Yeah, it was quite the wakeup for me. I saw a truck flying an immense confederate flag driving down the road in rural north east Germany. In the next town, was chatting with some folks and mentioned it as odd. They got kind of horrified, explained the fact that Nazi symbols are basically a felony, then went on to explain that the same clowns that want to fly a swastika, instead fly Confederate flags to stay legal. All in all it was kind of an enlightening though weird conversation. My take on it is "one group of losers taking on the symbols of another group of losers". | 0 | not toxic |
We must give the man chosen by our Bishops the benefit of the doubt. At least under his reign we will see the end of religious persecution, especially the widespread and extreme persecution of Roman Catholics in the US. No longer will FEMA be allowed to prepare concentration camps for Catholics. Christians will be allowed to say "Merry Christmas" again, without fear of the the retribution currently meted out whenever anyone uses that phrase. Our Courageous Bishops will no longer have to worry about pernicious changes to statute of limitations laws that might put them in jeopardy for brave actions taken to defend Mother Church from Scandal. Under the leadership of the Bishops' Chosen One, this Nation will again return to its Christian roots and, hopefully, lead the West in a new Crusade against those who oppose our Christian Ideals. | 0 | not toxic |

Yereth Rosen, are you aware that the "Ice Age for the Arctic Basin" chart you are showing has been shown to be a fraud? It has been flipped to intentionally misrepresent the age of the ice, where the older ice has been increasing, this shows that the older ice is decreasing. NSIDC didn't manage to hide all the old charts and got caught red handed. I look forward to the clarifying article. | 0 | not toxic |
Robin,
Israel was peculiar. They were chosen. They had the burden of Torah, i.e. obedience. Israel was a witness to God's Law and His choosing. Deliverance out of Egypt and bondage was their witness. They were not supposed to return.
Jesus Christ is the King of Israel - a kingdom not of this world, but nonetheless a kingdom indivisible from this world and the Jewishness of the 'King of the Jews.' All men are called to serve this King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He has conquered sin and death, 'whosoever believes in Him shall never die'.
What exactly would Israel convert the gentiles into if they had a commission to proselytize? As Jesus said: "ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
Obedience is hard. | 0 | not toxic |
Whatever you want to call it, it is a lack of true priorities. You ignore the difference in culture as one would ignore the slavery issue and make it legitimate today. It reminds me of Jesus and His disciples being scolded for eating grain from a field they went through when hungry, and David eating from the temple table. And Jesus healing on the Sabbath day. You can know all the hermeneutics possible and still lack love for people in one's context and sphere of influence. Read the love chapter. A desire for what you say is perfect hermeneutics does not come near doing what is right and glorifying God. | 0 | not toxic |

Ad nauseum - failings and criticism of Trump are a daily diet for anyone who reads news and opinion, watches it on TV or listens to it on radio. He has become a straw man for every political, social, moral or ethical reporter to drive a bayonet into. They are right of course, but calling the kettle black over and over takes us nowhere and demonstrates more starkly than ever the limits of the press, the people and the elected congress and senate to simply get rid of this incompetent fool. A measure of the national 'well being' index, if there was one must indicate a level of depression and anxiety among Americans unprecedented in modern history. | 1 | toxic |

Blame the employers as much as anything. It is hard to blame them when they pick reliable people over untested ones. Blame a lack of affordable public transportation in many areas. When retailers move further out from the city centers only those with cars can access them. You can't buy a reliable car for a few grand or even a fixer upper worth having for a few hundred anymore either. One little thing goes wrong and you might as well just move on to your next car. Blame the system, as well, places that sell tobacco and alcohol like gas station convenience stores need to have every team member available to do any job, which includes ringing up and selling smokes, beer and lotto, which teenagers aren't legally allowed to do most places. The reasons are legion, but mostly it is because we live in a different time and world. You can't even legally allow a kid under 18 to mow your grass anymore. Not just nanny state laws, lawn care professionals got local laws to squeeze them out. | 0 | not toxic |

Ken_Conklin (or Ken Conklin as the case may be), I ain't trolling you. I just genuinely and vehemently disagree with your views, ideas, positions and writings, and am saying so. I see logical inconsistencies as well as infer things from your writings that I am pointing out and saying.
I don't think it's in any way reasonable to expect that your views are going to be universally (or, frankly, in any other way sanely lauded),based on their substance, clear intent, and/or structure.
Plain fact of the matter is that you had an opportunity to condemn the ideas in the racist, misogynistic, repulsively xenophobic, and ignorant letter the SA displayed by publication. You didn't. Not even close.

Dental work is one third the cost in Yuma Arizona just over the border. Over 100 dental clinics to choose from .I canceled my insurance that didn't cover implants.

Adding to this excellent article by Ian, I would like to make a point about the nature of this money.
As everyone knows in Hawaii, we have one real commodity and that is land. Like in other places in the world where an economy is run off of the profit (or loss) of one main commodity, Hawaii in turn faces the same influence issues from those who work and profit from the increase in the commodity price.
In other words, those who trade in the commodity would want to be sure that both friends are placed in influential positions to advance goals, as well as being sure that resources are used to influence others to become friends. Politicians who profit (in their campaigns) from the land developers need to be careful not to be seen as being overtly influenced by the developers lest they be seen as nothing more than the developers whipping boy (or girl).
As long as we have land developers, and they see a profit, we will also, unfortunately, see undue influence show up like Hoakalei. | 0 | not toxic |
What you are neglecting to point out is that the US Federal government already taxes many people's incomes at 39.6%. Throw in the 9.4% Alaskan Corporate Tax and Property Taxes, and now I'm taking in LESS THAN HALF of what I make. How is that fair? I worked 2 jobs, didn't go on vacations, didn't have a girlfriend or wife, starved myself and went into debt to get a Masters Degree, now I'm supposed to pay over 50% of my earnings in taxes for those who tried less? How is that even close to fair? | 0 | not toxic |

There are some of us who were so bored in High School that we ignored the teachers. There are some of us who had higher grades in college than we did in high school in English, Math and Scientific subjects. There is one student that I know personally who was offered a Fulbright opportunity at the U of O after attending and completing a degree there, even though he started college three (3) years after graduation from high school He started at and is still making a six figure salary because he was 'tired of school'. You are too tied to your normative attitudes as to what should happen in someone's educational life at particular times. Think' outside the box' and give young people a chance to figure out their own goals; they aren't stupid or uneducable just because they don't follow a 'traditional' education path | 0 | not toxic |

I think he's referring to the fact that there is a certain segment of the left who, if they hear something that they don't like, or that they don't agree with, then they aggressively try to shut down debate or discussion on the matter.
There is nothing "progressive" about this tactic whatsoever. It is tantamount to the muzzling of free speech and open debate.

I agree with your, rone81, but I also think the worst thing you can do with Lynch is analyse it too much.
My 10 year old son asked me what the most bizarre movie I had ever seen was the other day, my answer was Eraserhead.
This, of course, led to questions about why I felt that way and what the movie was about. Answering that question was more difficult than many of the exam questions I had in university…..
With an artist like Lynch, the experience is visceral, not intellectual. You feel the piece without fully understanding it, because the symbolism is just too far out. It is reminiscent of surrealism in that way. | 0 | not toxic |
Income inequality: A growing number of people can't afford the recent "necessities" of 2000 sq.ft. per household and two cars. Until THAT'S fixed, for now, living in this world means getting off the merry-go-round of consumption for status purposes and accepting that you should probably be renting 800 sq.ft. instead of attempting to mortgage 2000. Hyperventilating about Millenials not buying cars is just that you can't accept what they have: they can't afford them.
Reducing your consumption won't just improve your own bottom line; it sends the signal that they can't keep this system going any longer with cheap debt and societal pressure to consume. Eventually, they'll start putting more small multi-family dwellings on the market. Or address income inequality. | 0 | not toxic |

Um, that's the story they wish to push in this day and age. Hickel's original plan for the Captain Cook was a joint venture with Michel Halbouty (whose nephew, Tom Kelly, was Hickel's DNR commish, BTW) involving a pair of 11-story buildings on the north side of Third Avenue. This was in 1959, not right after the earthquake. A strike by the Carpenters' Union caused a delay: this complex, the Westward Tower (also scaled back from original plans) and the Port of Anchorage were all supposed to start construction during the 1959 season, which fell by the wayside once the strike occurred. Evidently, Hickel's project was no longer as big a priority once construction started up again. He built the Northern Lights Center instead. | 0 | not toxic |

As a gay person, I applaud Mr. DeBernardo for raising exactly the right questions about the language the Vatican uses in "The gift of priestly vocation" regarding gay seminarians. If anyone harbors any doubts about the manner in which this document disparages gay people, I would suggest simply replacing the word "homosexual" with the word "heterosexual" and ask yourself how the language comes off sounding.
The fact that the document begins by saying "The Church, while profoundly respecting the persons in question [persons with homosexual tendencies]" and then proceeds with what can only be described as profoundly disrespectful language towards gay people only adds insult to injury. Mr. DeBernardo's final paragraph hits the nail on the head and underscores the distinct lack of pastoral concern for gay people the world over. This is not the way the Church of Jesus Christ is supposed to behave toward "the least of these." Pope Francis, of all people, should know better. | 0 | not toxic |

Trudeau is rewarding migrants for breaking the law and effectively penalizing prospective refugees and immigrants trying to enter legally. The Manitoba crossers successfully jumped the cue. If the bar is set at Sun Sea smugglers, what's the worst that could happen? Even the smugglers got off free of charge. The only thing that's surprising (apart from the shameless naivety of Liberals and their supporters) is that more migrants aren't crossing illegally - they have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Enter illegally by sea or by land - the worst thing that could happen is that you are sent home after 3-5 years of living on taxpayer-funded support. It's ok though, it's not like Canada has existing issues of homelessness and affordability and "they" can pay for it, you know, the Doctors and small businesses about to have their taxes increased.

UAS (University of Alaska Juneau)
and
APU (Alaska Pacific University) are great Universities with high student moral with no intercollegiate sport teams-They got rid of intercollegiate sport teams ~20 years ago because they could see the economics on the black board-this was before Alaska Universities started to eliminate Degrees in Economics.
"The HuffPost/Chronicle analysis found that subsidization rates tend to be highest at colleges where ticket sales and other revenue is the lowest — meaning that students who have the least interest in their college’s sports teams are often required to pay the most to support them."
