Well the one thing you've said here that gets universal buy in and is often quoted is your comment that politics is not a line, it's a horseshoe. Such things are really the realm of the totalitarian rather than the left or the right per se, authortarians on either side will see the 'advantages'...

You would think that was true but this is not the first time for that and they absolutely do still claim racism as a factor in such cases. They just say the police officers might be black but they're taught to hate their own kind by the white-dominant system. This and a few similar ideas have...

It does not say anywhere in there what you personally can do. It specifically was in reply to your comment: "At a hockey game one voices ones freedom of expression with boos and cheers. " We were discussing booing because of someon'es political posiiton. You made the above statement...

LOL - their sublte forms are "anything we don't like but can't come up with a better reason for so we say it's racist but can't quite articulate why... it's THAT subtle!" We all know the whole thing is a lie. The problem is two fold - those on the left (and some on the right) are perfectly...

Are you claiming I did tell you that? If you're at the point where you have to lie to make your point, you probably didn't have a very good point. sure thing comrade!!! :)

Well i suppose technically he still can but i'm not sure they'd notice one guy with a hockey stick charging their border crossing... Not as well as he'd hoped i think. Then again, he didn't bring any hockey sticks and that may turn out to have been a fatal mistake.

For the hockey, yes. Not for the political opinions of the hockey players as expressed outside the hockey game. You boo or cheer for a good or bad play, not a good or bad political position. Did you think they were polling the thoughts of the crowd on putin? Yes. You are free to mimick putin...

Not to be a jerk, but that's not an expression of free speech. IF he says something good about putin, and you say something bad about putin or challenge his views, that would be two people expressing their free speech. You attacking him because you didn't like what he said is not free...

So what you're saying is that it's not Zelenski's efforts but rather the electrical grid from the donbas region that's winning the war? Or are you saying that until they take back all of donbas they're still losing? That wasn;t quite clear from what you wrote.

it's not even remotely close to a declaration of emergency. Like - not even a little. It's actually the 'other' most popular political angle, one used effectively by Obama in his race: "things need to change". Is there something you're unhappy about my friends? Is something in your life less...

At the end of the day you're always going to be able to manipulate body cams a bit - and they were yelling 'give me your hands!" after they already had them to create the audio impression they were hitting him to subdue him. Body cams are great but they only do so much. Far better than nothing...

Also you earn points that you can cash in for a free set of steak knives! (well... not really but it sure feels that way some days).

It would seem that flight tends to end in death a lot more frequently. He shoudn't have run the first time - you can only take your licks and then file a complaint and go after them after the fact. If they get worked up they can very easily beat you to death, as is the case here. Fortunately...

Ahhhh yes. Welcome to trudeau's canada.

the guy might be a slimeball who supports a slimeball but as long as he's not supporting putin while wearing his uniform or on official team media sources then honestly it's not right to ban him. When you fight monsters it's always important to be careful you don't become a monster, and...

Well like the illegal immigrant version is, sure :) Or like the unvaxxed, or like the irish, or like how if blacks had their freedom they'd rampage and none of our womenfolk would be safe, or lets not forget the commies (warren commission) or the gays and transvesties. Or the christians, or the...

Well... keeps us on our toes doesn't it :) That's always a good thing survival wise :) I haven't actually studied the cause of those things nearly as much so it's a little harder to say, but frankly a trait where the person is prepared to do anything for their own happiness and survival...

Porcus beleive, but... well lets not get into it...

Well - slightly derrogatory reference but yes. Essentially that is the benefit. And also provide resources for the children of the men who don't come back from that war even if the war is won.

Yes, but traits that FAVOR survival tend to be promoted and passed forward. There is little doubt that having a percentage of the population being gay helps the survival chances of the species. And not just ours, we see "gays" in several other species and it tends to have the same effect. But...
