Vanellope posted:Oh, and she's whining endlessly about "entitled people" and "welfare queens" now too. I was honestly surprised by the CEO at work when we were talking yesterday. He's turning 69 this year and pretty regularly has to stop himself from saying racist poo poo in front of minority customers (fun fact: Saudi Arabia is a gigantic customer of ours), and he's always full of "knowledge" about how awful the current generation is. Bernie Sanders has resulted in a lot of monologues about socialism, and he intends to hold his nose and vote for Trump just to keep Clinton out. Then right after talking about how millennials are entitled because they grew up in prosperity and want to get everything for free, he stopped and asked me "Wait, is that really true?" Like he actually stopped and started openly questioning his beliefs, and admitted that he'd only heard all of that kind of stuff from other people his age and never bothered talking to someone younger about what their lives are like. He didn't know about how expensive school was now or what the job market was like, because he's been a business owner since 1987 and was just a construction worker (who's basically never out of work) beforehand. I don't know how well he retained anything since his memory is kinda poo poo anyways.

 From left to right, the speech ballons say: "Don't spread hate" "Let's not paint everyone with the same brush" "Don't play the xenophobic right-.wing's game!" "They're misunderstood..." "It was an isolated case" "Don't forget that we used to be colonialists" "It's Salvini's fault,he spreads hate" Worse yet, this is an "ironic" page that if you criticize it you look like an idiot who doesn't get the joke, when it's clear that whoever is writing this is only half joking and believes this bullshit 100%. paradoxGentleman has a new favorite as of 15:05 on Jun 28, 2016 |

Quick question for American goons. When someone uses the phrase "We The People" is it absolutely guaranteed that they are retarded?

It is, at least, guaranteed that the only people they actually consider to be "We the People" are the ones who think exactly like they do.

She was never very close with her siblings but now they're all old and bored and they talk all the time, and my aunts and uncles are horribly racist, especially the Swiss ones. They're always screaming about "welfare immigrants" or whatever and how they should all be kicked out of the country because they're lazy and stupid and blah blah blah. My family is just kinda poo poo tbh. I'm really glad that my closest relatives are about 4000 miles away.

I don't really feel like taking screenshots because it's just the same idiotic posts over and over again but if anyone wants a good laugh they should check out the story on Facebook about Mark Zuckerberg building a standard fence around his property in Hawaii. The gist is that Mark is a loving HYPOCRITE!!! because he wants to keep people out of his yard but came out against Trump's wall. Why can't I come in your house and harass your family and play your Xbox Mr. Zuckerberg, WHY??? loving HYPOCRITE! Also, why haven't you bought a house for every poor person in Hawaii you greedy oval office?

Kajeesus posted:Well for one you don't literally put immigrants in concentration camps, aggressively disenfranchise minority voters or have some sort of infallible thousand year history of being a white people country. Canada has a bunch of accommodating integration policies, like having signage and pamphlets in 7+ languages in any public building that an immigrant might use. No matter how token those are, they're miles ahead of any other country I've visited. Except for our internment camps for Ukrainians of all people in WW1, and the Japanese in WW2, or Canada's horrific treatment of Chinese laborers during the construction of the railroad. We have a history of racism that just gets ignored because of reasons.

oldpainless posted:Ok jeez Canada you win. You're more racist. Canada is hosed. The new Prime minister in Canada spouting off about the importance of raising feminist sons. Canada to be even more BP then before. So reading this has me looking at moving across the border into the US despite the economy. It's loving depressing. When the leader of a country comes out and spouts the bullshit about equality, and feminism and other such bullshit... it's time to take a good hard look at relocation. Article here: http://www.upworthy.com/canadas-prime-minister-on-the-importance-of-raising-feminist-sons Also, for those that didn't know... he appointed half his cabinet of ministers simply because they are female. No mention that they were the most qualified (because they weren't), or that they were even qualified for the position (they probably weren't). Just that they had a vagina. A few quotes, just so you don't have to waste your time reading it (unless you need some workout fuel... use the anger!) Last year, when asked why he made a point of selecting a "gender-balanced" cabinet, he replied with a shrug and a simple line: "Because it's 2015. Because gently caress qualifications... it's 2015... let's hire more women! “Once I displayed the cabinet, nobody talked” about merit, he said. Because once you talk about merit and women, you're a misogynist. so they “grow up to be a feminist, just like Dad.” I just threw up in my mouth a little.. Lessons learned: If you need more proof that the feminists have already won, look no further then Canada. This guy is going to lead our country into a social program fueled debt wasteland. Edit: Oh, and my father told me that when this guys dad was the PM, His wife was out there loving other guys, and it seems like he (the father) knew about it... a country of cucks...

Obligatory Toast posted:Also, didn't Canada also refuse to acknowledge aboriginals as human until 30 years ago or so? I do not understand these rants about European colonisation. A people explores the world and finds a land with massive unused ressources whose inhabitants are backward savages. They decide to send settlers, displace the savages and put the land to good use. The endeavour requires massive investments from the colonising country and they expect a decent return on them. What is wrong with that? Does anyone think that having the American continents still inhabited by sparse populations of stone age, bronze age or iron age tribes is a good thing?

I think that might have been Australia having them listed under flora and fauna up til 1967. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_referendum,_1967_(Aboriginals) Canada had those awful "civilizing" boarding schools that basically kidnapped first nation children and and tried to deprogram them of their savage ways right up through the 1980s though Edit: also apparently in South Africa you could apply for a permit to hunt Bushmen (or Saan people) up til 1936

I feel bad for a high school friend of mine because it seems they're part of a pyramid scheme now. The posts come like clockwork once or twice a day. Either about how great the products are or how everyone should join her. "Hey it doesn't matter, I pay $250 and I either sell the product or have a bunch of awesome candles". I hope I'm just in the wrong here, because back in High School there was one kid who was trying to sell knives to people and you could not get within 5 feet of him without him mentioning his knife sales. I'm just unsure of the point of pyramid scheme resellers when you can just buy whatever the gently caress you want on Amazon. And I say this as an awful person who likes candles too.

The MLM scam people on my Facebook are the people who failed out of school and/or popped out a baby at or before 20 but want to appear successful. They all call themselves "small business owners" or "entrepreneurs". One of them bitched up a storm they gave her a really lovely location for a booth at a local craft fair to sell her nail wraps. Because clearly mass produced scammy poo poo is on the same level as hand-made products.
