  • That disheveled asshole you had in charge wouldn't be capable of caring if his life depended on it.

    The preponderance of shitty world leaders (over the last 40 years or so) is fucking depressing. :/

  • No direct punishment I can find. Some of the churches have offered apologies and some have been sued.

  • According to charging documents, Mr Macartney, who lives in the US state of Virginia, is accused by prosecutors of collecting funds from his chat groups and distributing videos depicting the "torture, murder, and sexually sadistic mutilation of animals, specifically juvenile and adult monkeys".

  • There are three basic principles that continue to set UN peacekeeping operations apart as a tool for maintaining international peace and security.

    These three principles are inter-related and mutually reinforcing:

     
            -Consent of the parties
        -Impartiality
        -Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate

  • My guess is they heard about the money monkey-killer dude was raking in and thought they try the same.

    Fucking assholes.

  • ... with troops obeying UN operational control

    That says the UN controls the troops.

    They are not an army, they are a peacekeeping force.

    They are also under UN rules, not their own nation's.

    If the UN decides they can choose to stay or leave, that's what happens.

  • You said ...

    But I'm on the fence with type 2, since it's a completely preventable, and reversible lifestyle illness that only requires patient education and accountability.

    Someone refusing to look after their own health shouldn't be a burden on the healthcare system or taxpayers, IMO.

    I didn't 'misinterpret' anything. You blamed people for having type 2 diabetes, added a quote you took out of context, and generally alluded to the assumption that anyone with type 2 diabetes should be left to their own devices.

  • So a bit more info on this ... if you look up the average of the demographic that tries to game a system it usually sits somewhere between 2-5%. Unfortunately the powers that be have decided that even tho 95-98% of people follow the rules, everyone has to be vetted (and often denied) so the 'bad' ones can be filtered out.

    Untold b/trillions are spent doing this, far surpassing what it would cost to just have basic vetting where people in need would be able to access funds/services within 30 days.

    Edit to add -- This is ONLY good for individuals. All corporate entities should be held to a minimum wait of 6 months to be completely vetted.

  • Yup. There is little difference in Canada (except for universal healthcare, which is decimated across the board rn).

  • That does not mean they work under military rules. They are under UN control, and the UN is a peacekeeping force. It is not a nation state military force.

  • Adding Blaine Higgs (NB), Scott Moe (Saskabush) and Danielle Smith (Hellberta) to that list as well.

  • The UN isn't a military organization. It is a peacekeeping org and as such is not bound by the same operational rules as an army would be.

  • Honestly, if they were that far ahead they wouldn't be going nuts with the voter removal bullshit.

    The orange asshole is scared he may not win, so is hedging his bets by having Black, Brown, unhoused and poor people removed (this list is who often doesn't have so-called 'proper ID').

  • Because it's their own life at stake and they should always have the choice.

  • This has absolutely nothing to do with Israel.

    Please stay on topic.

  • I didn't 'misunderstand' anything.

    This is all on you buddy.

  • But him knowing that and continuing to fight until his last breath is fucking amazing.

    I'm pretty sure I couldn't do the same.

  • Looks like the Liberals are following the US Democrats' playbook.
