I just found it funny that he literally posted a review for that movie, and immediately the next post, does a review on Black Panther, and trashes it. Choosing two of the most antithetical movies from one another and reviewing them like that, I found extremely odd.

The same old assumptions, insults, and personal attacks from the same old crowd.
It's no wonder people are leaving the left in droves.
Keep up these displays, gentlemen. You're doing a spectacular job.

Do you mind telling that asshole to come pick his stuff up, Welfare?

Since this has gone off topic I'll jump in. Black Panther was over rated, Thor Ragnarok was way better(best black super hero movie is still Blade). Also American History X is an awesome movie.

Welfare loves grouping people into one of two groups because he's too simple to understand concepts like individuality and independent thought.

JesusTittyFuckingChrist, guys. Let's stop with the personal attacks. Don't like someone's opinion? Then post a rebuttal. If I want to see stupid comments deriding someone, I'll go read the Fox News comment section.
People are going to have different opinions, end of story. Don't like it and can't act like a decent human being? Then move on.

He’s been trolling for months and nothing has been done about it. He drags every thread he participates in into a prototypical left-vs-right argument.
I’m fed up with it, I’m sure many others are, too.

Dafuq do you want us to do?
Bam him? Like we did Jason00s2000, or timpo, or the other hundreds of folks who are gone because they pissed someone off one day?
Really. What do you want us to do.
Welfare creates conversation. Ever been to a site where everyone agrees? Its fuking horrible. Quote:

Between this thread, any political style threads, combined with the "I dont care" memes posted, I dont know what to do. Ban everyone so its just me, you and civicblues?
Would that be so bad?

There were threads well before welfare started posting in threads outside the buy/sell section in which people disagreed, but it didn't result in the every thread following the same left-vs-right path.
Anyways, I've said my piece. I know modding is a thankless job, I was a mod on Caraudio.com in the early 2000s and I'll never do that shit again. Sorry for giving you shit.

Try attacking the idea, and not the person. I can assure you, we'll both take more away.
I'm more than willing to engage in meaningful conversation with those i disagree with. I actually prefer it.

lol Quote:
Presidential or Legislative Pardon of the President
Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon
himself.
If under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment the President declared that he was temporarily unable to perform
the duties of the office, the Vice President would become Acting President and as such could pardon
the President. Thereafter the President could either resign or resume the duties of his office.
Although as a general matter Congress cannot enact amnesty or pardoning legislation, because to do so
would interfere with the pardoning power vested expressly in the President by the Constitution, it
could be argued that a congressional pardon granted to the President would not interfere with the
President’s pardoning power because that power does not extend to the President himself.

We are all Canadians and, as such, we should share a lot of the most basic values. Unless there is something to suggest otherwise, I am going to assume all of you believe none of you want to see more kids killed by guns, or that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men, everyone should have the religious freedom and freedom from religion, and so on. We just differ on how we believe those values should be put into practice. I try not to feel fundamentally opposed to someone just because they don't share the exact same opinion, or are unwilling to take a side. I try not view my opinions as superior to all others. We all see the world differently. Look at the recent Yanni/Laurel debate or the blue/white dress debate - we can't even interpret the same audio/visual in the same way. So imagine how difficult philosophical/political concepts become for our species.

But the more fxxked up people I've come across, the more jaded and cynical I've become.
I find it incredible (and incredibly ridiculous) that certain "Canadians" can even sympathsize with honour killing, let alone think it is somehow justifiable. I find it incredible (and incredibly ridiculous) that certain "Canadians" think women need to cover up if they don't want to become targets of sexual harrassments. Heck, I find it most ridiculous that certain "Canadians" can still think an authoritarian regime is somehow superior to our democracy after living in Canada for 20+ years, and themselves being the beneficiaries of flourishing under the democratic society during this time.  | |

What % of Canada feels that way?

He's trolling the trolls, if that wasn't obvious.
Quite successfully, I must say
