We need to increase the military budget. That isn't Conservative, it is a reality.

What tax cuts are you referring to? I have only heard of the tax cut for middle class, and that was supported by the NDP from what I know.

Anyone with either millions or billions is the problem because no single person needs either.

For a "Progressive", you sure do like to use Conservative talking points and nicknames a lot.

How about instead of begging to be taxed you invest that money into a project needed to help Canadians who aren't well off.

Build housing with your money.

Build infrastructure with your money.

Help others fund Green alternatives with your money.

Donate to the thousands of charities who will do this all for you if you are lazy.

But stop bitching like you do not have the option to spend that money well on your own for the benefit of others. Especially when the rhetoric is "Government bad" at all times making it really hard to push for a tax increase on anyone.

Thank you for sharing this absolutely hilarious story. Gave me a hearty laugh in the morning. haha

Good luck getting passed it! I know I wouldn't be strong enough. haha

I would suggest going to the Library and seeing if they have a Russian language course, or finding one at a book store if you can afford it. I find having an actual structured course helps me in my learning, and it will usually include resources like audio.

Pot meet kettle.

Have a good one.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have no experience in C, but I do like Python.

Japanese is a language I have on the burner to learn. I have had a full course on it for years but never got around to getting beyond basic greetings.

After I am done learning Greek, I am going to refresh and learn more French, and then Japanese is next because I love Anime and Manga and want to watch/read it as it should be.

What made you decide to learn Portuguese?

That is one of the harder things I have noticed about learning language in general. There is always a clear difference between how a language "should be spoken" and how it actually is in practice with native speakers.

What got you interested in Mandarin?

I found the alphabet and grammar easy to understand personally, which is why I am able to read before I can do basically anything else.

Greek is spoken in Greece and numerous other countries because of the Greek diasporas in the world.

Coming from a Greek family, while the locals may speak English they generally prefer to and appreciate speaking in Greek especially in Greece.

Thank you for the well wishes.

You should try forming a point of view of your own before attempting conversation in a very nuanced subject.

I am not and have never denied the fact that the Israeli Government is full of bad people.

I can pull just as many quotes from the other side of the conflict, and the point would be just as moot.

The rhetoric is extremist and wrong, those speaking it are wrong, and every single person responsible for what is happening should be brought to justice.

Is that clear enough for you? Probably not.

Define "they".

The simple fact that under international law a state has a right to territorial integrity and safety from aggressive actions means that a state has a right to exist within their borders under international law.

You are free to elaborate at any time on your point of view.

A right to territorial integrity and to not be attacked is literally the right to exist.

Zionism is a fascist ideology based upon building an ethno nation states wherein those of other ethnicities are expelled or exterminated.

Why do other ethnic and religious groups exist in modern day Israel if they were all supposed to be expelled or exterminated?

Not arguing against the fact that Israel doesn't have equal rights for everyone. Arguing against the other person assertion that everyone was expelled or exterminated.
