  1. It’s such a complicated thing, though, because on the other hand, organized religion, has given countless people a foundation upon which to build their lives around. Your run-of-the-mill religious person usually tries to be a good person and they try to help others and be decent. It’s helped them find purpose and comfort in their lives. It’s the extremists who are the problem.

  2. Another commentor had me look into the story, and it doesn't look good for him. He signed the paper that would give him and all the other officials 48% more money. Granted that's apparently roughly in line with inflation, but it's way more than the average person was getting so it was still a bit dicey and he backed off.

  3. The one who said Milano's heart was "in the right place" right before calling her a white supremacist? That woman needs to either get a dictionary, or needs to escape her ideology because she's a hypocrite who by her own definition is a racist.

  4. Is she always just let go? She needs to catch charges so she won’t be able to go to those countries anymore.

  5. I'm all for the content, but I might like Laura a bit more in text form. She comes up as really smug on video, and always seems like she's trying to put on a show. Side note: 8:00 is disingenuous. Pete wasn't saying they are anti-semites ffs. I get his parallel. He's wrong, but I don't think he intended it to mean they don't like Jews and I think you know that.

  6. The side with the better humour is usually the side that's speaking the most common sense. It certainly used to be the left. During the Jon Stewart Daily Show heyday, like 2002-2010 type deal, it was incredible. I think Fox tried to make a right wing version but it was so cringe worthy and awful and it was cancelled after a couple episodes. These days the script has flipped. All of the funny humour you see is attacking the radical left. It's all centre or centre right. That's because the lefties think they are morally superior. You can mock someone in a funny way if you think you're smarter than them, but not if you think you're better than them. Just look at a smug all of those late night TV host assholes are. They don't even really do jokes anymore, they just do smug insults. That's not funny.

  7. Amen. I would not stand for it if I was one of them. I couldn’t keep working while my friend and co-worker of decades was fucked over like that, even for just one character. People need to tell these woke bigots to FUCK OFF.

  8. 2015: White person says they won’t voice a black character. Racist 2021: White person says they will voice a black character. Racist

  9.  @settlekettle8528  "Not all the characters are yellow, like Dr. Hibbert for example." True, but I'm getting by on the technicality that I said "Simpons", and they are all yellow ;-)

  10. Sucks cuz they own Futurama then too I assume, and that show was amazing. If it came back and went Woke I’d be incredibly sad.

  11. As much as these people drive me completely insane, I have to say I feel for them on one level because they have been brainwashed to the extent where they are prepared to do this and they think it's a good idea.

  12. I actually like the overall message of this commercial. It's dad going "Well, this is my child so I better learn to deal with it". Should this be a PSA? Sure. A coffee commercial? Only time will tell. If it tanks Starbucks, then no. If it increases sales, then yes. Your son becoming your daughter doesn't hurt anyone or anything. If this was about the son becoming a daughter and joining an athletics team, then I would be screaming bloody murder.

  13.  @aytviewer2421  yeah, the Republicans really were steadfast against him and I think it's because he was so popular. All they cared about was tearing him down which is a shame. I'm not a big Obama fan, and his fan club thinks he's infallible and they drive me nuts, but the Republicans really did do him dirty. They made it very clear that they cared more about getting back in power than they did trying to make sure the country was run as well as possible.

  14. I haven't researched the things you're talking about, but I'm glad you're talking about them because I've seen SO much BS coming out of people lately that's clearly, obviously not true. I'm glad there is pushback. I want facts, not feelings. I'm glad that someone out there isn't saying "It's hot? Climate change. It's cold? Climate change. Floods? Climate change. No floods? Climate change.". As an objective person, it bothers me. Basically, I do not trust anything that doesn't allow itself to be questioned.

  15. So the average semi-diligent person spends more time researching which washing machine to buy than the authorities did in the actual Wuhan lab. Why does this stuff continue to surprise me?
    2
  16. Correct. Both sides have a narrative. I've seen nowhere at all that doesn't paint one. It's really hard to find a source that objectively looks at both sides of this. And even those usually only go back a few years. This clown show has been going on since time immemorial in that region.

  17. Not only different country, but pretty much as far away from Canada as you can get.

  18. If this exact same scenario happened in reverse, and this happened to a trans activist that whole school would've burned to the ground like a BLM riot. Guaranteed it would be front page everywhere and head would roll.

  19.  @boliu3540  Ignore the Chinese plant. I mean that literally. Every time a blog or video or comment says something anti-Chinese, you get all of these fake accounts posting about how North Americans are being fooled by their media and that the CCP isn't bad. I just ignore them. I am down for debating anybody who wants to discuss actual facts and has an opinion that differs from mine, but the way he's fucking scumbags go about it makes it really obvious who is who. Happens on PetaPixel blog all the time. It's so gross how these accounts who have never commented on the blog before just happen to defend the CCP. Many in broken English with names like "Jim Anderson". Soulless scumbags. Just ignore them.

  20. Hollywood loves sequels.

  21. I want to hear the rest of what Bill said. I want context. This sound bite is a pushing a narrative. This is not what journalism is about. Even if the actual show had the context, this particular video is edited to create a narrative and that should not be the case with journalism. I love Sky News Aus but I downvoted this video.

  22. I wish Canada had an equivalent to this channel

  23. This comment section shows how much of that viewership is into outrage porn. This was a nice story, a wholesome story and almost everyone here is bitching about the government.

  24. Finally, something I’m on board with that Trudeau is doing. I’m fine with military spending if it’s domestic like that. Spend that NATO war mongering, military industrial complex money, but keep it within your own borders.
    2
  25. Yup. I don't care that Don said it, and nobody else should. See the things he said about anti-vaxxers? Nobody cares. Say a woman is past her prime though and look out *rolls eyes *

  27. Economically she's pretty far left.

  28. Hell no. She needs to stay where she is and help fix the Democratic party.

  29. Fool with what? She's in congress so ipso facto: she's connected. And she's not hiding the fact she's a Democrat so I have no idea what you are on about.

  30.  @Woodstock-53  yeah, it’s a well-known fact a lot of these performers lip-synch. They do so much dancing and running around. Most of them aren’t in good enough shape to be able to do that and still saying fall asleep. You have to be a machine to pull that off.

  31. Agreed. I downloaded this video because of it. I always down vote Clickbait no matter who it comes from. She actually looks like she took it in good stride.

  32. I don't understand the Madonna one. She look like she started laughing and took it in good stride. How is that Lefties Losing It? Sorry, I always down vote Clickbait. Even if it's Sky News Australia.

  33. Sky News Aussie is an awesome network. Been following them for years from Canada. Wish we had an equivelant here because we don't in the very least.

  34. The worst part is it's not big deal what he did so it should be a non issue because he's obviously not dressed like that at a party out of racism. Duh. Sorry though, you're woke so you need to sleep in that woke bed that you made, sucka. Then the other parties piling on to continue the virtue signalling, and the worst of that is the race baiting NDP leader. FYI, BOTH Trudeau and Singh tweeted extremely positive things about Castro after his death. Don't take my word for it, go look at their feeds. It was unbelievable. The funny part is that the commentariat on the right is actually being the most lenient with him, admitting it was no big deal because he's not an actual racist.

  35. I'm deeply concerned with the health of our oceans and it drives me nuts that overfishing isn't given 1% of the coverage that climate change gets. It's almost impossible to know who to trust now. Sadly, I give more credence to people who've been thrown out of academia than I do those inside it because they are right more often than not. Gone are the days when people got tossed because they were loonies. Now they get tossed for being heterodox. What does that say when the castoffs are the most trustworthy? That's truly awful and is hurting our oceans. Micro plastics and overfishing are immediate, right now threats and get almost ignored, and so do statistics in context. I want the problem solved, not falsified and argued over.

  36. Interesting. I wonder if OJ Simpson's camp will be suing.....absolutely everyone. He absolutely should go after politicians, especially the POTUS because he was calling him something other than a murderer. I don't care if people called him a murderer because it's just splitting hairs. He did kill people. But calling him a white supremacist is way beyond the pale. I don't think he can go after talking heads though because people are allowed to state their opinions. Politicians though, they should not be allowed to speculate on innocence vs guilt before a verdict.

  37. I'm incredibly against forcing people to wear something to express an opinion. I'd refuse and I'm totally fine with gay people in every way. It's like the Jordan Peterson thing about trans where it actually nothing to do with trans. I'd refuse to wear a shirt that condemned Woke or Cancel culture even though I hate both of those things with a passion. Don't try to force ME to express YOUR opinion, even if we share that opinion.

  38. Piers needs to stop interrupting. He does this constantly. I like the guy, but he's a terrible interviewer. Give your guest the rope to hang themselves. He doesn't. As soon as he disagrees with the slightest thing, he interrupts them.

  39. If I was a student there and she doesn't get expelled or at least severly punished, I'd write on social media that "I wish the exact things Hamas did that she thinks they should do over and over, should happen to her". I don't actually wish that because I'm not a savage, but I'd say it anyway. It would be interesting to see the College twist themselves into knots over how to handle that one. I hope they do the right thing. This one is not free speech issue. It's specifically a call to actual violence, murder and you-know-what against specific people. This is not a joke nor a metaphor nor vague. It's unbelievable rare that I'd call for censoring speech but this might be a true example.

  41. To be fair, if second place was 17 minutes behind and 3rd was 30 minutes behind, that means the 2nd place finisher won with almost the same margin over #3 sot that actually hurts the argument being made.

  42. I got the "false information" warning when I posted direct excerpts from the current Alberta Health Act (Canada). My headline was also something that 100% was possible under the rules that I outlined in the post. No grey area. I did not interpret the rules in any way, I just mentioned in my head line a couple things that were literally covered in the legislation.

  43. So Keith believes it’s OK for the president to openly break the law in order to persecute people? OK. Let’s see how he feels about that if Trump wins the election and he deports Ilhan, Omar

  45. 5:40 Why are corporations afraid of the mob? I mean that in all seriousness. Name me ONE company that produces hard goods that got killed due to wokeness. One. I'll wait. It doesn't happen. Chic-Fil-A did just fine after taking a stance on gay marriage or whatever the hell it was. This is the biggest case of "the only thing to fear is fear itself" ever. Netflix told it's employees it prefers Dave Chapelle to Wokesters. Netflix ain't going anywhere. These companies are cowards. A company that relies on ad revenue may, MAY have a slight bit of legitimate worry, but I don't think even then. Certain entertainers or media outlets might lose a little bit at first, but not in the end. Ben Shapiro has ungodly sums of money. He finds advertisers. These leftists have these monster, corporations, convinced that if they get cranky, then every company will abandon. No, they won't. Those companies are pathetic cowards. Again, name me one single hard goods company, or any company for that matter, even media, that went tits up because it said something very middle of the road and reasonable and something the left would have agreed with six years ago.

  46.  @jirislavicek9954  Not Jordan. Too fire and brimstsone. Instead his friend Stephen Hicks. He can talk about the same subjects, but in an extremely calm and gentle manner that won't upset people so much. I love Jordan, but he's way too abrasive to be in public office.

  47. "a" comedian? TONS of comedians. John Cleese, Stephen Fry, KK, even Mr Bean. All guys that say what needs to be said but in a very clear headed, respectful manner. I just wish there were some North Americans on my list.

  50. I'd like to know the demographics of the 1 death per day and what their prior health status was and what their outcomes would've been if they caught a common flu. Every time I think Canada takes it too far (in Vancouver we just had our indoor mask mandate put back in effect yesterday) I see what other places go through and I thank my lucky stars because it could've been much worse.
