US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24 *AND* Beyond

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I had to stop watching after the gumballs ended, as it started to turn into some white power thing... :/
I did a quick search for the gumball video (which I had seen in the past) and found a version of it on youtube ... not knowing that was added to it. However, it is not wrong to suggest that racial genocide is occurring when in fact it is. To call it white power when the white race is dying off seems ironic. Advocates of multiculturalism promote diversity. But isn't the eventual conclusion no diversity at all?

I'm a small business owner. I create jobs, though I admit not many yet... I'm no Trump.

Nope, I want the middle class to prosper. All of the corporations aren't bad and neither are all of the 1% bad. But no doubt many are.

I believe communicating simple ideas is effective and can reach more people. Are you suggesting the gumball video is wrong? How so? Is the common sense escaping you?

Well Corn, you've been trying to label me for a while now. I am none of the above. Perhaps you have an odd fixation with categorizing people so that you can feel better in some way? I wonder how you would label yourself?

It's a numbers game that has been coming for decades. "White Power" is just term used by insecure people who want to maintain 'their' status quo.

Civilizations and cultures have met and merged for 1000's of years. Has this led to no diversity? Would that be a bad thing?

As for a racial genocide... You mean something like when white people arrived in North America?

I'm glad to hear that you're no trump - that must mean that you pay your contractors. :D

As for the gumball video, I agreed with you that it told a story, a true story even, but it just seemed to be a simple story. To me, the message was "We can't help them all, so let's not pretend we're helping when so many more are still suffering (and they should all stay where they are and we'll help them there)".

The world is far too complex and interconnected to look for simple solutions, and that has led to the current situation of having an ignorant bully in the White House. When people only see the world in black and white, and without nuance, they can't grow their world view. I have so much more to learn, but I know that I will not be expanding my knowledge by having some adult explain world poverty with gumballs.

And a nice little psychoanalysis at the end. :D

Everyone arranges people and things in categories - it's called human nature and helps people make sense of the world. As for me? I would choose "C" - I was just trolling on a slow, snowy Friday. I really don't care what a stranger on a hockey board that lives 1400 miles away in a different country has to say about the politics of a different country.

Categorizing and labelling are frowned upon these days ya know Corn.....

Leftist can't handle facts that may not flatter.

Apparently logic is out the window and the ability to effectively communicate is following soon.

Righto, jolly good, off you go to yourself then, there's a good lad...

So you figured I would take all media sources off the table... except aljazeera.com? :lol:

That Israel has become a land where laws are enacted to obstruct the free exercise of core political rights of its Palestinian citizens is beyond dispute.
I know you have tried but beyond alternative fact sites and Wikipedia....can you argue with the logic?

The only way Zion survives is by oppressing the local majority.

The big irony in it is that there is hardly a difference between the two religions and no distinction at all ethnically.

Unless you count that one denies Christ and the other accepts him as a prophet...

:mex:
OSLO: A near-record 318 people and organisations are in the running for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, the Nobel Institute said on Thursday, a motley crew believed to include Syria's White Helmets, Donald Trump and Pope Francis.

Although it makes as much sense as when Obama got his...
