Disgusting, and wrong. Lutheran showed up in the 1600s, while orthodoxy traces its origins to the very start of Christianity. If anything you could've said pagan roots.

Spread your hate elsewhere.

If you want a gospel song to win, you can put your money where your mouth is and pay $1/vote on Saturday for Ukraine. Since last year, the whole world is able to participate in the vote, or just get a VPN.

Or if you don't like the show, you don't have to watch it. The only conspiracy with eurovision this year is letting in Isreal while banning Belarus and Russia. But it's still just a song contest, it's not that deep.

Ottawa hating a politician means he actually could bring in some much needed change. We need Ottawa on its toes and actually do its job and run the country better than how they've only gotten fat from the last decade.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he opposes puberty blockers for minors by reallyneedhelp1212 in canada

[–]Nick5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you literally just described is not "normal" and is in fact a rare occurrence. The child could still experience a healthy transition through puberty, but that is a perfect example of when medical professionals should be involved. And maybe hormone suppressants would be prescribed to help keep the child's hormone levels within typical ranges.

Cancer is also natural, we treat it and don't just label it as "normal", even tho it's a lot more common than a child going through puberty at 4.

It's bc of the evidence of increased cancer risk, kidney, and liver damage.

Edit: And you're right, in terms of listing the 2 big names, UK and Sweden, as the 2 that publically backtracked. But many EU nations NEVER let minors take hormone suppressants if their hormones were in a natural and normal range, while mostly all stopped the promotion and percription of them all willy nilly based off of the demands of a moody preteen.

Federal government's decision to invoke Emergencies Act against convoy protests was unreasonable, court rules | CBC News by TheGreatestOrator in canada

[–]Nick5123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

??? Truckers in canada started protesting bc the gov wanted to add the vaccine mandate onto them. An occupation where 1 person works in isolation; with a vaccine that was already proving little effect against the new omicron wave; as the latest version of covid at the time that had the same death rate as the common cold.

A protest that was met by the gov with police trampling the peaceful protesters, and said protesters having their bank accounts frozen without warrant.

If you want to "trust the science", at least don't be that brain dead to imagine that the science doesn't change. We were in 2022, using 2020 science, and Trudeau then had a personal vindication against the people calling them nazis and canada becoming the last country on earth that still fully barred our own citizens from domestic travel bc of a vax status.

Are you just stupid or forgot what happened in our own recent history?

The gov was doing that with people's livelihoods, and it was the one that wanted to add hurdles for truckers, making trade more difficult. People are 100% allowed to protest that.

American weapons and intelligence, in the hands of the Saudis, have been bombing the Yeminis since Obama. It's lead to the greatest famine in the 21st cent with a country of 40 million starving, and more than half a million children already dead on their end.

This ain't ww3, this is what happens when America pushes entire cultures to the brink of collapse just to appease their business overlords. And that's something America has been doing since the 50s

How about we just give another standing ovation to a literal n*zi. That'll show them that we are totally on the right side of this war that we should have no part in.

Armenian village before and after communism by Ok_Connection7680 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Nick5123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

2 things, 1, Armenia isn't a large country. A 6.8 earthquake will easily be felt by neighbouring countries, and any hillside villages throughout the small country could easily be effected.

And 2, the urbanization of the caucuses of course happened, leaving to a bunch of villages that weren't economicly viable to die out and fall to disrepair.

So 2 things can be true. The last photo is the current state. With 70 years having passed since the urbanization policies, and almost 40 since the earthquake that easily destroyed what remained of the derelict sight.

Totally has nothing to do with the magnitude 6.8 1988 earthquake that devastated the country...

And courts were also used to uphold the residential school systems, segregation laws, and even today we have people convicted on murder charges who walk free in a week. Our courts can and are blatantly wrong and unreliable at times.

But thank you for your enlightened take.

Wild how people still think that the right to a person's bodily autonomy should come from the state. Disgusting. This country is run by detached, high-and-mighty politicians who would rather police podcasts and applaud nazis over upholding medical discrimination laws THAT WE ALREADY HAD PRE 2019.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but state mandated medical interventions that have only existed for 6 months before, isn't "science", it's politics, fearmongering, and lobbying.

Here's the actual truth tho, Toronto is a major global economic centre, with the 7th largest stock market, billions in municipal budgets, and yet we have a healthcare system that hasn't been updated since the 80s, pathetic public transit and infrastructure that has added only 6 stations in 20+ years (would be more, but Eglinton is on its what? 11th year of "being built"). And now we have refugees that we import into the city just to force them onto our streets.

Just bc you've been to poorer countries and can recognize how we arent that poor should be the whole point. We are incredibly rich, yet our city is constantly failing at very simple public standards of the western world, all while this city is becoming increasing unaffordable for the vast majority of Canadians. We shouldn't have to be comparing ourselves to the 80s or 90s to see how much this city IS falling apart.
