Nobody is worse than R10 when it comes to insults, or as unhinged in general.

Gosh if only he had googled an internet dictionary to look up the word “sedition”, he’d be a free man. According to one uneducated user on this site that’s all he would have needed to win his case.

Seditious Conspirator Stewart Rhodes has been handed an 18 year prison sentence for his role in the January 6 Capitol attack. The judge told him: “You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the Republic and the very fabric of our democracy.” Prosecutors had asked for a 25 year sentence, stating that Rhodes had been calling for attacks against the government for over ten years. Despite his conviction, Rhodes gave an interview just four days ago, stating that the government was “coming after those on the political right.” “It’s not going to stop until it’s stopped,” Mr. Rhodes said during the interview, adding that the country needed “regime change.” (Not the brightest thing for him to say four days before his sentencing hearing).

Our society has transformed from manufacturing to information, making a college education a critical pathway to the middle and upper-middle class. And at the heart of the conflict are those who either lack the mental capacity or who lacked the motivation and drive to go to college, and they now resent all things intellectual: They reject climate change because it comes from scientists. They reject vaccines because it comes from medical experts. They embrace myth-spewing religious leaders and political leaders who reinforce their foolishness. They embrace racism because their whiteness is the only thing about them which makes them feel better about themselves.

Twitter wants to talk about the sexy boots of M&MS. We pay politicians to manage the things they are in charge of. They shouldn't only act reactively after public pressure, they should do their jobs.

Big surprise. Well, anyway she gets to decide what is proper to teach children, parents' rights and all that. If I want my high school kid to know about the holocaust she's going to veto that. And let's all remember that flying a rainbow flag is divisive (CdnFox) and no none should interfere with the right to express an opinion (Myata) also Woke is the SAME IDEOLOGY AS NAZIISM (reason10) and Canada's Woke Supreme Court says Free Speech isn't important (I am Groot) Let's put our priorities straight: students should not be exposed to poems that invoke the memory of slavery, and we have Nazi anti-semites in place keeping their eyes out for woke Thought Criminals and their artifacts that can be erased from public consciousness.

This proletarian lump has actually highlighted the problem: dealing with "the" public who is consumed with cartoonish conspiracies like WEF takes cycles away from talking about actual issues.

Well, individual municipalities actually do recruiting in some quarters. Planning for all of these things isn't that difficult but if "the" public glazes over when they're given 15-year warnings (!) of things, and instead puts pressure on their politicians to deal with identity politics (and I'm condemning all sides on that) then we are to blame.

Huh...you really are a twit...aren't you.

Right...because there were so many of those. That's why we have a problem right now...that existed long before COVID, but nevermind that. Let's make it PARTISAN.

I know I shouldn’t respond to him. He is unhinged, the rhetoric in every post of his is dialled up to 11 on scale of 1 to 10, and he starts way too many threads. Clearly he binges on right wing articles and tv and then rage-posts his reaction in realtime here. He’s the one who should have called himself Deluge. I avoided him for a while but if you walk in the grass often enough, eventually you’ll step in dogshit. Gonna go the ignore route on this guy I think.

Imaginary victims are getting real people cancelled for questioning dominant narratives that are radically left-wing.

The thing is one 'name calling' is not attacking an individual and doesnt cause reputational harm to a person. The other one is. It's not a good decision. It's one thing to say 'i feel that trans people tend to be (derrogatory)." its also one thing to say "i feel that people who think trans people are (Derogatory) tend to be (derogatory). But when you say John Smith of 1234 anywhere ave is a racist bigot and we should all hate him... Well that's another thing. And this kind of decision will cause hatred to build up and that is going to boil over somewhere, i dont' care what the law says. You can't say that only trans people or those 'defending' them have rights and other people don't, or sooner or later the 'ohter people' lose respect for the law and start seeking their remedies outside it. And then the news papers are full of "where is this trans hatred and violence coming from!" (picture of man scratching his head).

Do a little research and find out how long indigenous have been removed form families and sent to residential schools and why. Then your questions will be answered.

Doubt it. The church and its clergy have been intolerant pricks for a lot longer than they've been sensitive and caring. In my mother's time, you could hear a gentle sermon from one church and thundering denunciations and threats of eternal damnation in another. Depends on the mindset of the priest.

Guardian Just because we're in a purportedly free country an opinion like this can be expressed. There's no prejudice against trans people. One may not even know or want to know these details. One is free to identify themselves to a specific gender. One has the right to be safe and to express their identification free of fear, harassment and such. This is clear. One can ask their friends and people they know to identify them as they wish. This is a request, not a right or privilege. One cannot force their view of the world upon others. There's no obligation of the others to accept another individual's view of the world. None. Does not exist. Period. A has the right to say: "xyw". This is not the same as making everybody around say it. No, not the same thing. Why couldn't you figure it out? Specifically it cannot exist where it contradicts objective facts of reality, as in the example. The fact of individual identification does not change physical reality. Maybe this is where the line lies. One can feel and identify. One has the right to be safe. One can ask. One cannot force others to accept their views. As happened so many times in the history of humankind, we just cannot stop. The fight for the right of recognition and safety has come over the top and became the drive to force one particular view on the others. The "right" view, to the exclusion, and suppression of all other views, shutting down opinions and debate. At this point it's left the territory of the right, the oppressed becoming the oppressors. And entrenched, lazy and incompetent bloated governments looking for causes celebre to hide their uselessness and incompetence.

no doubt he calls Army Guy a "coward" Army Guy, who went three times to Afghanistan outside the wire, in harms way, with the rifle company, troops in contact, taking fire

This I believe is where things get complicated. There's a balancing act between an individual's reputation and the right to free speech. Saying someone is 'bigoted' 'hateful' can be seen as honest opinion or fair comment. How can someone prove they're not bigoted? The acts by the B.C. and Ontario governments were designed to enable the courts an easy way to throw out frivolous lawsuits that were intended to limit free speech. The Supreme Court is bound to those acts (laws). Opinion is usually considered not to be defamatory unless it can be proven it's done with malicious intent. Let's also not forget who started the whole charade and launched the lawsuit.

Rooms do not pass or fail, they're rooms. Come out and say what it is - staffing shortages are the problem. If there's no beds, they can't move you out of the Emergency, can they? If there's only so many ER staff they can't serve you faster, can they?

There's nothing to deflect. lol

Most highly socialist countries have land, clouds and cuckoo's

You gave your opinion in detail but it doesn't amount to shit. You're not worth considering. Go back to Portland and try to revive CHOP.

You don't get it. You don't have any points. You lead off with a dumbass example like the one in your last post, and it gets everything dismissed. You have nothing of value to bring to this conversation.

You completely deflected from all my points because you know I'm correct. Capitalism essentially creates an oligarchy where the 1% have much greater control of the government than the rest of us. If we want more freedom and power for the workers, we need to reduce the enormous economic inequality that we now have.

You don't even know what Dixiecrat was, do you.

I think this about covers it: Critical race theory (CRT) is a radical ideology asserting that races can be put into different categories: That white people are the opressor and black people and minorities are the opressed. Critical race theory is Postmodernist that pins races against each other. Critical race theory also asserts that America was founded on racism and slavery, as well as that any attempt to end racism in America, such as Brown vs. Board, is just an attempt to maintain White supremacy. Many parents have rightfully protested against critical race theory being taught in public schools. Critical race theory rejects the core teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, that people should be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.[2] Critical race theory teaches that white people, white society, and white culture is inherently and irredeemably racist.[3] Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute says CRT “isn’t an exercise in promoting racial sensitivity or understanding history. It’s a radical ideology that seeks to use race as a means of moral, social and political revolution.

Every non-English speaking country in NATO also operates in English. Your claim of greatness is actually completely mundane.

These problems are not insurmountable and given the McLeans article came out 15 years ago, well.... it's hard for me to not blame the public here.

Fire them out? Who? When? How many? What excuse? When? By who? Who? When? How many? What excuse? When? By who? Proof????

A persona belief is not a ground for anything. Some believe in UFO, others in alien lizard monsters. A belief that anyone said anything has no merit of its own. The cases of hateful speech are defined in the criminal code. Other than that, in a free society, a citizen can express their opinion on any matter without any fear or restriction. In contrast, this can be a personal attack, insult and all the way up to destruction or reputation and personal, individual damage depending on exact circumstances. In a normal society obviously can be a valid cause for a defamation suit. No you can't accuse a specific individual in a potentially harmful way because you happened to "believe" they said something wrong. The society could descend into a chaos of mutual insults if it was the case (to which state the decision seems to be paving the way). Ask yourself: why did he have to do that? He could show flaws in the argument or belief without resorting to personal attacks. That was a choice, an individual made it and so shouldn't they carry responsibility for the act if it caused real harm to another individual? Exactly. It undermines the perception of justice system as a whole. The folks don't seem to realize that the status as the country's top justices is determined not by the chair, robe or position but by the quality of decisions that have to be explainable to a regular citizen. So how can you explain that Joe cannot libel while Jack please have your way because we here decided that it should make sense from now on?

Now I know you're lying. You regurgitate talking points, then name call based on political alignment, vs merit of your argument.

Succinctly and accurately put.

That's it, I'm convinced you're just a troll now.

Oh..... So your a masochist.... Thank goodness.... Now I know it's your "pleasure" I'll keep feeding the kitty without remorse. Ok Fredo...

https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/canadas-doctor-shortage-worsening Here's an article from 2008 for reference.

You mean before I give up on offering you the privilege of replying to your profoundly stupid posts? I don't know. I mean, I'm used to dealing with children and intellectually stunted adults like yourself, but even I have my limits. So, we'll see!

I can't speak for Michael, but having grown up in a very Church-oriented family (grandfather was a Minister), I'd say you're a bad Christian. A good Christian spreads the Good Word, rather than wasting all of his time being angry and telling everyone how bad they are. If the early missionaries were anything like you, the world would still be pagan.

Keep in mind that unless you are one of these suckers who buys a pet insurance policy, you're paying out of pocket for the doctor's care for your cat or dog. I told my wife over a year ago that, after I had to take our loveable old Maine Coon Cat to the vet for the last time that I didn't want to have any more pets! I have always loved cats and dogs. But, providing proper care (like after the vet finds something wrong with them during a checkup) is just too much money, and too stressful for the animals also. I noticed while looking at a few pictures in an album of our old dog- Toby, that I could tell even by the pictures that he was in pain and unhapppy in the last two years of his life....he had arthritis in three legs, and later cancer - was the final straw! All four of our cats and dogs lived long...usually healthy lives, but unfortunatelly both cats and dogs have much shorter life cycles than humans do. So, at 66 and retired, I have lots of time for pets, but don't want to watch them aging out and dying at a time in life when we'll be going through the same thing. *it's a shame that access to euthanasia for us is so limited and mired with red tape and pointless rules! Most people don't seem to enjoy being alive either, when they are old and sick! It's fine when you are still young and healthy enough...even now at 66, I don't feel the aches and pains a lot of people my age complain about...as for my wife...well, that's another story! If I find myself at a stage in life where I'm suffering from chronic pain, and I know it will never go away, and I can't enjoy doing the things I do now....I may join some campaign for euthanasia, so that I can just go in, get a needle and say goodbye to my wife and any of our kids who may want to see me before I go lights out!

Floridumb speaks: Why should I have to pay skool tax when I nevur went.. We don't need need no ejja-kayshun, duh... dumb....dumb...

Now even poems are CRT to the simpleton MAGA's. At least they have a tool, peewee

Yeah but what does the Bible tell you to think about this?

Explain how Putin is entitled to simply seize the land of a sovereign nation. “Gee, Vlad, want Odessa, too? How about if we throw in Ohio? Want that, too?” Americans learned that just because a state or region votes to secede, it does not get to secede.

If it’s the same thing you should contact those people who have been defamed and get a lawsuit going. Plus I’m talking specifically about allegations of election fraud against companies doing the counting. Failed impeachments mean nothing in a chamber that votes along party lines.

Yes what’s amazing to watch is the Canadian Liberal-NDP government’s clear contempt for Canadians, who are treated like children who can’t make decisions for themselves, yet almost half of Canadians seem to embrace this abdication of personal responsibility. This isn’t the Canada of Mulroney, Chrétien, or Harper. Government programs and narratives now dominate our lives. It’s basically the lie that Canada was bad until now (though in reality it was better here than in most countries for most people). We’re told that the only way to redeem ourselves is to empower certain identity groups above others and to water down our rights because the state knows how we should live and what we deserve. Tax our fuel and regulate our energy into submission. Permit and encourage self-destruction. The American way is better.

Much thanks...

We need an inquiry. I think that’s abundantly clear at this stage.

Save the Children, by keeping them as ignorant as yourself. 2023 and there's still people who think teaching your kids about their own sexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God.

Teaching pre-teens about sex is a perversion and a form of abuse.

You are ignorant of fact. If you had half a brain, you’d read this post any then ask yourself, “Huh. How comes the “news” I read made me think that Obama out-borrowed Trump?” Let’s begin with the obviously stupid lie you just made: That Obama increased deficits the day he got into office. See, that proves that you are 100% ignorant of what a deficit is. In the first place, the US has an annual operating budget which must originate in Congress, so the President cannot possibly pass a budget on the very first day. It takes nearly a year until a new President can be involved in increasing or decreasing the deficit. Also, you’re probably not aware that the deficit refers to ANNUAL debt, not TOTAL. Therefore, you’re too damn dumb to know that the DEFICIT under Obama shrank every year. The 2009 deficit was $1.4T. That was from Bush’s last year. The 2010 deficit was $1.3T, which, dumdum, is less than $1.4T. Along comes the shlthead, Trump, who immediately blew up deficits as high as $3.1 Trillion per year. Total deficit spending under Obama: $6.7 T Total deficit spending under Trump: $6.6 T Note that Trump was President half as long as Obama, had no Iraq War and nearly no Afghan War to fund.
