It began in 1845 and in 1901 it was declared a Canadian Federal Holiday. It was amended in 1952 to be celebrated the Monday before May 25.When Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne it was her official birthday celebration though her actual birthday is April 21.

Simple law of physics. Two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. They do and disaster is the result.

So people die because of YOU. Unfortunate innocent casualties or your VICTIMS?You can't have it both ways. Of course people who do that don't give a rat's a** what they are called. They don't listen. They WANT and they DO and whatever else is going on is of no interest or consequence to them. LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WHEN THEY WANT TO DO IT! GET OUT OF THE WAY. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY! My way or the highway! Me me me me me me me me me me me me. Boring isn't it? less
Being a SLUT isn't reserved for dames alone. Guys can be sluts too. So many of them these days around protesting threatening intimidating demanding. Aren't they grand?

If you are way too particular about the definition of MURDER then call it whatever the heck you want to call it to preserve your dainty sensitivity.Mass "killings" will occur due to mass nutjobs going out and about as if there were no pandemic. They are all potential KILLERS. A society with a death wish. So intent on it they carry LOADED WEAPONS and invade and march. Nuts. less
They fight for the right to get ill and die and for the right to cause others to become ill and die. What else do they fight for and protest than that?Tell me how that makes sense.

The movie is timeless to me now -- it all could have happened yesterday. (And it was the first movie I saw with Montgomery Clift - he remains probably the best actor I've seen, overall. No matter what movie role, he always comes across as authentic, a real person, honest. Oh, yeah -- and incredibly handsome, ha. Guy Pearce is right up there with Monty, too, for me.) less

And every time I look up the video, it now has subtitles. (I find them distracting.)And they have inserted supposed unspoken thoughts of people in the video - - even more annoying to me. :)EDIT: Well, they don't want it posted. :) Here's a link to a youtube video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc&list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc&start_radio=1 less

Surely shirley there has got to be someone among them who served in the military in a battle.Having non-military doing it does not make sense and that goes for Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and any other president who NEVER served in the military. It's only fair and just and reasonable.My opinion. Anyone share it?How about Tammy Duckworth? She gave two legs to her country. I know. She isn't a Rep. So which Rep who served his/her country in battle would YOU pick? WHY him/her? less

Based on how he spent the last two days does anyone believe he gives a rat's a** about those who fought and died for our country? Or those who died and are dying from a pandemic?

He loves photos of himself except when he is doing something he shouldn't be doing or looks bad and doesn't want you to see him that way.Imagine what he looks like without hair dyes hair plugs and a hair stylist to make him look as he looks each day?Does he have tan applied to his body or use tanning beds?Everything with him is superficial topical.

Is there a word for that?I have read that anorexics see themselves as exceedingly FAT even though their bones prorude. Their body image is totally bonkers.Well I guess it can work the opposite way too. A MORBIDLY OBESE fatboy can see himself as SVELT and never see himself as he really is.
