    How was they shilling for Stein? Seems to me they were equating the fact that he’s mad Americans didn’t get out and vote with a past post of your where you expressed frustration that other Americans got out and voted for Stein.

    If I had to guess they didn’t want anyone voting Stein either. As Canadians we just wanted you guys to just show you learned after 2016. Forgive us if we’re a little mad considering all of the “51st state” threats that we’re forced to listen to daily up here. Do you know how frightening it is to have to think every day for months that you could be invaded by one of the worlds 2 superpowers? We’re mad up here right now, and hearing Americans say “yeah well what about what WE’RE going through” when we didn’t even have a say in this bullshit, is just very, very annoying.















  • Yeah! I got a couple of them into it when people came to me asking how I do my own edits, and from there it seemed to just be word of mouth.

    Thankfully I helped the first through get the basics down and they then passed that knowledge on and so forth, so it’s worked out pretty well. A bunch of broke ass skaters will learn anything as long as it’s free, it’s why we spend most of our time falling.



  • I think the person replying to you actually just outlined the point the post made. You can frame all of these views for both sides, and could let two people on both side argue about who is actually trying to be cruel.

    As much as I’d agree so much evil shit is going in, it’s a good point about how perceptions from others don’t change our own views lately and we aren’t even interested in discussing them. I also understand your point of there being no reason to try discussing them, but that’s the view the people on the other side have had for the past 9 years now, and that’s why we’re where we are. I’m not American but I truly wonder if there’s a way that people can capitulate to each other without having to start a civil war.
