In Canada we just call that the Don Cherry look.

How exactly is that “PC run amok”? Nobody was threatened, shouted down, or treated disrespectfully in any way. All that happened was a comedian didn’t get as many bookings as he felt he should have, though he still got what the article admits is a “respectable showing”.

I think we as a society need to stop letting shitty people co-opt whatever they want and make it off limits to regular people. The alt-right shouldn’t just be able to “take” Pepe, and I’m still bitter about the Nazis ruining the swastika and toothbrush mustaches.

Paying for healthcare through taxes doesn’t just “mask the payment” though. It also allows for people to pay an amount which is tied to their income. In Canada, for example, you don’t pay income taxes on your first ~$20k or so, so the very poor do, in fact, get free healthcare.

Can this happen in more than just Jeeps? Because I have this memory of something like it happening in my friend’s early 90's model civic back in highschool. She got into a fatal car accident a few days later, and I’d never really connected the two events until I was just thinking about it now.

I don’t know why, but the part of this photo that bothers me the most is that you can clearly see where they raked his footsteps away in the sand.

ITT: People who think that soap kills bacteria.

Based on some very quick research, it seems like circumcision in North America was quite rare until the early 20th century (unless you were Jewish). So chances are Wolverine was never circumcised.

No borders sounds pretty utopian to me. I’d even argue that it’s necessary for a true utopia.

People do describe the middle ground, and the opposition ignores the nuance and shouts “COMMUNISM! SOCIALISM!”.

Hahaha, wtf are you on about? People criticized Trudeau’s campaign for being TOO sunny and refusing to attack his opponents. I never heard anyone calling for Harper to be jailed, I don’t even know what you’d charge him with. If they did call for it, it certainly wasn’t because Trudeau was encouraging it like Trump…

See, the problem with the progressive states seceding from the union is that you’ve then just left the world’s most powerful military and nuclear arsenal entirely in the hands of the red states.

Are you seriously saying that Trudeau was elected as “Canada’s Trump”? Because that is the most goddamn asinine thing I’ve heard all day, not only because he literally has the opposite stance of Trump on nearly every social issue imaginable, but also because he was elected back when people thought Trump was the kind…

He is worrying about Canada. In case you didn’t read the article, or have literally no understanding of what a nuclear war entails, a nuclear conflict anywhere on the globe could seriously fuck things up for all of us. When you have the power to destroy the whole world, it becomes the whole world’s problem.

I don’t think he’ll personally do something that will kill us all, but there have been times in history when the fate of the entire world has hinged on the President’s response to a catastrophic situation. I have very little hope if such a situation ever pops up again.

Actually, while your husband is correct that it’s mostly a shot for shot remake of the book, the critics are also correct in that it somehow manages to miss the entire point of the Watchmen graphic novel. Watchmen is supposed to be a deconstruction of a lot of superhero tropes, and while it is pretty violent, it’s…

In general, pretty much all evidence says that the biggest factor determining your socioeconomic class is whatever class your parents were in. Doesn’t matter what choices you make, for the most part, all that matters is if Daddy had money.

I don’t think that’s really the case. The way I see it, it has more to do with the fact that uber-powerful bad-guys always seem to have wafer-thin motivations and rely on their power too much so they never have backup plans (or really any plans outside of “overpower the good-guys”).

I’d like to see them try Hockey.

As a lifetime sit-wiper, I’d like to assure all the seemingly horrified standers that I have never once accidentally touched the water, or anything in the toilet bowl, while wiping. You really have waaaay more space than you think you do. If you have enough motor control to trust yourself driving a car, you can trust…
