Rand Paul, is that you?
I'm just saying America has done the hard work and you could have it so good
Im getting porcelain veneers put on 100 percent covered under benefits
Playing off of other stories.
Glad for your veneers friend. Just remember that benefits come from other people, right?
But I'm still very glad for you.
I negotiated for my benefits with my union against a private company
All made of people.
No you don't understand, the steel company pays for my benefits
It is not public health care lol when you are in a union you negotiate a contract.
You have this strange idea that a company is not made of people. You have this strange idea that money is owed to you other than the work you've produced.
I am glad for benefits... But in no way are they owed to anyone. They are a privilege. Respect that, friend.
And the fact that you try to defend his actions in such a way is sickening.

Although many disagree with some of the actions the Russians have taken in recent years, myself included, I stand with Russia no matter what.
My reasons are simple really, 50 million soviets gave up their lives to stop the Real Nazi Germany. So much debate could be had about ww2 but the fact is Russia played its part in helping us win the war.
Secondly, do a little research into Mao and when and where he went to school and also into how many chineses starved to death (current pop. of Canada) in order to install his Nazi influenced ideas. This is why "one China" is a joke because the real China was displaced to Taiwan.
So in conclusion, simple logic says Russia has sacrificed a lot, calling Putin "Hitler" is actually a massive insult because of the sacrifices made in ww2, and having Russia and China against us is of a good idea unless you want the video game "fallout" to become reality

So are you just going to gloss over the millions of people that Stalin killed and how Putin disappears political dissidents? You are free to defend Russia any way you want, but your reasoning is AWFULLY revisionist in nature.
Interesting: Stalin killed millions, Mao killed millions, Hitler killed millions.....funny how no one ever points out that the Catholic Church killed millions also. I just want to make sure that when the revisionist history argument gets going that we have a clear appreciation of how morality subjective opinions of who is good or bad are formulated. BTW a huge percentage of the estimated 50 million killed by the church during it's history were Protestant.
I am not a fan of any despot, democratically elected or anointed.....evil is evil.
William when you say Catholic Church do you mean the roman one funding the British empires rise?

For the record why side with any of these murderous nation states? Is anyone demanding that any does? Freedom of speech is a paramount freedom.
For the record America dropped nuclear warheads on civilians, murdered and tortured many cultures
My point is it not in our best interests to go against Russia, we should find peace and prosperity with our northern hemisphere brother

Creating an artificial famine that led to millions of deaths is sickening.

So you're just going to act like the Holodomor is no big deal? Stalin killed more people than the Holocaust with that little move. But yeah let's deflect from that fact.
The truth is that Stalin's policies make him the greatest mass murderer in history. There's no way around it.
Lulz, all told the US is responsible for many more millions of deaths, spread out over a hundred years of world manipulation, subversion and war.
Where am I broad stroking anything? I'm simply pointing out the fact that Stalin was a horrible monster.

Remember the Holodomor had nothing to do with the war. It was just another example of Stalin's paranoia as he sought to consolidate his power in the SSRs.

It's a very good possibility that if Russia wasn't on the Allies side during WW2, we would all be speaking German right now.
While the Russians sacrificed more than the USA and England did for sure, we can thank Hitler's stupidity in thinking he could beat the Russians in the winter on the Russian Front.
Stalin was by far more brutal to his own citizens than Putin is.
I saw a story one time that said Stalin had executed over 150,000 of his own troops for cowardice in battle, so he was almost as crazy as Hitler.

What's illegal about trading with China?
And when they travel in the massive ships across the oceans, through the st.lawrence, into the Great Lakes, dump their disgusting barges, and their disgusting radioactive lead filled steel made from slave labour
Proof?
Go down to the Oshawa harbour outside Toronto for your proof...theirs more rusted steel down there then you can imagine

Chinese steel is banned in the Gulf of Mexico because their shackles always break and have killed several people. If the oil companies refuse to use Chinese steel then that should tell You something.

Sounds like urban legend.
Chinese are more than capable of producing a quality component. They can build shackles to American spec from American engineers, just with cheaper labor and cheaper overhead.
American made shackles aren't always the best quality. Are you suggesting "Just buy American and you're good to go."?
