  1. Not surprising. Married women tend to be more likely to support things like traditional gender roles, personal responsibility, lower taxes, etc. And more often don't identify as feminists.
  2. Trudeau definitely lies, but i do think he is genuine about social justice issues. He cares so much about gender equality he had to make up new ministries so he could have equal representation in cabinet.
  3. They are Eurosceptic, they want to end free movement, dissolve the Euro, keep the common trade bloc, promote traditional family roles, are pro gun rights, etc. With multiculturalism a failure, immigration driving low skill wages down making the poor poorer, and the leftist feminist drive to destroy the traditional family I can see the appeal But some of these objectives seem inconsistent, you cant have the EU and the single market without the Euro as the currency and the central government in Brussels It surprises me people keep bringing this up as a reasonable objective ? More and more people are seeing this as a mistake and wish to decentralize, return to old currencies and work as partners instead. People are witnessing the erosion of the things that matter the most to them(their people, culture, heritage and identity) and the EU is actively collaborating in its acceleration and people are getting fed up with it. A soft democratic process of removing political power from Brussels, abolishment of the multicultural project (which is ironically enough destroying our cultural differences), forced integration, enforced borders and a sound policy of return of refugees will alleviate the worst of sociatal grievances and ensure a calmer future for all europeans nations. Then they can finally make the necessary structural changes to make sure that their central banks are not privately owned and controlled by their governments instead in order effectively destroy the cancer called 'globalism' (for more information on the last part, i would like to refer to the documentary 'The Princes of the Yen'). If not, then we will be heading into a manufactured crisis with a resulting war and a final death in the vein of the poem 'The Hollow Men' by T.S. Eliot. You raise some good points that are relevant to you and your personal experience which I'm sure is shared by many others in the EU In the past I have been a little condescending by these types of comments and said things like " you think you want this but you dont really " ....but I'll explain in more detail what I really mean When you say " People are witnessing the erosion of the things that matter the most to them(their people, culture, heritage and identity) and the EU is actively collaborating in its acceleration " what if you gained these things by leaving the EU but the consequence was the crash or utter dysfunction of your economy? You see basically every person on this forum who lives in the EU has probably only known about life in the EU, its not anyones fault but you guys all live in first world countries where the EU and your governments are functional. You are use to this and unintentionally take this for granted You complain about lack of sovereignty and immigrant quotas being enforced and I understand these things matter but imagine a failed healthcare system, broken government institutions, high unemployment or a government simply not caring what its citizens think. This the reality many countries and there citizens face outside the EU I am not fearmongering but I cannot see how any current member state , outside the UK, could in this current reality of such tight economic integration leave the EU and gets it old currency back and somehow be able to sustain its economy outside the EU....the economic impact would be so severe to the average citizen it would almost unimaginable So imagine a failed economy outside the EU but you have your sovereignty back ...would it matter ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3773601/UK-economy-proving-doubters-wrong-says-Theresa-amid-signs-country-avoid-recession-Brexit-vote.html I think economic collapse isn't something that is necessarily a big concern.
  4. " Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa....the media is being unfair ....waaaaaaaaaaaaa " Volo blaming the media is like getting angry at Bioware for betraying gamers because they became more inclusive True enough. You can't fault a compass for pointing north. The media is mostly biased towards liberals. It's just how it is. You can find plenty of media of varying degrees of popularity and quality that slant right. You can tilt at windmills all day. The Wall Street Journal. U.S. News and World Report. Investor's Business Daily. Fox News. NewsMax. Breitbart. WorldNetDaily. The New York Post. The Washington Times. Etc.,.. Many people nowadays tend to get their news from sources they are already pre-disposed to agree with anyway. Check this one out, tell me what you think. I've been reading/watching for a month now. So far I haven't found a bit of bias, It's pretty straight forward & factual: http://www.oann.com/ Its not bad, it neglects certain facts like the fact the FBI found all or most of the deleted emails. We discussed this before, data recovery software works well in cases like this https://www.yahoo.com/news/fbi-finds-deleted-clinton-emails-112714810.html?ref=gs That story is old and inaccurate. She used Bleachbit, which makes the data impossible to recover. Try not to use year old stories as evidence. They get stale real fast. Edit: "The Hill" also seems fairly unbiased, although it's also a matter of which stories get coverage at all. When I read Breitbart, it's less that I like the conservative bias, it's that they cover the stories that interest me, which no one else covers. Actually WOD I can raise many inconsistencies and hyperbole based on fact about the so called " criminal behavior " of Hilary around this email scandal. I do this for a living and many things she has been accused of aren't applicable So for starters can you provide links about this " Bleachbit " ? So we can have this debate about facts but I dont think the facts really matter to you in this case? This is not attack on you, I just dont think you want your opinion changed It would be like you telling me " Trump cares about African Americans and there economic reality " ..... You can replace trump with pretty much any politician in that statement and it would be unsupportable. I suppose if you cynical and believe politicians lie that would be true but take your PM? Dont you think he believes in the importance of gender equality? Also when you hear Trump suddenly now try to be nice to the Latinos and African American it just sounds fake ....I dont believe a word he says I'm just saying, Democrats have claimed to care about blacks for a long time, but none of their policies have done anything to help them.

Why would you need a common currency to have free movement of goods? The EU as a trading bloc with free movement of goods within it and the European commission simply in charge of negotiating trade for the bloc is what most EU countries signed up for if I remember correctly.

  8. Barack Hussein Obama. Certainly not a fan of free speech (or any other kind of freedom) himself. I read somewhere that using an executive order to hand over government assets to foreign powers was a) definitely unconstitutional, and b) possibly treasonous, and that congress could easily block it
  9. New netflix original, Kulipari: An Army of Frogs. Its kind of luke Thundercats, only with frogs. Keith David plays Mamoo, leader of the Scorpion army who teams up with the Spider Queen to take down the veil put up by the Turtle King to protect the Amphibilands. Its a classic 80s/90s adventure cartoon. I love it.
  10. I look at it as getting the new Kings Quest for 10 bucks off and getting half of Sierra's back catalogue for free.
  11. Todd and the Book of Pure Evil has my favourite musical episode.
  12. I looked up whether he was still alive like 3 months ago and was surprised to see he was. Looked like a corpse though, so I didn't expect him to last much longer. Still sad though. The man did so much great stuff.
  13. I believe the CDC study didn't count "forced to penetrate" as rape. Or at least some major study on rape victims didn't
  14. Is that a show or a movie? It actually doesn't look too bad. It's a show, it airs on FOX September 21, 2016 Cancelled September 28, 2016
  15. I was already going to get it, but the character creation showing off the character art style sold me more. I like that the characters look like the promotional art
  16. Taking the boy to Kubo and the Two Strings later... Will update Update: I really liked it. Rivals Book of Life for best animated movie in the last 5 years.
  17. I don't often make soup, but when I do I usually make my own broth, then add a boatload of .
  18. A few weeks into the new warehouse management system at work. I'm starting to figure out the ins and outs of the system, I'm pretty technically minded, so it comes pretty easy to me. The system has caused us a ton of problems, we are shipping out what seems like about half of the product we were under the old system, because it takes so much longer to go through the process, and issues with the setup means orders sometimes have to sit on the floor for days waiting for a single item. Incoming shipments are a mess, as they are trying to set everything up virtually as we were the first branch to go online, so all our stock from toronto is still being picked and shipped under the old system. So half of what we get isn't in the new system, we have orders the computer doesn't know about, and we are constantly manually adjusting stock. Its incredibly inefficient and most of the staff consider it a disaster. On the other hand, I find fixing all the issues in the system much more enjoyable than lifting boxes, so despite it being a complete disaster for the branch so far, my job satisfaction has gone up, and the higher ups have noticed how well I'm doing with it. My old boss that was transferred to Edmonton called me asking for advice on how the system works and how to properly set up his warehouse for the switch and mentioned that I have been noticed, so thats nice. Hopefully once all the bugs are worked out, everything is online, and we stop shelling out twice what we spend on long term staff on temps, I can get a raise.
  19. You know Grom, you do have another option that is a viable candidate and on the ballot in all 50 states this year. Only three candidates can say that. Given your line of work that 3rd option might even be attractive. Yes the odds are long, but they are not zero and good things can come even from a loss this time. Just sayin'. our certainty that trump won't win needs be absolute before we consider voting for a 3rd party candidate. we marveled when folks acted as if sanders supporters and sanders himself giving clinton their support was some kinda mortal sin. "how could you?" how? why? 'cause the freaking alternative is trump. duh. if our voting 3rd party has any chance o' resulting in a trump presidency, we would be irresponsible in doing so. the good news is that trump will be able to accomplish virtual 0 o' his domestic goals. everything he wants to do is either blatant unconstitutional, or is a job for Congress or individual States. trump will be impotent, particularly as he is Not a consensus building candidate. liberals will be unified 'gainst him, and he is gonna split conservatives. doomed. bad news is that once trump discovers that his domestic efforts is stymied by his own nature and by the federal system itself, he will possible become more concerned with foreign affairs. the President has broad powers when dealing with foreign nations, and regardless o' what some believe, the US is still the most powerful economic and military force on the planet. trump as President scares us. he should scare you too. 3rd party? sure, just so long as chance o' trump victory is zero. HA! Good Fun! Foreign affairs and immigration are the only things I support trump on, and they happen to be the things he would actually have power over.
  20. I really feel bad for Americans this year. Hillary is everything everyone hates about politicians, Trump at first looked like a genius playing everyone, but now looks like he has no idea what he's doing, Gary Johnson is an establishment globalist pretending to be a libertarian, Jill Stein is an anti science feelz before reelz leftist. If I were American I would probably be voting Constitution party at this point.
  21. To be fair, I doubt a lot of left leaning sources are going to roast Politifact for being biased in favour of them.
  22. I really liked the boot camp part of FMJ, but once they got to nam it was much less interesting.
