What improvements would you like to see in this discussion forum?
OftenWrong replied to Greg's topic in Support and Questions
That would require me to mark every thread as "follow", then unmark the ones that are no good. It's maybe only one in ten threads that are bad enough to warrant being ignored, but those can sometimes be most popular among the low brow types. They may engage in p*ssing wars making those threads rise to the top of the Unread list over and over. For example there might be one thread about "Smokey plums" or some such nonsense that I would like to simply hide from view. The method you are suggesting is a lot of work. As a conservative, I'd like to power to block the material I don't want to see, not the other way around.- 1,890 replies

Who is Worse, Trudeau or Biden?

SCOTUS Ends Affirmative Action
OftenWrong replied to Nationalist's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Maybe so in America, where the dialogue always concerns itself with race. It's far less prominent here. Although not gone, never completely gone. But life's imperfect in many ways. You people are obsessed with race, which is why it's tearing your country apart. Even the attempt to mitigate racism in your country- is racism. That's why the misguided intentions of affirmative action cause more problems than they solve. This is a bold move by the supreme court to uphold the core values, that will make her great again. God bless America. -
Canada & a New Structure of World Peace
OftenWrong replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Maybe thay's how it was, maybe how it should be, but Justin Trudeau just gave Zelenski $500 Million of our hard-earned bucks. In case you were not paying attention. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6871411 The Canada you admire does not exist anymore. Is just an idealistic dream that can't function, due to reality. -
Is there perhaps... a new friend, or something?

Thanks for your insightful contribution once again, little herbie. You do the inanity part quite well... -

Jens Stoltenberg had nothing but praise for Don Trump, after Trump pressured all those deadbeat countries to live up to their committments and pony up. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_165349.htm Secretary General Stoltenberg: Thanks so much, Mr. President, and thank you for hosting me and my delegation once again in the White House. And it’s great to see you. It’s great to be here. And thank you so much for your strong support and for your commitment to NATO and for your leadership, especially on burden sharing. NATO is a strong alliance, but to remain a strong alliance, we have to be a fair alliance. And therefore, Allies have to invest more in defence. You have a very clear message on that, and your message is having a clear impact. Because Allies are now starting to invest more. After years of decline, we’ve seen all Allies are investing more in defence. And since 2016, they have added more than $40 billion already. By 2020, it will be, as you said, $100 billion. And then we expect that to continue to grow. We need to do more, and therefore, burden sharing and the defence investments is a top priority for me in all my engagements with different NATO Allies. That's right buttercup. Trump got NATO a whole lot of money, so they could use it to defend us from the big bad Russians. Obviously you have a poor grasp of history, in particular in regards to your own president. That's why, you people are a JOKE.

Quoting lyrics. There's an original thought, eh? /yawn /lowbrow -

Yep, you heard it because its all true. -
Who is Worse, Trudeau or Biden?
OftenWrong replied to WestCanMan's topic in Canada / United States Relations
Biden has obviously many years of experience in politics, Trudeau has no experience in anything except partying in blackface, again and again. But Biden has a lot more years of involvement in corruption, while J. Turdmeister was simply born with a silver spoon in his mouth. It's a conundrum... -
All started by Trump, which Uncle Joe merely continued. "Make America Great Again"
-
And Trumps number is lower than Obama's, so perhaps we can say it has little to do with the choice of president or party. Unless you can point to what Uncle Joe has done to get that little pissant 0.1 that has you so proud?

Canada's forestry management needs to be put under scrutiny. When you plant only one type or species due to its economic value and remove the "junk" trees like aspen, birch and poplars, there are consequences. These soft woods hold a lot more moisture and play a role in slowing down the spread of forest fires. "The physical properties of aspen resist intense fire behaviour; high crown base height, higher moisture content of the leaves and stems, and tight, smooth bark. Since the characteristics of these trees do not readily support fast-moving wildfires, they make ideal species to plant in and around FireSmart communities." https://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/formain15744/$FILE/tree-species-impact-wildfire-aug03-2012.pdf

I remember it (US unemployment) being already very low during the Trump presidency. It continued to drop following a trend during Obama. Article gives the history- https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/trumps-economic-legacy/story?id=74760051 "In the last year of Trump’s presidency, the unemployment rate reached a 50-year low of 3.5% in February. The coronavirus pandemic soon walloped the economy, forcing swaths of businesses across the country to close. The unemployment level skyrocketed to 14.7% in April. It receded to 6.7% as of last month (Jan 2021) but remains above the level of 4.8% when Trump took office in 2016."

Trolling is not my intent. I prefer to write less, but say more. Think of me as an educator via the Socratic method. My question about the topic is, how do they assess the person's level of racialization? They must have a graph with different skin colours along the bottom, and numbers at the top. Or perhaps they do a calculation by some formula. Discrimination = skin tone + disability + IsWoman/(mainstream cultural appropriation) Then during the interview they must ask some specific questions. Like, "Ever been called niggardly by a white man?"

That cannot be, because I just did same thing. Now you can add "university" and it will come up. This is a standard paragraph they use in mulitple job postings, so you will find one. The details of which employer aren't relevant to the thread discussion, but that they are doing it as an example.

Donald Trump = Diefenbaker
OftenWrong replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
I already "started" my comparisons in my earlier post, so you can address those. -
Well, you can probably google it. It's a university.
