  1. Yes it is fairly respectable but they make mistakes as does everyone.
  2. Not when it is whatever you want it to be. Assuming alternate news sources are unbiased is very naive.
  3. More a case of people choosing their lies and propaganda in accordance with their beliefs.
  4. Not sure what you mean. If it is about governments paying lobbyists to represent them with other governments, then yes.
  5. So you are saying no one should be trying to get food into Gaza and you approve of Hamas trying to stop it? Or is this just about Biden and not about stoping the people of Gaza from starving? History isn't your strong point.
  6. Did you bother to read your own link. It states that Churchill's statements before the war have been misquoted or taken out of context. His job as first lord of the Admiralty was to make sure the British fleet was prepared to counter the massive buildup in the German High Seas Fleet, which he did. The security of Britain's empire and being an island nation, its own survival depended on command of the seas. By 1910 Churchill had seen action in three wars including taking part in Britain's last meaningful cavalry charge, being captured, escaping and crossing 300 miles of enemy territory to safety on his own. He also commanded a battalion on the Western Front for a short time during WW1. He did know what war was about.
  7. I guess you could say that of any minister, the PM is their boss. She did a good job as justice minister and her proposed firearms legislation was far superior to the long arms registry fiasco and current bans with the supposed buy back that the Liberals are botching.
  8. Her tendency to speak her mind was one of her failings as a politician. Telling people things they don’t want to hear won’t get many votes.
  9. I disagree, she had a good record as a minister and think she could have done well as a PM.
  10. Your questions make no sense. You present no arguments that any rights are inherent or granted by any god.
  11. Humans over a period of centuries, we are still trying to define what should be rights and what shouldn't. They didn't magically appear out of the ether.
  12. Rights are something humans agree to give each other and make them into law. They are a human invention. All of them have conditions.
