    It's like with brexit, people will vote for Trump as a form of vote of no confidence to current establishment.

    Pretty much. Then again the growing dissatisfaction with the current establishment, elitists and globalists has been growing for over a decade now. That they don't seem to understand that people are voting for him and like what he says precisely because they are so pissed off will likely fly over their head. I wouldn't be surprised that if Trump wins, we'll see a slew of articles saying "this is why democracy is a bad idea" and "this is why average people shouldn't vote." Just like they did after the brexit fovte.

    If you think that the BBC is one of the finest and high profile institutions around, you spend too much time in news bubbles listening to things that only support your viewpoint. The fact that the BBS has been investigated multiple times for manufacturing the news and carrying a bias contrary to the truth should tell you a lot more.

    You have consistently failed to demonstrate that they changed the emoji because "it hurts some special snowflakes feelings too and you're too afraid of a PR disaster to do anything then what the loudmouth whiners are screaming about".

    Haven't been paying attention to the news in the US? Maybe you should start. That's where you'll find your proof, maybe try google news? I see a couple of dozen stories there.

    In fact, Microsoft just did the opposite.

    Yep they sure did, and in the press outside of regressive echo chambers they're being lauded for it, an in turn seeing a larger groundswell of support for it. Meaning they've generated more good will then Apple.

    You're surprised by this? I'm actually astounded at just how much the entire media establishment(US, CAN, UK, EU, etc all the big publications) is against Trump. It's literally frothing at the mouth hate of Trump, and they still don't understand that it's their actions, and the actions of the left that have catapulted him to the top. And these many months in, they still think that this stuff is going to work.

    Keep going boys. At this point, I'm hoping for Trump to be elected just to watch your heads explode because your self-fulfilling echo-chambers broke. Maybe then you'll learn what journalism is vs editorials painted as journalism....or the entire media infrastructure will collapse and we'll enter a new era of actual journalists who report on issues neutrally again.

    You do know that the cable companies(Rogers, Shaw, etc) used to run around with signal sniffing vans to see whether or not people had decoders right? That was legal. The same way that you could and can still be served with "theft of a telecommunication service" if you have a US satellite dish here in Canada. Those are still illegal, even if you are legally paying for it. There are many parts of the charter that are flimsy as fuck, and S.1 is that giant gaping loophole that let's the courts turn around and say "but for the greater good..."

    Kinda like how the RIDE program is actually illegal, but the courts ruled that unlawful searches in the name of society is permissible.

    If the BBC just proved that they need to be completely destroyed they just handed their anti-BBC crowd the ammunition to do it. Bet it won't take more then a few weeks before people start making honeypots to bait them, and wouldn't that be very fun to see in court.

    They don't have to accuse, SJW's actually do it.

    Like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and like this and this and some more of this and more stuff like this.

    And I've just started, that's from the last week or so. So let's fix that: Any time someone mentions SJW, they're pointing out that the left is full of regressive children that want to ban anything that doesn't fit with their very narrow view of the world, and will do anything to ban, block, censor or attack(physically/emotionally/virtually or IRL) you in any form in order to make it happen. And the left has a serious regressive problem today, just like the right did back in the 70's and 80's when the extreme-right were firebombing abortion clinics or assaulting gays. Today it's environmentalists burning down property or letting animals from testing labs loose, or groups other groups(like BLM, 3rd wave feminists or the modern anarchist movements) doxing or swatting people in order to silence them and/or operating smear campaigns and labeling people as misogynists/sexists/etc in order to scare them away or silence them, or to make them look so bad no one will take their side.

    The SJW's label wasn't invented by conservatives. It was invented by regressive slacktivists who believe that feel-good-activism is awesome, they used it, carried it around, presented it as it's face. And when the normies came along, they realized that those slacktivists were nothing but entitled upper-middle class or upper-class children(aka young adults to middle-age) who were whining about 1st world problems, or posting trendy hashtags to virtue signal about their 63 genders and screaming about pro-censorship and pro-authoritarian positions while saying "it hurts my feelings." So people who act as pro-censorship, pro-authoritarians are now called that, and they're throwing a hissyfit. And in most cases it's also a regressive out there that whines about "why is this derogatory label invented by conservatives" does everyone a favor by showing that they're ignorant of where it all came from and what happened.

    Don't like it? Tough. SJW's are the current face of the left. You want it to stop, then clean up the left side of the political discourse. Get rid of your pro-authoritarian, pro-censorship, pro-violence children like the right did in the 80's and 90's. Because as soon as it was cleaned up by the right in the 90's, the left took right over and decided to create the special snowflake class of perpetually offended who can't face the real world, and believes violence is the answer to problems. Just like those abortion bombers back in the 70's and 80's(or the BLM/anarchist/etc people of today).

    No, it's more likely a point on the state of Canada's privacy laws which are incredibly stringent compared to the US and some parts of Europe. See here in Canada, there's sections in the privacy laws(both federal and provincial) that require storage of personally identifiable information to remain within the government agency. It's so stringent that unless there is written permission from you, one government agency can't transfer it to another.

  16. Haha exactly.

    Sure is. Now let's go reverse the genders in what I said earlier shall we? Why are you such a strong supporter of misogyny?

  17. What the hell does marriage have to do with sex? I get that you guys hate women. No wonder you aren't having sex.

    Well let's see, most people want to go from just hooking up to starting a family at some point. The problem is that even if you're just going for "just sex" and she lies(whether it be BC, that she's pregnant by someone else, or you're just the unlucky person at the end of the train in a random hookup), or something else comes along you're forced into an involuntary marriage at the behest of the state and paying pretty much forever. Ever wonder why there is such a huge push all of a sudden against alimony(be it from marriage or co-habitation) from womens groups all of a sudden? No? Well that's easy to answer, it's because alimony has started in the last year to swing towards being equal. Meaning that women are now being forced to pay.

    FYI: There's no hate for women, but I'm sure glad you can make conclusions out of something based on what? Nothing? This is current reality of the world and how the laws have become weighted towards one sex vs the other. I know, that hard critical thinking stuff is difficult for some people...but with luck you've learned something today and how messed up the current system is.

    Well keep in mind that it looks like their son was at least a pro-constitutionalist as well. His father? Not so much. Khizr Khan also openly supported sharia law, and wrote several papers on how to subvert american jurisprudence and legal code to replace it was sharia as well.

  19. it isn't because they don't have money, sex is cheap, it is convincing the girl to have sex that can get expensive.

    Not only that but it's the current state of laws, courts and child protection services. You'll find that it's men compared to the women who are mainly not giving a shit about it all. If you get married and have kids, the man is likely to be the person paying child support even if the women makes more. They're also more likely to be paying forever to the women as part of the settlement even if she makes more. She on the other hand will likely never pay a dime back in the other direction. Top that off that in child custody, if the women was a stay-at-home mother, and was a substance abuser, abused the kids or anything else. Even if she worked and wasn't the one taking care of the kids but the man was, they're more likely to hand her custody anyway while denying financial support. You're starting to get a list where it's not worth it at all. And then you can start getting into the stuff that even if you're not the father of the kid and it was a one night stand...you're still likely going to be the one paying. For a lot of men, all of that isn't worth the risk, hassle or anything else. And you can see all of that happening at your local family courts.

    One of my friends was threatened by CAS(for Americans that's like child services), that if he didn't quit his job he would have no parental rights and would advise the judge of such as their position. This was after they'd been split, she was heavily abusing drugs and had attempted to whore her 12 year old daughter out for more drugs, the police had intervened on the case(she was criminally charged with sexual exploitation, possession of child porn, manufacturing of child porn and a couple of others) and both kids wanted to be with their father instead and CAS still threatened him. Now we're getting into the "why the fuck would I even want to deal with this shit" realm.
