The month of May started out well enough: people of different faiths helping one another. But cooperation was soon overshadowed by strife. It was a month of Muslim against Hindu, Hindu against Muslim, Muslim against Christian, Hindu against Christian, Christian against Muslim, and Hindu against Buddhist against Hindu. Members of one religion stomped on the religious sensitivities of another. Arsonists burned places of worship. Congress agreed with the president: religious discrimination is OK. The Vatican warned against allowing a nation of Muslims into the EU, and the EU told the Vatican to buzz off with its concept of Christian culture. Given all the fuss, more and more Canadians said, “the heck with all this hocus-pocus; let's be Jedis.” And the world awaited the first nuclear-powered religious war.

Get all the details:

I can see it now......a whole Canadian nation of Jedi warriors smoking their legalized marijuana, the rest of the world better watch out.

If i were the supreme being, I wouldn't have messed around with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers 8 o'clock day one!

No, the rest of the world should join in!

Canada seems to be one of the few bastions of sanity remaining. If everyone got good and high on primo shit and did nothing more agressive than run around waving phoney light sabers, we'd all be better off.

At least they win't go around bashing the fuck outta the rest of society.

Who can be bothered when one of your mates is on the way home with pizza and a six-pack!!!!

Maybe our world leaders should chill with a fat joint, some beer and a good ole game of football. I know all my friends and I come with with a more logical solution for the worlds problems after a scenario like above....

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
