  1. It's every Western nation. I'm from Canada. Pray for me.

  2. The statement was a statement of opinion to even if the student decided that it was still bigoted, but they came to it honestly through their own conclusions, then, fair enough. I don’t care what someone’s conclusion is in any matter of opinion, so long as they come to it honestly.

  3. RFK Jr is by far the best candidate for POTUS. It's not even close. I don't agree with him on all his policies but I know a good man when I see one. He's also humble enough to admit when he's wrong, like he was about the border crisis. He went there and got educated and changed his mind. I think he's the real deal.

  4. BC still requires an injection for a staff? Yeah, it's insane. That people were denied EI even though ungodly numbers of people got the CERB illegally and nothing is coming of it.

  5. What the boy said has gone viral, but I'd like to hear what his parents think about this.

  6.  @GhostSal  People are capable of justifying damn near anything that helps them.

  7. I think everyone accuses everyone they don't like of being a grifter. I'm not buying it. I think these people have drunk their own Kool-Aid and are so deep inside their bubbles that they believe what they are saying. You can't come up with words salads like that off the cuff if you are purposely putting on a con.

  8. Vivek Vs RFK Jr is what the election should be in America. Two actual good, decent people with different views running for president.

  11. Him refusing to answer questions during question period, with that smug look of his, should be banned. You should be forced to answer questions. Anybody who sees this type of behaviour and still supports it is lacking integrity.

  12. That’s literally no different than saying you would only hire students from there. That’s what interviews are for. Denying somebody specifically because they graduated from Harvard or somewhere is just as ideologically driven and insane.

  13. As a guy who just moved from Sask, it’s fucked that the premier fully admits that the restrictions were about public sentiment and not safety or science. I’m very happy he’s making a decision but I still want him to explain why they were there in the first place.

  14. Almost all people who are very wealthy, are clueless about it. It's understandable. If you've had no contact with some thing for 30 years, you're not really gonna be able to understand it on a visceral level.

  15.  @killazilla44  "Jobless is the biggest factor of homelessness you don't need to be a genius to figure that one out since money is the key factor." Vancouver's homeless problem has gone from a "traditional" few small blocks on the east side of downtown to an overwhelming spread in that area that's many, many times bigger than it was 20 years ago. The main street downtown, Granville, used to be vibrant and now every night it's filled with homeless people chillin in front in little encampments all over. Right now in Vancouver, as has been the case for years now, stores give poor service because they can't find workers. Stores are desperate for people to fill vacancies. When the Canadian gov't was giving out checks to people during Covid, there were places offering good money and nobody wanted to go. It is not a lack of jobs. At least not here where I live. There are nothing but jobs to be had here. They aren't 6 figure jobs but for damn sure there's full time employment for anyone who wants it. I'd say it's a good parallel because Vancouver is a sister city to SF. They are as close as two cities can get and have roughly the same feel. Vancouver is also very progressive, and also has growing homeless problem so if jobs are certainly not the problem here, then I question if they are for SF.

  16. That's like how I once had a meeting with a guy from an investment firm wanting me to invest in a startup. He looked me dead in the eye and in all seriousness leaned in and said "My philosophy is to buy low, and sell high". Gee, thanks tips.

  18. What's funny is I guarantee they see formal education as a 1:1 with overall intelligence, as if a degree in linguistics means you understand foreign policy better.

  19.  @douglasjones2570  the comment was about white guilt and colonial guilt etc. How white people are expected to give reparations or atone for things that happened 100 years before they were born.

  20. The soft bigotry of low expectations.

  21. I'm so jealous. I'm Canadian and I'd leave here in a second if I was able to. It's surprisingly hard for Canadians to move to America.

  22. If Trump was in office and Hamas held Americans all he would have to do is get on TV, look directly in the camera and say “You have 48 hrs to release those hostages or else”.

  24. What's interesting is that what you wrote goes both ways. I could easily see your exact comment being used by someone who is very enthusiastic about the vaccine.

  25. Yeah, out of touch that people aren't down for someone spreading a message of measured positivity. How everyone can be shitting on him is beyond me. This was the first interview of a politician in ages that hasn't pissed me off. I'm pro weed (well I hate the stuff personally but I get why legalization is fine) and I'm not religeous but overall this guy gave me a great impression. I guess people want sound bites and outrageous promises. That's how you ended with the last two tire fires in your election. You get what you deserve.

  26. 100%. I'm in Vancouver which is SF lite, and I work in the worst part of town (Hastings St) and things don't get reported all the damn time simply because we know the cops will come and do nothing. Sometimes they literally don't come at all. A guy tried to stab a security guard and then spray pepper spray into his little shack to flush him out. When that didn't work the guy tried to kick the door in. They called the cops who said "That sounds like someone with mental health issues. There's not much we can do. The guard asked if they could come by anyway just to take the statement. They never showed up.

  27. Are you telling me that every time someone has an opinion you agree with talks about something that you check up on, then judge them based on their academic credentials? I doubt it. It goes both ways, DG. That doesn't make you a "bigot", but it does kinda make you hypocritically closed minded. I don't mean that in a harsh way at all, I'm sure you're a good person, I'm just trying to make you aware of your own biases before calling others out on theirs.

  28.  @gregg6398  Sadly no, Pepsi is not any different at all. They own Frito-Lay which owns Doritos and they said, regarding BLM "There's never been a community that needs a megaphone more than now". Really? Nobody has ever needed a voice more than black people in 2021? They also announced a 7 figure donation to the cause. You can't avoid it man. Boycotts are basically impossible since almost all major corps do it and they own friggin everything. I stopped my personal boycotts for this reason. It's like trying to stop a waterslide with a beach towel.

  29.  @officialWWM  he’s one of the most respected scientists in that field, and he’s one of the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration which Fauci himself vilified in the media. He has taken his lumps for standing up for everyone during Covid. I will defer to his world-class expertise.

  30. It's because he has an army of robots who are programmed just like he is.

  31. 2:20. I love ya Dave, but this is your most off-base video I've seen by far. Don't get me wrong, I hate Bill Gates with a passion. I think he's evil, but in this clip he's trying to decrease mortality rates. When you do that, people have less kids. When they know that both of their kids will probably live to be adults, they don't have 4 or 5 just in case. That's how it's been all over the world. He's correct in everything he says there. Dude, seriously, chill out. Bill is a lizard person, but in this particular clip he's advocating for the exact opposite of what you're saying. He's saying that these countries already have a hard time feeding the kids, so if people have less of them there's more food to go around and there are more resources to educate them etc. I never thought I'd be on the side of Bill Gates vs Dave Rubin but in this case I'm 100% will Bill because he is empirically correct. Also, I've been a Mac guy for 25 years now but saying everyone left Windows is nuts. They have 75% of the market, Mac has about 15%.

  32. Do "they/them" count as more than one person each, since they are referred to in plural?

  33. Not just segregation, but an outright vilification of frontline workers who were literally called heroes by the same people for months earlier. Those Frontline workers didn't change a single thing about their lives. From the time they were called heroes, till the time they were called villains. They lost their jobs, and in many places lost their ability to get any sort of unemployment benefits. I don't think people have really sat down and deeply thought about how dystopian that is.

  34.  @mdleweight  exactly. I can't believe Dave never mention the fact that every one of us has a document scanner in our pocket. That was painful.

  35.  @davidhaas6258  I'm not American so I'm wondering the same thing. And if it's about something you have to do before you get to the polls, then all of us have a scanner in our pocket. I'm confused.

  36. Canada got it's independence by asking. America used guns. Just saying.

  37. Where do you live? Not wearing them was not an option where I am in Canada unless I ordered literally everything I may need to purchase online because every single store was required by law to make you wear one. You would also need to be able to work from home or be independently wealthy.

  38.  @EveIsJustMyBlogName  it sucks that they get incredibly overprescribed, because it overshadows stories like yours. These drugs absolutely do have a place and they do help some people. On a lark, I went to see a psychiatrist, and literally within 15 minutes he diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and tried to get me on medication. If you knew me, you know, I certainly don't have an anxiety disorder. At all. He seemed to ask a bunch of follow-up questions that were there to confirm his original guess. I filled out no questionnaires, and he asked me very little about my life. It blew my mind how quickly he came to that conclusion and he seemed to ask question after question trying to purposely find validation for the idea that I should be medicated. It was the strangest thing. It's like how doctors always try to get me to take drugs, and I refuse, and the issue usually goes away on its own anyway.

  39. People need to be directly impacted by something. Soon as it comes around to them they suddenly get it. It's sad that it has to come to that.

  40. Not sure who first said it, but the idea that the person who can best articulate the other side of an argument is probably right. You have to be able to play devil's advocate against yourself before arguing against someone else.

  41. I want the whole story. This was not a good video because it was such a tiny clip. Does the kid amit he did it for literally no reason? Why hug the guy after? So many questions, and I reserve judgement until I know more. Edit: I just did a 2 second google search and the kid is 19. Dave, at least make SOME effort to find out what is what before posting. The kid also tried to rob the man at gunpoint, then after the assault laughed at him. This kid is an absolute monster, and so is the buddy who filmed it.

  42. Not to go racial, but why is it almost always white women behind this stuff? White educated elite women cause more damage than anything.

  43. Bingo. The right mostly just sort of rolls their eyes at the left whereas the left really does seem to think the right is made up of inherently bad ideas.

  44. Everyone wants to paint these MSM people as being grifters. Phoney. They aren't. They believe the ends justify the means. They really do. He avoided addressing any of what the kid said because he thinks any ground ceded to the other side is morally wrong. It's so gross. How Brian has been paid millions is beyond me. What's his appeal? How is he better and more appealing to viewers than anybody off the street? He has zero charisma.

  45.  @lm3049  In Canada the PM does a daily briefing that take ages. Not a goddman thing gets said, and the majority of the questions come from the publicly funded media, so of course they are going to lob absolute softballs every time. It's so gross.

  46. He's not irrelevant. That's just ridiculous. He's relevant enough to get a mention on the Rubin Report and you damn sure know who he is, and he currently hosts one of the "major" late night talk shows. He's a douchebag but he's certainly not irrelevant.

  47. It would be hilarious if the Dems decided on a cis white man like Biden, and the Republicans countered with a lesbian black woman. Their heads would explode a the polls.

  48. The reason this bothers me so much is because we are playing a game of good versus evil, right versus wrong. Nuance has gone right out the window, just like it has with Ukraine. Obviously killing innocent people is wrong. Duh. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a step back and ask some questions. We need to look at this holistically as opposed to "these guys did something bad in a vacuum, and we need to go after them with everything we've got. Take religion out of this and look at it as strictly a terrorist attack and we'd be much more level headed about it all. It's now basically just tribalism and each side thinks they have the moral upper hand.

  49. The Vietnam war was justified by the same reasoning. Everybody is a threat. In the case of Vietnam, it was the domino effect. But the domino effect theory is ridiculous because it should work in reverse as well. And America lost that war and communism didn't take over. We need to stay out of this conflict. Terrorists and Israel should not concern America whatsoever. Only get involved if armies try to invade and take over Israel, We need an ally in the region because oil..

  50.  @terivandekuilen5378  How exactly is a long running successful late night talk show host on a major network a nobody? That's just ridiculous.
