mentions Asians as well, but obviously selectiveness for opinions is more meaningful than selectiveness for race.

2. Wouldn't be the first time they threw politically inconvenient allies under the bus. Or the last.

3. So is letting them in based on how they interpret the Qur'an acceptable or not? Because it's still discriminatory based on beliefs, just in a more specific way.

Besides, it's in their holy book. In ways open to less interpretation than the Bible's homophobia, though granted part of the reason we're easier on Christianity is because it's the norm. But it's just a microcosm of the broader issue of religion influencing political views, and this effect not always being favourable to the rest of us.

Those are all nationalities, by the way.



There is nothing "moral" about picking and choosing which perspectives can be heard.[/quote]
1. "Mentions Asians as well". Most of the people covered in that article were Chinese. By the logic being spewed there, we should ban Chinese people from immigrating to Canada.
2. Or maybe it's because immigrants aren't single issue voters with that issue being same-sex marriage.
3. Shit, at least, that'd be an attempt to not be stupid.

And religion will always influence politics unless you get a society as secular as that in France, religions lose tons of power, or you bring in state atheism. Gotta learn to live with that.

Yes, nationalities where most or significant amounts of the people don't approve of homosexuality. Should we ban them from moving to Canada as well?

Probably a court case and a constitutional crisis tbh.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Man, people here talking like Parliament'll approve of the ban and enact it.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Yes and no. They can't just take back ownership of it without compulsory purchase (eminent domain), but they still do have legal power over it. It's not that much different from the US. You can't murder somebody on private land in the US, nor could a person banned from the US just wander around on land they owned. The law still applies.
