Time to take on far-right terrorists
Hal 9000 replied to jacee's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
The muslim population is at 3.5% (or so). With a growth rate of 3:1 while ours is 1.1:1, and the fact that they reproduce at an earlier age, their population will be higher that 7.2%...guaranteed. But, lets say it is only 7%, Belguim is ruled by muslims and they have a mere 6.5% muslim population, France - about 7-8%, Sweden (the new rape capital of the world) 8%, Germany 6% and England 5%. One can look at the populations in other countries and see how the trend follows the population growth by single percentage points. We'll start seeing drastic change to Canada when they settle in, and have a solid 5% of the population - that will be less than 10 years. As an edit: The muslim population in Toronto is now over 7% and in Montreal 6%. These 2 places will see a muslim population of over 10% in just a few years. The Chinese have a stranglehold on Vancouver, so I don't see a major islamic uprising happening there, but check out Montreal and Toronto in a about 5-10 years. -

That's great! I still think I'd choose freedom though. -
I'll ask you, do you know what a DH is?

You can see movies, Tv shows and TV commercials TODAY where a man gets kicked in the nuts or punched in the face by a woman, and it's all meant to make us laugh.

The fact that it's put into a 2 minute ad campaign is implication enough.

I'll tell you that without a doubt I know a lot more relationships where the wife/woman is calling the shots than the man, and it's not even close. Most men I know don't even see the money that they - or either of them earn. I see a vast majority of women driving the newer/safer vehicle while the man drives the older pick-up, I see women going out to sushi night with the girls way more often than any guy will go out for a hockey and beer night. Men nowadays have very little control over their own lives. I get that your father -in-law had his belief system, but believe me, that pretty much died out about 30 years ago for all but a tiny group of people. This isn't a Don Draper world and hasn't been for quite some time. I don't take issue with the message of the ad, I take issue with the presumptions that the ad reaches.

Is that really what "manly men" means to you, someone who beats their woman? Wow! This is the caricature/stereotype that Gillette has put into their ad, and people are buying it up. I work in a predominately male oriented industry, I know many many men and I don't know any wife beaters, nor do I know any man who would be accepting of a wife beater. I'm sure it happens, but I think it's pretty rare. I actually know more men who are afraid of their wives than anything else. I know that those "yo, baby" dudes get laughed at by us regular guys. I know very very few men will allow their son to bully another person. This ad shows the behaviour of about 1% of the men in the western world. P.S - I've been in a number of street fights and I'll be honest when I say that at least 50% were directly caused by women getting in some guys face..."Ummm, can you cool it dear, I'm the one that'll have to go outside with guy - not you". Yeah, that's how many fights happen.

Is there any down side to the US building a border wall?

Only for illegal immigrants. This is being touted as "building a border wall" in the media, which has liberal heads spinning round and round. But the fact is, they want to build another section of wall.

What is Wrong With the United State?
Hal 9000 replied to Iznogoud's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Judging by your OP, and all the others since, I doubt it! -
Any good lawyer knows that if a client is guilty, they don't let them testify. If a client is innocent, they absolutely do not let them testify.

In looking at your interests, i can see that you do write fine and have likely taken some political studies but I'm not convinced that you have a strong background in US history. -
What is Wrong With the United State?
Hal 9000 replied to Iznogoud's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Then why are you showing a chart that indicates 400,000 apprehended at the US-Mexico border? That is over 1000 people per day, how many people make it over? And, if the boarder wall/fence really doesn't do anything, then why all the issue over building it? -
What is Wrong With the United State?
Hal 9000 replied to Iznogoud's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I don't really want it both ways, however just because you don't want a stream of people flooding your borders doesn't mean that you care about them - that's a very juvenile stance. A country should have borders and if it takes a wall to protect that border, then so be it. The democrats shouldn't promise sanctuary for anyone willing to show up at the border - that's very irresponsible. -

Half of Canada contributes nothing to its tax base.
Hal 9000 replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Can you explain how they "demand nothing"? -
Half of Canada contributes nothing to its tax base.
Hal 9000 replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yes, that's why the low income people don't care about tax breaks or useless government spending. Low income people also like socialism, mainly because they don't really pay anything. I always have a laugh at low income people who complain that they are taxpayers, they're not. -
What is Wrong With the United State?
Hal 9000 replied to Iznogoud's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The Dems sure seemed to liken it to a crisis when families were getting "torn apart" and children were getting "caged" at the border. But, you don't think 100's of thousands of people crashing the border is an emergency? You don't think people and kids dying in the desert is a crisis, women getting abducted and raped by coyotes? You don't think there is a financial crisis when that many people have to be sheltered and paid for by taxpayers? I wont mention drugs or criminals, for obvious reasons. Now, I would understand the democrats position somewhat if it wasn't for the fact that they've all agree in the past that a border barrier is essential. But to go from voting on a wall under Obama to "it's a non-starter" under Trump should indicate to anyone with an IQ over 70, that this is nothing but political games. -

I don't understand how it's not a state of emergency. -
Obviously Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson are bias - they don't hide it. Bream, Baier and Wallace are somewhat down the middle - In fact Wallace is pretty tough on the president. The problem with CNN and MSNBC is that they claim a non-bias - all of them. They claim they're just asking the tough questions - right there is the first lie. CNN and MSNBC are full on operatives for the democrats.

Macron and Trudeau gang up on Trump
Hal 9000 replied to turningrite's topic in The Rest of the World
The entire world has a collective freak out because Trump pulls out of the Iran deal, the world constantly asks what Trump is gonna do about Russia, the world expects Trump to solve the North Korea threats, the world expects Trump to remove ISIS and overthrow Syria and what does Trump do? He says, "sure, but can you guys give a little for the effort" and the euros recoil. If the US is becoming isolationist, maybe it's because the Euros expect the US to carry the entire load. And, to add a laugh, their solution is not to deal with any actual crisis, not to pay their share to NATO...No, their solution is to start their own army to protect AGAINST the Americans invading them...really? They actually think Trump wants anything to do with the mess that Europe has created for themselves? It's staggering just how stupid these people are. -
Macron and Trudeau gang up on Trump
Hal 9000 replied to turningrite's topic in The Rest of the World
But...you know there is no chance of it happening right? Say what you will about the US, but they are the world's bodyguard. If the Euros want to go it alone, I'm sure Trump wont care. This is like the Patriots cutting Tom Brady because he asked his linemen to step up. It's like the members of Maroon 5 kicking out Adam Levine because he offended their senses. It's a joke! -
Macron and Trudeau gang up on Trump
Hal 9000 replied to turningrite's topic in The Rest of the World
But wait, the euros are gonna start their own army - hahaha! They are overrun with migrants, refuse to pay their debt to NATO and now want to start an army to protect against....the americans - WoW! I'm sure Trump would love to see NATO disbanded and put the money back into the US military. This is like a "Little Rascals" episode where alfalfa starts a new club because he and Spanky have a falling out. -

You'd think a peace conference would be a bad time to start a petty little pissing match - but no, not for the leftists. Douche bags never miss an opportunity to take a poke at Trump. If Trump said anything close to what Macron said, he woulda been slagged for causing division at a peace conference. You people are so full of shit when it comes to recognizing divisive politics and I think you know it. BTW - Putin was there, why is Macron such a pussy that he wont call out Putin? The french make me sick!
