oh my god how thick are you? It's not 'logic' - they didn't call THEMSELVES socialst they called themselves a democratic dictatorship - it's right in their constitution which is why it's funny. Nonsense. The state can simply oversee it on their behalf. That's what happens in the end anyway. Even in a democracy the workers wouldn't actually control the means of production directly, they would vote on who would do it for them. Just take out the 'vote' and you're at the same place. Someone will do it for them. LIke a property manager handling the property for his client. That's what is so insidious about socialism and socialists.

And he's spreading it! !!!!! Ohhh but you're not calling him a nazi - just saying he's Intentionally spreading nazi propaganda on their behalf! Wtihout being one! Well - you're not saying he ISN'T you're just saying we can't prove he is just because he willingly distributes their propaganda!!" Give me a break. You're calling him a nazi and not only is he not a nazi but neither is what he's talking about 'nazi propaganda At least have the balls to say what you're saying instead of trying to dance around it.

Well that sounds like a lie. I did a quick search and there were a number of media sources and his name was in about half. I did find SOME blogs but not many. And that's first page. I doubt your google skills are THAT much worse than mine. And doing further searches with his name gives more details. So instead of addressing the fact you were WRONG you'd rather just stick your head in the sand and pretend the world is flat. Do you wonder why people respect the far left less and less every day? I think you do more than it does. Sorry - but you're just dismissing it because you don't like it. There's no indication that paper plants entirely fake stories. Unless you have evidence that suggests it's not true then you're just being dishonest.

But it IS a democracy! Says so right in their constitution - a democratic dictatorship Joking aside - you don't need democracy for socialism. But the gov't IS the people. And that's no different in a socalist state. You're trying to label things and it's not quite fitting. What we CAN say is it isn't capitalism.

You literally just posted in your previous post it was 33 percent -double your little estimate there That's the problem with you - when you're wrong you just start pretending you didn't say things you very obviously did. If you have to lie to make a point, you haven't got a very good point. That was a harsh crash, many many people lost a huge hunk of their savings. But hey - lie about it some more and maybe the facts will change! Right? Thats how you guys on the left think isn't it No, those are people i've really met. Yours by your own admission are fake. And - the numbers certainly show there's going to be a lot like the ones i met. Ok - so according to you almost half those stocks went down by 50 percent, people own those stocks, but there's no way they could be down about 50 percent. Math isn't your thing is it. You're really just making yourself look dumber every post. Why are you doing that? Well no, that's not the only market where stocks went down that much. And tech stocks are very popular. Sorry kiddo - it's pretty obvious you're just crybabying at this point. You. And other liberals for that matter. Oh wait let me guess - having been proven wrong you will claim yet again you never EVER said that bitcoin was worse off than stocks especially compared with markets other than Nasdaq. Sigh. You're so predictable. Rats, you were right there. my mistake. Well even a broken clock Nope, in a lot of cases there isn't. Intellectual property that could become useless overnight, etc etc. And it's mostly based on speculation, not asset value. Nope. You're not entitled to them if they're retained. Go ahead -buy a share in microsoft and walk into the office and demand your share of the profits they didn't declare dividends on and your share of the assets. Not how it works. Which is not what you previously claimed at all. And most of that is true. The boc has done a lot of damage to our dollar which now buys less. Crypto being normalized would indeed reduce the central bank's influence. And Canadians should have choice Most of the world's currencies are capable of swinging that much under the right conditions. Sorry to burst your bubble. And honestly the statement doesn't even make sense - it might drop that much against the us dollar but far less against the canadian if the canadian is dropping as well and a reminder - it's still worth more than it was in 2019. which is more than we can say for the Canadian dollar. Normalizing it will go a long way to remove the volatility So - there you go. Sorry punkin You were wrong again It works fine and will only get better - IF that's what people choose to use personally. I realize as a liberal you're not fond of people having choice but, sorry - they should. It works just fine as an alternate currency same as any other currency and just like any other currency the more it's used the more it stabilizes.

They. Are. Not. The. Same. It's like saying you put a screw above a bolt and nut. They do different jobs - they are used in different places for different things. Your problem is you inappropriately conflate them. And to be honest that weakens your position because that's a sign of bad judgement, which calls into question your judgement regarding the scriptures

Not currently. They throw in 'hate speech' which is basically just saying you don't like something. Well that is always the risk. Having said that we do have our rights relatively well defined by the courts and such a law would require that someone else demonstrate how your speech hurts their rights to a judge, and that's a little less frivolous. But sure - it has the potential to be a problem.

I would tend to argue that it should go to the point where you're either putting someone's life at risk, infringing on a right of theirs, or advocating for harm or illegal activty

The term has been used, i wouldn't call it common use. There is a 'state of the nation" or 'state of the union' address that happens in Canada and the us and that term may get used slightly more. But i've certainly heard the term ship of state used in the past. Of course - there's only so many times you want to hear your country be compared to the titanic before you tune it out

Well thats actually considered the interior, the lower mainland would be more like hope/chilliwack out through greater vancouver and out to squamish. But pretty close - the okanagan isn't much of a car ride from me. No. No it does not. We chronically go through cycles of over spending which is then followed by periods of underspending to correct. The weird thing is we time it in such a way that the overspending tends to happen during GOOD times and the underspending then comes during bad times. The other way around would at least make SOME sense - but for whatever reason if the economy is good we tend to elect tax and spend gov'ts and when the economy sucks and we SHOULD be borrowing we have to tighten our belts. That's democracy for ya

Nobody believes you tried even for a second. It's easy enough to find the story is true. You don't need the name. You're just desperate to try to avoid the truth, "GIVE ME ONE EXAMPLE!!! " "here's an example.' "UHHHHHH UUMMMM er .. NOT FAIR!!! " Right. Go have your cookie and your nap. Oh - and your own link shows that that paper is not terribly bias. Right of center, not extreme or even right wing. So your claim that they're too bias to use is also in the garbage can.

NO, sorry but yet again you are incorrect. And i think i touched on this before - apologies if i'm remembering that wrong. China allows some individual ownership of it's industries BUT the gov't is SO heavily involved and controlling of the industries that it is far closer to socialsm than capitalism. As you say - it's not about the name its about the reality. THe state is required to own either directly or by proxy major shares in everything and control exactly what can and cannot be produced and what can or cannot be exported or imported. Capitalism requries a free market. in the real world nobody does pure capitalism because it would have issues, they have a slightly regulated free market to ensure a level playing field. The chinese have no free market. SO what they've got is a socialist economy with capitalistic elements. VS something like ours which is capitalistic with socialistic elements. But you coudln't say china had a capitalist economic model.

Define it yourself. You will anyway - whatever definition i provide you'll claim its something else

Well then i guess there's no nazis anymore because these days nobody thinks its the jews. No, you're not. That's not how logic works. In fact - based on what you've said it wouldn't even be CMCT anymore. It's like saying if you think the gov't should have some control or regulation over industry then you must be spreading communist propaganda because communists think the people should own production. NO - that's not how it works. It's just SO wrong it's disappointing that i'd need to explain it.

No. That's dumb. Faith shouldn't be a substitute for reason for ANYONES reason or fact - facts and reason stand on their own divisible from the individual. Sigh. and the dumb continues.... Well that's great but it's still no substitute for reason or facts. If you came to me and said "the sun will rise in the west tomorrow because my bible said so", i would point out if that's what your bible says your bible is retarded. You can say "no no no no - it will because that's the truth as i understand it" to your heart's content but it won't change the facts. Biblical faith is not a replacement for facts or reason. AND in those cases where what we are talking about is about belief rather than facts or reason'd logic then - you have to recognize that it's YOUR belief and everybody else's beliefs are JUST as valid if 'belief' is relevant. First - the liberal world view has NOTHING to do with facts and very very little to do with reason. Second - 'world view' is not relevant. A fact is a fact regardless of your global stance. Gravity is a temporal distortion which causes objects of mass to move towards each other. That's a fact. It's the same fact no matter how you look at the world. Look at it any way you like, that's still what gravity is. Do not confuse opinion and belief and facts and logic and reason. They are not synonymous. Opinion and belief do occasionally have a relevant spot in discussions but you cannot substitute them for reason or facts.

Awww muffin - considering how often you crap yourself here i'd expect you'd be more than used to the smell Sigh, No brains AND no sense of humour. You must be the life of the party.

The lower mainland in bc. It's a chronic problem. There was an article in the paper just before the pandemic about one hospital taking over the starbucks and keeping patients in there (I'll have a colonoscopy and a late pls. I mean the jokes write themselves. ) This time it was pretty bad, only those who needed specialized care were in rooms, or people who were going to be there longer term, but those who were there for 5 or 6 days were in the hallway. Well the problem is we've got some of the funding coming from the feds, who can turn down the taps whenever they want, but it's the provinces who wear the political heat for it. Before we had "universal health care" we still had it - it was just entirely provincially driven. The federal plan was supposed to make sure everyone could get the same services in all provinces and would fund it because that way it helped provinces who weren't doing so well and shared the cost a little across all the provinces. But they raised the taxes to pay for that - then stopped paying for that. NOw the provinces can't really raise the taxes to cover it because the fed taxes are so high but they don't have the money to provide the services.

It really varies. Some places that's true, some the opposite is true entirely and some lack both. I recently had to spend time in the hospital and the hallways were absolutely lined with gurneys full of people because there were no rooms. It's like that in most of the hospitals around here these days. So - what that tells me is the real problem with our system is it can't adequately adapt to the needs of the communities. They don't hire enough staff, over here they don't build enough facilities, over here they don't have enough seats for training so there isn't staff, over here, etc etc etc. Private healthcare is much more flexible and tends to produce the right amount of care and the right staffing levels with much more accuracy. Which is why you tend to see a bit of a blended system in most places around the world. We're actually in the minority - most places have some private care mixed in with their public care.

But in this case the school was NOT open to debate, or even discussing it with him. So all they had left to force discussion was protest. I'm not a big fan of protest as a method of change at the best of times. I don't think it's been an effective tool for the most part with a few exceptions. But - if it's all you got left ... Kennedy had a saying - "if you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable". And that would seem to apply here. Denying him the choice of having a discussion about it forced them to more extreme lengths like a protest in order ot be heard.

You did not explain it at length in the slightest. Or at all. It cannot be done. Brilliant minds have tried for generations. The states tries harder than anyone else ever has and even THEY admit it's not possible to make sure it NEVER happens. It does happen even tho them. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/sentenced-to-death-but-innocent-these-are-stories-of-justice-gone-wrong And the COST of trying to prevent it is insane. No rational or intelligent person can look at the facts and suggest there's a way to make sure it never happens, other than not doing it at all. Lock them up, throw away the key, let them die alone and out of society. THat's the best we can do. And i did not forbid you talking about your faith. But if you bring it into the discussion, you're going to get made fun of and not taken seriously. Your faith is not a substitute for reason or facts.

Which turned out to be true Which has been posted. Sorry for the inconvenience Who. The vast majority of stocks are down, and as i pointed out the number that have lost 50 percent is at an all time high. So the vast majority have lost money. Yes - but yours are just lies made up in your head with nothing to back them up. I'm talking about real people and have posted the stock market reports that prove that this is happening to people. So sure you can lie. we knew that about you already. Sooooo - i was right. More than 25 percent. Imagine that. And bitcoin has vastly outperformed stocks many many many times. Both assets can go up, or down. Bitcoin actually has the better history for going up. Ahhhhh - actually, YOU chose nasdaq. That was YOU who decided that's what we'd look at. Remember? Now some how YOUR choice is MY fault. Not if you look at the 5 year performance. Many times bitcoin outperformed stocks by a longshot, Take a look for yourself: https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/price/ if you bought bitcoin 5 years ago, your investment is doing much better than the average for the stock market that's for sure. It's still up higher than it was in 2020, and its climbing. Soooo - yeah. Actually a good performing investment over all. And it's going up again. Real estate prices are down to right now - but up since 2019 or so. Is real estate a cccrrraaaazy stupid investment too? Sorry kiddo - any way you look at it you've lost this one. Bitcoin has done very well for those who've invested in it for the most part, and it's performance does go up and down just like stocks and other higher risk investments. It's no different. No you're not. There's no requirement for most of those companies to do an audit, and there is ZERO guarantee they'll share their profits. MOST go without declaring dividends in any given year. MOST of the value in the stock market is in speculation. FURTHER - there's ZERO guarantee the company will have profits to share. WE're about to go into a recession, so many of those companies will be taking a loss. And not only will you get no money for the 'profits' but safe bet your stock values will go down. This is NOT some sort of secured loan. It's high risk speculation. Well you could say the same of a dollar bill. What does it do? PUt it in a drawer and 10 years later guess what you've got - a dollar bill. Yet - people trade in currency all the time speculatively. And bitcoin is becoming a lot more standardized as a unit of actual payment, which gives it a special value. So just like anything out there, because it is limited in amount and actually does have some value it's perceived value is high. Sure - stocks are not a currency. BItcoin actually is a currency so that would make more sens but i've never heard anyone suggest we should change bitcoin to our nations currency and get rid of the fiat dollar. Have you? You sure didn't hear that from PP. He DID say it could be a hedge against inflation and in fact RIGHT NOW that is actually true - it's going up faster than the rate of inflation. But like the stock market it's speculative and volatile so really it's no better than the stock market as a 'hedge' over time. Real estate seems better for that.

the ultimate moderate Oh no doubt many people are prioritizing it differently. But - if we're JUST talking about whether you save money renting vs owning, then what i suggested holds true. And to each their own - but what does anger me is that those same people who DIDN'T care about owning a home and securing their living space will often be the first in line to scream about how nothing's affordable and homeowners don't deserve the equity they've built. Well it gets worse even than that in most areas - there's no money in building a rental building anymore. The only time rentals get build (aside from some specialized luxury rentals) are when govt's force the developer to do so as part of a zoning deal to let them build more strata condos for sale. And that' s very limited. So most rental construction is ACTUALLY condo construction that then gets sold and then THAT person rents the unit out - so all the costs associated with the condo PLUS the developer's profits PLUS whatever the homeowner wants on top get built in, and rents go up accordingly. Not really. Housing prices were actually considerably lower 5 years ago. In additon most people's incomes have gone up at least a those 5 years. The people who are in trouble are the ones who bought 2-3 years ago - those guys are screwed. Their mortgages will be coming up right in the middle of the high cycle and they paid more money than they can get these days if they sell. And they've had no time to pay any significant amount down on their mortgage, s0 they won't be able to remortgage over a longer term.

LOL - you appologize for being arrogant and then go on to be unbelievably arrogant. YOU BELIEVE that god is the one true god. And that's fine. But you DEMAND others accept that as truth. That is not fine. Even god didn't force people to believe in him. Apperently you know better. And it would seem you aren't the slightest bit sorry for your arrogance or rudeness.

Of course you require the obvious stated to you. It is in question as to when a fetus becomes a human being. Prior to it being a human being there is no 'baby' to "kill". So with no real compelling evidence it becomes a moral issue. And what i'm saying is the moral issue should be left to the mother or at least the parents. Not "me". Or you per se. The law. or it doesn't and i can't. Ownership. If i own nothing else in this world i own my own life. The question is - is it moral to make that decision for other people? Now the way you've explained your brain thinking i'd guess you'd say "well it's in the bible", take some verse out of context and demand that we force everyone to convert to your religion because their beliefs are wrong otherwise. But - history doesn't look fondly on such things as the spanish inquisition. So i question how moral your views are or if you're actually able to speak to morality effectively considering .
