| Canada is meeting its NATO obligations, to the letter. :roll: No, we aren't. Not by a long shot. Can you back that up? Defence Spending: At the Wales Summit in 2014, NATO Allies pledged to invest more and better in defence – to stop the cuts, move towards spending 2% of GDP on defence by 2024, and ... |

| The EU law is going to run afoul of the US laws regarding Fair Use which make it legal to use copyrighted material for non-commercial editorial purposes. And when the EU tries to impose their law on the USA I expect President Trump to tell them to go fuck themselves. Lol. Yeah that's not how the In... |

| This isn't about corporations. This is about the EU government in Europe that wants to silence dissent. There's that extra chromosome logic again. They're protecting copyrighted information, not silencing the free press, or crushing thought. It's about corporate profits. Yeah, you keep telling your... |

| But I have to say, if you stop resisting and lay down like a normal human being when a cop tells you to, you don't get tased 15 times, you don't get punched. If only it were that simple. We've seen that people who aren't resisting get that treatment, and people who are victims of mistaken identity ... |

| About the only positive is that I doubt any other nation would come to Canada's aid militarily. You can't be serious. We're so well-liked around the world, I'm pretty sure we'd get immediate help. If not from the Commonwealth, then other allies. -J. I find it highly unlikely that any nation would a... |

| The investment needed, to survive the next war, isn't a military item. It is a civil one. I'm with you on that. The best defense is not causing a war with other nations. And as someone else posted, Canada is meeting its NATO obligations, to the letter. And while we're on the subject, lets look at a... |

| You know, I find most cops to be atrocious drop outs on a power trip. But I have to say, if you stop resisting and lay down like a normal human being when a cop tells you to, you don't get tased 15 times, you don't get punched. You get handcuffed. But hey, why not add a resisting arrest charge to wh... |

| I wouldn't buy it. Wouldn't buy anything with a swastika on it either. You sure about that? I ask because an awful lot of companies use swastikas in their logos. Chase Bank, Columbia sportswear, Sun Microsystems, etc. all use stylized swastikas as their corporate logos. Look around when you're out ... |

| Newsflash. If we started doing this to anyone who ever had a racist, sexist, or outdated thought, every single one of our grandparents, parents, and yes, even you, would be banned. Someone needs to round up all these social justice warriors. If only there was some means of containing them all, like ... |

llama66 llama66: The goddamn vodka is not linked to genocide. Its fucking vodka. I guess all Russian's and Germans are linked to genocide?
And Canadians and Americans (Natives), and just about every other flag on earth at some point.
This PC bullshit has got to stop. |
