What time do you want me there, and what can I bring?š
I KNEW it! āTheyā have been hiding it all along. You know, them. NASA, the government (all of them), teachers, the church, really most people on the planet for the last, oh, say three thousand years. I just donāt get why they want to keep us from knowing. Asshats.
Hamilton Ontario. All MAGA, Trumpers, Trump acolytes, and suckers who buy their horseshit: go to hell. Go directly to hell. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. And let the rest of us get to work fixing everything you have fucked up.
But that which has been seen cannot be unseen.
Ya just made my dayā¦
Boo. Fucking. Hoo.
Iām sorry. This is not going to be over, probably ever. šØš¦ has been attacked, and we have learned that the USA is not to be trusted, and we cannot rely on it for anything.
For the sake of my partner and my daughters, I want equality for women. For the sake of men and boys, may we be taught not to suppress our true selves, and may there forever be an end to war that we will never have to fight our brothers again. Amen.
This guy is my hero.
Howābout āsugar daddy?ā
About time. Because who needs fucking wetlands anyway. Besides the ducks, I mean. Who gives a shit about future flood control, really? And all the money saved can go to feed and house the poor, right?
Whether god is listening or not is irrelevant. Itās always up to people to act to solve problems that people created.
So on the side of the gunman then?
I disagree. amerika is waaaay past the crossroads. You have arrived at (as Ozzyman says) āDestination Fucked!ā
Ssshhh. He might hear you. I said the other day that he has made the Oval Office look like a cheap bordello. After a more recent peek, I have to take it back. It looks like a cheap whorehouse.
Well isnāt this ironic. The kids were in church, praying. Killed by a gunman outside the church, with (so far) no known religious motive. So how is religion to blame for this one? I think itās just stupid to blame religion for every single act of violence, especially when thereās NO evidenceā¦
Oh fuck me sideways. amerika proves yet again that she loves her guns more than her children. Until you stop praying and start widespread civil unrest to change the gun laws the slaughter will continue. Your innocent children will continue to die for your inaction.
Most people just say, āI donāt give a fuck.ā
And he blames seasonal immigrants for high youth unemployment. StatsCan blows his bullshit out of the water, to skillfully blend metaphors. Newlittletrump.
If you havenāt already, you should read āHow Fascism Worksā by Jason Stanley.
Itās just a couple of round numbers. The outrage is solid and real.
Todayās number is: 20. There have been 20 times the Palestinian deaths in Palestine as there were on 9/11. Huh. Whaddya think about that?
I know what to say: WAR CRIMES!
Those Catholic children who died inflicting their churchās condoned violence on the individual who was the victim of suicide got what was coming to them, right? Iām talking to you, those who believe religion is the source of all evil. Asshats.
Trumpās redecorating of the Oval Office gives new meaning to the phrase āgolden showers.ā Just sayingā¦
Hereās something that I find irritating: discrimination against cherries, i.e. ācherry pickingā info, stats, etc. Whatās the fucking problem with cherries? Why not apples, or peaches or even pineapples? And why exclusively fruit? Why not vegetables? Parsnips? Brussels sprouts?
Because men are people and therefore imperfect beings who sometimes have a lack of judgment, just like the other eight billion people occupying this planet?
The behaviour of individuals who adhere to a religion doesnāt mean that the faith promotes violence. If you want to make that argument then it follows that you must say the same for any collection of people: whites, Dutch, blind, vegans, etc.

Not all faiths are Abrahamic. Some have no deity. Some have no single holy text. I just want people to stop generalizing about religion when what they mean is a certain religion.
This is palpably incorrect. You are lumping all religions together and there are a many that donāt fit your narrative.
Oh my arenāt you so witty. If youāre out of arguments, insult. Works for trump
Please be careful what you wish for. The one waiting in the wings is no better.
First definition in the Oxford English Dictionary: āreliance or trust.ā Yup. Having faith that your car will start is exactly the definition. And yes, itās based on the evidence that it has started every morning so far, but doesnāt mean it will start tomorrow. Ergo, faith can be fact based.
Cāmon Israel. You killed FIVE journalists among twenty civilians. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY TARGETING JOURNALISTS AS WELL AS DEFENCELESS CIVILIANS. These are war crimes. Shame on Israel. This is unforgivable.
It was the right thing to do. They witnessed their dad doing laundry, grocery shopping, cooking etc. ok I didnāt breast feed them, butā¦ I repeat, it was the right thing to do (they are now 47 and 43 and strong career women and Iām goddam proud of them!
Fool. Evil people will always be with us. Even if you could eradicate religion, are you naive enough to believe that humanity will be out of excuses to hate?
At least I have a country that isnāt falling to fascism. Oh, and our prime minister is doing tap dances on trumps head. And the most intelligent arguments you can come up with are bad pun insults. Just like your stupid leader
Did I say that? No. Youāre just another moron trying to put words in my mouth.
Keep up. I am a self proclaimed atheist. So by definition my god is not real. Fer fuck sake
Atheism is NOT the antithesis of religion. Itās simply not accepting belief in a deity. Itās not a system of belief, or an organization of any kind. For the third and final time: THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RELIGIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE BELIEF IN A DEITY. Your inability to understand this is your problem.
Thank you for this. For the record, Iām not a Satanist š
I never said atheism was a religion. You are trying to put words into my mouth. Oxfordās second definition reads: āa particular system of faith and worship.ā The online amerikan dictionary lists eight definitions of the word, yet makes NO mention of god.
The Oxford definition is accurate. Atheism is about not believing in a god/goddess. NOTHING in that definition says anything about religion. I reiterate, there are a number of religions that do not require a belief in a god. You would do well to learn about them.
You are not worth any more of my time. You claim to be woke but are as intolerant as any trumper. Now thatās confusion!
No Iām not. I can have a religion AND be an atheist. There are a number of religions that are inclusive of atheism. Your view is an expression of the blind faith I disdain.
Well thatās a fucked up leap of thinking. You couldnāt be more palpably incorrect.
Exactly where did I defend blind faith? I actually decried it.
You sir are the ass. Because of your own narrow minded views and definitions.
Um perhaps you missed the post where I stated that I am a man of faith, and I am an atheist. Your conflating faith and āshiteā is flawed logic.
Thatās a great start. Thank you.
Not all men hate feminism. My mother was a proto feminist: she taught my brother and I how to be men, but also how to live without enslaving women to do our laundry, cooking, etc. Iām the father of two daughters who taught them sports, gave them āboysā toys so they could survive without a man.
I expect we do. So if you can accept that, perhaps itās not unreasonable to retract the generalization that all religions are poppycock.
š¤šā stevenwilhelm555 Steven
Ironically you just disproved your own argument.
Not all religion. Your sweeping generalization is what I object to.
What a bleak world you must live in. āConfidence or trust in a person or thingā is only one definition. You must have faith that your car will start in the morning. Is that āblind faith?ā
I am a man of faith. I am also an atheist. My religion does not require me to uphold a dogma, or subscribe blindly to an ancient text, or to go out and kill people. And I have disdain for those who lump together all religions when what they really mean is dogmatic Christianity.
No. Not true. Blind faith rots the brain.
Nah. This is bullshit. If half the people on the planet are religious in any way, then why arenāt there four billion people crashing planes into buildings? That isnāt the work of religion, thatās the work of people.
Hereās a summary: Donald Trump is a sick, sick individual.
Exactly this.
Stainless steel requires nickel, which comes from (wait for it)ā¦ CANADA! Fuck, tariffs!
Oh I fear itās only just begun.
Or the second.
Itās a mystery to me: How is it that, in a land with more guns than people, unidentified/unidentifiable people wearing masks and without any identification or warrant, can get away with kidnapping people off the streets. You would think that someone who is armed would want to defend themselves.
If his orangeness was a magician he would have been given the hook years ago. But heās a fascistā¦
Another reason to drink coffee!
Did you see his orangeness today? Looks like death warmed over. In a stupid MAGA hat. He really looks like a huge headed dork wearing that thing. Isnāt there an adult in the room who can help him get rid of the fucking hat?
So the FBI has raided John Boltonās home and office. 47 has now crossed the line and is attempting to silence people opposed to him. Whaddya think now, amerika? How do you like fascism so far? Ready to āmove to Canada?ā Because theyāll be coming for YOUā¦. Soonā¦
Damn! How could I have not seen this before? A certain tiny-handed president has a particular disdain for the military. Why? Simple. They donāt use enough gold coloured bling. Add some of that shit to tanks and aircraft carriers and heād be having orgasms over them left right and centre!
Hmm. Not sure it will be a reality. There is more than an outside chance that FIFA will move the World Cup to Canada/Mexico, completely out of the USA. Plans to do this are already in place, and can be activated in as little as 90 days before the beginning of the tourney.
Brilliant! š
Never say bad things about the dead. Only good. James Dobson is dead. Good. [Super sky s/o to Bette Davis]
How about James Dobson? Surely thatās worth a tiny bit today?
Has anyone noticed how much the Oval Office is starting to look like a cheap bordello? Is it me?
Patience. Also, watch the one who would inherit the mantle. He is easily as dangerous, probably more so.
Iām wondering, why has nobody yet released an orange turd emoji?
Bah! The FDA has no fucking idea what is going on. They donāt have any actual scientists working there anymore.
Yup. That sounds exactly right.
Please. An asshole has a purpose. If anything ass-y, heās an asshat.
Right?
Sen. Joe Martin has lost it, and/or has over consumed his recreational drug quota. The only content of his recent letter to Canadian politicians is his correct usage of definite and indefinite articles. āThe, a, and anā appear multiple times correctly. Everything else is palpably wrong.
You lost me at leeks. Almost recovered with bacon but not enough to save the dismount.
š¤£šš¤£
āLargely.ā š¤£ Sorry if I offended your sensibilities as a Cruise fan. š
Not really up for a Subway sub right now. I could go for buckwheat pancakes, eggs, bacon, whole wheat toast, and coffee.
āThought process!ā PROCESS! Thatās fucking hilarious!!
This !!!
āNo deal until thereās a deal.ā Goddam and fuck me sideways! Thatās fucking profound! Innit?
Yeah you just want us to borrow more books, even though we canāt possibly read everything we want to as it is. āThe first book is free.ā Then soon we canāt inhale them fast enough! Librarians. Pfft
Well, do ya?
Prime Minister Mark Carney. Because Canada is the de facto leader of the free world.
I nominate him for the Noble Piece (of shit) Prize. And yes, I know how Alfred spelled his surname.
Just leaving this here
I would generally consider that āgood decision making.ā Spoken as atheist, man of faith and no fucking fan of Tom Cruise.
