I never voted that.

Now at least they don't have to comply with refugee levels imposed upon them by an outside organization, over whom they have no say. Britons chose more autonomy and with it, economic uncertainty, and even the prospect of increased poverty, over being ruled by a council they have no influence over. I cannot see any other sensible choice. The Brits have made their decision and now must live in it, but they are a pretty tough lot. They can and will endure. God save the Queen!

@Greg Other boards/ software are equally plagued by hacker attacks, so for all the work it takes to migrate, and for users to adjust etc. still won't guarantee this problem is solved. In fact these problems are never completely solved. You could, for example devise policies that limit the number of new posts a new account can make, to one per day, or perhaps one per forum, per day... etc. This would continue for a short time until the member is considered legit. Technology is not the only thing. Another option is to use human beings to patrol the forum. Members could be encouraged to report any spam, or strange posts. (The latter being rather subjective for some around here...)

Uh oh, we have another fishin' obstetrician.

I read it differently. I read that the CIA said they had no hard evidence, but that most likely MBS would have been involved. Because in the Saudi regime, nothing gets done without being sanctioned by MSB. Else, off goes your head. As well as your brother's head, wife, sister, cousin's... No one over there said a damned thing, or else, so CIA's evidence was fairly circumstantial. The best they could conclude was that MBS most likely approved the execution.But that is all. So what would you like Donald Trump to do about it, start a war? One guy killed. Trump already imposed sanctions of some sort because of this. Anyone else impose sanctions? I googled for it, couldn't find much. What's Canada doing about it? Where's Trudeau on this? https://www.google.ca/search?q=Canada+sanctions+saudi+arabia CBC- Christie Freeland 'mum' on why Canada has not imposed sanctions on Saudi Arabia. That's nice. Maybe her kid can make her another T-Shirt. "Not Enough Cash-oggi" https://www.google.ca/search?q=turkey+sanctions+saudi+arabia Turks are full of bull crap, as usual... https://www.google.ca/search?q=EU+sanctions+saudi+arabia Euro-pansies, nowhere to be seen. They have their own problems now, I guess.

Watching Jagmeet Singh answer questions on TV. This man is always snarling when he replies. Perhaps someone should inform NDP how to win. Today's politics is acting. Charisma wins, not actual policy. Image wins. In some cases, as with Singh (and surely others), race wins. How Jagmeet Singh won the NDP leadership The front person is merely the face of the organization. You need someone who inspires the confidence of the people almost at a glance. Average voters attention span is about 30 seconds. Let's not talk about some far-out future utopia, let's talk about today. On a federal level, one has to have charisma, and an appealing image. That is the real reason Trudeau won the PM (to wit- my Mom voted for him). Politics is image, and acting. That's the approach taken by the CPC, with their smiling Andrew Sheer: Would you elect this man? Admit it, you want to hug this man! Andrew cannot even look angry. Here's his best scowl- Meanwhile, as you can see, Jagmeet cannot smile, even when trying: ==== It's creepy to think this man could be the next PM of Canada. "Really? No damn way." says my wife. That's when I'm leaving! "Not to worry," says I. Canadians are not that stupid. Well, not yet anyways but the Liberals and their news media are working on it. This guy Singh attained power when a cabal of Sikhs united to get him bing money votes from their constituencies. New NDP members. A majority of Sikhs, Hindus, and those of similar persuasion, who voted along entirely racial lines. Not by politics. Through united effort they have managed to get "Snarlin' Singh" the top job. Oh to be a fly on the wall in NDP backrooms during those days, listening to the discussion by the NDP "old guard" as they watched the horror unfold. A recent poll puts NDP support at a miserly 11.8 per cent. Link

There's this little thing called actual evidence, m'kay?

The Vision of Christ that thou dost see Is my Vision’s Greatest Enemy. Thine has a great hook nose like thine; Mine has a snub nose like to mine. Thine is the friend of All Mankind; Mine speaks in parables to the Blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates; Thy Heaven doors are my Hell Gates. Socrates taught what Melitus Loathed as a Nation’s bitterest Curse; And Caiphas was in his own Mind A benefactor to Mankind. Both read the Bible day & night, But thou readest black where I read white.

But even if a man is a complete swine... does that make it alright for you or I or anyone else, to also be a swine? No! No, and again, no. That is where CNN and the Left go wrong. For every act of political swinery, there is another, even deeper act of political swinery waiting to be done. Then it's pigs all the way down!

Spanky, ever consider you might be second-guessing her? Maybe she knows something you don't know. What is better, to resign as you suggest, essentially hand over the reigns of power directly to the people you oppose, or keep your position, where you have a chance to do meaningful reform work that requires a long-term commitment. Answer: Stay the course.

Where? True, and if that didn't work she could pound her fist in the sand. "Damn you!".

I'm saying it is naive to think a person always has the option to do the right thing, in all circumstances. I'd wager things can get pretty ugly over there, and being a woman probably makes it even more difficult. Who the hell are you.

Sure. Let me know if you meet Jesus someday.

Artificial intelligence is now smarter than Leftist intelligence? Who knew?

Perhaps it's a bad idea to uphold someone as an 'iconic figure' in the first place. Disappointment? Not really... human nature, an' stuff.
