@742ebutuoy Explain to me, if you can, what's wrong with being persuaded, reminded or incentivized. (It's obvious what's wrong with the other things in the list.)

@742ebutuoy What see-through sophistry. The word in your quote was "persuaded." So go again to your Oxford Dictionary and look up 'persuade.' It says zero about coercion, force or threat. Zero. It says "through reasoning and argument." Big flailing fail. And you had the gall to tax me with ignorance. You do not know the man with whom you're dealing. I've got your little number with your pathetic attempt to drop the word 'context' and pretend that by doing so the discussion is over, with you the victor. What're you going to try now, dropping the word 'nuance'? I see far-leftists use those two words for the same low and abject purpose all the time. Sophistry is always wrong, and always for the same reasons. (By the way, I agree with the quote apart from the three words I mentioned, and I agree it's germane to the shocking and loathsome behaviour of the elites and the authorities during the pandemic. That's not where I disagree with you.)

@afollower7808 Don't call him useless. Here it amounts to praise.

Mostly peaceful vengeance.

So what? For whatever reason, not necessarily having to do with incompetence, there was some element of doubt. Best to remove the thing and sort it later. Let this lot remember how lucky they are to have the US looking out for them. Otherwise Russia would've waltzed in and taken the place over decades ago. On top of everything else, the bloke in the middle is dressed so comically he has no business making fun of anyone. Joe Jackson had it right in 1985. Listen to his commemorative song of that year, Forty Years. (Search above.) And it's been nearly another 40 years since.

A woman of that unbearable type often does have a notably wide face. Facial width is correlated not only with un-likability but also aggression and criminality. No surprise, then, to find one on-air and earning a high salary at the BBC.

With all respect to Mr. Cleese, the wokery problem can't boil down to a mere terror of offending, simply because the wokesters knowingly offend a large minority or clear majority of the people in everything they say. I repeat, quite deliberately. Indeed, make no mistake, gleefully. Thus their putative 'kindness' is faux kindness. It's hostility and aggression decked out in a fig leaf.

It actually is an illuminating comparison. If this sort of thing upsets you, you are seeking something other than understanding.

@marie-christineb.4817 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOmOhtfKwhY It's nothing that properly makes any case. It's just one man with an opinion, reciting a few very brief quotes. My point was simply to show you that not only conservatives are frightened, disgusted and dismayed by Trudeau. (I myself have identified and voted as a liberal all my life.) He hastily wrote a new "emergency" law along the lines of martial law, suspending freedoms at protest locations, in order to end a protest against him. (He had made vaccination mandatory for some people, or they would lose their jobs; and for anybody to be able to travel except by private car, bus or on foot.) He told lies about the protest, which was entirely 100% non-violent. These were definitely not political extremists, only ordinary people from ordinary walks of life who vehemently opposed his policies. He had the protesters expelled by force, arrested, and held without bail. Their personal bank accounts were seized. Canadian were prohibited from coming near their own parliament. It was all legal within the context of the law he passed. No, it wasn't exactly like A.H. More like Putin, Lukashenko, Orban, Erdogan, maybe Franco in the 1970s. But actually, yes, somewhat like Germany around 1933. Believe me, for a very free country like Canada, it was a complete departure from traditions of political freedom. It is very serious. I understand your skepticism. It's because of Canada's well-deserved reputation. But things have suddenly changed. Best regards

The 'waste' typo is actually perfect.

Aussies and Canadians are alike in many ways and should have much closer ties. 🇨🇦🇦🇺 We're incredibly far apart on the globe, and the internet is supposed to be perfect for that sort of thing. We must hang together, goes the saying. I forget how it ends. ;-)

For one thing, we allowed the media to canonize Greta Thunberg, a quite unfortunate girl with several mental illnesses. Pure ruthless exploitation. And now here's a Greta copycat talking to Rees-Mogg. Instead of psychiatrists, we're entrusting the care of our disturbed young to deranged activist groups....and surgeons.

@jessa9877 You're right, it isn't justified. But the support it does have was handed to him by the hapless protest tacticians. They needed some first rate PR help but they stupidly thought they already knew what to do. They didn't. The thing to do wasn't to spread the trucker actions, it was move back from the centre of the stage and to share it by bringing in great numbers of ordinary, interested and sympathetic Canadians. (Such Canadians did begin flocking there last weekend, but incompetent organizers had doomed the whole thing by then.) This they could have done, and if they had, the mandates would already be history. Instead they squandered public support by going after bridges that made absurd targets. The proper targets of course were politicians in their offices on Parliament Hill and that's where the protests should have remained, although provincial legislatures would have been fine, too. If they're smart they'll start over, in Ottawa, without trucks (or without many of them anyway), and with the maximum number of demonstrators from all walks of life. I think protests are banned near Parliament Hill but they can get as near as possible until the ban is removed—and in the meantime the government will look terrible for using near-martial-law to keep them at bay.

"It's cute when we do it."

You mean dammed. But attempts to damn it will fall short too.

Except when a thick or very inflexible garment is worn, bralessness serves to reveal the location of the nipple, which gives away a great deal about the exact nature of the whole breast. I daresay most women would rather not do any such thing, whether they have nice ones or not.

The pair of them belong in the Guinness Book of Rude Interrupters & Journalists in Name Only. (What a hefty tome it'd be if only there were such a thing!)
