Disagreeing with statist rhetoric is not evidence against anyone’s mental capacity. I will not be buffaloed by insinuations that I am mentally defective, since I have abundant proof that this is not the case. If anyone in this conversation lacks mental capacity, it is yourself, for blithely assuming that your opponents are ipso facto stupid.
Really? What are the toxic effects of ‘this kind of rhetoric’ on the human system? What is its LD50? Does it, in fact, have such effects at all? Or are you merely being rhetorical yourself, to the point of plain absurdity? I conjecture the latter.
Indeed. Which is why one must carefully investigate the alternatives, and allocate the limited resources available where they will do the most good. The CBC is not an instance of this; it is merely a case of allocating resources where they have been allocated for more than 70 years past, because the bureaucracy acts as a lobby for its own continuance.
The CBC is a political and ideological monoculture. If you want diverse and ‘variant’ broadcasting, you had better leave it to the voices of the citizenry than to a self-perpetuating bureaucratic monolith.
We have been waiting now since 1936. Where are these massive benefits of which you speak?

Did anyone else notice that this post by Jay Random started off like a normal person talking until the part where his mental capacity was questioned, then it was like he went on google and started looking up smarter ways to say things, and it came off really unnatural.
