I repeat that my claims need to be proven false?

A) No.

B) And yet you repeat over and over that our claims need to be proven 
true.

Uhhh... nope. If you think I've posted a falsehood... prove me wrong. What I've 
posted IS my proof and evidence. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean 
you can try to get me to prove what I posted is true. That's NEVER been a 
Usenet thing... EVER.

You're such a fucking hypocrite. Every time we post something, you say it's not 
true, so you need to prove it's true. Fucking horse shit. No one does that... 
no one EVER done that.

It does not work that way. You can say it's false all you want, but if there 
WAS a rule that says you have to prove what you post on Usenet, then YOU must 
prove it's false.

Same as in the court of law. I post an article, I'm the prosecutor making an 
accusation. Our "accusation" is our article.

If you say it's false, YOU are the defense lawyer, trying to prove the 
accusation is false.

What I post IS my evidence.

You can say "it doesn't work that way" till you're blue in the face. It doesn't 
"work" EITHER way. The posted article IS the evidence... YOU have to prove it's 
false.

What are those who post to Usenet supposed to do? Write a fucking dissertation 
and proof of concept reply to his own post? No. That's why YOU reply... to 
prove it's false... not just voice your opinion that it's not true, if you 
think it's not. You can disagree all you want, but to ask for proof of truth is 
just an asinine childish bullshit game with you.

HOW is he supposed to prove that what he posts is true? NO ONE does that, and 
has NEVER done that, because there's no fucking RULES that SAY that.

Most often than not, I DO make sure the article is true by checking more than 
one or two sources. THAT'S my proof. The article and the fact I researched it. 
But, I'm not going to go through the bullshit of putting bibliographies in 
every post, telling you what I did to make sure it WAS true.

If you think it's false... PROVE it's false. You gay-ass hypocrite liberals  
always turn it around. If we say prove that it's false, YOU say prove that it's 
true.

If WE say prove what YOU say is true, then you do the EXACT same thing WE did, 
but you say, "no... it doesn't work that way."

You're nothing but children. 

By asking someone to prove what they post, is just more of your your pedantic 
and childish bullshit.

If you say somethings not true, YOU have to prove it false. 

Sorry, cock-holster... NO ONE has to prove their article is true. You're the 
one, amongst others, that when you hate the message, because 99 out of 100 
times, it's true, who goes into anaphylactic shock, screaming NOT TRUE... NOT 
TRUE, like a Gollum.

https://i.imgur.com/ZdngSN4.mp4 

NO ONE has the resources to prove the articles are true. If you don't believe 
it, refute it. PROVE it's not true.

YOU don't have the resources to prove it's not true, other than using your 
opinions, and that's what eats you fucking childish liberals up, so you play 
your fucking games.

You saying nuh uh, prove it's true, is just a childish way of telling us you're 
butthurt little faggots and don't like what we post.

Canada:

'Worst In The World': Here Are All The Rankings In Which Canada Is Now Last

Most Unaffordable Housing, Highest Cell phone Bills And Worst Rate of Acute 
Care Beds, To Name A Few

If you spend any time on social media, it's likely that you've seen this 
graphic compiled by columnist Stephen Lautens that assembles 11 international 
indices which feature Canada near the top spot. "Canada is broken? I don't 
think so. Neither does the world," reads a caption.

Next time someone rants on how about how "broken" Canada is; or how badly we 
are doing on the international stage... share some facts.

Numbers don't lie, Felicia.

Naturally, it only tells a partial picture. While Canada may dominate abstract 
indices such as "quality of life" and "peace," there are plenty of far more 
empirical indicators in which we measurably rank as among the worst in the 
developed world.

There's plenty to like about Canada, but below is a not-at-all comprehensive 
list of all the ways in which we are indeed very broken.

WE HAVE THE MOST UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE OECD

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is essentially a 
club of the world's 38 most developed countries. And when these 38 are ranked 
against each other for housing unaffordability, Canada emerges as the clear 
champion. OECD analysts rank affordability by comparing average home prices to 
average incomes, and according to their latest quarterly rankings Canada was 
No. 1 for salaries that were most out of whack with the cost of a home.

Housing by price to income ratio for the second quarter of 2022. That's Canada 
on the extreme right.

WE HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE WIRELESS COSTS

Every year, the Finnish telecom analyst Rewheel ranks the world's most 
expensive countries for wireless services. And last year, Canada once again 
dominated. Across several metrics, Canada was found to be the most expensive 
place in the world for mobile data. Analysts found that it would cost the 
average Canadian the equivalent of at least 100 Euros to obtain a cell phone 
plan with at least 100 gigabytes of mobile data. Across much of the EU, that 
kind of cell phone plan could be had for less than 40 Euros.

Canadian telecoms charge more than 10 times as much for 100 gigabytes of mobile 
data as companies in France or Ireland.

WE HAVE THE LOWEST RATE OF ACUTE CARE BEDS AMONG PEER COUNTRIES

Canada's health system was particularly walloped by COVID-19 due to the simple 
fact that most of our hospitals are at the breaking point even in good times. 
Multiple times during the pandemic, provinces were forced into shutdown by 
rates of COVID that had barely been noticed in better-prepared countries. A 
ranking by the Canadian Institute for Health Information provides one clue as 
to why. When ranked against peer countries, Canada's rate of per-capita acute 
care beds was in last place, albeit tied with Sweden. Canada has two acute care 
beds for every 1,000 people, against 3.1 in France and six in Germany.

TWO OF THE PLANET'S "BUBBLIEST" REAL ESTATE MARKETS ARE IN CANADA

For at least 15 years now, Canada has been a regular contender on rankings of 
overheated housing markets. And the latest UBS index of world cities with 
"bubbly" real estate markets is no exception. In their 2021 index, Toronto was 
second only to Frankfurt in terms of bubble risk, while Vancouver ranked sixth. 
Aside from Germany, Canada was the only country that saw two of its cities in 
the top ten.

risks," and they're both in Canada.

WE RACKED UP COVID DEBT FASTER THAN ANYONE ELSE

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in the most feverish global accumulation of debt 
in the history of human civilization. So it's rather remarkable that amidst 
this international monsoon of debt, Canada still managed to out-debt everyone 
else. Last year, analysts at Bloomberg tracked each country's rate of public 
and private debt accumulated during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Canada came in with an overall debt burden equivalent to 352 per cent of GDP. 
While a handful of countries (Japan, France and Hong Kong) came out of the 
pandemic with higher overall debt burdens, Canada outranked all of them when it 
came to how quickly that debt had been accumulated.

THE PORT OF VANCOUVER IS (ALMOST) THE MOST INEFFICIENT IN THE WORLD

Last year - just as the global supply chain crisis got going - the World Bank 
decided to rank the performance of the world's 370 major ports. Authors weighed 
factors such as how long the ports kept ships waiting, and how long crews took 
to unload a vessel. And when everything was added together, the Port of 
Vancouver ranked 368 out of 370. The only places with worse scores were the 
Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach. And it's not like our other 
ports are much better. If Vancouver is too gummed up, you can always sail north 
to Prince Rupert, which ranks 339 out of 370.

TORONTO PEARSON IS THE WORLD'S MOST-DELAYED AIRPORT

Flight delays are another category in which basically the entire world is 
feeling the pinch. And yet, Canada still managed to outdo all of them. Last 
month, CNN used data from the website FlightAware to figure out which airports 
were seeing the highest rates of flight delays. In the number one spot was 
Toronto Pearson, with 52 per cent of all flights out of the airport 
experiencing some kind of delay. And it was a commanding lead; the second-place 
finisher, Frankfurt, only managed to see 45.4 per cent of its flights delayed. 
Toronto was also a contender in flight cancellations; with 6.9 per cent of its 
scheduled flights never getting off the ground, it ranked fourth worst in the 
world.

WE'RE ONE OF THE WORLD'S WORST ECONOMIES FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT

A 2020 study out of the University of Calgary tracked foreign investment flows 
into a cross-section of developed countries between 2015 and 2019. Virtually 
every country on the list saw a surge in foreign cash during that period; 
Ireland topped out the ranking thanks to its foreign investment climbing by 
more than 115 per cent. Only four countries actually saw a reduction in foreign 
investment: Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Canada. A report by the Business 
Council of Canada noticed the same trend. "Canada is the second-worst in the 
OECD on openness to foreign direct investment," it concluded.

WE DRIVE THE MOST FUEL-INEFFICIENT VEHICLES IN THE WORLD

In 2019, the International Energy Agency examined the fuel economy of the 
world's private car fleets. On almost every measure, Canada led the pack in 
driving unnecessarily huge, gas-guzzling vehicles. Per kilometre driven, the 
average Canadian burned more fuel and emitted more carbon dioxide than anyone 
else. Canadian cars were also the largest and (second only to the U.S.) the 
heaviest. While it would be convenient to blame this on Canada being a sparse, 
cold country with lots of heavy industry, our ranking was well beyond plenty of 
other countries where that was similarly the case.
