  1. How can you hate Muslims if you've ever had shawarma?

      Since I don't have any,I guess I'll just have to go ahead and make my own decision. I'm sure it will be good, but it will be the first shawarma (and I've had many) with turkey in it.

  2. Trudeau: "I have one daughter and there is something very special about imagining a woman prime minister. I think it’s long overdue."

  3. Trudeau not moving into 24 Sussex right away, it needs $10m in renos. They could buy 5 sprawling mansions in Ottawa for that price!

      I believe Harper was PM during the expensive renovations to the parliament buildings. I don't recall anyone screaming bloody murder.

      On my screen it shows as a different font, but not caps.  Are you seeing caps?  

      And where on the graph is the warming higher than it is now?

      @ dialamah arguably we were warming faster from 1970-1990 than the past 20 years, but that's still up for scientific debate.

  6. Charles please stop locking threads for trolling/drift without even giving a friggin' warning in the thread. This is so damned frustrating.

      Because that would be racist, Kimmy.

  8. Maybe MLW needs one of those "safe spaces"? A place where posters are forced to debate with respect & courtesy to each other, with no trolling either. Wait, uh wasn't that MLW 10 years ago?

      Were conservatives on this site ever able to defend their positions without trolling people by changing the topic to the debater and saying they have HDS or BDS? They've always been like that.

      Conservatives aren't the only trolls on MLW.

  9. Why are politicians who are "pro-life" largely the ones who support the death penalty, increased military spending, access to healthcare based on how much $$ you have, & the right for citizens to own assault weapons.

      "Probably not as much potential damage as ignoring GW, and the tax hasn't hurt BC."

      How can you make such a statement without specifying the level of taxation? Perhaps the cost of a $1/metric ton CO2 tax would be less than its benefits, but this might not hold if the tax level were $10000/metric ton.

    3. On Guard for Thee

      On Guard for Thee

      Well it's $30/ton in BC, revenue neutral, and has reduced CO2 emissions 6%.

    4. -1=e^ipi

      -1=e^ipi

      That information isn't sufficient to determine if the effect of the tax is overall good or bad.

      I think the wall was gonna work out to about ten billion in 06 dollars when Bush was getting stupid.

      Actually some of us do care about the violence that is going on around the world!But when you mention Margaret Thatcher,George Bush (both)Obama,etc,etc or pretty much any other western country,the focus suddenly turns into something else to distract.

      Pliny and Squid are on to something, people care more about what affects them the most, and proximity has something to do with that. We also care more about people of similar cultures to ours. AW I never said I cared LOL.

      My opinion is that if Canada goes to war, then implement a draft and bomb everything in sight.

      If a draft is unnecessary, then the war is unnecessary.

      Well, if you actually care about this and make a thread, you will immediately be trolled, the deflections will come out, the reverse blame game, the mental illness argument, anything they can do to change the channel. The moderators allow it of course.

      The cops got the N.Y. suspect in a shoot out. One less terrorist to worry about... a few more to go

  17. Both parents need to work & they pay to send baby to be raised by complete strangers during the most developmentally important years of their life so they can afford nice things that parents could mostly afford on 1 income 40 years ago (with less debt). #progress

      Having children is not an directive, entitlement or a mandatory act. It is a decision based on your wants, needs and financial ability to parent children properly. That has never changed.

      It is not the "nice" things that is a problem, it is the basic necessities like food and housing. The flat my parents rented for $60/month in the 60's is going for well over $1500/month today.

  18. Saudi Arabia has passed Russia as world’s 3rd biggest military spender. So: USA (one third of all spending), then China, then the Saudis, then Russia

      China has even more but no one seems concerned that we're funding it by buying stuff from China.

      "Officer, I have a conceal carry permit and a weapon in the car, what would you like me to do".  That's all that was needed.  I feel for the guy, but when you say "i have a gun" and then proceed to start rummaging around....well?

      I don't relish the tasks that the police have to face from time to time in their work. Especially dealing with drunks pouring out of bars at closing time and having them puke in the back of their patrol cars. But that cop in Wisconsin is a murderer as far as I'm concerned, I'd maybe let him off with manslaughter. But acquittal? Bullshit! How often are US cops going to get away with such unnecessary violence?

      Libya is now half-run by Islamists/ISIS. A month after we started bombing ISIS in Iraq to fix America's mistake we suffered 2 domestic terror attacks by ISIS supporters. Need I continue? Harper also supported 2003 Iraq War, luckily he wasn't in power then!
