  • I respect and honor you for providing strength, stability and protection for our well-being, generation after generation.

      You're welcome!
  • Yet collectively, as conscious women, we can apologize, make new promises and recommit to respecting and honoring you.
  • I apologize for getting impregnated by the alpha bad boy and then, knowing he will not stick around to raise his progeny, lying to a nice, reliable beta provider about his paternity in order to get him to support me.

      The "Baby Mama" phenomenon, as Blacks in Toronto call it in some circles has become a major problem. It's used by some men to ehance their sex lives and by the Mamas to collect public welfare which is excessive and will endanger legitmae welfare use while producing more & more fatherless children and their associated personal & public problems.

  • I apologize for demanding that all the developed countries of the world spend far more on cures for women’s diseases, while practically ignoring diseases that strike and kill men at higher rates.

      Well said and thanks! Most are not even aware of this issue, guys!!
  • I take responsibility for our epidemic of out of wedlock births.

      I feel men & women must take equal responsibility for present day promiscuousness and the resultant emotional, mental & psychological pain, horrors (STDs) and wounding it has produced plus the travesty of the destruction of sacred life in the womb that has also resulted in the West.
  • I apologize for forgetting all the other times throughout history that men have sacrificed their lives for women.

      No apology is needed for more often that not these have been God-inspired choices each man has made in individual circumstances with which he is confronted..
  • remaining silent regarding the common practice of circumcision

      And who says that the two practises bear any similarity whatsoever. Female Genital Mutilation is a barbaric, disgusting & outrageous cultural/religious practise. Circumcision is a medically-proven health-promoting practise, especially in our promiscuous age.
  • eroding America’s freedom by pushing socialist policies that are bankrupting this country

      Please note, John, that many of the so-called people-oriented, caring policies that you characterize as "socialistic" have NOT and are NOT bankrupting Canada. In fact, whose economic recovery is currently the strongest and fastest in the world in the summer of 2011. The U.S. problems are far more complex that you suggest using a simplistic word.
  • I apologize for contributing to a suffocating nanny state, complete with helmet laws and prohibitions on dodge ball, where everyone is a winner and has high self-esteem.

      Come on guys! There are probably just as many men as women pushy these things ...especially among guilt-ridden Gen X over-reacting to protect their kids from things that generations of parents have lived with in freedom to make their own choices.
  • I apologize to little boys for subjecting them to a feminized education experience that impedes learning, denigrates men and drives them out of higher education.
    • Gary Patton
      Gary Patton on 20 Feb 12
       
      Right on guys!
  • the long-standing practice of taking my word over one of your brothers,

      I'm equally, if not more, concerned about the fundamentalist Islamic practises that subjugate women in far worse ways around the world that both men and women are passively supporting through their political correctness towards Islam that's NEVER been extended to any other religion.
  • using that legal system to create a police state built around a self-serving domestic violence industr

      We've all allowed it and its a travesty of justice and social engineering by government & especially Judges.
  • not to confuse honoring women with denigrating men

  • It’s not Islamophobia to call a jihadist, a jihadist
  • There is no doubt that such prejudice exists. But there is no doubt, too, that cries of “Islamophobia” are issued to suffocate argument, to deflect or deter analysis of some behaviour that is factually related to Islam. There is no doubt either that some Muslims have acted as terrorists, either singly, or in association with various Islamist groups. To point this out is not a phobia, but a simple respect for reality.
  • there also have been calls suggesting that any reference to the Islamist terrorist connections of the killer would be a species of Islamophobia. This is pure nonsense and folly.

  • It is not Islamophobic to note the motives and background of the murderer. In fact, it is a form of cowardice and evasion not to do so.
  • If one decries Islamophobia, then one must condemn bin Laden as its Nile source. Bin Laden, more than any other person, has besmirched the practice and understanding of Islam and engendered suspicion of some of its adherents.
  • Horrors perpetrated in the name of fundamentalist Islam, such as attacks on young girls going to school, the internecine slaughters of various sects, the cruel penalties exacted by the Taliban’s repressive creed — stonings, amputations and executions for apostasy — also feed the angry atmosphere, and they are not phantoms of a prejudiced imagination.
  • Bin Laden’s declared purpose, his “war” on the West, and his overt linkage of his cause with a fundamentalist version of Islam, are the primary drivers of our non-phobic — which is to say, very rational — fear of, and hostility to, manifestations of Islamic fanaticism.
  • in Madrid, London or Bali — it was not Islamophobia when some immediately assumed these were al Qaeda, or Islamist-inspired. It was just a natural first response, the acknowledgement of a pattern. In most cases, that first response proved correct.
  • The too-energetic effort to fall outside the shadow of prejudice has served to distort the response of investigators. Looking for everybody else except the most “likely” suspects first, wastes time and resources.
  • Our most urgently served impulse should be to make common cause with the victims of violence — in this case, Jews

    Rex Murphy feels, and I agree that "...there is no doubt that [anti-Muslim] prejudice exists. But there is no doubt, too, that cries of "Islamophobia" are issued to suffocate argument, to deflect or deter analysis of some behaviour that is factually related to Islam." he states further and I also agree that: " There is no doubt either that some Muslims have acted as terrorists, either singly, or in association with various Islamist groups. To point this out is not a phobia, but a simple respect for reality." gfp (2012-03-12)
