First, they're doing zero-skill, minimum wage work in the first place. Second, they're getting another 20-30% in benefits. The average minimum wage worker in the private sector dreams of a defined benefit pension plan like they have.

I can't remember the exact numbers, but Canada Post delivers less than half the letter mail it did at the turn of the century, but has maintained the same staffing and infrastructure under today's reality. It's wasteful and inefficient now, and any efforts to adjust it have been met with militant union action. The average letter carrier gets paid $52,000 (plus benefits) a year to do half the work they had to 20 years ago.

Thanks Shady! Keep us updated on this very important news!

The objective reality is that you've spent more time on this forum BY FAR just insulting people and derailing threads in the last 2.5 years, than I've spent in total here over 17 years. Let that sink in. I put very little of my time or energy into this forum these days. I open it up and see the same dumb topics posted by the same screechers over and over again, and I generally just SMH, close it and move on with my life. The thread about CPP age eligibility piqued my interest but BEHOLD, you're being a belligerent tool there as well. You've spent the last two years delivering tens of thousands of insults to strangers on the internet. Give that a moment's consideration and perhaps you'll realize how much of your life you're wasting. 🙃

It's absolute comedy that you take yourself seriously saying this, when you can rarely go more than the first page of a thread doing exactly what you describe. In answer to you question though, yes, I do lots of other things. I have a job. I have a family. I go outside. I play sports. These are all far more important to my ego than what happens on a internet forum, though I understand this be confusing to an all-day-everyday internet warrior like yourself. I guess this is another example of me following you around though, right?!? 🤡

You are arguing with a homeless man who posts from a library computer, FYI.

It's a sad commentary on what this forum has become when the top/most active thread is about one poster airing his grievances about...another forum. 🫠

It's like you're talking into a mirror. 🤡

Random comments about black people....right.... This is the intellectual void you've scurried into. Good shit. 🤣

Show us on the bear where the "other forum" touched you shady.

I was never really there in the first place. Tell me the last time I posted anything there. Imagine getting so worked up and upset on one forum that you have to complain and air your grievances to strangers on another forum who don't know or care anything about it. 🫠

You don't seem to have much self-awareness.

You're complaining about the "other forum", while writing wise prose like this? 🙄

Poland invoked Article 4, which IIRC is to get NATO folk together to discuss things.

Again, you need to read what I am actually saying. I never said it didn't happen, did I? I asked how often it happens and how widely it occurs. Your own source tells us how uncommon it is, and how rarely it's cited in a world with 50 Muslim-majority countries and 2 billion adherents.

Except for the hundreds of years that Catholic canon law formed the framework of European law, and how the various monarchies based their authority on the Biblical/Divine Right of Kings? Sorry, but your facts are as mixed up and cherry-picked as your reasoning. Well which one is it? Am I "desperate", or am I "smug"? Am I both at the same time? 🙄 I don't need to be an expert on Islam to point out how obviously uninformed you are on the topic, and how nonsensical your generalizations are. If being a best-selling author makes you an intellectual, let me introduce you to the brilliance of Donald J. Trump. 😆 The worst part about all of this though is that you're literally, with a straight face, trying to tell me that you've informed yourself on Islam from Douglas freaking Murray, board member of the Israeli funded NGO Monitor, who you've also been citing on this forum. If there was any question of what came first between your opinion on Islam and any actual knowledge of it, it's this: International Advisory Board:

...and yet here I was, participating happily without you. Have a great weekend all by yourself, arguing with strangers on the internet. 🙃

Because you're too scared of me, r-right? 🤣

There's a saying about id*ots and not arguing with them. Maybe you've heard of it? 🤡

Never said it didn't happen, did I? What do you figure you're answering here? The question, again, is how prevalent and widespread it is? How often are women stoned in the Islamic world. Again, if Islam is all for stoning women for adultery, you should be able to cite some statistics pretty easily, and not need to cite Iran as far back as 1992, or the freaking Taliban, who I doubt anyone here would ever in a million years defend. Just another sign of your inferiority. For all your efforts, you're still not on the list. Btw, why are you following me no-life? 🤡

Another bozo for the ignore list.

The difference in timing doesn't change that you were categorically wrong that it was never part of Christian "Law". Clearly there wasn't anything inherent in Christianity that stopped it. Except not at all. You're being very specific in your claims. Except you don't seem to know anything about it. A trifecta of pseudo-intellectual edgelords, performing and saying provocative things for their audience and to get invited on the talkshows or Joe Rogan. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but this list suggests you're the type to be impressed by the likes of Jordan Peterson as well. 🙄 It was a pretty simple question. If the Islamic world so widely believes in stoning women for adultery, and there are over a billion Muslim women, you should be able to provide plenty of evidence of stonings across the Islamic world. Where is it? I already know the answer. I think you do too, and that's why you won't answer.

...and then there's everything else about him...🙄

I mean, if they're that utterly clueless and out of touch, best of luck to them. Is it any surprise that the NDP was shut out completely from Ontario and it's manufacturing hubs? What a joke.

So no women were ever burned by the Church for witchcraft etc? Your logic is as mixed up as your facts. You can speak about them all you want, but a brief moment of objective reasoning would suggest that the larger the population size, the more ridiculous it is to generalize about them in all but the broadest terms. Because they don't. As I've said, you've done almost literally no critical reasoning on this topic, with your prejudices informing your opinion and nothing but. With all of the nattering you do about Jew-hating and anti-Semitism it's crazy that you don't see how utterly ridiculous you make yourself look with your overt and persistent bigotry and ignorance about Muslims. It's a gauge of your ignorance. For all of this talk about stoning and whatnot surely you have some idea about how frequent and widespread it is? After all, according to you all Muslims support stoning people for adultery. It must happen all of the time then, right? 🙄
