I told you how to find what you seek.

Look it up yourself!


If Carson said anything embarrassing you would have quoted it. You're making this whole thing up out of thin air.

You refuse to educate yourself!

That's being purely lazy!

If you choose to play deaf, dumb, and blind along with the other trolls, that's your CHOICE.

Remember that choices have consequences.

You've chosen not to educate yourself!

The consequence is that you'll remain in the closet and you'll be believing the right-wing propaganda for the rest of your life.

I'm ROTFLMAO at you!

It's been the best laugh all day!


You wasted all that time ranting instead of telling me what Tucker Carlson said. Like I said, you got nothin'.

Unlike you, I work for a living, I don't have time to do the research you yourself should be doing, instead of listening to propaganda from the rightwingers here on UHH.

But you have time to make comments on here. This is typical of every time I ask a liberal a question that they cannot answer. I can assume then that Tucker Carlson said nothing about Russia that you guys have been attributing to him. You are just making it up out of thin air.

Keep up with the news.

Google is your friend!


I don't listen to news. Why should I have to go hunting down information that Dirtman referenced just because he's to incompetent to write it down himself? And if you know something, why didn't you tell me either, instead of just telling me to look it up?

Norway is a NATO member and has a small common border way north, near Murmansk.

Finland has a long common border with Russia and a history of animus between the two.

Poland, Slovakia ,Hungary, and Romania are NATO members that have a common border with Ukraine. If Russia takes Ukraine, it will have a common border with these NATO member countries.

Moldova has a common border with Ukraine but is not a NATO member. I suspect that Russia has its eyes on them next.

There was a news article a few days ago to the effect that Russian troop carrier ships are steaming from the Far East toward the mediterranean. Turkey has closed the Dardanelles to Russian warships. We will see what happens if those reports are true and Russia presents a confrontation.

Lies have always been a part of Putin’s playbook in Ukraine. Back in 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine and Crimea, Putin initially denied Russian soldiers were behind the attack until he later said, of course, they were from his country. In his latest assault on Ukraine, Putin told the lie his troops were heading off to fight the N**is. Then the Russians began to make the bogus claim there were u.s.-backed biolabs. There is no evidence of that. Yet some on the far right, here in the United States, have amplified these lies so effectively echoing Putin’s propaganda

This is really interesting. I wasn't convinced at all that H****r would be indicted as long as his daddy was President. I'm still not convinced, seeing as there is a clear double-standard and corruption of justice in this administration, but hope springs eternal. When the Republicans take back the House of Representatives this year, at least they can showcase any investigations they want, though the Justice Department is not obligated to act upon their recommendations.

My entire point is the Phase 4 section of the keystone pipeline (the “XL” portion) is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!

That is one thing we agree on.

The other sections (phases 1 through 3) are currently delivering oil.


This conversation is too funny! I check into Hedgehog every once in a while just to see what's happening. I see that the Dirtman is still fouling up the spark plugs that run his six brain cells. It's like arguing with a doorknob.

The funny thing about your last paragraph and claim of the US being one of the least racially bigoted countries is that a number of years ago, and certainly with the e******n of Obama, I thought you guys had really nipped r****m in the bud. With the work of MLK, the number of B****s in high government and military offices and other professions (doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc), I actually thought of your country as a model of racial tolerance and ethnic integration. Then along came the media and hyped it all up again. The following link shows the dramatic uptick around the time that Trump came on the scene in his run for the presidency.

That was an incredibly perceptive article that you linked! Great find! I haven't finished reading it yet, but I will. One of the main gists was that the perception of increased r****m pretty is pretty much driven solely by White liberals. Even Black Democrats saw r****m declining from 2006 through 2015. Those are pretty much the trends I've noticed in my 63 years.

There has been literally an explosion of stories about r****m in the news media. And it goes 100% one-way - W****s against B****s mainly, and any other ethnic minority, and never the other way around. This despite the fact that B****s and other minorities are just as capable of r****t thoughts and actions as W****s are. In fact the Black on White crime is something like seven or eight times higher than vice versa. The idea of r****m has become so toxic that to be labeled one is a social death sentence. The "N" word, which had been used occasionally on popular television shows and movies, is now so forbidden that it is practically a crime to even mention it, even in reference. It is now much more acceptable to say "F You" than "Ni@@er," unless of course you are Black in which case you can use it all you want (I'm not kidding).

People on the far-left have become so sensitized as to label everything and everyone they don't like as "r****t." It's like a p******c every bit as pervasive as C****av***s. The news media are like hungry wolves awaiting the least bit of perceived slight by a White person against a Black, and when they find a victim, they pounce mercilessly and replay the sordid stories 24 hours a day. It is like something out of a futuristic science-fiction movie. It is nuts. It must be noted that the viewership of these sensationalized news organizations has fallen drastically over the last couple of decades. They had a resurgence of viewers when Trump was elected, but fell like a 16-ton weight as soon as he was out of office, literally, within days to a couple weeks.

You were right about the e******n of Barack Obama. It only proved that America was not as r****t as people were making it out to be. Years ago I had a Black girlfriend. She told me that she had never experienced a racial slight in her entire life, nor had ever been called a racial slur. She even once asked me what derogatory names White people called B****s (other than the well-known "N" word). I told her "Jungle-Bunnies and Jigaboos". She began laughing and said those sounded more like endearments rather than insults! She admitted that she had never heard of them before. I currently have Black neighbors living on either side of my house. We interact with each other without a hint of suspicion or discomfort. I used to tutor one of their daughters in English.

I think this whole r****m thing will eventually blow over, just like any mania or hysteria, but we are still in for some more ludicrous ranting and raving by the race hustlers who wish to keep this hatred going as long as possible.

I did not say that. I quoted an article on k*****gs; they were not my words.

As for the rest of your assault on Canada and our unfair treatment of indigenous populations and other minorities, have at it. I agree that the system has huge failings. My feeling is I don't care what your race/colour/religion, etc, you should be treated as fairly and as equally as anyone else. And my point is that the demographic percentage makeup of a country has nothing to do with the rate at which subpopulations commit crimes, get arrested, or jailed. The fact that the numbers do not correlate indicates something is amiss; it could be their behaviour, or their unfair treatment within the legal system; or both.

I actually agree with you about how to judge these justice systems. I have no reason to believe that Canada is racially motivated to put B****s and Indians in jail. The reason I brought all this up is that you quoted an article saying:

"Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among B***k A******ns was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 38 fatal shootings per million of the population as of January 2022. "

It is quite popular among l*****ts (and some Canadians) to trash the United States as a racially bigoted country, and sometimes the most bigoted country, when the t***h is that the U.S. is one of the least racially bigoted countries in the World. The people who make these claims usually have no idea of the actual statistics in our country or in any other country when it comes to incarceration, crime, police shootings, etc... They usually only know what the hugely sensationalized and deceitful press tells them.

There is a gross fallacy in your post. Your fractional/proportional statistics argument only makes sense if you believe that all subpopulations behave in the same way when it comes to law and order. I suspect no one believes that. And I am sure your "jailed population" ethnic proportion would bear that out.

The only reason I brought it up was because you charged that the United States was k*****g Black people by police at a disproportionate rate. By your own statistics I demonstrated that they were not, but found that Canada's police forces was k*****g B****s at three times their representation in the population. I even pointed out that B****s in the U.S. commit more than 50% of all the violent crimes, yet are not k**led at a rate any higher than their demographic representation in the population. And now this is the defense you are using to defend Canada's disproportionate k*****g of B****s and Indigenous people, and you are also shifting the goal posts to indict America on our percentage of minorities in the prison population. And since you brought it up, I did a little more digging.

In Canada, Indigenous people make up 30% of the prison population despite being only 5% of the general population, and 23% of the offender population. On top of this, Indigenous Inmates are:

More likely to be placed in maximum security institutions
More likely to be victims of use of force incidents
More likely to be involved in self-injurious incidents
More likely to be placed in solitary confinement
More likely to be held longer in solitary confinement
Serve more of their sentence behind bars before granted parole
Higher recidivism levels

And apparently this trend has been getting worse over the last two decades because in 2001 Indigenous people made up only 17% of the prison population. A quote from the article I found:

"Since 2010, while the population of White inmates has decreased by 23.5%, the Indigenous population has increased by 52.1%." On top of all this Indigenous prisoners had the:

highest proportion of their sentence served before their first federal day parole release (at 42%).
highest proportion of their sentence served before their first federal full parole release (at 48%).
lowest provincial day parole grant rate (71%)
lowest federal full parole grant rate (24%)
lowest provincial full parole grant rate (18%)
shortest supervision periods on day parole, full parole, and statutory release
lowest federal day parole completion rate (87%)
lowest federal full parole completion rate (81%)
lowest statutory completion rate (54%)

And then there is this quote from the article:

"BUT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE COMMIT MORE CRIME'

"This is a common counterargument I’ve heard when I’ve pointed out that Indigenous people are convicted and incarcerated at higher rates. Technically, the data doesn’t show that Indigenous people commit crimes at a higher rate. Rather, it shows that they are convicted at a higher rate. And if they’re apprehended and carded at higher rates, it makes sense that they’d be more likely to be convicted."

And now for Black prisoners.

B****s make up 3% of the Canadian population yet account for 8% of all prison inmates. This is actually down by 2% from a few years ago, probably because of the meteorological rise in arresting Indigenous people. I didn't bother investigating further.


All this shows is that if a Canadian wants to impugn the U.S. Justice System for it's unfair treatment of B****s or other minorities, he'd better look at his own country first. If the Wokesters here in America wanted to bash Canada over it's treatment of Indigenous and Black peoples, they would have a field day.
