Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.

I'll never understand that logic... No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we're gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant

I remember when we used to laugh and ignore people with these default-generated Reddit usernames... What a stupid community they've become. If you can't take the few seconds to create a username, you're not there for anything more than spamming bullshit.

I don't think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:

  1. The Liberal platform didn't contradict itself every point or two

  2. The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.

I don't see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.

I think it's for show. "Look, we tried. The problem isn't Canada."

Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?

Use a generic "what do you think about prayer in public schools?" survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol

If that was true, then we wouldn't see people bitching about the cold while I'm out in a t-shirt and jeans in 50°F weather. Seems fucking stupid to base a measurement system on something so subjective.

Nah, there is no strawman in my point. Speeding is not an issue - especially on streets that have gone from 80 down to 60. Of everybody on the road, speeders are the least of my concern, even before I had my license though back then there was also far more bitching about slow walkers, too.

Sorry you don't have the reaction speed to handle driving a vehicle at a moderate pace. I hope you stick to side streets for your own safety.

Nah, I'm advocating for people using the currently designed system to not be a bunch of slow and distracted morons.

The topic of completely gutting current city Laputa and restructuring them to be designed for pedestrian traffic at the forefront would be ideal, but was not the topic being discussed.

Sure, if you're going to make the city fully designed for pedestrians and cyclists, with proper public transit connecting cities that would be fantastic.

Shit, Europe also has the Autobahn, but we'd be fucked if we tried to have a highway like that over here.

Hundo, and if the person I let in front of me drives like shit, I'll hope that there isn't also an idiot blocking me in so I can get around them.

They can't understand, much like they can't process things when driving 80kmh. They are, no doubt, one of the people doing the limit in the inside lane with 0 intention to pass the car beside them and get back into the appropriate lane.

But here they are telling us how everybody else is a problem.
