Consumers will eventually regret their support for online shopping over local brick and mortar businesses. When you can no longer see, touch and try a product before ordering, and people spend more time dealing with returns than they would have spent driving a couple miles, they will see the error. Of course, by then it will be too late. | 0 | not toxic |

Mayor Gregor and his cronies have no idea how to properly run a city.

Justice must mean full disclosure of what happened and measures taken so very. It also involves proper punishment of those who callously took the decisions and some of those institutions who maybe benefited. This must mean jail in some instances, major fines, suspension and dismissals.....The same should happen iro Marikana ...the police killings!
In this instance it does not involve anything more than basic compensation to family members as they were not dependent financially on those who died... A family member last night on Carte Blanche was suggesting R30 million for each deceased.... bizarre! | 0 | not toxic |

I'm not American so I don't really have any investment personally in any of that.
However, I am a Catholic and I can't wait for Francis to rid us of the ultra-conservatives. I hope he does it starting with Burke. These traditionalists have made a mockery of the Church and turned it into a freak show. He should not waste this opportunity. Then the Church can stop selling its soul for power, prestige and wealth and get back to a gospel of kindness, compassion and sharing.
On top of that we can finally drop the legalism and the anti-Kingdom focus on the letter of the law. I hope Francis fills the college of Cardinals with Servants rather than Princes who will change the face of the church and the world for ever.
Then perhaps conservatives in America might see that their ideology has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity and that the recent affront to the term 'election', will never happen again. | 0 | not toxic |

Better give up your ADN log-in name. You don't sound like a patriot to me. There are no "citizen/soldiers," in the US. Only the National Guard and and Coast Guard.

This ruling may be a reversal of the Marxist liberal's agenda to oppress Christianity in the U.S. Christians have been ruined economically by LGBTQ-S&M SEX PERVERTS who sued them for refusing to participate in their sex perversion.

6. That huge immigration numbers to Canada (300,000+/year), most heading to one of the 3 major cities, is a good thing and most Canadians support this. Sometimes there seems to be an almost frenzied push by media to convince us that this is a great and glorious policy. No political party of any stripe ever has a meaningful debate about this (haggling over the paltry number of refugees we allow in is not the same thing at all). And most people I know - of all political stripes, and even relatively new immigrants - think the numbers are way too high.
Most of us keep mum about this because to read our media, this means that you'll be labelled xenophobic or racist or some other nasty thing. | 0 | not toxic |
JPZ, you're exactly right. Choose respect WAS a ploy and a fraud. Parnell had THAT general at one of those rallies at the same time he was covering up the sexual assaults in the National Guard.

Gee, then maybe Republicans could try making their case to those heathens in Portland and Eugene instead of complaining on comment boards and hoping that Multnomah County magically disappears one day. With very few exceptions, Oregon conservatives have little to offer besides bumper sticker slogans ("Cut wasteful spending! Unless it's something that's important to me!") and knee-jerk tantrums. Government salaries, PERS, and unions aren't going to go away. What palatable solutions do you have besides demonizing hard-working people who aren't "ordinary voters"? | 0 | not toxic |
yep, and Harris downloaded to the cities and bragged about how fiscally responsible he was. McGinty and Wynne uploaded and they take the heat for it driving up the deficit and get none of the credit from the municipalities (see Ford saying how he was fiscally responsible when uploading ODSP funds saved 100s of millions).

Misallocation of police resources and a failure to touch the social issues behind terrorism at all, are the obvious culprits. To my mind 3,000 possible troublemakers can be watched closely but you can't do it with 18th C policing techniques and by continuing what appear to be overtime grabs when nearly ten times as more officers show up at accident scenes than are needed. Most of these officers need to be 'following' the troublemakers, using 21st C. investigative techniques. | 0 | not toxic |

I wan't impressed with the start to the game. But I was really impressed with the response after the flyers scored first. OK, so that's just another win vs a team behind them in the standings. The Leafs need to keep this going against all the teams that are behind them in the standings. I counted 6 out of 8 teams they should be able to beat coming off the western road trip.

Another Alaska mobbing. Those happen frequently in many ways to destroy lives. How did a kidnapping not result in a charge and intervention of some kind? Some of us know how the justice system in Alaska is used to harm good people or torture those who have been traumatized so what in the hell? Most of the crimes are committed by sociopath/psychopath types. There should be evaluations done when certain types of cases are charged by competent practitioners, yes I said competent because there is a competency problem among MHPs in Alaska. When a psychopath is found and their possible specialty is kidnapping, murder may be close behind. Sociopathy can be the fault of the environment but psychopathy is related to a brain problem, so it does not matter the environment. Parents are often left begging for help with the kid and ignored until it is too late. Of course a psychopath in a bad environment can grow up to be quite evil. There is a broken justice system in Alaska. | 0 | not toxic |

From https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2016/11/20/pope-francis-calls-abortion-horrendous-crime-grave-sin/
'Francis also said he has an “allergy to adulators,” insisting he prefers criticism to praise.
“To adulate someone is also to use them for your own purposes, whether hidden or visible, but in order to obtain something for yourself,” he said.
“Critics speak badly of me, and I deserve it, because I’m a sinner,” he said. “That doesn’t worry me.”' | 0 | not toxic |

The daily one-note republican fascists commenters hammering away at a non-issue settled in millions of dollars worth of non-hearings.

Team players should be on board with Dr. Livingston, whose desire to preserve and grow America's medical-pharmaceutical-insurance complex while protecting its trade secrets and price-structuring from prying public eyes should set an example for everybody.
After all, "health care" is one of Alaska's only two growth industries. Productive Alaskans should be forced to pay whatever is necessary to keep the industry growing and prevent losing $2.8B of Medicaid funds, perhaps through a Special Health Insurance Tax.
Of course, any "discussion" about giving Alaskans access to the same health insurance, at the same cost, as their congressional delegation should not be allowed. | 0 | not toxic |

Agreed. I for one am relieved and encouraged that Papa Francesco has a Sicilian watching his back.
In an age where the pope's enemies weld political stilettos and attempt to stick the pontiff between the ribs on the internet, it's reassuring to know that Francesco has come to this Vatican political knife fight with a fellow Jesuit who knows how to “to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.”

You're 100% correct. And now with the DOC taking over treatment instead of contracting it out to professionals, it'll fail miserably.
Most prisons in Alaska have zero treatment programs, despite what the advertise on the DOC page. That propaganda is just there to lull the public into thinking the DOC is doing something. The prisons that do have them are limited to a very few inmates. PCC - which was closed down - was one of the few treatment-oriented prisons in Alaska. The corrupt and ineffective superintendent - now at Point McKenzie - should have been fired. But word has it she's sleeping with a highly placed administration official, so she gets a pass.
She'd do well in Trump's White House except for the fact that she's far from a "10." | 0 | not toxic |
I used to dive from the bridge and swim the Ala Wai. Used to crab there all the time. I miss that. The worse we got back then was a dead body dumped in by the Syndicate and putt-putt boats with a colored light on the bow. Then it became polluted. I don't think it coincidence that Ala Wai's rise in pollution is directly proportional to the rise in Honolulu's population, that in turn, is directly proportional to the soar in land prices and property taxes, that in turn, are directly proportional to the escalation of utility costs, all of which dynamics had changed open marsh Ala Moana into a concrete mega-malled shopping complex, dumped a Magic Island right on top of South Shore's best surf spot, and alienated so many locals from Ala Moana Park....and then, from Honolulu to live in Las Vegas.

One of the biggest problems in Alaska is people CHOSE to live in places with no economy. We have 120 towns/village will less than 1000 people. We have 76 villages will less than 400 people. The state simply does not have the money to support all of these locations. There is no real way to force people to move and it's a free country, but we need to stop subsidizing places that will never hold there own, or at least make them pay more than they do now. And I'm not just talking about native villages, there are places on the road system and in SE that make no sense. The PDF needs to go away before we pay an income tax. | 0 | not toxic |

I would very much like to see, and hope a cardinal would, start a movement (by example as well as in the Council of Cardinals) to replace the historical regalia of medieval princes, with far more simple dress. It would be a real and genuine sign of service and de-investing oneself of the long-gone imperial, monarchal Church. And as a by-product, it would help stop the laughing in the back rows when the cardinals appear in their lace and bright red cassocks. And the hats. Above all, they would mirror what Pope Francis has been teaching us all by example for over three years now: simplicity in living provides a richness of the soul. | 0 | not toxic |
