No I said he's an adult, he can handle himself and doesnt need to be coddled. You are the one with the reading comprehension issue. The fact he can drink is an example to prove he is an adult. The legal limit is there because of the responsibility needed. Many kids do drink despite being under 18 and the choices they make show.

Again, you're being absurd. Do I seriously need to explain to you that just being of legal age to drink does not make someone automatically an adult. Being of age to drink does not mean automatically that one is responsible. This is hilarious. Also, needing a support system in place, which everyone needs, from child to adult. Does not mean that someone needs to be coddled. It makes them human. Again, and I don't think you'll grasp it. He has the pressures of trying to make it as a pro hockey player while also facing the challenges of adapting to a new country and culture while also not currently being able to speak the language. What don't you get. As far as if that is the reason why he won't come back, if he doesn't. I can't tell you.

I’m an English speaking Canadian who went to visit Quebec for 3 days. Dear god, I didn’t know what I was gonna do with all these French speaking Canadiens around me…

Its a lot easier to read French than it is to read Russian. Just saying.

This is the stupidest argument I have ever read. Obviously you are a complete noodle head. As if when you turn 18 (or 21) your mature "adult" gene automatically kicks in and all youthful immaturity leaves the body.

They should do science experiments on you to see how you managed to accomplish this miraculous feat.

For anyone, because its the same alphabet. You can sound out the words and pronounce them and someone can understand you if you do. Go ahead and try to read Russian. Let me know how that goes.

You're a clueless fool. What I stated was what was hysterical was your insistence that Trump can't win because Taylor Swift will endorse Harris.

Name calling and moving the goal posts! This isn't a good look for you.

Yeah, French is so easy to learn, that’s why Lindros wasn’t willing to throw on the Quebec sweater. Nobody has to read it, just have to learn to speak it.

More people speak English in Quebec than speak Russian in the Allentown area.

Lindros didn't like the owner of the Nordiques. It had nothing to do with language barriers.

Cause I NEVER said that Trump can't win. I said that he faces an uphill battle with two huge entities such as Taylor Swift/Swifties and the NFL backing Harris. Apparently the Donald really understands this and realizes how much he would like to have Swift/Swifties on his side.

It's not moving the goal posts. It's simply just paraphrasing.


Goal posts represent a metric or a finish line so to speak

My terminology was probably incorrect, but I stand by the fact that I never said that Trump can't win. You put words in my mouth that I never uttered. The fact remains that he faces an uphill battle and at least he is smart enough to realize it. Swift will now get a cease and desist order for the old Trumpster, so that he no longer uses her image without her approval.

No, I didn't put words in your mouth, I just paraphrased. It's a tight race but he has the edge in the battleground states. It's funny, I follow the race closely and I never have seen anyone mention the Swifties as a factor in the race.

Oh wow, I guess I’m gonna have to go verbatim with every single person on this page.

You tell me what you’re trying to say because I just saw a YouTube video of a highly skilled kid who is going to need positional coaching.

Just wait for it. I'm ahead of the game as usual. The Swifties and Travis (NFL) will be recognized as a factor going forward as we get closer to the election. I'm not sure where you get your info, but I watched the World News tonight this evening and it looked to me as if Harris has taken the edge in those battle ground states. A major shift from a month ago when Trump was leading pretty soundly in those states.

If I’m stupid, as you suggest…you literally argue with me all the time. So I’ll let you do the math on your own argument.

I looked on Real Clear, I couldn't find the Swifties poll. By the way, Trump is up in PA and GA.

All I know is the 7 main swing states were all red a month ago and now 5 of the 7 are blue. I believe that PA was blue with Harris holding a 1.2% edge over the Trumpster! Just going with what ABC News showed earlier this evening. Better laugh now cause things could look rather bleak come November if this trend continues. You are going to eat those words on the Swifties. I find it remarkable that you don't see that as a factor when the Trumpster himself tried to facilitate a bold face lie to make it look like the Swifties are gonna support him.

On Real Clear, Trump is up in 4 of 7 battleground states. He is up in GA and PA. If Trump wins GA and PA, Harris can't win.

Can you tell me one Presidential election in history where a group similar to the Swifties, the fans of a pop star decided an election?

What lie did Trump try and facilitate?

AI generated images that suggested that Swift/Swifties were wearing shirts suggesting that they were supporting Trump. It's all over the national media. It's not just a pop star and her fans, but also a huge NFL star and his fans. Choose to look the other way if you wish. Oh, and thanks!

There is a group called Swifties for Trump, are you aware of that?

Again, name one time in history when a fan group of a pop star or an NFL star decided a Presidential election?
