Canada did no better and in some ways worse during both of the world wars.
-
It was probably different for us. Here in Winnipeg there were very few black people at the time. None that I knew personally. The N word was used in the usual childhood rhymes and we used it against each other. Not black people. It wasn't really about racism. Our particular flavour of racism involved fear and distrust of native peoples. This would be early 70s at the latest. When I became an older teenager I began to understand why it was wrong.

In the early 70s nearly everyone used that word freely. We also used all of the now forbidden words that described people with non-approved gender preferences.

Electric Cessna 182 for skydivers
gowlerk replied to banimir's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
How much does it weigh? How much does it cost? Those would be the key things needed to know in order to answer your questions. -
Yes of course. You are just the guy who reposts the offensive meme and then says it has nothing to do with you, you are just passing on the message. Well.....let me tell you, that shit fools no one.

Isn’t that what Trump calls “a sucker”?
-
I’m pretty sure that to winsor anyone who is not explicitly anti-woke is a woke nitwit. Including you and me.
-
That’ll backfire quickly. It’s not even really a dog whistle. It’s in your face racism. Edit, I can find nothing about him actually speaking that word. What he did was call her ungrateful for the country. Other people are saying that means she is uppity.

Somehow you think it's wrong for her to have had a sex life? Do you believe that young marine didn't have one? Normal people have sex. Even your parents had sex. Are you pure, or just a misogynist?
-
And to think, all it took was a brutal 4 year war with many hundreds of thousands of deaths that still divides the nation. A nation that still cannot manage to pass the ERA.

I would propose a slogan or at least a theme for Harris. "Moving America Forward" Putting an emphasis on leaving some of the chaos behind. Kind of the opposite of maga. Framing Trump as a man of the past.
-
I don't know if I said that here, but I certainly believed that. My prediction record is about 25% correct.
-
I was going to comment about poor turnout in national election for the US. But maybe I'll just bite my tongue because it is actually almost identical to Canada's at about 63%.
-
When in reality Bishop Grandin was a force behind the residential school system that did so much damage.
-
Harris will be the nominee and will ignite excitement within the party and the electorate. But maybe not in the crucial swing states leading to the possibility of a historic popular vote lead and an electoral college loss.
-
Winnipeg recently changed the name of a major road from Bishop Grandin to Abinojii Micanah. The local right wing is losing their shit over it.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I fill that role here.

No one gets out. Not even dead.

Optimum 113 DOM april 2008 maximum weight ?
gowlerk replied to eric.fradet's topic in Gear and Rigging
I'm sure you are well aware of what those numbers mean and where they come from. Who to trust? Hanging either 220 or 254 lbs under a 113 sq. ft. 7-cell non ZP means that if anyone uses it they will need to be fully capable of flying it and landing it. If they are incapacitated in any way, or untrained or inexperienced they are taking a large risk. The manufacturer is not lying. -
And the voters say........he must go.

I simply mean to say "don't overthink it". Of all the decisions you have to make when buying a new rig this one is the least critical.
-
The man had a clear shot and missed from a relatively short distance. Obviously the deep state is not what it used to be. It’s lucky for Biden that SCOTUS has already given him immunity. This is where the MAGA world is going to take this event.

What will be the Result of a Trump Win After Jan 20th
gowlerk replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
I’m not sure why some people here think Harris can’t win. Biden did not win last time on a pro-Biden wave. He has never been terribly popular. He won as the anti-Trump. And he could do it again if he was not several years past his due date. Hell, Hilary even came close to beating Trump. Why do you think a D nominee must be popular to win? I see that she would just need to be not hated and be competent. -
For sure Biden would get a lot of votes. But quite a few people will just stay home. And as I’m sure you recall Trump nearly beat him last time around.

Roadworthy and airworthy are pretty much incompatible with each other. Your dream may come true in a limited sense one day. But the vehicle will not be very good at either mode.
