Well, China did manipulate the currency market to boost their economy.    I wonder how much that affected the $1.1 trillion the US owes them.

It's long been believed that KJU shot to the top because he was China's choice to take over when the dad died.    He was known as a buffoon and suddenly he's his father's choice to run the country?    China likes that he can be so easy to manipulate, rather than being a leader in his own right.

Methodist?!  WTF?!

Her religion is clearly feminism.

Let's not forget that it's the same Supreme Court that let a woman off for fucking a 14yo boy because she thought he was old enough, even though it was her son's best friend of several years and class mate.

I didn't know they funded NPR, but I knew that FB actively promotes NPR articles on FB.

This came out at the same time that we found out that FB actively buries conservative news sources.

@Eridanos:

Interesting, that fact that the UK gives welfare to the 'untouchables' even to this day.

It's been an issue in the UK for ages.

I think it was 2010 when the UK stopped giving China welfare payments.

Every time there is a cut in welfare in the UK, there's calls for ending welfare payments to India because they can afford to fund their "untouchables".

Why does Canada sign up to any international agreements, if they are going to disregard it?      It's like Israel and extradition treaties.

Ok, so let's assume that Canada does subscribe to the International Red Cross's optional protocol.    Now you have to show that the other countries involved also subscribed to it.  I can tell you that they don't.  Therefore it's not "international law" and has no bearing on the case except to terrorist lovers.

The Canadian Charter has nothing to do with international law and things that happen in foreign countries.  You seem to believe that Canada is the ruler of the world.

In at least 2 cases, the US followed international law by sending back 2 underaged terrorists to Canada.

Even Canada isn't labelling Kadhr a child soldier.

@Frederick:

You should have a priority of learning how to quote.  I don't think you intended on re-stating my statement.   You did that twice today.

And you spelled "announcement" as "accouncement" in this thread's headline.   :cheesy2:

No one cares about style points for quoting.  No one cares about red reputation lines.

How small is your world?

But EVERYONE cares about who gets upvoted/downvoted, right?

I mean, some little cowardly bitch hides in the shadows downvoting everything his enemies posts, but won't say anything.    Reminds me of the bikelock liberals who hide their faces.

At least with REP, you know who is doing it.

@aadam101:

Zuckerberg has already set up his estate so that most of his fortune will be given away when he dies.  A Trump would never do that….

So basically, fuck those that need help now.

I see how that's moral.  [/end sarcasm]

@aadam101:

Facebook is a massive corporation. They have like 2 billion users! They need a lot of employees.

Why are you Conservatives always trying to tear down rich white guys who earned their success? It seems you only like the one orange ones who were born with silver spoons in their mouth and wouldn't know a hard day's work if it sat on his lap (unless it was his daughter)

Umm, kinda funny coming from a socialist.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 38, (1989) proclaimed: "State parties shall take all feasible measures to ensure that persons who have not attained the age of 15 years do not take a direct part in hostilities".

Even here the UN says that 15yo and up are responsible for their actions, as they are no longer deemed children when it comes to combat.

The Geneva Convention (all 4 of them) only gives specific rights to legal combatants.    "Unlawful Combatants" do not have the same rights as legal combatants.  In fact, unlawful combatants have very few rights.

The International Red Cross does not dictate international law.  They can propose or suggest, but they can not make it.  This is why the they use the term Optional Protocol.  So using them as "proof" of international law is dishonest.

Canada does not have jurisdiction over it's citizens outside of Canada.      No international law allows for this.    They can ask, but if the offer is refused, there is nothing they can do about it, legally anyway.

Let's recap the story.

Kadhr, under international law, was a legal adult and responsible for his own actions.

He was an unlawful combatant.  As such, his actions were classed as terrorism and war crimes.

He confessed.

As an unlawful combatant, he did not have the same legal rights as a legal combatant.

"Unlawful combatant" are also called "unprivileged combatants" in the Geneva Convention due to the fact that they have very few rights.  They have their basic human rights and the right to be seen by the International Red Cross.  After that, they have almost no other legal rights.

Sending Kadhr to Gitmo was completely legal under international law.  The international Criminal Court, in the Celebici Judgment, set the precedent for this.

The US sent at least 2 under 15yo's back to Canada, in line with international law.

So, what we have here is a Kadhr acting in a completely illegal manner and getting punished for it.    Trudeau, in secret, gives him a $10.5 million taxpayer funded payout for his troubles.

Clearly, Trudeau has more love for self confessed terrorists/war criminals than he does for their victims.

@Shami94:

What hypocrisy for an American to start quoting international law about a 15 year old boy when they don't sign up to it themselves and force other countries to agree to not prosecute US soldiers for war crimes.

If you don't want to be the victim of attacks in the middle east, get the fuck out and stop invading them. A US soldier invading another country is fair game. They are not victims of a crime. They are casualties of a war they started.

Sadam brought us into a war in the middle east when he invaded Kuwait.

Bin Laden Brought us into Afghanistan when he attacked the US on 9/11.

Both were approved of by the UN.

The UK still gives India tons of welfare because of the caste system.  They won't help the "untouchables" so the UK has to.

Legally, women can't commit sex crimes or domestic violence.  When they tried to change the law on this back in 2012/13, feminists when fucking mental (more than their usual state) and made sure it didn't happen.

There is an area in India that is a matriarchy and it's far more abusive than anything you can imagine, but the Indian government ignores it since it doesn't violate any laws (see above).

Not everyone who runs for office is out for personal gain.

I became a councillor with 72% of the vote because I work to make my area better.    I guess improving my area can be called "personal gain".    My area is treated like the preverbal "red headed step child".

Just the 2.

2nd puberty is nothing compared to the 1st one.  All the changes are subtle.

Yeah.  How "voluntary" is it when you boss asks you if you want to do something?

The entire body is covered in hair follicles.  While in the womb, you grow and shed hair from every part of your body.  This happens twice.

So now that we have a baseline that the entire body is covered in hair, we can look a bit deeper.

The ear tab just before the opening varies by gender.  After 2nd puberty (around 25) the male ear grows a hair "bud" that's a cluster of hair follicles.  This is also the time that the male chin starts to change into it's adult form.

If you lightly scrape the inside of the tab, you should be able to feel the hair bud.

Without a genetic malfunction, women should not have hair buds.    However, it is possible to grow ear hair through a-gendered hair follicles on the ear.

But Hillary and her vagina were your saint.

How quickly you guys throw them away.

Clearly you are a party of one.

If you were in this section before the election, you'd know that Hillary and her vagina were viewed as the greatest thing since sliced bread by your fellow lunatic Moonbats.

I'm not really a fan of Bill due to DOMA and DADT, but I do think Ken Starr was brought in to get Bill at any cost for anything they could find.

On the plus side, Bill is the only President, since Ike started raiding Social Security, to not only NOT take money out of Social Security, he actually added extra funds to it.
