It's a lot more true than not true. I mean - if your complaint is that complex socio-economic issues can't always be exhaustively explained in one sentance in a web forum, ya got me But - by and large it is true and demonstrably so. Name a person who got rich without dragging a bunch of people with them under that model An OS that changed the world, produced tens of thousands of jobs, made thousands into millionares, and drove massive amounts of wealth creation. You can downplay anything if you want - "what did jesus do for us other than get some people liquored up a wedding and get himself nailed to a tree for saying we should be nice to people?" But the reality is different. Whether you liked dos or windows - there can be NO doubt that gate's rise to wealth rose a hell of a lot of other people as well. THe lowest employees still have jobs they wouldn't have had - and that's still economic activity, But - he has made a LOT of people very wealthy and amazon is a major factor in a number of retirement funds Just as microsoft is. You know jeff doesn't own the whole thing himself right? Sure. "Pure" capitalism eventually leads to a single corp monopolizing everything, It needs structure, Very few 'pure' things work out well - pure democracy would be a disaster for example. But - with that aside it is very difficult in a capitalist model to get rich without raising the quality of life for a lot of other people. In communism or socialism you can.

China's unrelenting influence campaign in Canada

Yeash - i knew i was pushing that brain of yours too hard to attempt three at a time You mean like posting the same little icon again and again because someone tells you to hoping it'll make you look cool at some point? Naaaahhh, you're doing great! Give us one more and then i'll let you take a rest -

ha ha ha? LOL ok And i'm not the one who's doing the bidding of a stranger on the internent Doing what i tell you when i tell you because you're that simple certainly gets a chuckle out of me ROFLMAO - i honestly can't believe it's this easy to mess with your brain It was bad enough when i was getting you to do it once but you literally RACED to do it twice when i asked you to Did you want to go for 9? youll REALLY prove that you're the boss then! Or maybe 10! think of how cool you'd look then! -
Then why wasn't that in your definition? Sounds like you effed it up again. You really suck at definitions . Heres' what the dictionary has to say woman woo͝m′ən noun An adult female human. Women considered as a group; womankind. An adult female human belonging to a specified occupation, group, nationality, or other category. Often used in combination. Maybe seeing as you suck so bad at creating definitions you should stick with the established ones.

Wow - you really can't help yourself can you I get you going and even you can't stop you from looking dumb 6 is amazing - basically it's like i'm living rent free in your mind. Lets do 7 - that'll REALLY show me All you can say about me is that you should do something. Wouldn't that be saying something about you, not me? THat's the beautiful thing about you - i don't need to do much of anything, you bring yourself down and beat yourself up on your own, i just have to make the popcorn Whhhhaaaaatttt rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs... -
I've given many. In the end you had to admit all were true even if you didn't like it. Nope - they got pressured into it by teachers and other left wing groups who oressured them to do that. But - the fact you'd bring up that one example shows you know i'm right and you're wrong out of the gate ROFLMAO - awwww little girl - is your morning going so badly that you're reduced to that kind of nonsense ALREADY? Dare i predict a meme in short order? I make no effort to defend authortarianism and there is no trans genocide. No pretense necessary THe left is always authortarian. They're all about cancel culture, they're all about punishing anyone who disagrees - hell the democrats supported the riots a few years back because it keeps people in line to know your opponent might get horrifically violent with you if you disagree. Look at your own pet group - antifa is all about complete authortarianism and will use whatever violence is necessary to force their views on others, You're probably wearing jack boots right now. And in canada we've got the same left spouting the same nonsense and passing censorship laws, laws compelling speech, etc etc. The left is all about authortarianism And i've explained why that's always going to be the case moving forward. Yeah but we've already gone over why those are lies. There's no book banning . That's just a pure straight out lie. And nobody is 'restricting healthcare' - they're saying mutilating kids isn't right. Sorry kiddo - you repeat the same tired arguments which have already been debunked dozens of times and all that does is show that you're a tired, dishonest loser pining for the old days when people didn't think you were trash.

LOL - i suspect that like most 'liberal' forums the liberals drove off every moderate right wing person out there and in fact it wasn't a "discussion" forum, it was most likely an echo chamber. Then a handful of unmanageables shows up and there you go. liberals never want to look at the role they play. They're always perfect little angels and even righties are teh only ones to blame. Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better.

LOL - manipulating you to do things is slightly easier than manipulating a kitten I should really get a laser pointer for you C'mon little guy - do it again I "care" about you the same way i care about watching a slinky going down the stairs. It's kind of mildly amusing and it requires very little though or effort. Basically i just wanted to see if i could make you do what i wanted and how many times i could pull it off with low effort. Four so far. We'll see if we get a fifth out of you, but i was pretty amused by four and I'm sure I'll lose interest shortly -
It has a much higher standard of living as countries that are closer to socialism. As a rule, the closer to socialism the lower the standards of living. And that's just a simple fact. Capitalism has pulled more people out of poverty than any other model out there. Countries that rely on capitalist models have better health, better food security, better military security, are more stable, etc etc. There is some benefit depending on your point of view of having some social safety net. Straight Capitalism and true meritocracies tend to leave behind a small part of the population who simply aren't fit to earn their spot. Caring for those people can be seen to be a 'value' and something that a country provides for, but that's not really socialism ipso facto. And that model is always a failure. Why would anyone stick around a country like that to get rich if someone's just going to take it. Instead, what most successful countries do is say everyone pays their fair share of taxes, and while the wealthy wind up paying more the burden isn't on them entirely at all. Where it makes sense and keeps costs low the gov't may provide a single source for services such as health, or a standing military, or education or police and passport services etc. Whenever you centralize power and try to centralize money inevitably the people who control that money are no different than rich people who have amassed a fortune independently. Except they're ALREADY in a position of absolute power, they don't need to 'buy' it or corrupt the system to get power, it's baked right in. So you get corruption, and we see t again and again and again. And they've already got their hands on the people's money. THe problem is that when Bill Gates becomes a super rich person, it's because he actually created something. He created the wealth by building a product, building a company, tonnes of people would get rich helping to build his company, thousands would get employed by the company - there's real wealth being generated. When the socialist in charge gets rich - nothing is created. They just leech off the people . Thats why over time socialist countries have a lower standard of living and are poorer countries. The only way ambitious people can get wealthy is to leech from others. Creating something doesn't do you any good because someone just takes it.

LOL - awwww look at you, you've gained the intellectual skills of a parrot I believe that makes you as smart as a 3 year old now Yes - and most professional lawyers disagreed with him. And the entire FBI team disagreed with him to and argued furiously until the DOJ told them to shut up and suck it up. That'd be the same DOJ who's boss Clintion ran across the tarmac to go have a chat with. As i've shown - most professionals disagreed with comey. And the prevelant legal opinion is that there IS no intent required for that crime, period. And nobody argues that the crime didn't happen - it did and that's accepted fact by both sides. So there you go kiddo I proved my case - do you have some sort of evidence to show that most lawyers don't disagree with that decision?

First off - nothing happens faster than trudeau commits scandals - trudeau is like the speed of light of scandals, nothing can go faster. Second off sure they're increasing the size of their navy. But in realistic terms they're not nearly powerful enough to make much of a difference yet. China vs the us ends one way. Not exactly. The registerd the completion of that many but the numbers aren't quite what they look like. The chinese navy is nothing to sneeze at but it will be quite some time before it could actually be a serious contender for 'biggest navy'. At least in tonnage. The chinese tech is just not at the same level and their people are not as well versed on it. I'm sure they'd make a good showing. But in the end they'd lose a prolonged naval confrontation. I think you'd find that at the end of the day, the chinese would still come up short. They wouldn't be hte first asian power that thought they had the upper hand The chinese may have more ships, but the us ships are much bigger, much more multi-role capable and at the end of the day nothing beats carriers. And the us are masters of carriers. The us navy is still currently twice the tonange of the Chinese . It would not be a fair fight just yet

No he didn't. He said she committed a serious crime but they didn't think they could prove mens rea. And you didn't answer the question - the FBI's top lawyers all thought the charges were totally appropriate till they got shot down by the woman whom bill met across the tarmac. It explains he though she should be charged 'right up till the end' - and that he basically just gave up arguing. It also correctly notes that Comey's explanation was that he couldn't prove mens rea. - but that the crime DOES NOT REQUIRE mens rea . "But the applicable statute does not consider intent. The full statute, 18 U.S.C. § 793(f), can be read here. “Section 793(f) makes it a felony for any person “entrusted with… information relating to the national defense” to allow that information to be “removed from its proper place of custody” through “gross negligence.” The FBI’s failure to prosecute Hillary Clinton needs to be revisited by the Department of Justice. It’s obvious that her exoneration was a foregone conclusion. The FBI just had to make it appear as if they had conducted an honest investigation." Three strikes kiddo - yer out

And if they handled their own money all they'd buy would be beer and popcorn. yeah - the libs are not afraid of proclaiming their contempt for the average canadian.

It's only "clear" to you because you're so desperate for it to be true Double Duhhhh. I understand. I've made you look the fool enough times, you're a little intimidated by me and so you convince yourself that's true. Hey, you know what ... if it helps you to feel better about the train wreck that is your life, you go right ahead. Wow. Literally nobody respects you do they.

Well as i predicted, it looks like the debate has gone in smith's favor It would now appear that the UPC is going to win with more than 50 percent of the popular vote, and they've got the momentum. You never can tell till it's over - voter turn out can still play a huge role. But right now it looks like the NDP just did not put together a good campaign. Campaigns matter so much and it looks like notley just thought all she had to do was not be smith. But that is NEVER how it works. She didn't really show up and when she did she looked tired. Looks like Danielle will get an officially elected kick at the can. We'll see how she does.

Do you think any of that JUST HAPPENED? do you think that until recently food magically appeared in the store? Yet our food wasn't skyrocketing before. Sooooo - what changed? because it isn't that food goes to distribution centers - it's been that way for about 100 years now And what about locally grown food. Why is milk going up, we don't import that it's all grown local. So it isn't transport I"m pretty sure we have wheat in Canada too. So what IS with that loaf of bread? Think about what you're saying before saying it next time

well here's my take. If you feel the gov't is doing bad things to vets then organize a group and get out there and get the public on your side. It's not like there isn't positive sentiment towards vets. Work with the political parties - work with the media - do the things that every advocacy group has to do and force change, You'd get a lot of support - hell I"D support that. Are you REALLY telling me that transgender people can organize enough to pull this off in Canada but our MILITARY SOLDIERS find it too much? I have a difficult time believing that women and gays can stand up for their rights but that's just too much effort for trained fighting men. In the end we have the gov'ts we have because people don't get involved. You're going to tell me you served your country when the MOST IMPORTANT task to do isn't getting done? And bad news - the gov't screws almost EVERYBODY. Ask the first nations how they feel. Ask westerners for that matter - i remember when it used to cost more to ship goods east than west to protect eastern farmers and industry. Ask albertans about the NEP. Tonnes of families wound up on OUR doorstep because they lost everything in their home province. Fortunately bc took them in and had work for them. But it's not like we had a lot to go around. How do you think gun owners feel about how 'fairly' we're treated right now. So with all respect, and understanding i have no beef with you per se - GROW A GODDAMN PAIR AND HELP DO SOMETHING TO FIX THINGS. And someone who comes here day after day to whine about how he hates this country that provides for him while he cowers and refuses to do anything .. sorry, that man is no man at all. And certainly not a Canadian. How can any man have respect for someone like that when all they've done is chosen to lay down and die when their country and fellow military need them? If there's a problem - we fix it. THat's what real Canadians do.

Wow. 16 whole years. None of us have lived that long. Doesn't sound like you earned crap. And it doesn't sound like you did anything for the country. You sold what services you had to offer and are now hiding under a rock. I call bullshit. i don't think you're loyal to anything but your pension. You're weak.
-
Men who built a country. The one who pretends to serve but then turns his back when the real work starts is the coward, sycophant crony and traitor. Sounds like you couldn't hack it and sold out. Sorry to hear you were too weak. The rest of us will do the real work of building a nation. You snuggle in behind your excuses and try not to tremble.

The left is the one restricting rights and cancelling people. They're the only ones who have actually cancelled books for example instead of simply keeping them out of youth libraries. Still don't know who she is. But - far be it from me to interrupt your fantasies. You seem to get off watching her and get off thinking about virgin males watching her. And there's NOTHING wrong with that - your'e free to fantasize about whomever you like. I can see why you'd be excited about incels - probably some of the only boys desperate enough to give you a ride if you ask nice LOL.
