Still waiting....

I guess that means that you have no proof of your claims, and pulled it out of your ass. What else is new....

What I meant, was a reliable source for your claims. Some random blogger does not count.

Still waiting....

Still waiting for your sources....

...still waiting for the sources I asked you for, that claim companies who treat workers horrible, with high turnover and poor morale, outproduce companies who treat workers good (full benefits, incentives/rewards for achievement, etc).. You do this all the time. Make a ridiculous claim, and fail to provide sources to back it up. Show us, Nationalist! I dare ya!

You tell me, since you seem to have all the answers.

This Mt Cashel scandal was major news in 1989-90. In fact, the CBC produced a movie called The Boys of St.Vincent which was broadcast in late 1992. I had never heard of any sexual abuse scandals involving the Catholic Church at the time, and this predated the American scandal (Boston) by over a decade.

I will give you as much time as need be to provide sources for this dubious claim, especially since I can find at least 20 studies that prove this is blatantly false. If you want a shit product from a country with no human rights, one can obtain it. India, China, and other places with poor human rights often produce massive amounts of goods for the West. The problem is, that these products are of the low end quality, and the product recall is exceptionally high. Compare that to a country like Germany, France or Italy, where they enjoy full human and workplace rights. The Germans, in particular, are known for their meticulous detail, and high customer satisfaction. Most First World Nations are. If you want the cheapest products on the market, I am sure one can find tons of goods imported from Asia and Africa, where the iron fist and intimidation rules the workplace. It does not mean the products will be any good. Quality always wins out over quantity.

That's funny. Despite the lack of technological advances, and the secrecy of the Holocaust by the Germans, the New York Times ran a story, that correctly stated in December 1942, that 3 million Jews had been exterminated, mainly in Poland and the Soviet Union.

Ok now you are just trolling. A high turnover rate nearly always means that the best and most productive employees leave for better jobs. Who do you think does a better job- an employee with 20 years experience or 5 months experience? And yes, I worked years in a manufacturing plant. I did a 4 year degree in Occupational Health and Safety, and a significant part of our course was workplace psychology. You are clearly lying, and I no longer will be dignifying your posts with a response until you smarten up.

Thanks for verifying what I had said. As far as I know, most US soldiers who deserted during the World Wars, and were condemned to execution had their sentences ultimately reduced to jail time. There was a famous case of Edward Slovak, who was the only soldier who did not have his sentence overturned, as they wanted to make an example of him, during a an American offensive in France that ha a very high casualty rate. 306 British soldiers were executed for cowardice/desertion in the First World War. 25 Canadian soldiers were executed for desertion/cowardice in WW1.

Post of the week nomination.

Death tolls: 500,000 Russian casualties of war, according to Newsweek as of May 31, 2024. IIRC, 1 in 3.5 Casaulties of War are fatalities, so this would mean Russia has lost nearly 150,000 people as of June 1. Ukrainian losses are estimated to be between 75,000-100,000 soldiers/civilians. Unfortunately, the exact number of Ukraine casualties is hard to determine, since some sources put out estimated Ukraine military deaths, while others include civilian deaths. It was estimated in February 2024, that over 31,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed. The number of casualties of war is rising dramatically in 2024, considering Russia and Ukraine have exhausted nearly all of it's soldiers with fighting experience (most have been killed), and is relaying on new or inexperienced personnel to fight the war. How is that any different than most countries? This is been Standard Operating Procedure for centuries. Until Vietnam, the US used to execute soldiers for cowardice. This is complete bullshit. Even when the Nazis (who ere the most vicious and evil regime in World history) got desperate, they did not change their tactics much. The Russians have raped and murdered hundreds of women and children, tortured and executed hundreds of Ukrainians soldiers, and kidnapped an estimate 10,000 children, and are targeting Ukraine's infrastructure (hospitals, nuclear plants, etc). What more could they possibly do? The Russians threw in the towel against Poland after World War I, as Poland ended up annexing a significant amount of Russian land. Russia threw in the towel against Afghanistan, a much weaker nation, after 10 years of occupation. The Russian even threw in the towel against a tiny breakaway republic of Chechnya, until the second Chechnyan war a few years later. So what you are saying, is you will stop supporting Russia, since they may ahve no end game, if they cannot annex Ukraine? That is the situation with the Russian military, and explains why they have been fighting a war for over 28 months, that was supposed to be done in 72 hours. It depends on the source. It's best to dispel any Russian or Ukrainian figures, since obviously they are going to inflate the casualty rate of the enemy, or downplay the causality rate of their own army for propaganda purposes. However, the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, CBC, and other reputable news agencies are not far off from the actual number. Nearly every psychological study regarding war, says this is not the case. The United States, Western Europe, and Australia ahve some of the most competent soldiers in the World. If anything, knwing that one can be murdered by their own army for failing to follow instructions almost always has a negative effect on morale, and military performance. It's the same in any aspect of life (i.e workplaces, etc). Companies are more productive when they reward their employees for good performance, rather than threatening them with termination if they do not meet their quota. FYP

..or Russians tire of the war, and the hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties. Yesterday, you insinuated that supporting Ukraine was the position of the "left"...lol. I've also noticed that you exclusively talk about Ukranian morale, casualties, etc like they should throw in the towel. Do you not realize that the casualties ratio favors Ukraine by 2:1, and the Russian morale is at an all time low. And please don't tell us "Russians don't care, and will literally fight to the last man. Wars in Afghanistan and Poland in the 20th century have proven that theory false.

This is a pipe dream. Russia is never going to agree to let Ukraine join NATO, or honor any agreement that protects Ukraine from future Russian aggression.

So let's just go with your idea, and have Ukraine surrender. Since surely the Russians won't commit a slew of war crimes, up to, and including genocide against Ukrainian civilians in the aftermath. *facepalm*

Today Russia deliberately attacked a Children's Hospital in Kyiv. A Children's Hospital. The Ukrainians are literally fighting for their lives, and it's obvious to us that are not brainwashed by Russian propaganda. that if Ukraine surrenders, as you would like them to, it's becoming very difficult to argue that the Russians will not exact a terrible revenge of the Ukrainian population. Please stop with your bullshit about "Russian blood spilled." It's intellectually dishonest, and cowardly.

Once again, you make a claim, then get called out for it. Instead of attempting to show us all the land Russia has captured in the past several months, you go on and on about nothing. I am beginning to feel like I am in a Seinfeld episode.

Oh for Chirst sakes... Ukraine has lost the equivalent of land that would make up `1% of the "gigantic" state of New Jersey. In other words, a completely insignificant gain by what was supposedly the World's second most powerful military. Unless you consider the outhouse at Yuri's farm, a major military victory. Douglas MacGregor and Scott Ritter don't count. One is a drug addict, and the other is a child-luring paedophile. You need to find a better source than the "Scott and Dougie Clown Show."

I find it ironic and unintentionally hilarious that you keep mentioning how Ukraine does not have the population or manpower to fight for too much longer, and when it is pointed out that the Ukrainians lost just over 1% of what Soviet Russia lost in WW2, you do a 180, change gears, and say "it's irrelevant to talk about war casualties. You have some bizarre ideas about different ethnic groups. You seem to think Russia will fight to it's last man, yet you are implying Ukraine will need to surrender, or in your words "negotiate" with the Russians and Putin soon. PS...it should be noted that the vast majority (90%) of people that fled Ukraine were women and children, not military aged men. Somewhat ironically, the majority of Russians who left their country did so to avoid conscription.

This is about the most convoluted and ridiculous analogy of the Ukraine War I have heard from anyone on this forum, and that is saying something.

Don't feed the trolls.

This is common sense to most people. Doing the right thing has nothing to do with "right or left." One powerful country invading a smaller country without provocation is illegal under all International laws and codes. The fact thar you associate support for Ukraine with "the left" just proves how out of touch with reality you are.
