Especially is this the case when one is in an auto accident, has major surgery where significant blood is lost, cancer treatments, anemia and a host of many other legitimate reasons. The benefits simply outweigh the risks.
"4.5 million: the number of American lives saved each year by blood transfusions."
If in just just the U.S. alone, 5 million people receive transfusions EACH YEAR, how many around the world do you think receive them each year? then wouldn't you say the risks involved are very minor when compared with the risks of death from no transfusion at all?
Tens of millions of people, or more, receive blood transfusions each year, worldwide. This means that tens of millions of lives may be saved each year. Even if only one million people's lives are actually saved (though the numbers are clearly higher) losing one percent, or even five percent to the negative side-effects involved is still some pretty good numbers overall. | 0 | not toxic |

“To them, Bears Ears is more than a recreation destination, it is sacred ground rich in cultural and historical significance,” the statement reads. “With its abundant natural resources — including wood to warm homes in the winter — many Native Americans depend on this land not only for spiritual nourishment, but also for their very survival.”

The reality is that immigration is good for our economy.
Immigrants bring wealth with them and/or create new wealth.
They commit crimes at a lower rate than the non-immigrant population, and they use less social services than the non-immigrant population.

Trump's chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn (former president of Goldman Sachs), spoke of this misguided policy of pushing near zero interest rates and currency devaluations at a Institute of International Finance sponsored event in the 2016 G20 China. He said using such old policies does not work in the modern world. And that if global interest rates were 3% higher the world would be a better place as insurance companies, pensions, would be viable and investors can put their money back into bank deposits, government bonds instead of financial products which face liquidity problems.

I see you have no actual bearing on reality, SF. The Democrats HATE the military until it's convenient for them to use them. I saw it every year I was in the service. Under Bush, we had funding, when Obama took over, he started removing the funding we needed to get the job done, just like Bill Clinton did in the 90s, forcing GB2's Military to scramble for people after 9/11. Also, how quickly you forget, Hillary's hubby was a draft dodger too, so maybe call her out for marrying a weak POS.

Contrarian, no, not really. I believe in the golden rule (do unto others...) and speak out when I see the concept trashed. Regarding juveniles, it seems your position that adulthood should be set to 15 years which is when driving permits are available. That is a societal decision. I wonder if you would be self-consistent and say that 15 year olds have all the rights of adults since they would have all the responsibility. This would mean that they should buy booze and cigarettes. They should also be able to consent to sexual relationships, etc. Or would you assign responsibility but withhold privilege? | 0 | not toxic |
You claimed that she came here unlawfully ("She chose to come here illegally on her own, then she committed a felony.") Entering illegally is a crime. Overstaying your vacation is not.

I do agree with you. In the case of taxi's, I'm rather torn, because a degree of regulation and control is worth paying for, but with a taxi licence costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, the industry was vulnerable to something else coming along.

Does that matter in Ontario? Court decision in BC have established that if any heir disputes a will then the courts will do an even split taking into consideration gifts given to heirs before death.
OTOH some of my siblings had to change the locks on our mother's home, and started sleeping over in rotation, after our pot head brother living in her basement at age 60 had to be evicted for elder abuse, and for using her ATM card to raid her reverse mortgage.
He had somehow talked her into making him the sole heir to whatever home equity was left if she died. It got scary when his new live in girlfriend punched our mother.
I told them I was not interested in the house, hoping that the equity lasts just long enough to supplement mom's other income while she is alive. If she dies and pot head tries to take it all then I will be happy to be the bad guy who disputes, that and will redistribute my share among my other siblings who need it more than me. | 0 | not toxic |

Anyone "fleeing" the USA due to uneasiness over Trump's policies should be turned away IMMEDIATELY, regardless of where they crossed the border, if they are already in the USA legally. They shouldn't be allowed to apply as refugees, nor be allowed to languish on the taxpayers' dime in Canada while waiting for their claims be heard. They may go back to the US or elsewhere & apply to come to Canada legally.

Conversus posted a comment about Catholic Charities. You, apatrick, suggested that 95% of those donations might be 'skimmed' while only 5% would go to 'flood relief.' Raising *potential* issues with other charities or religious orders is irrelevant to the discussion on this thread and the post by Conversus. You have provided no information to support this claim, and it appears that you have no reliable knowledge which could be a basis for your accusation.

"Now is not the time to shy away from engaging in the global arena for Alaska's future, nor is it the time for infighting," Walker said.

IMHO: The global arena for Alaska's future includes AKLNG only as a minor part of the BigMap to keep us from being hopelessly lost in the Global Energy Woods.
AKRR-LNG is a BigWin [it saved us from wasting billions on the southern end of the early buildout, too bad it was too late to save us from wasting mega-millions on corrupt studies]
The global energy picture changes faster & faster, we must not put all our eggs in one basket. Top Heavy projects such as Keith Meyer's vision of MegaLNG are already obsolete.
AKFlex is a much more robust & resilient architecture favored by smart guys for National Defense, and Energy & Economic Efficiency.
AKFlex brings statewide energy density far beyond what you now imagine.

The barrier is US immigration law. The barrier is that their parents put them in a terrible situation. There will be no amnesty without border security. It's been promised, but never delivered. Maybe the arrogance of these illegal immigrants is coming back to haunt them. Marching with Mexican flags and demanding special treatment from a country that they shouldn't even be in is finally creating the backlash it should. Critics, like this poster, continue to label American citizens as racist and bigots. For what? Wanting the law followed. If congress fails to act, the only thing you can do is follow existing law. Name calling and acting like somebody owes you something will only strengthen the resolve of the people that disagree with you. If the children stay, the parents should be deported. | 0 | not toxic |

Canadians are better at whining on and on about America than we are at just about anything, except for maybe WInter Olympics and Hockey.
And part of our whining on and on about America is that whenever the Americans make a movie about Canadian material (example: Argo, about the Iran hostage events, and Superbad, based on school graduation in BC), we sit around and pout and whimper and whine for weeks about how hard done-by we are for not getting better exposure in the movie narrative.
And we nurse our wounds for months, years, until the next example happens, and we again take offense at the dastardly Americans.
A useless and maladaptive behavior, that whining. It fills the void that should be filled with popular made-in-Canada movies that we never make. We are like the neighbourhood loser who always spouts off about how he should have been made captain of the high school football team, a story he bitterly tells for seven decades before dying with a bitter expression on hise face. | 0 | not toxic |

"The part of the picture you're missing is that he was off duty."
=========
Perhaps officially. But cops are cops 24/7....carry a gun off-duty...and are normally authorized and even expected to take action if the "need" arises in front of them....like responding to a woman screaming for help or a person who needs medical attention, CPR.
-
Seeing someone "speeding" is not normally something any department would encourage an "off-duty" officer to take action on. Hit and run? Maybe. Speeding? No.
-
But he did identify himself and plainclothes officers, detectives, and investigators contact people all the time for various reasons....including investigating crimes and making arrests.
-
So she (1) should have known he was a cop (2) didn't know he was off-duty.

Regardless, his department will review his actions....and apparently the court will review hers. | 0 | not toxic |

I agree that hot headed drivers wanting to go 90mph are part of the problem but Bob is also right. The newer passing lanes have helped a good deal but I have rarely, since 1993, seen the troopers citing anyone for delaying traffic. On a recent trip to Anchorage, spent 80 miles behind an individual who was driving at anywhere from 40 to 55 in the 55 mph speed zones, yet when coming into passing zones would speed up to at least 65 mph. This was very frustrating for about a dozen of us. Occasionally someone would have enough and pass 2, 3, 4 or more vehicles just to get out ahead of this idiot. This caused a dangerous situation but thankfully, no one got hurt. On three occasions, with at least a dozen vehicles trapped behind this person, saw troopers pass by in the opposite direction. I know that many are prone to blaming the tourists for these problems but the last couple of years, it seems, in my experience, that it is Alaskans that are causing the most problems. | 0 | not toxic |

I think you missed the point. A healthy lawn won't allow dandelions and other weeds (not clover) to grow. The chemical fertilizers you're putting on the grass are doing the same thing as mulching your clippings (adding nitrogen to the soil). If you mulch your clippings (go over them twice if they're thick) you can't see them, so you won't have "clippings and leaves scattered all over it ". As for the leaves, this is done in the last part of the year after all the leaves have fallen so it's not like you're out enjoying your lawn anymore. He's not saying don't do anything to your yard, he clearly told you what to do, and that is not spreading chemical fertilizers that find their way into salmon streams and dangerous herbicides. I've been following this advice on my lawn which was neglected by previous owners and it's looking great so far. | 0 | not toxic |
Jesus Christ didn't tell us that our job is to focus on the secular world.
He commandment was that we love Him and love others that we come across, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
The changing of the world as it were will come about when the furnace of our own interior life with Him radiates warmth into the world around us, in little ways.
Through the 'salt' (charity) and light (truth) of Him.
Being "little" is frankly objectionable to our pride. We don't want little. We want big and dramatic fixes here and here.
But Our Lord has trouble 'working miracles" in us - when we focus on our goals outside of our love for Him.
