  1. **** that guy. Made a huge stink about a joke pete Davidson made on Saturday night live and forced an apology for nothing! The joke wasn't about the guy losing his eye, it was about pete Davidson being ignorant of politics. Truly conservatives have no sense of humor.
  2. And they all act like ignorant malevolent bastards so why not both?
  3. Why not both?
  4. I say again, overly much is made of the difference in skills. Yes sports constantly evolve and yes players overall fitness is improving (mostly. It is well documented that Charles roberts didn't put in any work to be at his best and he still did OK against all these players training hard) Particularly in a team setting these differences are not as massive as they are being portrayed. At a position like qb I don't think there is some magic that has been worked on the athletes. Coaches have simply worked harder to make them look better. The position has become a lot more scripted. In the past there was a lot more flying by the seat of your pants.
  5. What on earth do some of these churches teach that people think Jesus would be a fan of Trump and Republicans in general? Like have they ever actually read a Bible?
  6. Take my like and get out.
  7. The best counter argument to this "old guys would suck in a modern age" nonsense is hockey because you have some guys who played many many years. Gretzky and lemieux played in the dead puck era as old broken down men... Gretzky in New York with a half crippled back was still putting up 90 points. Lemieux check back from cancer and ripped the league a new *******. Talent is talent regardless of the era. Sure overall depth has improved, but the beat players are still the best players.
  8. Peterman is stuck behind some really good Canadian receivers. He could be a damned good one, but so can Demski and Wolitarsky.
  9. People make overly much of these supposed skill gaps between generations.
  10. Specifically saying something along the lines of "people don't really know how good this guy is"
  11. Well old trumpy doesn't care about laws
  12. He is certainly trying, but he overestimates what the military would be willing to do for him. Can't overthrow the rule of law without the force to back it up.
  13. Mitchell and reilly would be starters in any era. Collaros pre head trauma was really good too, but those days are gone.
  14. Yeah no one stages a coup without military support and cadet bonespurs is hated by the military.
  15. They can't speak out because if you cross the fundies they will turf you. Sad state of affairs really.
  16. The man thought Stefan Lefors was a starter. Why listen to him?
  17. People didn't turn out en masse to support Biden, they did it to oust the mob boss in the big chair. They don't do something to make sure Republicans know this is unacceptable and voters will just stay home going forward because nothing matters.
  18. If Biden let's these crooks off the hook all that will happen is Republicans will sweep the midterms and next presidential election.
  19. The far right is in total control of that party no question about it. Can't vote for them in good conscience, but trudeau is a weenie and the ndp are too far the other way. What's a guy to do?
  20. Barr doesn't care about his reputation, he was using Trump for his own goals of a Supreme executive leader. Now that Trump lost barr has no use for him.
  21. Government is not a business. We have already tried cutting taxes and as I said, it's been proven to not work for the betterment of society as a whole. So let's try taxing people and putting in some regulations saying they have to treat their employees well. A strong economy is not created from the top down, it is created from the bottom up.
  22. He won't be forgotten sadly, but he will be remembered in a terrible light so there is that.
  23. They pay 80% of the taxes while controlling 95% of the wealth... you trying to prove my point for me? Look at the golden age everyone pines for... what was the tax rate on wealthy people then? Hell as an Alberta example the ndp raised corporate tax rates and were blasted for it... yet rates were higher under klein. We've tried this cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy for decades and it has only shrunk the middle class and expanded the wealth gap. It is a failed experiment.
  24. But if we do want to go back to the glory days the first step will be the one thing conservatives are conditioned to hate... taxing the wealthy at a higher level. And not even go back to taxing these guys like they were post war, it will also require governments to legislate worker protections. Again anti-consetvative stances. Basically everything from the 80s onwards was an experiment in seeing if corporations will do the right thing without being forced to. Turns out that no, no they won't. Time to end that failed experiment and get back to governments looking after the bulk of the population rather than the wealthiest.
  25. How? The world has moved beyond that. Trying to fight to bring back a bygone age is a losing proposition. Need to adapt to the new world and not try and go back in time.
