You can surgically remove all the limbs your body has and it doesn't change the DNA.
Is gender dependant on DNA? If so, then what about those with androgen insensitivity? They have the secondary characteristics of a female but are genetically male (XX). So are they male or female?

You guys had a far superior military to that of the Viet Cong. Yet you guys lost. Just because a nation has a superior military doesn't mean it'll crush another one "without sweat".

Guns
There isn't a total gun ban in Canada. You're allowed to carry firearms with a license, which comes after you pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course. Sure, it takes longer to acquire a firearm in Canada than it does the US, but it comes with the benefit of having a 7x lower Firearm Homicide Rate [1]:
Total Death Rates per 100,000 Population by Non-US High-Income Countries, 2010:
Firearm Homicide Rate:
Canada: 0.5
United States: 3.6

one is biology, the other "feelings", how does a man know what it feels like to have a real vigina?  and vise versa, how do you know you are missing something you never had and don't know anything about?  
It's a mental disorder not a physical one.

the ruling is a feel good ruling that is all, anyone can be fired generally for any reason or no reason.  If this was an issue for me I'd keep really good records on lateness, productivity etc and if I had to "down size" then that's the excuse I would use, they really solved nothing other than telling employers don't make it obvious if that's your reason.

There were a multitude of reasons why we lost Vietnam that had nothing to do with military. Namely because it was severely restricted compared to WWII.

Never said there was. How are those AR-15s looking? Have your rights been incorporated yet?

I kinda think they were both right. Gays should have the same protections as women, but the SCOTUS really needs to have Congress do these changes to the law.
but they won't. The republicans know there is a relatively small, but very vocal chunk of their base that will turn on them if they ever allowed these sorts of protection to be passed into law. They also know that legislating openly against LGBT rights is a massively unpopular position in large parts of the country and would hurt them pretty badly. So they simply won't do anything. They will ignore the issue and hope it goes away. 

But the part that might piss off the right the most in this, is that it is exactly their preferred method of interpreting the law that caused the court to rule this way. The right loves to push textualism (basically ignoring what the intention or purpose of a law is and solely looking at the text of it instead). In this case, the text says you cannot use sex to discriminate. so:

"If the employer intentionally relies in part on an individual employee's sex when deciding to discharge the employee—put differently, if changing the employee's sex would have yielded a different choice by the employer—a statutory violation has occurred."

The major reason why the US lost is that it was (and to not an insignificant degree still is) unprepared for the realities of post-WWII asymmetrical warfare. 

How are those AR-15s looking? Have your rights been incorporated yet?
How are those school shootings looking? Are all your teachers trained to use guns yet?

Doesn’t mean we couldn’t kick y’all’s ass. Guerrilla tactics  were easy to quash during WWII. Now because of restrictions not so much. We could destroy your military and occupy your capital within a week if we chose to. Can you?

Y'all can enjoy your murder weapons. At least our press has significantly more freedom (Canada is 16th in the world. US is 45th) ;)

Ask any WWII veteran who fought in Iwo Jima and/or Okinawa and they will disagree.

Now because of restrictions not so much.
Which restrictions exactly? Because the US dropped more bombs in Vietnam than were dropped in WWII in the European and Pacific theatres combined.

You guys said that in 1812, too. Also, NATO (and other allied countries as well). Also, Canadians aren't exactly ones to roll over and submit to invaders. 

Even if the US managed to annex Canada, the occupation wouldn't last long.

LOL a list, with no actual context and at best biased and loaded questions, if that's the best ya got you have my sympathy.
I read they equated freedom with criticism of the media as if the more you criticize it the less freedom, um yeah, ok, sure thing.

Freedom of the press is not construed as an absence of interference or outside entities, such as a government or religious organization, rather as a right for authors to have their works published by other people.

Doesn't Canada have hate speech laws?
sounds like Canada has more censorship than the U.S. too?

Which laws restrict the press in the USA? The courts have sided with the press countless times. But once again you change the topic.

Sure they’ll say nukes were very efficient at stopping guerilla tactics once and for all.

Was there a physical occupation of the US military of the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos? Nope.

You guys said that in 1812, too. Also, NATO. Also, Canadians aren't exactly ones to roll over and submit to invaders.

Even if the US managed to annex Canada, the occupation wouldn't last too long.
Lmao 1812😂. Ya I’m talking about right now. We fund NATO. Our military is far superior and it would end your government in an instant. You guys couldn’t even come close to D.C.

Got any better sources?

I would love to see the article that you read. If it exists.

Freedom of the press is not construed as an absence of interference or outside entities, such as a government or religious organization, rather as a right for authors to have their works published by other people.
From your very own source:
Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely. Such freedom implies the absence of interference from an overreaching state; its preservation may be sought through constitution or other legal protection and security.

Doesn't Canada have hate speech laws?
What does hate speech mean to you?

sounds like Canada has more censorship than the U.S. too?
The US has its fair share of censorship, too.

Canada Says It Has Authority to Censor Internet in United States
This was a court injunction given to Google about de-indexing pirated content, not restricting free speech (unless you call pirated content "free speech").

Nevertheless, freedom of the press in the United States is subject to certain restrictions, such as defamation law, a lack of protection for whistleblowers, barriers to information access and constraints caused by public and government hostility to journalists.

But once again you change the topic.
I thought the topic here about the freedoms that the US and Canada have. Are guns seriously the only thing you claim makes the US more "free" than Canada?

Sure they’ll say nukes were very efficient at stopping guerilla tactics once and for all.

Was there a physical occupation of the US military of the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos? Nope.
Why wasn't there? Oh yeah, because of the guerilla tactics the troops on the ground encountered in Vietnam.

Lmao 1812😂. Ya I’m talking about right now.
The US had significantly more men and firearms than Canada did back then, too. So yeah, numbers aren't everything.

We fund NATO.
I'm talking about Article 5. If the US attacks Canada, it would also be facing (at least) 28 other countries. The US would have a very difficult time going up against such odds.

Our military is far superior and it would end your government in an instant. You guys couldn’t even come close to D.C.
You guys said that in 1812, too. And what happened? Oh yeah, the White House got burned down 😂

hate speech is a made up bs term, but content that wouldn't be permitted in Canada would be permitted in the U.S. because of the constitution so....

the U.S. citizens have a God given right to free speech/press, a right the government must recognize, does Canada?  or is Canada's freedom of the press given to them by the government?

the U.S. has overreaching interference from the state?  any examples to back up that claim?

the list of censorship examples doesn't help your case, they get overturned in court because of the constitution, unlike Canada's hate speech laws.

got a bit of a chuckle out of that one, why would they risk all for Canada?  they would bitch and moan and do nothing just like when any other country invades another, they give token help but the U.S. always takes the lead.  Let Canada deal with N.K.  I'd be ok with turning a blind eye to most of the world really.

What people privately do with their time should in no way affect their right to keep and find gainful employment, so long as they're fully capable of presenting themselves in a professional manner on the job.
This right extends to men who have sex with men, or men who surgically alter themselves to live like women. But unlike you cowards I go all the way and am not a hypocrite on this issue. Nothing that you say online using a private account or device, so long as no harm is inflicted on another person, should determine one's eligibility for participation in the normal markers of adult life.
