Better yet target the sponsors. If enough people get involved and the likes of Coke are getting bad press they will pretty quickly persuade the IOC to change.

It works in Portugal because it’s a small country. Portland decriminalized hard drugs and there’s open drug use all over. It’s gotten significantly worse, and people flock here because they won’t get arrested. It’s only works if actual rehab and mental health facilities are available

Yes there were reports recently that France was thinking of sending Mirage's.

Are you responsible in some way for the war in Ukraine? If yes, then you're part of a democracy. If no, then you are not.

Number 1 for deaths caused by infections though

Big push, village?

Did the native Americans settle on the old European homeland? Did they shoot tens of thousands of rockets on innocent American civilians?

Americans thinking everything in the world is similar to them is so ignorant.

It's also a very young population overall, which helps.

Access to the kind of healthcare you need to battle mental health and addiction issues in Canada is completely inadequate. I wouldn’t be surprised if Portland has more access to services for struggling people actually. I may be totally off base but they have a huge amount of funding for this population given their size, as I understand.

Well, Brazil also helped Ukraine with humanitarian aid.

There are other places in the national budget and public till. Eg, tax foreign property holders, tax the wealthy and corporations instead of raising the age for pensions.

What I think is that's not on the topic of discussion here. And that shouting random topics from the nosebleeds in the back, that are connected only in your mind serves nothing in relation to this topic or your own.

and we were GOOD AT IT

wonder why we invaded WEAK places???

not for the sights!

Soviet Era whataboutism? So you think that slim Kissinger doesn’t belong up with on the list with the likes of Putin? And Bush own illegal war based in a false justification? “Oh, we are denazifying Ukraine cause it’s got Nazis!” “Oh, we are invading Iraq cause they got weapons of mass destruction!”

Yh, fuck off with your own selective treatment whataboutism. We should send all these scum bags to the gallows. Oh but we can’t cause half of them are on our side.

They always protest lol. But does it lead to anything?

Sorry doesn't put thumbs on the hand, Marge!

This won't change much of anything. For all intent and purpose drugs already were decriminalized. Either they were not charged or they were charged released and when the court case came up given unsupervised probation.

So no real change.

Does this mean the Vatican is going to give back all that they've plundered in their history?

Well access to healthcare is a huge hurdle for Americans. Culturally to accept.

Well they would have to supply it. IIRC Switzerland saw success with treatments like this, but Im not well versed in the details.

Unfortunately, Republicans have blocked the U.S. from pursuing wind and solar technology.

>You're not seriously actually going to try and claim that Russia is a democracy are you?

If you want to discuss if Russia is democracy or not we need to first come to an agreement what is democracy in it's core. My answer will depend on that. I have a feeling we are understanding this term differently.

>Surely you recognize that the legal framework of Russia is entirely ignored by your own government?

Not in the field I have been working in for 6 years (comminications).

>Do you actually believe your constitution is given any reverence at all?

It is for me as a citezen. Can't say for everyone, but I believe there was some court cases in constitutional court that has been won and lost. I'm not familiar with the matter enough to debate outside of my persona.

>Do the things on Russia-1 not strike you as absolutely absurd?

Took me some time to realize you speak about TV. Since I have a freedom not to watch it or watch anything at all. I use this right all the time and refrain from watching it or any other huge network station even though I have access to any TV in the entire wide world using my internet connection. In other words I have a right to pick the sources of information. From what I see I can say most of big networks are incredibly biased and absurd no matter if it's Russia-1, Russia-24, CNN, BBC, FOX etc.

>The propaganda designed not to mobilize a population politically but instead convince it to stay out of politics and throw their hands up because they can't figure out the truth?

I did not notice such propaganda. But to be fair I did not notice propaganda that engaged political activity as well (except when there is a vote - during the vote they are practically dragging me to voting station - they even make calls asking me if I have casted my vote yet, making a voters lottery and shit)

Just stop it with your Soviet era whataboutism. Start your own post if you feel so strongly.
