Really? Those are the only "possibilities" to you?...there's not, like, an option that goes a little something like this: "President Trump isn't legally required to, and it's none of your business?"
Or,
"If President Trump is suspected of something illegal on his taxes, then the IRS can investigate; and since the Obama IRS didn't investigate him after he submitted his taxes, there's a very good likelihood there's absolutely nothing evil going on, whatsoever."
.
Those two possibilities never entered the picture for you, huh? | 0 | not toxic |

It is asking a lot to ask people to make ultra fine judgements on contamination. The takeaway for me is if you can see it(contamination), toss it rather than recycle. So cheese(and oil) encrusted pizza boxes would go in the trash.
Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy and self-righteousness floating around and a lot of denial. If we as a society truly cared about the environment there wouldn’t be a need for recycling at all( certainly a lot less than there is). The environment always takes second place to profit and convenience. Just employing the term "pro-environment" shows how divorced from reality we are.

They should have carried a Spot locator. Then the student would not have had to hike within cell phone range. It will send a message with your location to the nearest Search and Rescue operation by Satellite. My wife and I carry one. It also can be used to send posts to Facebook telling your location and that you are OK. It costs about $150 and the subscription for the email and Facebook posts costs about $150 per year.

All public money is tax money This government, whether national or local, has a belief that this is somehow their money to do with as they wish, and do exactly that. There is no recourse whatsoever to the taxpayer other than your referred to embarrassment of a public figure. Who incidentally all believe - like eg Molefe did - that they can simply say sorry without either remorse or understanding as to what is being apologised for in the first place, and all will be forgiven, maybe inside the corrupt ANC but outside that cabal, sorry has long been an unacceptable response by far. I could care less about her embarrassment or lack thereof, or whether she is a Zupta/spy or not.

If the bishops have any of the special charisms they claim, then one must assume they know the difference from right and wrong, and will always choose right over wrong. Oh, but there will always be individuals, one might argue. Perhaps, but aren't we also told that when bishops act in concert, they cannot be wrong, for Jesus protects His church?
The simple truth is that the bishops ARE very much acting in concert here. It's not an accident, nor an individual's choice, that bishops have not accepted accountability. Rather, that's a worldwide choice by ALL of them to adopt a position that has the effect to choose themselves and their positions, over children. What's happening in India is so predictable, so normal now, that we already know how it turns out... | 0 | not toxic |

You are right - it would be best left to scientists. Real scientists- not the ones that argued for how many decades that smoking is not bad for you.

An opinion that conflicts with what's actually happening on the ground.
Iraq had ceased to be a threat to Israel at the end of the Gulf War. Wikileaks proved the US entered Iraq to stop Iran from aiding the Taliban — border conflicts were with Iranian forces, not Iraqi.
Israel wants regime change in Syria because a new regime may be open to swapping the Golan for peace — the one offer that's been on the table for decades. Israel has been supplying the rebels with humanitarian aid.

You and I both know that dental fluorosis affects the low-income and non-white populations at twice the rate as the white population, so when a privileged person sees a lot of stained teeth in poor communities or among the First Nations or Black populations, they dismiss it on poor hygiene or other excuses, but they are wrong. It's the result of poisoning during early childhood by fluoride in tap water. Plus this is the leading indicator, adolescents. Additionally, those who can afford it will get veneers or crowns to disguise the damage on those teeth that show when they smile.

There was no insurance for healthcare when I was growing up. When insurance lobbyists approached the government the taxpayers were assured that insurance companies would not "interfere" with the care needed. They dictate your care now. If you don't see it, you are in denial!
I also remember the response from our compassionate healthcare industry. It went something like, "in order to make up for the cuts insurance companies are getting for our services we have to raise rates and increase incidental care".
Now you know why you have to be referred to a specialist. Because the insurance company created an obstacle and your doctor figured out a way to make a profit from that. Nobody cares about your health. You are a mark to be taken advantage of.
That all goes away if we socialize medicine and it will cost less than what you pay out of pocket now.

There is something like a one-to-one correspondence of media to individual interests. For example, let's say your interest is fishing; there are media tailored to your interest. Same with cooking, sewing, gardening whether organic or in - ; science, thousands of media outlets; non-science, lots; conservative, journals by the score; liberal, progressive, commie, NAZI - you can find your media outlet. There are print, television, radio, screen and stage media for every possible persuasion. This, sir, is self-evident.
Trump suffers when the media take his words and actions from his own mouth. That isn't the fault of the media, that is Trump's own character on display.

I was raised in an Okie town until 10 years old. My folks were Okies. My Dad used the words Wetbacks for illegal Mexicans, Wops for Italians and Dagos for a lot of others. He was actually from Missouri before moving to California during the Great Depression in the 30's. I guess he would call me a Squaw Man if he were still alive. But I never heard him use the N word. But we didn't have any Black people or Asians in our small sawmill town in California. When I saw the movie Grapes of Wrath it was like seeing the story of my folks when they first moved to California from the Missouri and Arkansas. Grapes of Wrath was all about Arkies and Okies leaving the Midwest and moving to California. Actually changing our language like Obama is doing takes a lot of color out of how we can express things.

And while we're at it? 8 USC Sect 1401 says:
"a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;"
I'm sure that if you were to go to the SCOTUS with this, you'd find pretty quickly that being subject to the jurisdiction of the US doesn't mean showing allegiance to. That's a very, very dangerous, slippery slope that would result in statelessness to whoever the out-of-power party is the moment the in-party power hears "I would rather be somewhere else rather than here under YOUR control!" It may sound good to you as a Republican if it's done to Democrats, but I'm sure you'll sing a wholly DIFFERENT tune if/when it's a Democrat doing it to you. :)

If you read the background of this story you will see that the payout was due to a law suit. I am reminded of similar stories out of the US in which persons of questionable character received big payouts as settlements of law suits for reasons similar to Kadhr's.
In those cases racial discrimination or police tactics were typically the issue. In Kadhr's case it is all about how he was tortured by your military forces in Guantanamo. If your military had not tortured him he would have gotten nothing.
So before you start complaining about what we do up here in Canada you should take a good look at how your military treats prisoners. Kadhr was not the only one tortured in Guantanamo. From what I read torture was, and probably still is, considered acceptable treatment for prisoners by your government.
Torture is unacceptable regardless of the situation. | 0 | not toxic |
I admire your tenacity, but you do realize that attempting to engage Roskell, Dante or Justice in a rational dialogue regarding Israel is like trying to teach a cat to fetch. There's seldom an article on Israel printed here where you won't find them among the first and most frequent to vilify the country and defend the vile behaviour of the Palis, irrespective of the content of the article. One wonders what deep rooted hatred of Israel (read Jews, it's always the real issue) drives the incessant, unrelenting dissemination of twisted truths, outright lies, misrepresentation, and falsities they spew at every opportunity. Stealing land is a favourite - a bit of history would prove that such assertions are completely without merit, but it's so much easier for haters to employ slogans and regularly repeated lies and talking points in support of their anti-semitic agenda. The best is that disagreeing with the govt of Israel doesn't make you an anti-semite. Sure, that's it! | 0 | not toxic |

Ordination of women is bad enough but women as bishops is and will always be a deal breaker in the eyes of the RC church. (Bishops can ordain priests you see - a double whammy). My husband is Anglican and I am RC. His bishop is a delightful woman, full of wit and humour, who has shaken up her diocese from top to bottom, reassigned old hangers-on and put the lait in charge of the direction they wanted to go, re: the church. My bishop, on the other hand, hardly ever goes out of the city limits, refuses to follow the more liberal of the pope's commands, in almost 10 years has yet to visit his more rural parishes, is only concerned about having photo ops in the diocesan newspaper, requires the common folk to come to him, etc., etc. If everything else were agreed to except ordination of women, there would be no agreement - ever!

LFS2,
Then I guess I misread your intent with this comment, "...exactly why the non-battleground states voters should turn to the Libertarian and Green Parties to cast their votes. I took it to mean ONLY non-battleground states should vote third party. Ok, that's cleared up.
I agree 100% that the two parties who run the show will not allow any significant change to the rules as they stand. I really hold out no serious hope for that, but for any third party to have a chance to grow that is where it would start. Any third party that does grow to become a significant threat will be co-opted( at a minimum ) or destroyed. I think third parties serve as an outlet for people who need to feel they are accomplishing something outside of the duopoly we have in this country. That is the function they serve IMO. | 0 | not toxic |
