nato will probably withdraw from germany before it withdraws from afghanistan. they could be there for 200 years, if america lasts that lo...

now, as an aside, the nato presence in afghanistan clearly doesn't have anything to do with combating terrorism, but is rather a geostra...

i do hope that they are fully prosecuted for assault, and charged under the appropriate hate crimes legislation.

this is, what, the tenth time they've made this stupid, obviously wrong claim? https://globalnews.ca/news/7294893/coronavirus-reinfect...

to be clear. what i'm having would appear to be a "migraine with aura", in which case the hemiplegia is a part of the aura. ...

this entire discussion is alien to them. but, it's in any text on canadian foreign policy.

i identify as a member of the species. well, sometimes. that is all.

if the internet loses it's value as a search tool, i'm just going to stop using it altogether, and go to the library, instead.

the religion is legitimately oppressive. the question is what the most enlightened way to react to it is.
