You can't reason with people like that.  The best you can hope for is that someday they will be working with some NGO when they discover that, no, people can't just get a long.  After some military folks have risked their lives to save her sorry butt, then maybe, just maybe she will realize that there are a lot of bad people out there, but we're not them.
Sure, apes read Nietzsche.  They just don't understand it.

" I need a volunteer to fill in a PA position at CFRC Sudbury"...

The only thing that would make me do that is if "FOB Doc" Ray Wiss offered me a job at the ED there...and then they'd still be looking for a volunteer  ;D

I sincerely hope no NGO would work with a crackpot like her  :-\

I work part-time at the Canex Expressmart in Edmonton, which is right across the street from a Timmies.
A regular customer comes into work, steps up to the counter.

Him:  I would like a large triple, triple, please!
Me:  Ummmm....(with a big smile) I think you're at the wrong place.
Him: OMG, I can't believe I just did that! F**k
Me: LOL

Made my night, still laugh when I think about it.  :D

Caffeine OD made me kill wife

Man says excessive caffeine from sodas, energy drinks, diet pills rendered him temporarily insane

A Kentucky man accused of strangling his wife is poised to claim that excessive caffeine from sodas, energy drinks and diet pills left him so mentally unstable he couldn't have knowingly killed her, his lawyer has notified a court.

The murder trial of Woody Will Smith, 33, was scheduled to start Monday in Newport, Ky., in connection with the May 2009 death of Amanda Hornsby-Smith, 28.

Defence lawyer Shannon Sexton filed notice with the court of plans to argue his client ingested so much caffeine in the days leading up to the killing that it rendered him temporarily insane — unable even to form the intent of committing a crime.

Three cups of coffee is an overdose?  Somebody get me to a hospital!!    :o

I only feel like strangling people when I haven't had coffee......    ::)

And of course who's he going to blame for ingesting too much caffiene in the first place?  I'm willing to bet there'll be a law suit against some coffee chain or soda chain or all of the above similar to those against tobacco firms.

So many stupid people, not enough ammo...

Not today, but a few weeks ago.  It was supposed to be a pep talk (paraphrased).

Everyone wants to be an infanteer.  408 squadron pilots, MPs, Service Battalion, Field Amb.  They all want to be infanteers.  They envy you.
Who says it's the right thing to leave? Right to let them kill women for being raped? Right to allow girls to be baby producing facilities with no hope for education? Right to allow millions of children go unvaccinated against simple curable things like polio? There are good things we are doing, but we should just give up, because you think it is right we should come home... so we can come back and do it all over again in 20 years instead of staying now to fix the problem today, not later.

Wouldn't that comment be better placed in the Canadians and Distorted Reality thread? :whistle:

Aaaahahahaha. That's gold.

Funny how the free market places so much more value on engineers than political scientists, eh? One might argue that most engineers are simply more in touch with objective reality, and consequently better suited to thrive in the real world.

Political science is a fascinating field, but few within it will ever contribute anything of any significance or novelty. Most will spend their careers wrangling over minor details, contest definitions and attempting to draw out snippits of causality out of masses of correllation. Engineers make things, and at the bar at night get served beer and french fries by political science graduates.
