It’s a good thing that there is no history of soldiers obeying illegal orders and committing atrocities. Of course, there are plenty of people in the military who are quite happy obeying those orders because they agree with them.

That’s strange, because the Catholic Church officially endorses evolution.
Canadian soldiers in WWI and WWII are documented as sometimes following a “take no prisoners” policy. It happened in Normandy after some of them were captured by SS soldiers and summarily (and brutally) executed.
Besides, it’s not like any military in the wars (and probably ever) never committed was crimes during a conflict.
I think you forgot the part where the Supreme Court declared that basically anything the president does is legal. Citizens United drove a stake through the heart of American democracy, and this latest ruling cut its head off.
He desperately wanted to pawn the stolen guitars to buy drugs.
I understand your intention, but it also would have been confusing for anyone who didn’t know that he only had four fingers for a very valid reason.
In case anyone doesn’t get it, James Doohan (who is Canadian, not Scottish) lost a finger during the Normandy invasion in World War II.
Welcome to Elon’s Brave New World!
I have been using Language Transfer to learn Spanish, and it is easily the best system I have ever experienced, short of actually living in a foreign country (which is how I learned four of my five languages).
As far as I know, it is completely free but supported by donations. I have been paying $5 per month for several years now, completely worth it!
The languages they have are:
What’s a “ressision”?
Do you tell him that Trump has filed for bankruptcy six times with his companies? What does that say about his business acumen? How often has your uncle filed for bankruptcy?
Canada’s warnings are even more extreme.
Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.
Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:
Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.
We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.
And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).
No, Mao and Chiang Kai-Shek were tools of the international Jewish conspiracy. I think she said that Zhou En-Lai was the one who started helping them to destroy China by bringing them under the control of the Americans.
A Chinese person I know believes that Jews control the entire world. Even China was controlled by the Jews until Xi Jinping came along and tried to throw off the yoke. Apparently, the hooked nose is a dead giveaway for spotting Jews.
Fortunately, she is mostly isolated (by her own choice, she has a vehicle and plenty of time and money to socialize if she wants) aside from communicating online.
She also told me that the Mexican government had been taken over by Freemasons in the 1800s and become extremely hostile to the Catholic Church. Priests were killed or driven out of the country, monasteries and convents were closed, and Church property was forfeited to the state.
Actually, to my greatest astonishment, that last paragraph is completely true. Look up anti-clericalism in Mexico. The remnants of these anti-clerical laws were only removed from the Mexican constitution in 1992.
So the comics that are being posted have been edited then, right? Because in 1905 to 1920 they certainly didn’t have lasers, or even the word.
I think it’s not the going price for this sort of thing, because people don’t seem to be going to this sort of thing.
The law of supply and demand says that if they don’t have enough customers for their product, they have to either lower the price of the product, or stop selling it.
Of course, it’s more than just losing their jobs. What employer would hire someone with a target on their back from the President of the United States?
Their entire careers are screwed.
Just for context, 7,000 people were left behind, 1.1 million people died there.
Are you joking? Ontario pays about $8,000 per student per year for post-secondary education. It is the lowest in Canada. The next lowest is Nova Scotia, which pays $13,000.
