@raphjd Yeah... Sadly at this day and age, when someone of a certain group of people (whatever that group may be) does something bad, society in general (and the media) likes to act as though the actions of these few people in the spotlight represent the values of that group of people as a whole.
@raphjd Is the Highway Traffic Act different in the USA? In Canada, the police absolutely DO have the right to ask you for ID and you DO have to comply with the request as long as either they suspect you of a crime OR (as per the Highway Traffic Act) you are operating or have operated a motor vehicle on a highway as defined by the Highway Traffic Act (which is basically any road or trail). Even if you were already pulled over when the police approached, as the driver of the vehicle you are legally REQUIRED to surrender driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance upon request from the police or MOT (DMV) enforcement officer (at least in Canada) as the vehicle was on the side of a highway as defined by the Highway Traffic Act.
So... Under Canadian law, this would have been an open and shut case. Under Canadian law, since he was the driver of the vehicle, he would have been required to surrender ID, and upon discovery of the warrant, he would have been legally REQUIRED to comply. Failure or refusal to comply with such a request when operating a motor vehicle is in and of itself a violation (some of which can get you arrested on the spot). Responding in an uncooperative manner and getting violent when getting arrested will at the very least catch you a resisting arrest charge (in addition to the charges for the warrant), if not more (like assault).
Now... That being said, I don't think the way these officers handled things was right under the circumstances either, even if required to surrender ID as the operator of a motor vehicle (if that is even a thing in the USA like it is in Canada), they should have (and at least under Canadian law are required to) informed him of what was about to happen BEFORE trying to touch him.
As the video does NOT show the actual exchange of gunfire, it's hard to say whether or not the police were within their right to use lethal force.
@raphjd Yes... Sadly, there are some who do take things WAY farther than they should ever go with children. Those are the ones I do NOT in any way support. The ones who want to do the drag queen story hour in an age appropriate manner the same way any "normal" person would in my opinion are a different ball of wax from the "freaks" (as I will brand them).
Biggest age difference was one of my first flings... I was 17, he was 43.
@loco00079-0 I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. Are you able to give us a screenshot of what you are referring to so maybe we could help explain it better?
Also, what torrent client and OS are you using?
@raphjd said in Once again, liberal say this never ever happens - it reminds me of Rep Nadler gaslighting us about Antifa:
Why don't drag queens want to read to old people in nursing homes?
My understanding (at least from the drag queens that I personally know) is that old people don't usually find that kind of thing (drag queen or not) in any way entertaining, and a surprising number of them will freak out and even sometimes get violent with drag queens either for religious or mental health reasons.
@raphjd said in Once again, liberal say this never ever happens - it reminds me of Rep Nadler gaslighting us about Antifa:
Why are they fixated on reading to kids?
Again, from my understanding from the drag queens that I know personally, they try to target to children in an attempt to instill a level of acceptance about not just drag, but the LGBT in general from a young age to try and help make such things more commonly accepted for the later generations so that we don't have the kinds of issues we have today with the older generation. The idea is that children are generally not born to hate. That is usually something that they come to develop as acceptable based on their environment and the people who raise them, so just the same as hate can be instilled in a child at a young age, so too can acceptance.
@raphjd said in Once again, liberal say this never ever happens - it reminds me of Rep Nadler gaslighting us about Antifa:
Even creepier, why do they insist on doing sexualized drag shows for kids?!
Again, based on my knowledge of the drag queens that I know personally, drag shows done for children aren't sexualized the way they are in say the gay bars or night clubs. Yes, there is the element of a male impersonating a female, however the content of such shows (at least from the drag queens that I know) is much different.
I'm at a bit of a loss to understand where you're coming from. Perhaps some drag queens may take it a little too far, but there are bad straight people just the same as there are in any other group of people.
@hubrys The problem with China goes far beyond that, and sadly, they have already started taking over Canada through our giant tool of a prime minister.
Censorship being put in to block any news story from being published that the government doesn't approve of, while simultaneously using the media as a propaganda mill to push the agenda and narrative of the government... Now trying to censor and control social media and banning anything that the government doesn't agree with there too.... Using dictator like powers to take unprecedented control over the people because they oppose you and they oppose your tyranny just to shut them up and try to make them go away...... The list goes on. Freedom of speech is dying. That all goes far beyond just communism.
@bigjohnv12 Interesting... That seems to be about the time that @Joker fixed a known bug. Perhaps in doing so, it broke something else?
@GalloB-0 WIN Key + SHIFT + S
It's your best friend as far back as Windows 7
@bigjohnv12 When did this problem start? I know our system admin @Joker recently fixed a bug with it, but perhaps there's more to be fixed?
Also, is this issue still happening currently? If so, any information you can give on where exactly the feed goes wrong would be helpful for our system admin to fix the issue.
@Thebigmattb-0 I hate to say it, but this problem is not limited to the United States alone. Canadian politics has become much the same. It doesn't matter what end of the spectrum you fall under, all politicians (at least in the Western world) are bought and paid for, and thus, are as corrupt as the day is long as they serve their own agenda to sideline their own pockets, while simultaneously screwing over its people.
If you seriously think banning all guns will solve anything, you are seriously misguided. Our idiot stick prime minister banned hand guns (among a few others) after a shooting in the USA, and guess what... We still have some gun violence problems here in Canada because the gun problems we have here have never been related to legal guns or legal gun owners. In every case in Canada, the problem has been illegal guns acquired, often by people who are under court order not to possess such a weapon.
So to be clear, banning guns is not the answer. Now, that being said, a lot of the gun violence problems that you seem to have in the United States do seem to be with legal guns. Tightening laws to restrict them (such as requiring a psych evaluation to get one) but not necessarily ban them outright will help to go a long way, however it will never solve all of the issues. It will just make them shift more towards illegal guns and illegal gun owners, which obviously the law has done nothing to prevent.
Also to be clear, I am saying that there is a difference between gun control and gun prohibition. With proper gun control, the number of issues that you're having down there in the USA would dramatically drop, however would never go away completely. Gun prohibition on the other hand never has and never will do anything to curb the problem.
@raphjd That's epically awesome!
As a general rule, if you use a VPN that supports port forwarding and your speeds go up dramatically, but your port forwarding settings are in place for your home network and yet it doesn't work well, this is usually a sign that your ISP is throttling P2P traffic on their network.
This could be a port forwarding issue. In order to get proper upload traffic, you need to have the port forwarding in place. Specifically, you need to make sure that the port that your torrent client uses is forwarded through your home router or VPN to your computer, both in TCP and UDP. This is a necessary step in order to get proper upload traffic.
@Gberns This is actually a bug I noticed a long time ago. Turn your phone sideways, then turn your phone back the other way and the pictures will adjust to the right place. I don't know why this is though.
@mtwii You know the old saying... Pics or it didn't happen! Haha
Welcome to the loonybin. You don't have to be crazy to play here, but it helps!
@kalayaan When I was growing up in the 90's, my parents kept be blindfolded in a closet, under a rock, with my fingers in my ears as a child.
Now.... That being said, when it comes to music that was created long before I was even born (like the 50's 60's and 70's) I'm very familiar as that was the only stuff allowed to be played in the house haha
@raphjd Some people feel the need to shit on others to make themselves feel better about themselves. From my experience, they only don't like you because it doesn't matter what side of the fence you sit on, if you speak bullshit, you WILL call them out on their stupidity. Sadly, some people don't appreciate being called out on their bullshit.
