Election Deniers Stir Concern in Swing States
CdnFox replied to applegrove's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Okay, but was there a point? -
Far left judge tries to overrule the Supreme Court
CdnFox replied to West's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Its not her body once it's a person. You can make an argument as to when you think a fetus becomes a person but continuing to claim that this is about the 'womans choice" is an absolute lie and one that's really getting old. This is about the question of when does the egg become a human being - because at that point it's the CHILDS body and we don't kill children. So it's got zero to do with a woman's right to choose. Nobody would say she's not got the right to get her tubes tied for example. But a baby's life is not hers to decide to kill. So - the real question is when is it a baby, and you have to make your case for that. -
It was better than Biden I think. But that's a lot like comparing a head-on train crash with one just going off the rails. I don't think it was a good look for her. I don't know about anyone else but I find the head nodding thing really off-putting. Anybody who knows anything about body language knows that that's a trick that shysters pull to try and make their arguments seem more convincing. Nod your head yes and hopefully other people will parrot you and also not their heads yes and it makes them feel like agreeing with you. But to anybody who's actually paying attention it just looks like they're desperate for you to believe them. My feeling is the only reason she did this is that she's actually doing less well in the polls then the public pools would suggest. I'm not sure this will help

Ill keep it breif. 1 - we never tried to wipe them out as a people or they'd be dead. They DID try to wipe out whites. Fail. It is an utter lie that they wanted to destroy the first nations at any point, completely and utterly a lie. 2 See above. Complete fabrication. Produce a document that says the gov't willfully and intentionally added mercury to the first nations water with the intent to kill them. you can't. That was a lie 3 they kept slaves, and trying to pass it off as the "GOOD" kind of slavery is utter bullsh*t. 4 Slavery was banned in england, which was who showed up here so no, they weren't the 'biggest slavers' out there. Swing and a miss. 5 they absolutely traded women like horses or any other chattel. Not 'arranged marrages'. Sorry kiddo. 6 they know the precontact death rate from several sources including the first nations themselves. Remember their oral traditions are considered to be verbatum facts. 7 while the first nations died from smallpox etc that was not introduced to canada by the english. Swing and a miss. Further the engish spent a fortune keeping the first nations alive, so the 50 percent death rate would have been closer to 90 percent without our showing up. The officials of the Hudsons bay company (the gov't of the day ) talked of spending their own money to treat every textile with "Flour of Sulphur" and even keeping first nations sick in tehir own homes, and running supplies to the first nations villages so they wouldn't go out and spread the illness. (they went out anyway) And by your own numbers once canada took over their population shot up again so much for canada trying to repress their numbers. 8 The 60's scoop was as i said. YOU are the one who needs to look it up. It was kids being "Scooped up" by the child welfare system when they felt kids were in danger. They didn't just walk into anyone's home and steal a kid for god's sake. And the welfare foster homes were mostly white at the time. 9 Cultural genocide is NOT widely accepted outside of extremely left wing academics and some gov'ts who don't want to upset first nations but NOBODY in their right minds thinks it's a genocide, and "Cultural genocide" doesn't exist, its' a fake term invented to get the word "genocide" in there because it sounds worse than 'assimilation'. Virtually everything you said was a complete rewrite of history to support a conclusion you arrived at without examining the facts. You know nothing and have romanticized the "victimhood' of the first nations with no regard to the reality or history. And there is NOTHING holding the first nations back from having prosperous and happy lives today other than their own cultural issues and being told they're 'victims' constantly.

Yeah, I just watched the debate and it was a little painful. All Eby could talk about is how bad A job the liberals did when they were in power. And every time he said that I thought but you've been in power for 7 years and everything has gotten worse. Hell after 7 years all you could do is get herbie one McDonald's and he's still pissed about it The NDP record is disastrous. Hopefully people will remember that

The Only Patriotic Choice for President
CdnFox replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Well to keep it short just because i'm a bit pressed for time tonite.... It's almost a meme that people tend to use their upbringing and background (rather than formal education or other credentials) to say "I'm superior to you and more qualified to speak to this" Some examples are the ever popular "I can say this about (ethnic group) because some of my best friends are (ethnic group). Or "I can relate to poor people because i was poor growing up so i'm the same as a poor person" (Oprah after earning her next 100 million) Or as Kamala has been saying " I understand x issue because i grew up in a middle class family so i understand how (virtually every group ever anywhere) feels". She over uses it to an extreme. Her upbringing wasn't even 'average' middle class, her parents both made massive dollars, she grew up in montreal as a teen, etc etc. She has NO connection to young people growing up in alabama but still insists she does because she 'grew up in a middle class family' So when you explain your growing up and life and use it as a basis to justify your current position or give credibility to your current position then you create the appearance of falling into that same pattern or meme. I get you probably just wanted to explain that your experiences lead you to your conclusion but what it sounds like is similar to the "i grew up in a middle class family so i really understand the xxxx people!" trope or meme. Hence my comment comparing it. Which may or may not be the case in your specific case but that's how it comes across a little. Edit - And as others can testify yes that IS short for me! Shut up. -
Trump will run US economy like his business
CdnFox replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Tax cuts are in fact less inflationary than gov't spending. Tax cuts leave "earned" dollars in the system. A dollar of market value was left in the system for the dollar spent by the spender. That doesn't create inflation in the same way. A dollar borrowed by the gov't and injected into the system increases currency without increasing market created value. It creates a faux economy and increases inflationary pressure much more than leaving money created by the economy does. If inflation is an issue and the choice is between tax cuts and deficit spending, all else being equal tax cuts is less inflationary. Although the issue is usually slightly more complex than that -
They are not meaningless at all. In fact they are very important. Not so much in isolation but as a trend line it says a great deal. Sure things can always change. God knows there's been no end of upsets in the history of Canada, and that's why Trudeau doesn't want to quit. As long as he stays in the game there's at least the possibility that some magical miracle will happen and change his fortunes. Campaigns matter. For sure they do. But knowing the history and understanding the dynamics of what's happening is very important and we can learn a lot about where Canadians are by looking at the polls over the last several months. And what we're seeing is a fundamental shift as people move away from more woke politics and begin to fear for their future. They no longer have faith in the left to deliver real opportunity. That's a moment in history. And certainly it does not look good for the liberals.

Why Trump is Going to Prison
CdnFox replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
No he wasn't. The crime wasn't the same at all. Cohen was sentanced for criminal tax evasion. Trump has not been accused of tax evasion. Cohen was also sentanced for criminal campaign contributions. Trump was not accused of that at all. The charges are NOTHING REMOTELY like one another. Trump was charged with the misdemeanor of putting a payment under legal expenses when the court thinks it should have gone somewhere else. But he paid all his taxes and it wasn't a contribution. Its' not even a misdemeanor anywhere else in the country so it's not surprising nobody has ever been charged as trump was. The misdemeanor ONLY becomes a felony if it was done to hide another felony crime. And they did NOT HAVE TO PROVE that ANY such crime happened at all, and the jury didn't even have to agree on WHICH crime it might have been. This is a first in history. Sorry the op news story is just propaganda. -
Very limited faith in this organization to accurately or truthfully report anything. But the bottom line is if somebody actually raped a prisoner (and that does NOT mean 'made them take off their clothes') then they should be caught and tried and fully punished. that's absolutely not ok even if they are combatants. But NONE of that reduces the punishment palestine has coming to it for it's state sponsored and horrific unprovoked attack on civilian targets in a time of peace without declaration. Sorry but that's an order of magnitude worse

CA Sues Hospital for Refusing Abortion
CdnFox replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
You're certainly insane for suggesting that's what I said. We can talk about that further if you insist on looking stupid but i'll give you the chance to pretend you didn't say that Not if it's murder. Sorry kiddo, once a fetus is a human the rights of a human attach and it's not 'abortion' any more it's murder, an murdering children has never been a lawful solution in our society. -
LOL ahhhh yes, your usual melt down and retort when you've got nothing Well, I suppose it's not an unreasonable statement to say that virtually all political rally speeches are old man yells at TV type events (except harris which is an 'Old woman giggles at tv" event) and I'm sure it does come up at a number of those events so I'm willing to spot you that as being probably an accurate statement welll.... obviously is a strong word She very much has communistic elements in her platform and previous speeches. Blah blah still can't refute and now getting more butthurt aperently. And you're wrong, but you did provide more evidence he trafficked in slaves. Yes. Among other things, that's true. They demanded the right to set all of their own laws and saw confederation is more of a loose association than giving power to a national central government. Slavery was one of the issues where they disagree, but there were others and they worry that there would be even further ones. Laws were being proposed that would have affected their agricultural Prosperity well beyond slavery. And they were assured this is something that wouldn't happen when they signed on to confederation More like you should be charged for your misinformation Very little of the Nazi policy had anything to do with racism. And while slavery was certainly the biggest example and sorepoint, what led to the south rising up was a difference between them being able to set their own policies and laws and the north being able to set them for them. That included things like excise taxes shipping and other concerns land use and ownership and a number of other things. Let's not forget that the war started not over a conflict involving a slave but rather a conflict involving who owned a piece of land that a fort was on and the right of the north to station military there.

Making them get naked isn't rape. It isn't even sexual abuse. It's an interrogation technique. Next you'll claim that forcing prisoners to wear handcuffs is some sort of bondage exercise.

Tsundere is a japanese term for a character in fiction that initially appears to hate another character and treats them badly but deep down actually likes them and over time their relationship grows, usually to the point of romantic involvement (tho she'll usually still pretend to get mad at him regularly). It's a common trope in a lot of cultures. The girl starts off hating the guy but then one day... THe sort of opposite is yandere, where a sweet innocent person becomes utterly infatuated with another character often to the point of jealous violence and obsession.

The Only Patriotic Choice for President
CdnFox replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I"ll be honest, i feel there's better topics to discuss if we're going to do a fresh start but in the interest of open dialogue to answer your question i would say that to be accurate (and perhaps unnecessarily complicated) that in this case i referenced partisan drivel in a slightly partisan and drivilish way (tot in a cheap shot at kammy ) to address what (in my perception) was partisan drivel. So yes. And a bit. -
Blah blah blah deny deny deny lie lie lie backpeddal backpeddal. You did make that claim and continue to do so, Plain english is plain english no matter how much you wish it wasn't He obviously isn't using 'communist' to describe anyone who's not maga There's an entire book laying out lincoln's slavery connection, and you say there's no evidence and then provide evidence. (which you do frequently). So your loss. The cause of succession was not slavery. That's a modern take that the left loves, but in reality it was the right to set their own loaws and policies and not to be interfered with. Slavery was a prime example and held up as such but it was not the only one and this issue went back to the very first confederation discussions. The south was 'don't tread on me' and the north was 'united we stand divided we fall'. You clearly have no clue what the us is celebrating. Your lies and your attempts to re write history only prove my point.

Sorry to scare you like that kid I hate to break it to you You're the one getting laughed at. And not just by me And if you think the conversations have been going well for you so far I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to prepare for disappointment yet again As is frequently noted, every single leftist on this board when they wind up looking stupid or feel they've lost an argument or can't refute something that's important to their tribe starts to have weird sexual fantasies about their opponent. I'ts like this weird combination of tsundere and Stockholm syndrome. The more someone beats up on you the more you imagine sexual activity or attraction associated with them. Someone really aught to research that
