That's half this forum, sadly.

If it's topical or thoughtful, sure. When it's pages and pages of theatrical jackassing? Naw.

What does that have to do with this thread subject? 😐

No, I don't. I make fun of you, because you're even dumber than Trudeau. They are not the same thing, but like I said, the nature of your disability prevents you from understanding it.

Probably not at all, despite Trudeau cutting UNRWA funding. That's the nature of centrism. Who are the Muslims going to vote for instead? Poilievre, who's even more anti-Gaza? I think we're already starting to see that, and will probably see more of it. The student VISA program has been greatly curtailed, and this will (hopefully) end up being an election issue. I don't know how realistic it is, but I don't really disagree with it. If we can do that, I think we should. I don't feel that we are responsible for rescuing peoples from messes of their own making. Case-by-case refugee reviews are a waste of time and taxpayer money, and there has to be a better way. Agreed.

No. I think Trudeau is a dumb fool and I've said next to nothing positive about him, ever. Pointing out that you're much dumber shouldn't be confused with support for Trudeau, but the nature of your disability is such that it leads you there anyways. 😑

No, I'm suggesting they exert influence, especially in the United States. I don't really care what you call it. Muslims, or immigrants? The question still remains, who are these Muslims voting for? For the record, I'm somewhat with you on the immigration file. I think we need much less, and much much less from certain regions. The problem we have is that we have shitty economic and tax policy, and we have made it difficult and expensive for young adults to afford houses or have children. A declining population is bad, as we can see in Japan and Russia. If we aren't having enough kids, we need immigrants, and where are we getting them from? Mostly from shitholes where people want to leave. That's going to come with baggage, unfortunately, whether that's Chinese or Indian influence, or Muslim sympathies.

Are you suggesting that the Jewish lobby in North America isn't vocal/powerful/influential, and that it hasn't exerted its influence on the Israel/Gaza conflict? Sure, but what does that have to do with their voting? Their saying they aren't going to allow MPs into their mosques sounds a lot to me like if the trannies told them they couldn't come to the drag shows. They probably weren't planning to anyways, and who are these Muslims going to vote for if none of the parties are supporting Gaza?

Insisting that I'm the one having an emotional breakdown while you respond to my one-liners with angry walls of text is...awkward. 😐

So if the Liberals aren't supporting Palestine, and the Conservatives aren't, and the NDP isn't, who are all of these Muslims going to vote for? Are they abstaining? Are they going to vote for the New Brotherhood of Canada party?

Okay? I've already said I'm probably voting for him, and that I think Trudeau is the worst PM we've ever had. That doesn't make you any less cringe. 🙃

You obviously don't get it, because once again your fragile ego demanded a wall-of-text response, and it offered nothing but more clueless projection and limp insults.

Yeah, we know it's non-news, but it's funny to see PP playing for the dumdums in his audience who don't understand, whilst his office has to play damage control after the fact.

The "reality" of an American invasion is that it's a pretty silly thought-exercise.

Isn't that what you've been saying Putin has been trying to do all along? 🙄

Gaetan looks like athos, under a different name. 🙄

You still don't get it. I'm trying to save you time. All the energy you waste pounding out essays insisting I'm desperate and pitiful is underlined by your pathetic compulsion to write them in the first place, especially when you know I'm not going to read them. You may as well be writing in your diary, but you just can't help yourself!

No, did you? Is that the most important point here -- the specific word count, or the fact that a sentence or two can set you off raving with a half a page of copypasta insults? 😆 Is this because of your incredible predictive powers, or because when you sit there raving and projecting your fragility on others, you actually understand that your post count proves you have absolutely nothing else going on in your life?

No muppet, my exaggerations are not what get judged. It's funny imagining that you actually counted it out, but what's getting judged are your longwinded diatribes offering nothing but recycled, puerile insults. Who do you figure is actually reading it? It's like your venting into your diary, but in a public forum.

If you're concerned about hoarding, don't be. The US has more gold hoarded than anyone. Global economies outgrew a gold standard a long, long time ago, and it can't function as a real currency anymore. There's not enough of it. Switching back to a gold standard would mean everyone would hoard it instead of spending it, and you'd see deflation everywhere.

Now you're re-tweeting Mad Max. 🤣

They realize what sort of person I am, because you get so worked up and bothered that you're compelled to pound out 1200-word rants about me? OKAY! 🤣

What do I make up? That nobody has ever had less going on in their life, and more time to post here than you? That's an objective fact.

Maybe, but how do we know if this person has a dangler? Maybe it was removed? Is the issue then, "No penises" in the female changeroom?

I was just going from memory. The point was that gold hit a low back in 2000 that hadn't been seen since the 1970's, and using that as a starting point for performance is a cherry-pick that's misleading. As I explained, gold is worth almost 20% less today than it was in 2011, while the S&P has quadrupled in that time. As I said, Warren Buffet is a value stock-picker. He looks for stocks that are profitable, and priced well. Right now, the market is priced at the top (too high). It is difficult for Berkshire Hathaway to find value in that environment, so they let money sit in bonds or cash and wait for the market to correct downward amidst a (likely) light/moderate/short recession. At that point, he'll load back up on the cheap. He's not predicting doom for the economy.
