@mateoruddock3056 No....that's not what you do. You find out what the leader of the other country wants. He has a right to do what he believes is best for his country. If that leader thinks the border between our nations is causing problems, you sit down with that leader and find ways to tighten that border. We don't issue threats. We negotiate. You catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar. Danielle Smith has the idea. You talk it out. War, whether literal or through trade helps no one.

@leviammundsen2604 I went to a community college. You don't have to go to an expense Ivy League university. I worked part time, stretched my schooling over 5 years and left school 5500 bucks in debt to school loans. Paid it off in a year and a half. Those students are suckers and now I have to help bail them out of their stupid decisions.

"When the people realise that they can vote themselves money, that will be the end of the Republic". You need votes, buy them.

@AlfredofWessex1 No it doesn't but he should have complied. You're not helping yourself by further pissing off cops that are already WAY too aggressive. He was outnumbered and should have "yes sir" and "no sirred" his way out of it. It may not have made a difference but you give yourself the best chance to get out of this alive or not badly injured.

@MrPojopojo Because if you can't afford it, DON'T BUY IT. Community college will train you at a fraction of the cost.

@MrPojopojo What a way to handle debt. I don't pay and the government will forgive. That sounds like a GREAT idea....if you're a corrupt SOB.

@ All I can say is that I'm glad you're not negotiating on Canada's behalf. You're WAY to angry and you're negotiating out of hatred. Emotions will cloud any bargaining chips that you have. Never...EVER, negotiate when angry. That's how lawyers get rich in divorce disputes. People don't think straight when filled with rage and that sure sounds like you. We need someone who has the brains to work with the guy. You don't have to like him or spend Christmas with him. You have to use your wits. Canada doesn't have the money or resources to take him on in full on dispute.

@davidluong8370 It sure does. I've no debt. Neither did my wife, who went to a community college and was a systems analyst in a communications firm when I met her. My daughter did the same and is now a photographer and graphics designer for small an advertising firm. Her husband, who never did go to college, does programming for a gaming site and has just been offered a civilian job for the military. Between the four of us, we've had about 30 grand in school debts, easily paid off. I've not lost a moments sleep over school debt.

@funnyhandle Going to university is a personal choice. You don't have to go to the most expensive college in the country. You make the choice and I have to pay for it. I went to a community college and it worked out just fine. They're buying votes. I don't own a car. I grow my own food and buy in bulk for the stuff that I can't grow. Maybe if the people, at the bottom, wouldn't be walking around with $1000 phones, paying over a hundred bucks a month for home entertainment, they'd have some money.

So....all those things are bad and you want to ADD to the them. Great thinking.

@ccrider3435 What does Trump have to do with people paying WAY too much for their education. I made my decision not to go that way and I never ONCE thought about Trump. I'm pretty sure my wife, daughter and son-in-law did either. My life doesn't revolve Trump or any other politician...unlike your life. I don't like that, in spite of not going into major debt, they're going to force me to pay for someone else's decision, through my taxes. All you can say is "TRUMP!!!!". What's wrong with you? If they're not having problems paying off their debts, why do they need my tax money? It's all they do is cry about how big their burden is. I offer a solution and your answer is "TRUMP!!!!!" And yes, they are offering students big loans before they've even had a job. Right out of high school. Not much of a credit rating there. They can even get Credit Cards. Now that's a great move for a student who isn't even working yet. Maybe YOU should wise up, instead of letting your brain overload with "TRUMP!!!!!".

@MrPojopojo little guys were screwed big time back in 08. Lost everything

@MrPojopojo It's a "cash for votes plan". That's a plan that can lead to disaster. Venezuela tried it and it finally led to a dictator.

@mateoruddock3056 And you're doing the SAME thing. He'd call you names and you'd call him names. Two loud mouths who would accomplish NOTHING. You're not even taking the time to use your brain. I have YET to see someone outsmart another by calling them names. Name calling is the last resort of the inept.

They're afraid that they'll lose the mid-terms and they really don't want that.

@davidluong8370 You may not believe it but I'm not talking about you and those who go after specialised trades or careers. I'm talking about those who go to the top schools and study the humanities, social arts and some of the other specialities, like women's studies, philosophy or social work. They are jobs that have no future and either have little to no demand or command very little pay. They take on the same debt that you did and make a lot less money than what I do. My statements weren't overall generalities, but you can get degrees in nursing, engineering or computer sciences and do quite well for yourself with little debt. Also, my entire point isn't about what you spend on education but more about understanding value for your buck. I will lay odds that you're not the one complaining that you'll never be able to pay back your student loans because you're not making much more being a social worker than minimum wage. Why would you go to a prestigious university, spend all that money on a Bachelor's degree, when you could have spend WAY less on a diploma, in the same field, and worked right alongside the person from the fancy university. That's the common sense way of looking at it. I understand that if you want to be a doctor or lawyer or even a top notch engineering degree, that it'll cost, but they have high potential. Gender studies isn't something that's in high demand. One other thing, I don't care about how much money you have or what anyone else has. What gets me is that they feel entitled to that big degree in activism and then want me to pay for it. Then when I suggest that there are other ways to get to where you want, people get all defensive and act like I'm showing them up or something. Also, not everyone can be a lawyer or doctor. You don't want to be like Cuba where there are so many doctors that there are doctors driving cab or growing vegetables to make a living. There's such a thing as realistic goals and finding the best and most efficient ways to get there. Getting rich isn't the goal. It's more about feeling good about what you do and how it affects the things that matter most....your family for one thing.

@davidluong8370 My dad and brother are musicians. However, they both decided that it was a very difficult way to make a living. Both of them pursued alternate careers, even though my brother went to university to study music, he also kept his options open. He didn't go to a prestigious school either and didn't put himself in huge debt to become a starving artist. If people don't go to your shows, be it music, theatre or other forms, you won't make money. You can't MAKE me buy tickets to see a film and selling is at the heart of financial success. An artist that doesn't get recognition isn't going to make money. That doesn't mean that he should stop. My brother supplements his income with his music and he's done well for himself financially. Life doesn't seem fair and there's a reason for that. It isn't fair and never has been. It would be nice if everyone could get rich off their dreams but it's an impossibility.

@MrPojopojo That's a plan that the average voter can't resist. "Here's 10 grand but you gotta vote for me". I guess that's the price for a greedy, corrupt heart.

@jeremyj5932 They'd hate because Trump proposed it even though they actually wanted it. I explained a school choice proposal, to a friend of mine, and he thought it was a great plan.....until I told him that it was Trump's idea. Then he sneered out some generic response and dismissed the entire plan.

If you fight back, you just might end up dead, just like Tyre Nichols did. What you do, is go along with the police and if they do something that's excessively violent, you turtle and protect yourself as best you can. Then, when it's all over and you know that you're safe, you call a lawyer and start both a lawsuit and a criminal investigation. Don't EVER fight back against the police because if you do, you're risking your very life. And YES....I have been in that situation. 2 cops had me bent over the hood of a car. One of them had a pistol to my temple and was pushing down on it as hard as he could. The other kept kicking me in the ankles, telling me to spread my feet apart, even though I couldn't. I still complied, didn't fight back, and they quit. Had I fought back, I don't have any idea what they would have done. I got off lucky, with bruises to my temple and ankles but, to this day, I know it was because I didn't fight back.

@zackq8865 I understand that but it wasn't a good idea. They could have shot him. Not a very good outcome, either. As it was, they caught him and killed him anyway and with the rationalisation that he was trying to escape. No matter what, don't argue. If they say "Get out of the car", you get out of the car. None of this "I didn't do anything wrong" stiff. You have the right to remain silent and you should do just that. If they want to see your licence, you show them your licence. Same with insurance and ownership. Don't do anything that would set them off or give them the excuse that they're looking for. If they get rough anyway, don't fight back. They're armed. They outnumber you. They're trained to physically control you. It's all in their favour. Fall to the ground and turtle, protecting your vitals the best you can. Never, EVER resist. That's tantamount to suicide by cop.

@holden6104 All of what you said is true however not all cops are bad but cops like these are the rotten apples of the force. All we're both saying is that you want to give yourself the best opportunity to come out alive or physically unharmed. Even this guy, with his yelling "I didn't do anything wrong" shouts only gave those officers the excuse to go off on him. Then, once their adrenaline was on high, they won't stop. Try to control the situation as best you can and you're not going to do that by being adversarial. The police are armed, they outnumber you and they're trained to physically control you. It's a no win situation.

@zackq8865 Not allowed to shoot a fleeing suspect. Okay. LOL. I'd depend on cops to follow that law. Like you said, they didn't seem to have a problem beating him to death. Just don't give them an excuse to do it. They might be breaking the law by shooting but you're still dead. Not the trade off that I'd settle for.

@Hobbitfeetpics Another trope. "Stop victim blaming" I'm NOT blaming the victim. He's in a situation that's OBVIOUSLY dangerous to him. Every sign of resistance that he makes, he's giving those bad cops another reason to go at him even harder. Maybe you find some comfort in those cops being charged but I don't. Do you know why? It's because we have a dead victim and I don't want people to make the same mistakes that he made and also end up in a morgue and on the news. Also, I HAVE been in his position. One cop pressed his pistol into my temple, as hard as he could, while I was bent over the hood of the police car. The other cop kicked my ankles repeatedly, telling me to spread my legs apart further, even though it was impossible. My crime? I was on a country road, at around 9 in the morning, just outside of Daytona, when I had to urinate. I went into the bushes, they pulled up and told me to come out. I didn't know it was the police as I couldn't see them through the leaves. So, I told them to wait a minute while I pulled up my zipper. That's what I did that was so horrible. There's wasn't even a house in sight. I didn't fight back. I didn't say much except to answer the questions asked of me. I ended up with a nasty bruise on my temple and scrapes and bruises around my ankles....but I was alive. I don't know if Nichols would still be alive if he's complied but I do know that it would have increased his chances. Being right isn't a big comfort when you're dead.

@mhdab2416 It's better to die so the world will know how tough you are, isn't it. Nichols sure looked tough. He was begging them to stop, screaming that he did nothing and even tried to run away. I didn't see a tough guy. I saw a frightened kid. It was an horrific thing to watch. As for me, I tried my best to be as stoic as possible and not to show the fear, that the 19 year old kid that I was at the time, would obviously be feeling. A few bruises and I walked away. I wish Nichols could say the same. It's easy to brag about how you'd have shown those cops while sitting at a keyboard. Wait till it happens to you. You may end up dead, although unlikely, or severely injured with complications that could last for the rest of your life. There's a difference between being a tough guy and stupid guy.

@Hobbitfeetpics That he existed was their first reason, as far as we know. He refused to get out of is car and they had to force him out. There's another reason. He squirmed and kept insisting that he was innocent. That's another reason for them to get angry. He tried to run away. That would add MORE to the vindictiveness. Do I think that they're good reasons? NO...but I'm not one of those cops. They're the ones coming up with the reasons to beat the life out of him....not me. He was making an argument to a bunch of brick walls that are trained to fight and have weapons to boot. I could see that he was terrified but that doesn't negate that he did the wrong thing out of panic. It would have been better for him to do the right thing but it was his abject fear that destroyed him as much as the police did. These are the facts. I can't help what's reality. Nichols was in trouble and he didn't help himself by panicking at all. I don't know what drove his fear but it's a destructive thing to be told to fear something so blindly. One should never let his fear control his actions and he did do that.
