Half of the criticisms in here apply 100% to Canada's guide, yet somehow the discussion about Canada back in 2019 doesn't include them.

Gee, I wonder why.

What is the top thing shown on the plate here?


Did you mistakenly mean to reference Canada's highly corrupt as hell food guide?

https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/

Ctrl+F'd and didn't see any of those words mentioned a single time either. What a corrupt country Canada is.


I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Canada can be just as corrupt.

>has already sanctioned EU judges for doing their jobs when their job is against US interests.

Wow, this is scary. I assume EU would never punish US companies for doing their jobs when their job is against EU interests?


A judge making a ruling to listen to a case, issuing arrest warrants so those cases can proceed (arrest does not mean proven guilty!), is not supposed to be a valid target.

Great, then when American judges rule that Maduro is a valid arrest target, then no one in the EU can complain.

The equivalent here would be if that American judge was sanctioned by the EU for issuing the arrest warrant for Maduro. Or would be, if Venezuela was an ally of the EU.

That Maduro was a head of state and still subject to an extraordinary rendition means that now the EU has to worry about EU heads of state being violently extradited to the USA. Not because anyone in the EU cares about Maduro himself, but because the US has signalled by doing this that they don't care about the old rules.


Sanctioning is now the same as complaining, apparently.

Someone is concerned about the US personally sanctioning EU judges, you make some false equivalence about EU sanctioning US companies, and then again about EU citizens complaining about US judges.

Is this all you do? It's not helping whatever case you have.


Why are you comparing US companies to EU judges? To me it seems like private business in the US is much more involved in the legislative than the judicative branch.

>curious kid gloves with Russia

Did he outsource all of the country's oil reliance to Putin's Russia? Wait, no, that was the EU.

Did he also laugh at anyone telling him not to do that since it made him rely on Putin's Russia? Wait no, that was also the EU.


We aren't 100% reliant on Russian Oil, and the EU has made decisions again and again to reduce the reliance on Russia for Energy against the resistance of some members

Oh my mistake, 100% reliant on Russian oil that's shipped via India. Much better!

Keep repeating that false claim, instead of doing a little bit of research. I know it takes a bit of effort, but it would make you certainly less ignorant

We receive Oil from multiple Suppliers including Norway, United States, Kazakhstan, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.

The Russian Oil via India is certainly less than 30%

he tries to negotiate a truce without Ukraine, without any of the EU. His government is infested with politicians that parrot FSB talking points. Considering how incredibly hostile he is with almost every other nation, he's barely ever like that with one of the most hostile belligerents in the world today.

I'm not saying I know exactly what's up but its super sus.


Agree, privacy lovers can flock to EU and China where surveillance never happens

Misguided as EU rules often are on implementation I do still have more faith in that then the American system where rule of law seems to be fundamentally breaking down

At least the European laws are debated, and more often than not will then be voted down. America has the similar laws for the state, they're just secret and do not help the average person.

It is also getting harder to argue against descriptive laws on communications when Grok is churning out child pornography and X thinks that's just "the user's fault".

I wonder how hard it would be to get seat belts enshrined in law in the modern day if they never existed. Europe is already throwing out a bunch of safety standards because King Trump wants unsafe American vehicles to be sold in the EU. How about the US stops making crap cars? Oh sorry, that's the "ungrateful" European in me. Trump really is throwing out 80 years of shared progress and proving the anti-US stance that all of it's allies are just vassals.


Everyone I talk to says the opposite.

Spring has sprung.


Also:

basketball -> handball

hockey -> stickball

volleyball -> handball

rugby -> handegg

baseball -> stickball

cricket -> stickball

golf -> stickball

Hopefully this will finally appease the football literalists and make things simpler for you all to understand :)


I like the basketball, volleyball, and baseball way where the noun before ball has some leeway but should be clearly identified with an aspect of the sport.

football -> tackleball rugby -> tossball cricket -> paddleball golf -> clubball hockey -> icepuck


Handball’s already taken though.


I find it werid that you keep calling soccer football.

Puritans were English protestants. I think you mean to say it's being taken over by European values.


Puritans were kicked out of Europe for their views


Nothing says tolerance and no censorship like kicking out people for their views


So European values of the 1500s through 1700s are not puritan values.

Europe has liberalised since then.


If people are tolerant, they're woke. If people are intolerant, they're nazis. Standards of conduct are oppressive, but the lack of them indicate a shithole. And of course, anything in-between is just performative fence-sitting.

Tough crowd over here. Cultural bankruptcy speedrun much?


Ah yes, after muricans bad, let's have some euros bad.

I learn some amazing things on this site. Apparently the culture agnostic, historical practice of designating words and phrases as distasteful is actually a modern American, European, no actually Globalist, but ah no actually religious, but also no maybe Chinese?, no, definitely a Russian mind virus. Whatever the prominent narrative is for the given person at any given time.

Bit like when "mums is blaming everything on the computer". Just with political sophistry.


Censoring shit or fuck is very much not a European thing.


It's fair to say that, but first please verify your age to access these sites if you're located in the UK
