Saw this picture, and I knew it reminded me of this site and this thread lol...

[TorontoGold]

Ah, got it. This all too complicated for me lmao. Us heathens up here only got a federal constitution in '82....

[TorontoGold]

We have a non-partisan agency that runs the Federal elections (Elections Canada), it answers to the parliament so I guess by extension it can be subject to some partisanship but less so than a typical crown corp.

Would it be possible for the US to have a similar setup?...

[TorontoGold]

You know, this is an opinion piece that is upset with the NYT, right? It's claiming the NYT is misleading people with data. Read that article before getting all hot and bothered.

Anyways, booooo NYT booooo Cuomo! (A place that employs Maggie Haberman, and a guy who writes a book about...

You don't see any issue with using "negro" in the year 2007?

Personally, I look forward to when David Duke dies and people refer to him as the guy who ran the organization that adopted a highway in Georgia. You know, love him or hate him, he put forth an effort to help clean...

You can go through this and see an awful lot of things were said quite recently. https://people.com/politics/rush-lim...rsial-moments/

2007 - “Barack, the Magic Negro,”

I mean....that really wouldn't have been something good to say in 1988, let alone 2007....

[TorontoGold]

He was before my time so I didn't know about some of his antics, but the AIDS update stuff is pretty egregious.

People didn't hate him because he was for traditional conservative values like fiscal responsibility and smaller government, it was because he was homophobic and made racially...

My second year of uni, we all took a utility to put under our name and the guy who got gas as his didn't want to put the security deposit down.....We went until mid-Feb until we had heat in our apartment. The thermostat sat around 45-50 for most of December and January, and we huddled around stove when...

I'm late 20's so maybe around your age too? I think somebody thought I was an old crotchety man way back lol[/QUOTE]

I would rank the main three as such:

1.Hinge - Cream of the crop, the way it forces you to "like" something on their profile makes the match more interesting....

[TorontoGold]

I'm sorry you feel like a victim, I wasn't directing my comments to you, as you can see I did not respond to you. I have no issue responding to you if I want to make a response to you :)

It was a general comment about how there is rhetoric that illegals come across the border to wreck...

[TorontoGold]

Yeah, the "one life is too many" card is selectively played.

I just want to know how the rational behind the thought "immigrants cause crime", trying to give them the benefit of the doubt instead of just "Brown people are bad, they commit crime"....

[TorontoGold]

Did a really quick search on papers/studies that looked at the correlation between crime rates of illegal immigrants and native-born citizens (people born in the US). Of course big disclaimer that the studies are like the first three I saw so it's not meant to be "aha! Got ya!".

Everyone! Stay inside! Except! If you want to come to one of my high roller events! It is jokes though, a lot of people rightfully lose their minds if Gavin Newsome breaks quarantine. Trump holds huge rallies? Uhhhh media bad?

lol Elon Musk has desecrated one of my former fave artists....

[TorontoGold]

Just a poor example on my part. Meant it as "nobody bats an eye when a paid promo for Popeyes goes up"....

[TorontoGold]

Sure, but a private organization should be allowed to promote whatever business that uses their platform however they see fit. Seems anti-capitalist to regulate their promotional choices....

[TorontoGold]

I think that's fine because they're giving exposure to black owned businesses. No different than them promoting Popeyes. Also, you're not forcing every person to support a black owned restaurant, whereas in Blazers situation you're forcing a black person into an awkward spot....

[TorontoGold]

Yeahhhh that seems really weird and an awkward thing to do. I can't imagine anyone would like that.

One of the overreaches of faux progressivism through tokenism. Cringey af too....

[TorontoGold]

How come?...

[TorontoGold]

This isn't really anyone calling her a QAnon supporter unfoundedly. I don't think anyone is calling Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger/Ben Sasse Q supporters. Hell, I don't even think Gym Jordan is a Q guy.

It's a lot easier to say "Ya that person is bad, wish they didn't believe in bad...

[TorontoGold]

Think this is important. A sad world in which one side hopes the other is cabal of child predators/...
