I see the Canadian Parliament is incompetent and out of touch too. The old nazi didn't look Japanese to me so if he fought against Russia in WW2 that would make him a what? Everybody stands and applauds Zelensky give the Hitler fist pump. All schmucks now.

The public is so jaded right now they can't accept Musk might actually be a good guy.

O’Reilly Auto Parts employee allegedly strangles would-be shoplifter: “Make no mistake, it is law enforcement’s job to do the policing, no one else’s,” Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree said

Don't they have a constitution down under? The right to work is as much a god given right as is defending yourself with a gun. This is good though. The more this stuff goes on the more pissed off the populace will become and realize there is very little need for a federal government at all.

No we didn't FFS get over it, almost no one had a gun! It was really, really rare. Around 1.5% of the population had guns and they were mostly rural. It was probably much less, those that had guns tended to have 3,4 or more. We got back 650K guns from 18M people, or about 3.6% IF they had one each. The only family I knew with guns had a collection approaching 100 or so... so you know, never just one gun.
The reason they had such success is a large amount of what they got was ancient stuff that could not be sold anyway. People just took the $$$ and said thanks!
We looked nothing like the USA in terms of gun ownership. You need to forget the idea it was something we gave up, it was simply never a big thing here.

They did exactly what they did in the US, you could choose not to have it. That was easy or hard, depending on your employer's stance. People had their jobs threatened in pretty much the same vile way almost everywhere globally.
Unlike the US we had a wider choice of "vaccine", the MRNA ones were not the sole option.

I have no idea what you are on about! Heath Ledger lived and worked in the USA and died in NYC? If that is what you are going for, he was basically an American, like most all of our big actors. They never stay here.

Well yes, but...
The Australian Constitution does not contain an extensive bill of rights or individual rights provisions like some other countries' constitutions, such as the United States Constitution. However, it does include a few provisions related to rights and freedoms. These rights are more limited in scope compared to comprehensive bills of rights found in some other nations. Here are some of the notable rights-related provisions in the Australian Constitution:
- Protection of Trade and Commerce: Section 92 of the Constitution provides for the principle of free trade among the states, ensuring that trade and commerce between the states shall be absolutely free.
- Freedom of Religion: Section 116 prohibits the Commonwealth from making any law establishing a religion, imposing religious observance, or prohibiting the free exercise of religion. This section also prevents religious tests for public office.
- Protection against Acquisition of Property on Unjust Terms: Section 51(xxxi) provides that the Commonwealth can only acquire property on just terms. This implies a form of protection for property rights.
- Trial by Jury: Section 80 guarantees the right to trial by jury for offenses against Commonwealth law.
Additionally, since the Constitution can be amended by a vote of the people, changes to these provisions could potentially be made through the formal amendment process if there is sufficient public and political support for such changes

While I appreciate his passion and the message...
Does it bother anyone else when one of our elected officials, whether that be President, a member of either house of Congress, etc refers to us as a Democracy? JFC! It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

From March 17 2020:
I wish I had saved the link or at least noted the title of the article.
Anyway, for what it's worth...
Found this Bernie "bio" in a yahoo "comments" section below an article... So, so, true... The "carpenter" who couldn't pound in a nail straight or subtract 3/8" from 7/8"... (and I've met the guy... "belligerent" is a PERFECT adjective for him - as well as "stubborn" and "know-it-all"... who will NEVER "apologize" or EVER "admit that he was wrong"...)
Bernie Sanders is truly special. He never held a job until he was finally elected mayor at age 53.
He lived off of welfare and four different women, had a child out-of-wedlock with one and the three marriages did not work out.
In all his years in the Senate, he introduced 364 bills. 3 passed. Two of those were to name post offices.
If you want to know what kind of leader Bernie is, go to Wikipedia, it's a long report. The following is condensed: Bernie Sanders’ father was a high school drop-out, who tormented his family with rants about their financial problems.
He blamed society and economic inequality for his plight, though as a white male in a middle class neighborhood, he was hardly among the downtrodden.
This was Bernie’s inspiration to take up the cause of economic justice, though he would spend half of his life as an able-bodied college graduate living off of unemployment checks, and the women in his life, between odd jobs.
By his own admission, Bernie was not a great student, starting at Brooklyn College and transferring to Univ. of Chicago, but his enrollment kept him protected from the draft.
He joined socialist organizations and dabbled in far-left communist politics, gaining national notoriety by petitioning the school to let students have sex in the dormitories.
This was before birth control and abortion were legal, when there were still very serious repercussions for women if the condom broke, but that didn’t stop him from crusading against those silly rules that were an obstacle to his own satisfaction.
He participated in the 1963 March on Washington, a few demonstrations, and was arrested once, but his activism for civil rights ended when he became obsessed with socialism. NOT “democratic socialism”, but oppressive far-left Marxism.
Bernie married his college sweetheart, Deborah Shilling, and spent his small inheritance on a summer home in Vermont on 85 acres.
The shack had a dirt floor and no electricity, maintaining his proletariat credibility, but not impressing his new bride.
He refused to get a steady job, so his wife didn’t stick around long, divorced after 18 months.
The Viet Nam war was escalating, and when the next draft was announced, Bernie applied for a conscientious objector deferment.
His deferment was denied, so he dodged the draft by having a kid out of wedlock in 1969 with his new girlfriend, Susan Mott, even though he STILL wasn’t working, and had no way to support the child. By the time his draft number came up, he was too old to be drafted anyway.
He continued to subsist on odd carpentry jobs and unemployment checks, and occasionally selling $15 articles, including the one about how women fantasize about gang rape. He still refused to get a steady job to support his child. His girlfriend left him.
In 1988 he married Jane Driscoll,and took a cold-war era honeymoon in communist USSR.
His new wife supported Bernie financially through his many attempts to win a public office, and shared his radical leftist political views.
They visited the pro-Soviet Sandinista Government in Nicaragua known for their human rights violations, support for anti-American terrorists, and the imprisonment and exile of opponents. Bernie blindly overlooked the carnage to stand with fellow socialists.
They traveled to Cuba in hopes of meeting Bernie’s hero Fidel Castro, but access to him was denied.
Bernie Sanders managed not to hold a full-time job his entire life or vote in a single election, until he finally ran for Mayor of Burlington at the age of 40.
After several failed elections, he finally won the office of Mayor of Burlington, VT, and eventually a Senate seat, which he has managed to keep off and on.
For all of his years representing Vermont, Bernie Sanders passed a total of three bills, and two of them were for naming post offices.
He’s a draft-dodging deadbeat dad, a globe-trotting communist dilettante, and a petulant detractor of hard-working honorable Democrats.
His one skill is yelling about how unfair the world is, and how everything SHOULD be.
But he has no plans for how to make it happen, and no idea what goes on in the rest of the world or how to deal with problems overseas.
His excuse for not having a foreign policy or national security plank on his platform: “I’ve only been campaigning for three months.”
His socialist friends are bitter about what they see as a betrayal of their values by Bernie’s pursuit of the Democratic nomination.
His former wife and girlfriend run when they see reporters and will not speak to the press.
Bernie’s past, including a brief stint living in a kibbutz in Israel is cloaked in secrecy. (It worked for B Hussein Obama.)
Former employees and coworkers describe him as hostile and belligerent. All of the Democrats in Vermont’s government endorsed Hillary Clinton.
The people who know Bernie best cannot stand him.
