| It makes sense for Trump to tariff Canada since China will obviously try and use a country like Canada as a medium to ship cheap goods into the United States through No it doesn't, that's what we have Rules of Origin for. It also definitely makes sense though for Trump to start doing punishing Tari... |

| While I think morality should take precedence over legality, I can't agree that legality is not important at all. For one thing, while morality is subjective, legality is... OK, legality is also somewhat subjective, the law always needs to be interpreted, but less so. But I also tend to think that i... |

| Whole article without a mention of Bowie? I think you're right that these people weren't motivated by National Socialism, it's just black humour. Lennon was a "soft" antisemite in the sense that he complained about Jews controlling show business but was on good terms with many of them (mos... |

| Until Trump came back and ordered ICE operations and general deportation of illegals, the southern border was enforced only lightly and I believe Biden actually cut the budget of it even further. That's not correct. Under Biden, Border Patrol encountered far more migrants than under Trump. https://... |

Yeah it would be UTC, which is GMT.
Doesn't matter a great deal, schools wouldn't all open at 8:30AM even if that was the middle of the night. You'd just reinvent timezones. |

| I think there's some validity in the point that "settler" and "coloniser" are often used in a blunt manner, not to mention a racist manner. They say "this ethnic group is entitled to live in this place, and this ethnic group is not". Regardless of whether we think it is... |

| Humanity won. An eye for an eye approach leaves both sides blind. I feel all this represents is a temporary lull in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Who knows where and when it will erupt next I think the exact opposite, humanity lost. Thousands of lives frittered away so we can argue semantics about &qu... |

| There are a number of factors that make a disaster more "newsworthy", or likely to be famous. Specifically with regards to the Titanic: - it was sailing from the UK to the US, both English-speaking countries, causing it to be more famous in the English-speaking world. - it was said to be &... |

| I do think war with Canada will be a lot more difficult then most Americans believe. Don't be fooled by Canadian niceness. And pretty much every country on the planet from China to the UK (with the probable exception of Israel) would root for Canada. It could be a short term victory but eventually ... |
