mmmm do I smell a new caravan forming?


BTW this guy has same stance on women as most conservatives in US so no wonder Trump loves this guy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The guy is mainly supported by evangelicals. That should explain a lot.

This cuts to global greed. Unfortunately when you say this, these same assholes do not understand that pace of consumption and increasing pollution, may be good for short term global corporate profits, but it comes at the cost of ruining the planet, causing more unrest.

It isn't enough now simply to gain share holders and profits. The world needs to plan better and make business about solutions, not consumption.

Meanwhile, I, a Canadian, have put both Burger King and Tim Horton's (as well as Popeye's, which I was meaning to try someday) on my no-buy list because the Canadian branches are indirectly owned by a Brazilian investment firm.

Brazil has a serious educational handicap in the population. I know a lot of them (immigrants that come here to Portugal in search of better opportunities) and I notice that despite being on average good workers.

This also explains why ghey voted for such measly rethoric. That and the previous governments were haunted by corruption scandals.
