Bwah hah hah ha Biden shot down our balloon flying over the Yukon, say hobbyists

Jesus represents personal responsibility versus state authority. The state is a human construct under satanic influence.

You pointed out most of the differences already. In my view the big city is where big business goes. There's a lot more money around. There is also the ghetto. People who need welfare are attracted to city life where rent and odd jobs are more available. Plus social services. It's pretty obvious when living in big cities why you need welfare. Small towns don't have as much wealth, but also not as much poverty.

Because they are mere baubles to be toyed with in the war between superpowers. Same as the Ukraine. They are f*cked, man.

How many tons did you have?

People should not be allowed to spam threads with tons of off-topic material. Some minor variance is fine, but the general intention needs to be to stay on topic. If your post has no relevance to the thread topic, you need to rethink that and not send it.

I do not represent any interests, nor do I make representations of any kind. Meanwhile those of you who put your faith in blessed technology as the way out of our situation, may be in for a disappointment. Arguably the embrace of high tech is the very reason that we have created so much global carbon, and many other pollutants and toxins. CO2 is but one part of the overall picture of destruction caused by implementing technology and mechanization, taking us from an agrarian society that lasted for thousands of years, to the brink of destruction of not only mankind but all life on planet earth. All in a mere two hundred years. So carry on, ye progressives I say. Right over the brink Carry on but make it quick. It's just better that way, more humane. .... Now back to your favourite topic Boges, why your EV will save the world. We talked about how dangerous the batteries are when they alight on fire. That they create an incredible heat of 2000 degrees that cannot be extinguished. It has to be left to burn itself out. Second, the toxicity of spent batteries, and the difficulty recycling/ extracting the raw materials again, makes disposal an important issue. Or did we not learn our lesson yet about spent fuel nuclear rods... the song and dance routine that sold the public on reactor safety. They too gave assurances that technology would save us. Third, the issue that there is a limited supply of lithium in the first place. In fact it's already become clear there is not enough lithium for us to make the transition to EV's. There are several article to substantiate this claim. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/electric-vehicles-world-enough-lithium-resources/ The world could face lithium shortages by 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says, while Credit Suisse thinks demand could treble between 2020 and 2025, meaning “supply would be stretched”. About 2 billion EVs need to be on the road by 2050 for the world to hit net zero, the IEA says, but sales stood at just 6.6 million last year, and some carmakers are already selling out of EVs. Lithium supply faces challenges not only from surging demand, but because resources are concentrated in a few places. Future developments with batteries or manufacturing methods could eventually alleviate some lithium shortages. Boges, it sounds to me like the lithium battery is a dead end. Most countries are not investing in this tech, because there is a need for new fuel cell. You've essentially bought the blue-ray of cars...

How long has it been the case, and did Mr. Trudeau already know about it when he so famously said he admires China for the "basic dictatorship". Basic is one word for it, alright...

Him not notice

Well here we are all still discussing the thread. Except Moonbat of course.

We do allow a certain leverage, its not a gulag. But especially now that there is no moderator, it allows certain posters to unleash they ad hominem based style. Shit posters, like you. If that's the way it is now, fine. When in Rome, as they say. Now fook off.

Glad we've come full circle. Note thread title, "Community input on education policy banned".

Unfortunately that doesn't work anymore, as for Canada the King is merely symbolic, a "figurehead". So it is not a Monarchy. It is Fellahin Society. Post Democratic Zombie State

There's reflecting community values by teaching them in school, and there's leading the way. Who gets to lead the way?

I'm not sure I like your tone...

Democracy is but a fleeting dream in a book written by some old man, long long ago. Maybe there never was one. Instead what we have is just like in religious rule, if you do not ascribe to their definition of morality, you're treated as anathema. "A formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine." I looked up what it means. It's one of the skills I learned, in my school.

Why is this their mandate, why are they wasting valuable taxpayers dollars to implement some experimental social reform program? Academic education is the mandate. Anything else needs to be challenged.

It's also about fairness, and sometimes compromise. If my liberty takes away some of your liberty, that's where the problem begins. "Revenge is a dish best served cold." -Lt. Worf, son of Mogh

Really? Ok, destroying may be a strong word. But then we could say the same thing happened in the USSR. That mighty pinnacle of achievement of the supreme soviets. Remember I said extremism is the problem. The extreme of anything is bad. Then I think I said, "Once upon a time, in pepperland..." or something. Was pretty good, you should go read it.

Sugar coat it with lawyer talk all you want. It attempts to insult the poster. I never understood why the forum allowed that kind of rhetoric, hurling insults is insults, even if you insult their intelligence. Insults are not debate but it has always been tolerated. I'm ok with some petty ribbing etc, as long as there is also intelligent content. It keeps things more lively. I don't see the OP as stupid or useless. I already weighed in earlier on my thought towards it. Doesn't mean I agree with all the point BB makes. However Canada is having some trouble and becoming more divided, and things are much worse to the South. We tend to follow the US far too much, even importing their problems on ourselves. Why that is, is a topic worth discussing. The unilateral reaction from those I consider on the left is far more interesting.

I didn't see him doing that. Can you show where he tried to silence anyone? Stop trying to silence those whose intellect is superior to yours. Ih wait, that's practically everyone here. Except Moonbox, Aristedes, Flyboy, Rebonehead, Actually a long list.

It's true that I purposely changed my writing to match that of the new house style around here. At least Exflyboy makes an intelligent point now and then, among the rhetoric. You, not really. Absolute bullshit

I guess that is your interpretation. When I read "matching your mental effort in kind". This is garbage and should not be encouraged. Least of all by you.
