"Neither the Evil Islamic Horde (EIH) nor Climate Change spells the end of society as we know it." ...also "With rising population, depleting natural resources and stretching social divide, civilization could be facing collapse within the next few decades, according to a scientific study funded by NASA." “Collapse can be avoided and population can reach equilibrium if the per capita rate of depletion of nature is reduced to a sustainable level, and if resources are distributed in a reasonably equitable fashion.” It does serve as a wake-up call that if we don’t want to face disaster, we need to seriously consider how we manage resources, population growth and wealth. The end is not yet nigh … if we can help it. I'm having a hard time knowing if you understand what you're reading. I'm not taking this seriously at all because it's simply another "oh, hey man, if we all just give more to the needy we can save the world!" article.

I didn't jump on climate change because...well, I agree with you on that. But, it was you who made the Evil Islamic Horde a factor in the argument, therefore it is fair game. I don't know how one can discuss population and economics without recognizing the impact that middle easterners are having on the economy of the west and how the birth rates in the middle east are literally skyrocketing. Muslims are about 2 steps out of the prehistoric ages and are multiplying at an alarming rate - of course the world economy is going to suffer.

"Neither the Evil Islamic Horde (EIH) nor Climate Change spells the end of society as we know it." ^^Is this the very first sentence you used to begin thread with?

Your point is?

Yeah, I get what you're saying, the western countries have possession of the watering holes and the muslims are moving into those western watering holes.

Trump has NAFTA to deal with and Canadian pipelines that are still on the back burner. Trudeau will be an easy victory for him to throw too his people. I think Trudeau will be met with rather quickly.

I don't think this is the first person to predict an overpopulation crisis, However it should be noted that there are few (if any) western countries that have a birth ratio that can even sustain their country or race, whereas the muslims are all at birth rates that can easily double or triple their populations in a generation.

Maybe she's just a bitch!

People aren't as good of liars as they think.

Here's a question I'd start with; So, do you think that a 16 YO girl should be stoned to death for the crime of being gang raped?

what do you mean by that

The idea that giving someone with an addiction or mental illness more money is a good start to a solution is simply adorable. My M.I.L does this and feels good about helping her son - She might as well be buying his drugs directly.

I don't really see that article or what they're conveying as being equivalent to screening out immigrants..

People can't fake personality tests as well as they all seem to think. They're the same type of people who don't think they're swayed by advertising.

Honestly, I really don't think they understand the equality that women and homo's have in Canada. In fact, I'm not sure most Canadians agree on the equality levels either.

I might support a proposal that gives every single individual 1000$ per month (or whatever), then anything they make over and above that is 100% theirs. By targeting the impoverished, they are basically just sticking the taxpayer with a higher debt. You know that those people will spend every dime they get in the same amount of time - nothing will change except tax rates for the middle class. Give them 1000$, give them 2000$ or 3000$, nothing will change, they'll still come back wanting low income housing and all their free benefits (medical, dental etc). Walmart will get a spike in big screen TV sales, and drug overdoses and alcoholism will increase. It's nothing more than a welfare hike. Here's the experiment that I want to see: 1) Give $30,000 to 100 random welfare recipients across the province. 2) Make them understand that if 10% of them can significantly improve their life, then the experiment will carry forward to 200 other people. 3) Have them log how they used the money. 4) Go back 2 months later...and check out what progress they've made.

Openly? Russia, Germany, UK, China and Israel. You have to assume that being a lame duck president, that there are more. I suppose it's to be expected, but for leaders to do it so openly is a little shocking. You'll ask for a cite, but no, if you can't/won't believe it, that's on you.

None of the world leaders are even bothering to take Obama seriously at this point. He's been cuckolded by Trump - It's actually kinda sad.

WoW! So much fail in two simple sentences. First off, the natural world doesn't care about US law. Society didn't care that the emails from DWS were obtained illegally, nor did they care about how Hillary's or Podesta's emails were acquired or released. The natural world doesn't care that Trump was recorded (the pussy tapes) without his knowledge. These people said and did what they said and did - plain and simple. The natural world requires that a price be paid - and in all cases it was, did these people pay enough of a price for their indiscretions - that's an opinion argument. As far as this woman's comments being "intimidating" or "violent", that's not really your decision (or mine), that is the decision of those she is addressing. I know you've been luring me into this argument for some time, clearly trying to change the topic and discuss what is and what is not intimidating, but that's not really up to us. I've seen interviews with students and I've seen the videos, and if the witnesses say this woman was trying to intimidate, then I can see their point. As for the "Mob" comment - are you serious? Is this how far you've stooped. I can't say i thought you were better than this, but geez! I'll say it again, she is a teacher/professor and she decided to air her political thoughts (that amounted to a childish rant) directly to an audience of students, which is very different that a regular person posting a Facebook rant, therefore, yes she got into the ring - and yes, she must accept whatever societal blowback comes her way.

It's interesting that both Obama and Kerry are sabotaging their own country with just 3 weeks left in power.

It did, problem is; Hillary paid a larger price for her "deplorable" comments.

Trump is paying for it. It almost cost him the election for starters. Women's groups are after him, people like you are calling him a rapist, celebs are spouting that he disrespects women and won't play at the inauguration. We have no idea how this affected him relationships with his wife and daughter, but I guarantee that behind the scenes, he is also paying for those comments. Of course he's paying the price for his comments, regardless of the intent

The theory works for everybody - in fact, it's inescapable. You must have missed this from my above posting.

WTF are you talking about? You're sounding like Omni. I've said that none of them are jokes, what Trump said was not a joke, what sheen said was not a joke. I've said nothing about forgiveness or execution.

I'd say the pussy grab comment was likely bravado, probably hyperbole. Remember, he never mentioned unwanted touching, it was "they let you do it".
