By "we voted" how wide of a majority in AB voted for the NDP?
You might want to take note that the NDP at least appears to have anti-gun leanings and there are a hell of a lot of gun owners in Alberta. I know there was and still is a lot of disgruntlement over the High River incident a few years ago. All other issues aside, I'd be leery of them on the gun issue.
Just sayin....

I didn't vote NDP in the provincial election, in fact I actually voted for the PCs because I didn't see anything wrong with how they were running the province. I did vote for the NDP during the last federal election however, since they were the only party that took a stand against the TPP. Unfortunately, everyone voted for the f*****g Liberals because Justin Trudeau promised to legalize marijuana. Legalizing pot is nice and all, but there's more important things to be concerned about.


you should've voted for Wildrose and Brian Jean.

The TTP sucks by the way.

Occasionally, China, and even outer Mongolia.

In the story of Abraham and Sarah, a presumably-pagan Pharaoh knows that adultery unsettles nature itself. It's in our cheesiest soap operas, free to watch, and used to market our consumer products.

In the book of Daniel, when intelligent Jews are taken captive, to be indoctrinated, they are given high social promotions. We do the opposite.

Many exotic govts cannot be idealized, but are still utilitarian. They haven't passed that Romans 1 limit, into self-sabotage.


How many from Mongolia?

How many from China?

Half of oregon and Washington won't join that
So you'll have to move most the population of Salem, euene, and Portland to Canada. I'm so tired of Oregon being pretreated as a soldi liberal state it's a purple state that slight majority votes democrat


Geographically it might be a purple, but population wise, it is solidly blue. Harney county has what 5000 people? Multnomah county has 250,000.

I would hate living in either of those countries. I don't want to be ruled by left wing SJWs and I don't want to be ruled by right wing Jesus freaks. Both are equally as bad!


Just for my education: what is the opposite of a SJW?

This is a map of what America will look like after Civil War II.

Love maps. And love historic and antique maps.

Where did you find that?

I love it!

Its dated 1937. Its looks like that vintage.

It depicts "political boundries,and major Zeppelin routes".

But its definitely some kind of political satire of the time, because its fanciful by both that time and now.

I wonder who made it, and why.


On a satirical level some of the redrawings still make sense. I like how he lumps the Canadian Maritime provinces with upper New England into one country. Joel Garreu's best selling "The Nine Nations of North America" of 1981 made a similar slicing of the pie.

Other details are puzzling. Like the northern Prairie states (from Kansas to the border of Dakota and Canada) are labeled "the People's Collective" as if they were destined to become one big pinko commie commune. There was a lot of socialist thinking is some parts of the midwest, and Milwaukee even had a socialist mayor. But then and now the northern prarie states are considered part of the Bible Belt, and tend to vote GOP.

But I agee with the map maker about one thing! America should go back to Zeppelins. Non flammable helium filled (not hydrogen like the Hindenburg) and powered by solar cells. It would get us off middle east oil, and if you hijacked a zeppelin and flew it into a skyscraper it would just bounce off like a nerf ball! So what if they only go a 100 mph? Our lifestyle could use a little slowing down.


Arizona would never let the NEW Mexicans across their border.

So that is the opposite of a social justice warrior? Religious people do not believe in social justice?

Some religious people believe that justice happens as a matter of coincidence, as from on-high.

In the case of Israel being divided, etc, a natural disaster is said to occur within 24-48hrs, of every unfriendly policy. Books have been written on the subject, in which, for instance, a hurricane makes landfall upon a politician's mansion, which I believe is relevant to the OP's topic. If and when America divides Israel, such will happen to America.

More-generally speaking, though, there are laws on the humane treatment of animals, wives, hirelings, slaves, and thieves. Even the land itself is supposed to be given rest.

I don't know anyone on either side of the political spectrum, outside of DC, who was in favor of the TPP.

Not intended to be a judgement. I asked someone what the opposite of a SJW and was told a religious zealot, so I asked for elaboration.

I think that conservatism has borrowed from Allinksy-ite disruption tactics.

And, who is making a direct, physical contribution, for the common good, in that case:

red snark vs. blue snark

Who is actively taking care of physical things, while engaging in memetic warfare.
