  • Why crucify the lawyer?

    In order for someone to be punished in a just society, they need to have a trial.
    In order for that trial to also be just, both sides need to be able to put forth their side of what happened.
    In order to make sure that there isn't a mistrial, both sides need competent lawyers, and the case needs a competent judge.

    The alternative is that that police can just target people they don't like, knowing that they likely can't defence themselves, even if they are innocent.

  • Formatting thing: if you start a line in a new paragraph with four spaces, it assumes that you want to display the text as a code and won't line break.

    This means that the last part of your comment is a long line that people need to scroll to see. If you remove one of the spaces, or you remove the empty line between it and the previous paragraph, it'll look like a normal comment

    With an empty line of space:

    1 space - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don't really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.

    2 spaces - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don't really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.

    3 spaces - and a little bit of writing just to see how the text will wrap. I don't really have anything that I want to put here, but I need to put enough here to make it long enough to wrap around. This is likely enough.

  • They were considering selling 49%, but the percentage is meaningless without looking at the articles, the bylaws, and resolutions. A lot of corporations make things more strict than the Bus Corp. act. You can always make things more strict, you can't make them more lax.

    In fact, some things require a "Special Resolution" which is 2/3rds.
    BUT, that can mean 2/3 of the shareholders who show up, as long as enough people show up to make a quorum.
    And a quorum can be as small as 1 person, again, depending on the Articles, bylaws, and resolutions.

  • Question what is considered 6th grade.

    This is a statement, telling the reader to consider, or be skeptical of, what the common understanding of what 6th grade is.

    Question: what is considered 6th grade?

    This asking the reader what most people think 6th grade is.


    So, how did you read the comment? It isn't a question; it's a statement in both sense of the word.

  • Someone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn't even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.

    She's financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of "the other",. A very prototypical far-right politician.

  • If you look at who is doing the work it'll give you a clue.

    Most of them were international students who'd recently graduated or other newcomers working their first job in Canada.

    Getting a job when your first language isn't English is hard. It's also hard when all of your references might not speak English, are half a world away, and you don't really have a "network" in Canada. You might be willing to put up with a lot of shit in order to have some work history in Canada.

  • I do agree that people in the same sport will train the same muscles, but they normally start with a biological advantage in order to be good enough in the sport to start to train specifically for it to begin with. There are other things than height, such and foot/hand size, torso length, natural testosterone levels, how fast your body removed lactic acid, if you were born with a cardio-vascular issue, dozens of factors that affect your balance, and much more.

    Someone with Ehlers-Danlos isn't likely to become a powerlifter.

    1. Trans men get the ability to compete with other men, I assume you mean trans women get to compete with other women.
    2. No one actually cares about women's sports until "the trans issue" comes up. This argument is just an excuse to try to harm trans people. Most people can't name a WNBA team, or name more than 5 female athletes.
    3. Biological differences is what professional sports are. That's why people who have similar builds seem to play the same sports.
