Don't be daft.

You're confusing the language of a 1900 year old religious text with the Church's relation to miracles.

Stick to things you know about.


In Poland people don't swear on religious texts in court. In the U.K. you can choose not to. I'm sure it's the same where you are since some Christian denominations refuse to swear oaths on the bible.

Displaying religious texts on public property is controversial and in your country potentially compromises the constitutional separation of religion and state,

Merriam-Webster, a popular American English dictionary, disagrees. In Standard English it can be used in defining relative clauses though it is less comfortable in non-defining relative clauses. In general, "who" is restricted to humans (and sometimes primates and household pets) however "that" is more flexible.


It is fine in that sentence. I would however have started that sentence

A best selling book from the 90s, called Miss Smilla's feeling for snow, touches on Weat Greenlandic. It's a good book, a murder thriller and I recommend it.


There are languages with far fewer speakers than that sadly. Especially moribund languages. There is one in Poland that has fewer than 100 living speakers. It's been mentioned here a few times. Its name is Wymysiöeryś.

You are correct. The RCC believes that miracles are a matter of faith and discernment. They never say that something was 100% a miracle, only that it appears miraculous and they believe that it is such after prayer and reflection.

Since you and I both share 98% of our DNA with a lobster or an apple, your "group" is a large one.

So that's a no then.

There are no 'crazy laws'.

Just eminently sensible ones.


You don't. You've never been there and hardly ever leave your scruffy house nowadays. A shut-in.


We know. Your hate has eaten you.


The hate that ate you did exactly that.

40 is still young and as I recall you have fair hair which will actin your favour.


Young people like snazzy dressers with charisma too.

Sometimes you have to adjust expectations a bit. Half the men in the world would want to shag Taylor Swift but most of their wives or girlfriends wouldn't necessarily want to be photographed next to her.

It doesn't.

Name one.


It doesn't have that either.

BTW. Saying what you hate (and you do seem to hate almost everything) isn't illegal. Encouraging murder or inciting violence is illegal and rightly so.

Perhaps you should calm down a bit.


The government decided not to do that since it was a bad idea but hey, why care about the truth. You don't.

That's what happens when right-wing governments condone landlordism. Hard to know why you mention the U.K. though. A failed attempt by you to deflect .


Inflation is 1.9% there.

By 'accumulated inflation', perhaps you're trying to understand Cumulative Inflation. 29% over 9 years is not exceptional and of course in Canada has been accompanied by a rise in living standards, significant poverty reduction and better governance.

Oh, and a 66% increase in average net worth...

Again, meaningless.

It's hard to think of any western democracy that has 'crazy laws'.

It was.

Some interesting facts here. Economic growth under Trudeau was 41%. Under Harper it was 18%. During the Trudeau years income growth was 23%. During the Harperf decade it was 7.6%. Median Canadian net worth soared 66% between 2016 and 2023. They had the second highest GDP ration in G7 during that period.

Also, Trudeau reduced poverty from 14.5% to 9.0%. Conservatives always want to make it higher to increase stress levels, suppress wages, lower taxes for the wealthy and punish the poor.

And very importantly, 500,000 children were lifted out of poverty by the Child Care Benefit.

As is anywhere stupid enough to use a strategic nuclear weapon on another country's capital.


NATO has three nuclear powers and in any case, trumpcvnt and his advisers are not stupid enough to withdraw from NATO.

Indeed. And of course Jarek Kaczyński was voted out after a very short time as PM.

Premier Trudeau (and his father before him) however got reelected and the current Trudeau stepped down after 9 long years of hard work.

He's still young; I'm sure the world hasn't seen the last of him.

And they'll switch back to the other side in a few years. That's how things happen in democracies, including both Poland and Canada as well as pretty well anywhere else where democracy prevails.

Anyway, he's was elected, re-elected and has decided himself to call it a day.


They lost.


That will happen there when the conservatives are voted out again.

Who has he openly and recently "not ruled out" invading.

Anyway, he'd not get away with invading and nor is Greenland for sale.

Quite normal for an outgoing leader. He's a good guy,, elected two or three times. Just a shame he's not more radical

I know that already and don't especially need to calm down unless calming down means stopping laughing and stopping any empathy for the people over there who have to put up with that person of bad character who says things like that.

I'd be happier though if your country wasn't about to be governed for 4 years by a gobshite who talks about that.

Some guy in the pub or one of the daft rightwingnuts here can come out with crap like that as much as they like. Elected heads of state or government should watch their tongues more carefully and it is a serious sign of instability and rabble-rousing populism. That never ends well.

At least he and that Namibian Bond villain give us all something to laugh about.

Indeed however that job wasn't to take a friendly country's sovereign territory.

There is already a very large military base there and has been for decades. There's no reason to invade and every reason not to.

It wasn't, it was bloody obtuse as usual.

Why would someone criticise Canadians, most of whom descended from migrants or migrants themselves, from being migrants?

Noi, I saw it and don't disagree.
They can't, in the sense of "can't" for permission, and Putler hasn't 'taken' Ukraine despite getting.

Putler and Xi are both twats and their behaviour is unacceptable to the international community.


He's a twat too. Do you really want a president with the absent moral compass of Putler and Xi?
