Or even worse, the company not donating anything but instead handing over all the public donations pretending that it was their work that caused it. They give nothing but instead gain all the publicity and recognition … in the end profiting from charities and the good will of people
Make … (cough, cough, cough) … America … (cough, HACK, ACK) …Great … (cough, hack, wheeze, cough, hack)… Again
The Chinese government sitting around the phone with the US on hold …“how long should we make them wait?”
“Give them another hour, it’s already been two” (another round of belly busting laugher)
America: … (pretending to make static sounds, muffling their voice like it’s a bad connection)… WHAT’S THAT??! … we’ve got a bad connection … did you say … BOMB THEM MORE? … (keeps pretending to make static sounds)
I’m not apologetic about it any more.
When any company asks me to donate i say no. If there’s a cashier or rep that gives me a look or says something … I tell them that their company can spare 0.0001% of their profits to give way more than all their customers combined. Don’t ask me who to donate to, I give to the charities of my choice when I can. Your company has way more free money to give to not just one charity but many charities if they wanted to but never do and instead choose to collect the money as more profit for themselves and their investors.
Every time you find out the reasons why or figure out the criteria of why the ban is in place for any book … the Christian Bible should also be banned for the same reasons.
If you give your pets some little booties to wear, then they’ll let them smoke inside the building
Someone … or a new artist should just release a new version of the song with new lyrics every year
But to your question … I’m Indigenous Canadian, so from the day I was born, I’ve always been overwhelmed by the world because most of it, especially living in northern Ontario was a government that either actively or passively just wanted us to either disappear, assimilate, go away or just die.
I’ve always seen the world as falling apart. I remind my friends when we debate this stuff that the human species has been around for about two million years, a species that looks like us was around about 100,000 years ago and the most modern ancestor that could think, act and be like us is about 50,000 years ago. We’ve only just started our technological evolution about 200 years ago. So when you think about it, we are more designed as prehistoric cavemen and cavewomen who are easily scared of shadows in the dark or what happens after we die. We have only just taken our first step out of the cave we all used to inhabit. It’s going to take us a few more thousand years to get to the point where our brains can process and live with the modern world we created … that is if we last that long. In the meantime, we’ll just fumble along trying to become temporary Masters of the Universe on our tiny speck of floating dust in the galaxy.
To put things into perspective … listen to Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot
Or watch the cartoonist Steve Cutts A Brief Disagreement
The thing that is pissing me off these days is not so much that the world is falling apart … it always has been for me … its that we are accelerating the amount of danger we are putting all of humanity … and for what? a little bit of profit and for a small group of people to say they can rule the world?
No it means there is zero percent chance of New Zealand
It’s a no win situation … just like WWII
If you eliminate all decent people from the population and remove their influence … all you’ll end up with is psychopaths and violent people … who will all end up destroying everything for everyone
Springtime for ICE Agents
That’s the other thing I find unusual … why no one is doing anything to just threaten and shoot ICE agents … it’s a legal free for all right now
Someone attacks your home, they don’t identify themselves, refuse to identify themselves and kidnap and detain people … why aren’t people just standing up to them with guns that are supposed to be everywhere in the US?
It’s a good idea because ICE agents are not identifying themselves … so they would have a hard time arguing that anyone is impersonating an officer or agent.
I’m sure they would bend and break the rules over it anyway … but what choice do you end up with? … don’t do anything and they put you in danger … or dress up like them and you’re still in danger anyway but at least you’re doing something.
lol … that would actually be hilarious
Get a bunch of guys and cosplay as ICE agents and join their raids and gatherings and confuse the hell out of them.
Imagine 20 no name, non identifiable ICE agents raiding a place, then coming out of the building to 100 ICE agents that look like them mingling in with their group. The cosplayers just play along, making orders, taking orders, following, arguing, screaming, shouting, pushing and just causing general mayhem.
I don’t understand why more Americans just don’t dress up like ICE and do whatever they want …
… like … no one is bothering to check who ICE is and they are not identifying themselves.
All they have is body armour, masks and firearms … anyone can do that … which means, anyone can do whatever they want.
We’re getting neither … we’re getting this instead …
Or just go up next to them and cry louder and more dramatically
One way to help the Canadian economy would to just tax the hell out of the ultra wealthy. Not the middle class, not even the wealthy class … just the ultra wealthy and break their strangle hold on everything.
The tax revenue from that would be more than enough to offset any losses. But what do I know, everyone just continuously believes that if we just let rich corporations, investment bankers and the ultra wealthy do as they please without control, that all that wealth will save Canada.
Yes … unless the building owners are more sadistic and instead wanted pets literally on fire and smoking
