  1. Past hour
  2. Define help? Do you mean the ground troops required to achieve total victory, annihilation or whatever it was that Trump had in mind?
  3. But what about using support for Israel to stick it to Libbies? What's really funny about this, as far as you're concerned, is that you're probably past the point of no return of being cancelled as one for losing faith. You can take the boy out of left field but you can't take left field out of the boy.
  4. You're right, the US committed its regional partners in the Gulf to come up with the money. Let us know how that works.
  5. Just to summarize because nuance can be lost in these pages, there is no doubt in my mind that MAID should exist for those with agonizing medical conditions like MND. That’s not a debate we need to have in Canada again. A personal nightmare of mine is to be stuck in a situation where I can’t breathe properly. Nobody should be made go through that if they don’t want to. On the psychiatric side, I fully understand the concerns and would accept if MAID did not apply to them. I certainly don’t want to see it used for young people with psychiatric conditions at all but would like to put the case for those older people who have already been through a great deal of anguish and have decided after reflection that they have no desire for more of the same.
  6. Today
  7. Eisenhower was a very long time ago. No doubt the incumbent will set a good example in this regard.
  8. robowoke is convinced that 7 billion people need Asylum in the US.
  9. Well, no, they just need to be reasonable. The whole point is to have something like the Eisenhower Presidential Library/Museum in Abilene KS. A modest place, highlighting the history around his time in office, WWII, showcasing his childhood home, the burial site of him and his wife. They have a purpose, but in recent history they have turned into some kind of perverted dick measuring contest to show how much support they have and how popular they are and to build some gross monument to themselves that is bigger and better than the last guy.
  10. No, this is a lie. They show up initially and as the cases drag on and it is clear they will be deported, about half stop showing up and then disappear illegally into the country after they have an order of deportation.
  11. What question do you want answered specifically? There are many psychiatric tests of competence which can be reviewed in the literature. Some patients will fail these tests but some will pass. What do you do with those older patients who have passed and seem to have capacity on clinical examination? Ignore their wishes? It’s not my place to draw a line. The line will change as society does. It’s a grey area and there are no absolutes. But I think there’s a place for reasonable accommodation here. Schizophrenia is a lifelong disorder to bear and at some late point in life people should be able to say enough is enough.
  12. I’ll give Trump some credit. Like Biden in Afghanistan he cut his losses and went home, but unlike his predecessors it didn’t take him decades to see that the policy was just going to get ever worse for the country.
  13. Yet again, if this were happening to us, we would not have half the restraint Israel does.
  14. Show me where that is in the agreement framework... because that is not what was reported.
  15. The line already was drawn and you want to move it, and you are not answering any of my questions to the point of why it wouldn't just keep moving any more. You are not offering a place to draw the line now that is based on any kind of substantive objective reasoning to say that is where to draw the line. That is my point. It just keeps moving.
  16. So no more presidential libraries. A ridiculous waste of money and a very bad example to set. Can we agree on that?
  17. Oh My God These people ran your country you know. It's like realizing that your taxi driver died of a heart attack a while back and wondering how the car's still on the road
  18. This IS the obama deal, but now with more free money. Like i said, doing nothing would be cheaper and just as effective
  19. I think the settled wish of a person needs to be taken seriously. At a certain point in any chronically debilitating medical condition an older patient should have the right to say enough is enough. I don’t want to encourage anybody to commit suicide and I don’t want to get too deeply into distressing personal situations here. In psychiatric cases, I know full well that relatives naturally prioritize safety for patients while patients value liberty more than family members do. At what point in a life scarred by disease should a person have the right to expect assistance in leaving it? I don’t know the answer but I don’t think it’s never.
  20. So short term stūpidity shouldn't be indulged, but long term stūpidity must be placated? That is ridiculous. My SIL suffered from depression for over a decade. She eventually committed suicide. It was hell for everyone. My brother. His girls. Her parents and siblings. The school she worked at. Suicide, regardless of the reason, is a selfish decision that hurts everyone else. We can understand why without accepting why. And we can fight like hell for every day because they are all precious. But I will be damned if I will ever support death as a better option than life. It. Just. Won't. Happen. Any government that does, to me, is a horrific nation with the worst human rights imaginable.
  21. Chemo of the traditional non-targeted sort is potentially life lengthening, although awful. People take it because there’s an overall increased chance of surviving longer. That may be an end to the cancer or an interlude before the cancer returns. That’s different from palliation.
  22. Gawd damn boy...are you really... No. Side effects, welcome or not, are not the same. That is just blatantly stùpid. Chemo will either make you cancer free or kill you. Guess which one everyone hopes for. If they die, they knew the risk. That doesn't make it the same as fúcking murdering someone and calling it medical treatment.
  23. People have to distinguish between a momentary impulse and a settled wish. If a rational person has on multiple occasions over an extended period of time expressed a desire to die, that’s quite different from a heat of the moment thought in a state of delirium.
  24. You said no one believed Iran wanted a nuke and yet Democrats spent decades saying exactly than and Obama sent them $100B to not build one. Wtf do you get off saying they didn't? AI restatement of Chuck U Schumer: In August 2015, while explaining his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal, Schumer argued that the agreement would leave Iran with a "breakout time" of just two to three months by the end of the deal's lifespan. He outlined his position on his Iran finished theoretical plans in 2003. They just about got to the point where they had the uranium that was capable of doing the job. We have stockpiles of advanced and not advanced weapons. The 3 that were used were not advanced weapons. To my knowledge, we did not use any advanced weapons. We used 90's tech with some upgraded guidance. We also have replacement plans in effect. So it isn't like we will never recover. Bullshit. No. I am saying it was ineffective because the inspectors could not visit the 3 undeclared sites and are on record of knowing about those sites and not asking to see them for fear of upsetting Iran. Even Chuck Schumer said the plan was bullshit. No one said that. The goal is to keep them from being nuclear. The methods have not been determined, but Trump has hinted it would be UN inspectors with unlimited access. I see the ridiculous ous of your strawman. No. The 3 sites we bombed were the 3 sites that the inspectors under the JCPOA could not go. No one ever said Sadam was behind 911. They could not reach that conclusion because they could not go there and prove it dip shit. What? You don't know that China was buying Iran oil on the black market? What rock did you just crawl out from? I am not the source: LONDON, June 17 (Reuters) - The oil market will move into a significant supply surplus in 2027 after recovering from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the International Energy Agency said in its monthly oil market report on Wednesday. You see, I read things and then I talk about them. You just seem to be listening to M-SNOWjob and regurgitating DNC talking points without any understanding of what is going on.
  25. One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.
  26. It boils down to the friends of the Liberals trying to siphon money off of law abiding tax payers. During Covid churches in some instances were the ones to push back. They'll use this legislation to attack dissenters. They are already using loopholes ie urban reserves to shove through vanity projects which enrich their friends. This is just one of the tools in their arsenal to make sure nobody speaks out against it. The liberals are as crooked as it gets. Yet nobody cares. They love Hitlerian tendencies. Sad
