  • It is just obnoxious

    Opinion, not fact.

    The purpose is not to enhance any meaning, but to ‘dominate’ over the reader.

    Opinion, not fact.

    The word is used in an ‘adversarial’ context - an insult and a challenge to the reader.

    Opinion, not fact.

    It is symbolic of the general anger that we see so commonly today

    Opinion, not fact

    and I submit it is a direct cause if that anger

    Of that anger. Oh yeah, and opinion. Not fact.

    The demise of American civility is completely mapped onto the curve for the use of these obnoxious, angry, combative vulgar terms in the common vernacular.

    First, opinion and not fact. Second, I’m Newfie. We swear like sailors because we are sailors. Third, human history is filled with profanity and vulgarity. So unless you want to try and argue that profanity was what caused Vesuvius to explode, you don’t really have a leg to stand on here.

    Once again. This is not a rural elementary school. I do not owe it to you to not swear. You owe it to yourself to conduct yourself like an adult and avoid what you do not like. Preaching to people and trying to insist your opinion is objective truth will do you zero favors in any part of your life. You should probably knock that off.

    Personally, I’d argue that people who insist their own beliefs are universal truth are the people who brought down the United States and every other major power in human history. You know, because that is actually what happened and there is documented evidence of. Not “Swearing collapses a countries civility.”

    I’d say you don’t have a leg to stand on but that’s obvious to anyone looking at this conversation. All they see is me standing in a fuckfield that is barren and you leaning up against a collapsing fence.




  • Exactly. We’re on the same planet. You don’t have anywhere else to go. You cannot treat a nation like it is in an individual person. It’s a different creature all together that requires different handling entirely. As much as I fucking hate the United States, so much so that I cannot elaborate on that without violating TOS, you can’t just wall them off completely.

    Personally I prefer the “Anything you can do, I can do better” tactic of vengeance. Take literally everything good America has ever done and buff it until it shines. Throw away anything that doesn’t work. Then use all of that manipulation and forced economic struggle to collapse that sham of a country into what it actually is, at MINIMUM 3 different countries in a trenchcoat.


  • Asked directly while speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill on Friday on whether he trusts China, Carney did not give an explicit answer.

    Given everything China has done… makes sense to not trust them. But even then, what countries can you even say this about anymore? Seriously? I was pretty sure this whole thing with America and the UK leadership being so wishy-washy kinda taught us all that you cannot trust any country. You should be friendly and aim to get along with people but trust? Why would you trust a country when the leadership can change so easily and switch the feeling towards your country?

    What a stupid fucking question



  • You don’t get to decide who’s Canadian

    Good that I didn’t, huh? Considering I explicitly called you a Canadian and an ex-pat Canadian and said “If you insist on being Canadian.” So already you’re just inventing shit to be upset over.

    I’m realy not concerned about how my tone makes you feel

    No, I’ve looked through your comment history. You’ve made it abundantly clear you aren’t concerned with what anyone thinks.

    The guy/girl was straight-up lying

    Oh I’m sorry. I was unaware that if you believe someone else is lying you are given cart blanche to be as unbearable as humanly possible and try to beat the arrogant smug with more arrogant smug of your own. Please. By all means. Do carry on.

    I will not apologise for pointing that out.

    Nor did I tell you do.

    I simply said that you are never going to convince anyone to listen to you when you’re behaving the way that you are. You are acting like a toddler. You are throwing a temper tantrum and lashing out. To anyone from the outside, it seems like a liar who made up reading the act is being yelled at by a child who cannot control his own temper.

    Keep thinking that you won in this situation when you both lost.

    Good luck with that. Just keep it in mind when you wonder why no one wants to listen to you, why no one cares what you think, and why everyone you talk to seems to utterly ignore your opinion.

    Flies, vinegar and honey. Try googling it sometime. Have fun throwing your own pity party, don’t expect the rest of us to show up to it.


  • Whether you’re right or they are, it doesn’t change the fact that you are acting unbearably smug and self absorbed. You aren’t exactly demonstrating any redeeming or useful qualities if your entire comment is that level of hostile bitchiness for no reason.

    Drop that personality off across the border in America where it belongs. Or if you absolutely insist on being Canadian, then piss off back to /r/Canada with the rest of your kind? That is, if you want a single person to change their opinion instead of doubling down because they are being yelled at by some expat Canadian. You know, because that’s totally gonna change someone’s mind.
