Miami School Bans Inaugural Poem
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States

Which means what? That shipping costs don't exist? That they aren't a lot higher in Canada? That sit doesn't go to a distribution centre first, and then gets shipped somewhere else? You mean they've been lying that a loaf of bread and jug of milk cost $1.00 more here because we're 150km from the city? That it really doesn't cost $2000 more to drive a truckload of gasoline that distance?

Well aren't you the typical bigot. You didn't read Kipling because Gunga Din wasn't white, eh? -
Mass absences break out at London schools as Pride flag flies
herbie replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
See the level of discussion? I know you are but what am I? Black is white! Up is down! The way this ink gets into chalk proves our toothpaste is better! -
Doncha know they don't have to back up their claims? Just make dumb simplistic statements and claim anyone who questions them is at fault?

No you're supposed to go along with the thread title that implies that so many students hate gay people so much they won't attend school if it flies a rainbow flag. And that is perfectly normal and acceptable behaviour. Otherwise, you're the bigot because they'll claim black is white as is usual. -
Women have won the war of the sexes and now face a bleak future
herbie replied to I am Groot's topic in Sex and Gender Issues
One guy's opinion does not make "social scientists say". He says 'women' marry for social/economic improvement. Not even 'most women' and definitely not 'some women'. I almost married one who earned 8 times what I did. The last one worked in a camp and made even more and walked away to work as a gorcery clerk to be with me all the time. My first wife was in the same union and same night school as me, both my sisters married classmates or co-workers. Almost every woman I know married for love and similar lifestyle above social or economic reasons. My (not so bright or ambitious) stepson married then dumped some Korean girl who's father owned a store there, later to find out he owned a chain of department stores all over Korea. She'd married downward. The whole article is based on a misogynist assumption that women marry men for 19th century reasons, 'survival', rather than their own free will. -
Do you seriously think an American would flood the forum everyday with stuff so ignorant and deplorable it only gives normal people reasons to dislike Americans? Or divisiveness among fellow Americans? Even if you go by: never attribute to maliciousness what is merely ignorance - nobody can be that stupid.

If you believe that's how 'women' choose, you don't have much vision or experience. -
Save the Children, by keeping them as ignorant as yourself. 2023 and there's still people who think teaching your kids about their own sexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God.

Your discussing Hollywood, which doesn't write novels. The first Godfather was about Don Corleone who was an immigrant but was about his organization, not about his citizenship status. And it was released during the time there was a lot of uproar as the only Italian-Americans portrayed by Hollywood were in Mafia roles. The movie was about a Mafia Crime Boss, not about immigrants 'settling into America'. House of Strangers just propogated the American Dream melting pot idea that it was so much better than the second-rate culture you emigrated from. Times change. Being of Italian extraction I can tell you all the times we met Italian immigrants arriving at YVX during the 1950s & 1960s that stopped dead by the time the Godfather was released, how we all joked that Grampa was a 'Whitehat Don', how as the oldest son of that branch of the family, that's now me. How many jokes I heard about how many gov'ts Italy had since the war, how my Grampa berided me for even wanting to go see "that shithole place" he came from someday. Jokes have all kind of turned around now. Italy long ago surpassed Canada in GDP. They don't move here anymore. They own the outfit that builds your Chargers, RAM pickups and Caravans. PLUS - that and the Godfater has sweet f*** all to do with left or right.

The Godfather was about the Mafia, not about 'immigrants'. Did you see a different movie than the rest of us?

So how do you attribute this ruling as having anything to do with racism or discrimination? What racism? What discrimination? As per usual, you've got everything ass backwards and call everyone else stupid. The Bible thumping fun-dumb-mental-ist oaf tried to sue someone for calling him out and the court said F*** off. The rest of his term the Board ignored and overruled him until the voters, unlike Flori-Duh tossed him for good.

So a State Governor all on his own can decide what is and what is not pornography (federal decision) and what your school can have in its library(local decision) and you praise that. A true modern conservative, accuse everyone else of being a dictator while praising your own.

Never heard so many load of shit arguments. The pot can't sue anyone, not even the kettle, for calling it black. If you stand on a soapbox praising Hitler and condemning the Jews, you can't sue the person that calls you a Nazi. If you are an a-hole, you can't waste the court's time because someone called you one. It has F*** all to do with 'free speech'.

I'm loyal to HP. Riding on a reputation from 30 years ago, their junk is so full of crap, bloatware and error filled instruction manuals that anyone in these parts who buy anything HP pretty much has to call me and pay me to set it up.

Liberal government destroyed the Crown
herbie replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Lots. Remember the ones that shit bricks when they took the smoky trains and ugly refineries off the paper money and put birds on it. Some people can't handle any change at all. They need routine like autistics... everything must stay the same from when they were born until they die. Soon there will be complaints they're "erasing QE II" when she's gone from the coins.
