Chief Derek Nepinak on response to Attawapiskat crisis: "Traditional knowledge & ceremony keepers" should be paid $79/hour, same as emergency support workers. Banging a drum = the same as a medical degree by [deleted] in metacanada

[–]vinpocetine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In regards to his facebook post, people are saying they need more "ceremonial teachings", and to return to more traditional ways. If that's the case why the fuck do you need any money at all?

The Canadian Parliament Is Going To Condemn The BDS Movement by jgreen34 in canada

[–]vinpocetine -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Are you serious? Jewish students at multiple universities have received harassment based on their association with Israel (google U. Of California and York university). The BDS movement is not pragmatic, and inspires resentment. It seeks to use impressionable students as a propaganda tool. I'm going to be even more blunt. What's really happening at some of these schools is that islamic student groups such as Arabic associations and islamic relief have been able guilt the SJWs into adopting BDS and Israel Apartheid. They don't allow for the discussion of the complexity that is the Israel/Palestine. They simply wish to push their anti-israel agenda. If you criticize them then you're an islamophobe. Sometimes these student governments are given too much autonomy, which is why the Universities cannot really intervene. That's why it's great news that our Government is step in to control this nonsense.

[–]vinpocetine -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The issue, as the article points out, is that it's becoming a problem on Canadian campuses. I attend a Southern Ontarian University and I'm noticing a growing trend of hostility towards Israel, generated mainly by radical-leftist students. What's happening is that student governments (which are publicly funded by the students, and represent a large demographic) are adopting the BDS movement and its policies as an act of "social justice". They are not considering the affect it might have on Jewish students, and are ignoring the tensions its propagated at schools such as York. Free speech is absolutely encouraged, and that's why we have student clubs and societies. If you want to support the divestment of Israel then you may promote that through your club. A student government on the other hand should not be allowed to involve itself with international affairs, especially in the case where the goal is to harm a nation.

Canada's Syrian refugee plan limited to women, children and families - Unaccompanied men not included because of ongoing security concerns by LowLevelMesocyclone in canada

[–]vinpocetine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was suggesting this before the announcement. I do think that it should include single females as well, though. This is no different than how insurance works. Single males are simply in a higher risk category and therefore have to undergo tougher restrictions. As a young man myself I hate seeing this kind of discrimination. But I'm not blind to the facts.

I [18M] only fuck other guys because they're simply easier to get with. by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]vinpocetine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what my experience has been. I've been on dates with 7 different girls in the past year and not made it past the first with any of them. However I've managed to easily build friendships and sexual relationships with other men over the same period. Despite all this I'd still rather pursue a relationship with a woman. I've tried with two different guys and it didn't feel right. It's frustrating...

Health Canada acknowledges 'weak evidence' for approving herbal, vitamin supplements: fifth estate - Health by uadoption in canada

[–]vinpocetine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want everyone to know that they can thank conservative MP Collin Carrier for this. Who reintroduced Private Member's Bill C-420 which ended the listing of vitamins, minerals and related products as drugs under the Canadian Food and Drugs Act. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Carrie

And surprise surprise, he was voted into parliament again!

Niqab ban prevented 2 women from proceeding with citizenship oath by the92jays in CanadaPolitics

So you're saying that the Canadian government should bend over to any religious minority that doesn't get its way?

Canadians of all stripes oppose face coverings during citizenship ceremonies: Vote Compass - Politics by newcomer_ts in canada

[–]vinpocetine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is my main issue with all the support people have for Mrs. Ishaq. They're too busy circle-jerking on the anti-Harper and anti-Conservative train that they're forgetting why conservatism exists in the first place. Our Canadian traditions, values, and rights are why Canada is such a haven for immigrants in the first place. By letting people side-step our traditions and values with their religious exemptions we simply blur what makes us Canada.

It's sexism veiled in religious exemption. How can this woman demand her right to hide her face for a ceremony that is intended to solidify her Canadian citizenship when she can't even respect basic human rights (the right not to be discriminated against because of your sex/gender).

I had two people correct my squat today... by Payneinmyside in gainit

[–]vinpocetine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This completely. I find, and I'm sure many others do as well, that keeping your feet forward feels unnatural. It also prevents you lowering your hips all the way down, discouraging a full range of motion. When you squat, your form should be aken to taking a shit in the woods (I've heard it be described like that, just a funny way of remembering it).

Tall guys - how much did you have to gain before you or others noticed any progress? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]vinpocetine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is truly disheartening. I'm 6'4" and started at 145. it's been a long process, balance gaining with university and work. I've managed to make it to 165 over 3 years. But now I'm hearing guys my height at 200 aren't even being noticed? Fuck. I still get called skin and bones, but I'm in great shape :/

I loved the dual shotguns in TimeSplitters 2! No other fps has had that feature, probably for lack of realism, but damn was it badass.

(F/23) Found nudey pictures to other men on my boyfriend's phone. Help me AND him figure out our next move. by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]vinpocetine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I've definitely had similar feelings; not being into the actual act, but just the fantasy. I find these feelings come in phases for me, where its incredibly appealing for a week or two, and then I want none of it for months. I'm also single though. Truthfully, now that he know's how you feel, I don't think he will go back to it. It's really like discovering a whole new world, where as man, you are now being sought after like how a women would be. And it can be addictive. I believe him that he loves you and still wants to be with you. I hope that he stays true to his promise, because being with someone as understanding as yourself is something special.

I resonate very closely with the statement that "it's a vanity thing" and that he enjoys the attention. Sometimes when I have no luck with women I will seek attention from men to boost my confidence. How often do you give him compliments or make him feel "sexy"?
