Poltical Opinion - Conservative

Granted, this is Canadian themed but I'm assuming the party's values and creeds are pretty worldwide in essence and have many things in common with their British namesakes and the Republicans in the US for starters..I just want to know if people agree with most things here or whether they find any g...

Re: North Korea conducts third nuke test

Re: HIV Vaccine - Human trials begun

Fascinating article. I can see now how this led them down the road...but it looks like the OP is even more intriguing...IF they can replicate the preliminary results in a way even close to what they are hoping...individually this could be as good as a cure. It'd be identical to a gene therapy that p...

You dont seem to grasp the entirety of the situation. The situation is, Canada, of 30 million, occupies 50% of the USA, and is forcing the US population into smaller and smaller areas. Any rock thrown by a US citizen at a Canadian invader is met with by deadly force. THAT is the situation. Inaccura...
