Furthermore, it's people operating withing a system that has failed them.

Hypothetically, where everyone is equal and starting on equal foot, giving everyone morem oney likely would benefit most.

But we don't live in hypothetical land. Those resorting to begging are primarily in a bad state and we'll down the path of mental instability, chronic homelessness, addiction, physical disabilities, or escaping abuse. They don't have the education or mental capacity to make the right choices financially and don't have safety nets to get them on their feet.

I don't agree with it for two specific reasons, non is a judgement of character or moral failings:

1. If you are willing to give a beggar any amount, those dollars would be far more useful in the hands of a good organization whose aim is helping people. Want to feed them? Give them food or donate to the food back. Want to clothe them? Give to a shelter.
2. The reality is that these people are likely not capable adults due to a variety of reasons (no judgement). They are not capable making good decisions for their own well-being and giving them money is fueling an unhealthy choice, like short term happiness for long term pain and potentially death.

My belief is that we should mitigate suffering, help them live good lives, and set them up to be contributing members of society, and that isn't accomplished by randomly giving people money.

Man, I wish. Preschool rocked.

You should come with me because grammar and punctuation don't seem like a strong suit.

Yeah, I'm not too concerned about that. Their courts are being attacked with so much that I'm pretty sure downloading a car isn't going to be high on their list.

Good, fuck the USA and it's garbage products. It'd be harder to do if they weren't shit now, but perpetually cutting quality is basically the USA's motto. Now they are experiencing it in the government.

And clearly will be used for CP.

Been a rough week for the White House when it comes to sports. Little victories should be celebrated.

Only Nazi's have to state they aren't one. The default, Kanye, is not being a Nazi.

"but at least we're not as bad as the US" is Canada's unofficial motto.

Yeah, VLC played it, but Plex didn't recognize it. Just saying, could be something as simple as that since OP isn't using VLC.

Only a fool doesn't believe when some tells them their intentions and is surprised when it happens.

If I am wrong, I will be happy that I was prepared for the worst.

If you are wrong, your world will be crumbling because you don't want to imagine that you are wrong.

I hope you are right. At least I will be ready if you are wrong.

I was recently ripping some DVDs and a few in the process were being recognized as such. Turns out, they were simply missing ".MP4" for the file name.

Trump is saying it.

His party is saying it.

The Canadian Government is saying it.

The Provincial Governments are saying it.

You are the one who has their head buried in the ground. This is real.

You are right.

Still doesn't change the fact that the US won't respect any Indigenous people if they invade.

I guarantee you that the best approach for Indigenous people is not through working with the US.

For the sake of Canada and Indigenous people everywhere, we must pull together to create a united front to fend off this enemy.

To test it, you could try rubbing the pad with a graphite pencil. Won't be as good or a permanent fix, but if it works then you will know what the problem is.

Binnington didn't lose them the game, but he didn't win them it either.

That being said, you can't expect to win only scoring once. They needed to get in front of the net for deflections or picking up a rebound. Instead, they kept trying to force passes through 3 or 4 players, turn over the puck, and get zero offensive zone time. It was so frustrating to watch.

Better vote in a bigger fascist to correct this.

This is America.
