I did not read the rest of your post, because the first paragraph contained a most egregious mis-statement that appears to have been made on purpose.
That comedian was most definitely NOT referring to recyclables or anything else in the ocean EXCEPT Puerto Rico. He did NOT just say, "Puerto...
Sadly, you've missed understanding that @Twilight Hue thinks himself to be one of those who know best what it takes to be a good President. It's all about who would make his life better. The rest of the world is not part of the equation.
I'm telling everybody, if you can spend a large portion of life listening to the people Trump chose to speak for him at this even in MSG, you will be horrified beyond your wildest imaginings. Some of it is completely demented. The disgraced Rudy Giuliani was by no means the worst of them -- and...
As you might be aware, atheists have a hard time understanding just what God is -- because the more Christians, Jews and Muslims we ask, the more conflicting answers we get!
Why don't you give us your version: the nature of God; God's purpose for the world; God's impact on the world; what...
So, finally, after more than 5 hours, the Orange Gasbag speaks.
And so, for his first assertion: "I'm going to end inflation."
Simple enough promise, but he doesn't say how he'll do it? I mean, American Republicans certainly don't want wage and price controls -- that's gotta be off the play...
I answered "no." I think most of the time, people abandon a debate when they are finally bored with answering the same unsupported assertions, only to know that they'll be asserted again, and again without support.
On another forum, some years ago, I instituted a real debate sub-forum, where a...
Not only that, but the disgusting sexual inuendos! WTF is this doing in a political rally for President?
"These Latinos, too, they love making babies -- just know that. They do, they do. There's no pullin' out. They don't do that -- they come inside, just like they did to our country."
I...
Watching (with great distaste) Trump's rally in Madison Square Garden -- where 4 hours in, he still hasn't shown up. Flipping boring!
But couldn't help noticing the slogan all over everything: "Trump Will Fix It." What?!?!?
Donald Trump's career as a businessman is a litany of successes (not...
Life is something possessed by many, many more organisms than mere humans. Some of those organisms are beneficial to human life, some are antithetical to it, and others simply peripheral. But it is all life.
It is my view, formed over a lifetime of thought (and based largely on the brilliant...
I hate it when people can't just look at the numbers and admit that they're exaggerating.
The vast majority of abortions occur during the first trimester of a pregnancy. In 2021, 93% of abortions occurred during the first trimester – that is, at or before 13 weeks of gestation, according to...
Then Americans must find ways amongst themselves to disarm that threat. My own poor recommendation is to find means to shut down the rabble-rousing demagogues and their lies. Among the most effective of those is to stop paying attention to them. Instead of "Trump this..." and "Trump that..."...
I am aware of Canada's imperfections -- but I wasn't focused on those at the moment I wrote. I did say "in large part." And I am aware that many Americans are just as nice. My Grade 9 roommate at boarding school -- who I still keep in touch with after all these centuries -- lives on Mercer...
In large part, I do think it's different in Canada. We are not the same as Americans, not even remotely. For the most part, we embrace our immigrants, and celebrate with them, as you can see by visiting any of our annual street festivals -- Festival of South Asia on Gerrard Street East, Greek...
Not always, it isn't. Not amongst decent people.
I can remember once, quite a few years ago in 1993, when Canada's Progressive Conservative Party created an ad featuring a badly exaggerated Liberal Jean Chretien, with his mouth comically askew. Well, Chretien suffered Bell's palsy, and did have...
I wonder that so few are able to see the obvious: the side screaming "election cheats" all over the place are the ones actually doing most of the cheating.
But let's not forget that one of the reasons they are not as rare as we'd hope is that too many Americans object to talking about sex in an honest and open way with their children -- or letting their institutions of eduction do it for them.
Knowledge, and acceptance of the reality of human...
