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 honestly believe that at this point more viewers would tune in for the latter.
I would agree with that ( :shock: ) - but I don't the media will change their ways anytime soon.

Absolutely. Having never seen anything remotely close to this it would be a spectacle

I had to stop watching after the gumballs ended, as it started to turn into some white power thing... :/

Despite the silly video, the guy has a valid point - but then most people who hate immigration also hate trading with poor countries and want everything made at home. Catch-22 there.

Yet through trade, the poorer countries are growing their economies and becoming less of a burden on the wealthier countries.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/worl ... y-absolute

This means that a country like China, which used to be dirt poor, can now import western products - like Nebraska beef and help grow other economies.

I'm going to guess that griz is afraid that terrorists are going to kill him and if not, then a refugee from Syria will take his job. He's not afraid of the corporations and top 1% who will continue to profit from the work of the many and slowly erode the middle class. It's much easier to buy into a simple solution explained with gumballs than to do some critical thinking, some research and then apply some common sense.

-----------

It seems that one group of people here are either:
a) Racist
b) Paranoid
c) Trolling
d) all of the above

It's ok if you're racist, that's a cultural upbringing that can slowly be reversed. Paranoia is a little deeper and takes some deprogramming. There is no known cure for trolling. And if you're in category (d), you need to get out more. ;)

As for Mick's comments - I don't blame him for feeling out of place. The lower mainland has changed a TON since most of us grew up there. It's a change in demographics, but also culture. Every time I go 'home', it seems so many conversations start with, "I'm not racist, but..." - and it's tough to adapt so people either withdraw, assimilate or move.

Would you agree then that the media must have an overriding agenda and is in effect spewing propaganda?

If the media in general had integrity they would be more concerned with serving up the truth.

If the media in general had a slightly less degree of integrity they would be more concerned with ratings.

So how much integrity does the media have and what is the media concerned with?

If the public at large didn't smell a rat in regards to the media... no way the Donald wins the election imo.

You have the right, of course. But something tells me you are also embracing (c). I also think you and I have different views about 'positive change'.

But then, maybe you are one of the top 1% and embrace his 'vision' wholeheartedly. Maybe you're Russian? An arms dealer? Oil company CEO? Corporate prison owner?

Or perhaps you have been brainwashed into holding that position.

Do I also have the right to not be labled a Russian/arms dealer/oil company CEO/Corporate prison owner?

Could that "something" be... brainwashing? Image

I feel like I've been looking up Sweden's skirt the last few days.

Instead of the fantasized soft downy blond, its Mohammad's wire brush beard.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
