"No kids allowed!" -- Children in Restaurants
Bob Macadoo replied to kimmy's topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
Well the other morning I had a group of gentlemen referring to that "rag on that woman's head" and "we're probably feeding her children". Like minded gather. That's limbo-ing under the bar though right?- 276 replies

What about those who every second word is Mufti or as their viewpoint runs parallel to yours their zealotry is OK with you? This is how you become insular in your ideological bubble. I don't even have our "6 deg of Uncle Sam" contributor on ignore even though I strongly suspect they are an intentional traffic generator on this site. I occasionally see some informative data that I may miss otherwise.

Why do we have pogey and foreign workers?
Bob Macadoo replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I've always agreed seasonal tourism jobs should not be subsidized by a federal program. If provinces want this seasonal employment that only benefits their province then let them fund it. Interprovincial exports are another matter. We benefit from those products (fish & timber). Then we should just accept that we don't want these seasonal products. Alberta well companies are having a hard time attracting talent back and thats not seasonal just boom/bust. If I can find other employment.....I'm not coming back to hew your wood. -
Bernie sanders vs Ted Cruz on CNN
Bob Macadoo replied to blueblood's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
If health records must be private for candidates.......can't there be an objective health risk score......like an actuary would create if you were getting insurance. -
Subway to sue the CBC for $210 million
Bob Macadoo replied to Boges's topic in Media and Broadcasting
Exactly. So for Subway to win they would have to show that there was bad faith on the part of the media.....ie. didn't contact for a rebuttal, knew the chain of custody for their tests were tampered, etc. This is Canada.....trying to collect on slander ain't that easy like down south. See the Beaches restaurant vs Rob Ford. Apparently you claim bribery with no evidence.....ruin a guy and become mayor. -
Subway to sue the CBC for $210 million
Bob Macadoo replied to Boges's topic in Media and Broadcasting
It's not interesting at all save for the gov't angle. Press has made a claim based on best possible diligent evidence......corp doesn't need anymore bad press (eg Vogel). Yawn. The only thing that is interesting is Subway likely thinks gov't doesn't want to be in court over this and will settle early. -

Bob Macadoo replied to Boges's topic in Media and Broadcasting
.....or chill litigation doesn't work on a gov't entity. -
That's infallible logic except....... ........to be accurate if the other party came out and said "We don't believe in what that other Party stands for.......they believe in rhetorical absolute statements about all animals being unharmed......we believe animals that personally attack humans should be dealt with.......appropriately for each situation......" then you might've had a point. No one has stated that alt-right has been rejected by this one election, but its a better situation than the alternative......

Wynne says Hydro rates an "Urgent" Issue
Bob Macadoo replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
It looks like they're going to do what all politicians do.......sell the future to fund the present. Reduction in the infrastructure financing portion of your bill meaning they will let the grid rot again. Also moving the poor rebate from you power bill to your tax bill. Shell games.....politicians first love. -
How green power is costing us tens of billions
Bob Macadoo replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Hydro electricity is appropriate if needed. Large scale hydro must have a demand. Problem with both BC and NL is they approved these projects when they thought they could just shunt the power to the states for big money. Now delay/interest costs are killing them (just like Darlington Nuclear). $50 oil killed all of it. They all banked on "Drill baby drill" to be a joke. It's better to downscale projects; small river projects....tidal farms....etc. That way you get what you need....not what you can sell. -
Ontario's Sunshine List is Out again
Bob Macadoo replied to Argus's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Please cite where doctors are shown to be anything more than successful private business people (if they own a practice). Practice Non-partners are not overly rich or successful, they are employees. Get rid of fee for service and the gov't would need to set up a whole new clinic system......feel that grip on your cojones? -
Nice. Work in = Work out.

America under President Trump
Bob Macadoo replied to betsy's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Yeah....he acknowledged it 6 months ago......8 years indeed. -
Actually she said she can't keep up with her mortgage. Her stories are all over the place. Carbon tax or no she's looking for a cardboard box or she's exaggerating.
-
She said she works 15 h/day.....70 h/week.....and only has $65 left after a pay cheque. Math magic there. I suggest she not use her toaster to heat her tent. Oh and I wonder who was covering for her in the salt mines while she was at the townhall?

Should a Murderer be allowed to keep his job?
Bob Macadoo replied to Boges's topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
Should this be considered in sentencing.....that he waived the ability to have some time served in order to complete these scheduled surgeries? -
President Trump's cabinet

Thus Week in Political Correctness
Bob Macadoo replied to drummindiver's topic in Political Philosophy
My opinion of Caledonia is immaterial. It seems to you however though because Christie has made a mint about a topic that is good clickbait. Mainstream media is most definitely not immune. Check CNN out. They are the Vince McMahon of political media......incidently his wife is in cabinet after running the WWF.......appropriare skillset. -
Thus Week in Political Correctness
Bob Macadoo replied to drummindiver's topic in Political Philosophy
How many discussions have you had personally where a truly solitary innocuous statement has a person running for authority? It's funny how people who hear their echo don't question the pecularity of it's pitch. -
Thus Week in Political Correctness
Bob Macadoo replied to drummindiver's topic in Political Philosophy
Don't shutdown debate....but her book was another agitating outrage piece......don't confuse her writing as journalism.....its an essay.....if it provokes discussion great....people however have used it to confirm their opinion......and that's all. -
Thus Week in Political Correctness
Bob Macadoo replied to drummindiver's topic in Political Philosophy
There's nothing wrong with that lesson.....so long as it is followed by.....and you are sometimes wrong and sometimes you have to work out your feelings on your own.
