I dunno.....seems like a bit of gaslighting going on ITT.....A lot of, "This country is broken" and "people are living in poverty"......:frantic:

 

.....yet, from some o those same people.... "How dare you suggest I like the other guys!" :classic_angry:

You wanna point to where I have ever said anything like that?

I don't have a favourite party either. I saw your attack with a statistic and wanted to know if you had a party with a stance on it. You seemed adamant on attacking with that statistic so I thought you might have an idea more than just an attack.

 

Sorry for giving you more credit than you deserved I guess. You seem more wrapped up in a "me against them" battle rather than an actual smart debate. lol

Again, do you even know what you are arguing here?

There was no attack with a stat. 
There was a question which was 

‘are you ok with 1 of 3 Canadians struggling’

 

What is with people in this thread adding so much of their own bullshit?   

Read what I wrote. 
That’s what I fucking meant.  
Not whatever shit you want to add to suit this argument you and Rupert seem so keen on having

It's called a discussion.

 

You wouldn't know that though because this entire thread is a circle jerk shitting on anything that isn't liberal 

 

Not really, there's 3 sides here:

1) The side you mentioned

2) The side you're on doing the same thing but circle jerking the other way

3) The side that's caught in the middle who hasn't decided who they like party-wise

They do this.  I understand your pain

 

They come out of the Woodward with irrelevant things you didn't even mention or want to talk about, then they'll tell you your wrong when you don't even know what they're referring to

So, if they said they were fine with the statistic, what then? If they said they weren't fine with the statistic, what then?

 

That statistic had to have a purpose for you to ask the question. If not an attack, then what was it for?

He did. He said it was their fault, not the government (like the ones struggling are the ones charging 8$ for lettuce). 
I made a post and Ribs deleted it.  Hahahahah

To see what kind of a person he was.  
Compassionate towards fellow Canadians who might not be in as great of a situation as him, or an asshole.  
I got my answer and moved on.

I love the way people on this site just assume and place you in a box. I have voted liberal twice and conservative once ( (most recently)

I thought the conservative ethos was something...something...bootstraps

It's very odd to me when the political side that constantly wants less government and spouts the phrase you're referencing goes nuts when they're on the other end.  Rules for thee but not for me.

Seems to be the liberal philosophy., doesn't it?

Still felt like an attack if I'm being honest since it sounded like you were expecting him to be the later. You also sound resentful your post got deleted.

 

Just an observation anyway. No need to for me to grill further. I didn't read the post you made but if it was deleted it was likely for good reason even if you don't want to believe it.

There are definite factions here whether we wish to admit it or not.   Would you prefer circle rather than box?

 

As mentioned earlier, post history and what people cheer for can cause anyone - regardless of what they believe in - to come to conclusions.

And again, you are adding your own feeling to my words.  
I apologize, but I can’t control how you feel.  I also don’t give a fuck about how you feel.

Nope.  I had a good giggle about it.

It was totally fair and probably should have been deleted.

Or, cut unnecessary expenses, such as going out for "beers with the boys".  I thought the conservatives were all about cutting expenses though based on all the budget cuts they tend to do to programs that help people who are struggling.

You mean in the same way you placed "everyone else" in a box?

 

Look, I'm on the fence in all of this. I don't care for Trudeau. I don't care for PP. I'm part of what I referred to as group 3. I just find it hilarious you accusing others while doing the exact same things.

 

And I don't care who you voted for. That's meaningless as people change.

This is what I don't get from you lot.

 

For YEARS we heard the small government.  Less taxes.  Bootstraps.  Socialism bad.

 

Now, that capitalism has led to insane price increases with little growth in actual wages, you lot complain that the government hasn't done enough to help out the people.

 

sad.

That's clear for sure. But for me. I do not want to be placed in a box just for trying to have a conversation. I'm not a card carrying member for either party and just want a government that does their job and doesn't continue to make my life more expensive

If that's how you feel then great. I don't care about myself either. It's hard to these days.

 

But keep in mind words don't have feelings and it's up to us to try and figure out what the other person meant at times.

You mean to people who happily scream from the clouds they are liberal and would never vote conservative, then yea. Yea I do

 

That was my point. People can switch. Doesn't mean they are a champion for one party or another

You definitely don't get invited for beers with the boys

Everyone's entitled to their opinion in the end. Some will agree with you. Others will oppose you.

 

Complaining about the other side doesn't really change anything. 🙂

 

And, for the record, I mean that when it comes to both sides. It's not meant to just single you out.

So why not start with the words that are being written to you……..

Ot will work better than making up your own shit and getting upset about it
