Interesting. So D6 was in a downward spiral driven by mostly white slum-lording? This is the first I'd heard of it. Not surprisingly, since we're not allowed to know that D6 was anything but sunshine and rainbows.
It's just one irony of revisionism that we can't attribute the blame due to whites for D6's demolition. Where are they in this restitution process? Another irony is that the requirement that D6 be seen as "wholesome" in order for condemnation of Botha to stick, depends on Botha's own moral logic, in reverse. The gross and patronizing implication being that if in fact D6 was a dirty slum, we might conclude that its razing was right. | 0 | not toxic |

Black-clad Leftist anarchists storm Berkeley rally, assaulting 5

Black-clad leftist extremists on Sunday stormed into what had been a largely peaceful Berkeley protest against hate and attacked at least five people, including the leader of a politically conservative group who canceled an event a day earlier in San Francisco amid fears of violence.
The group of more than 100 hooded protesters, with shields emblazoned with the words "no hate" and waving a flag identifying themselves as anarchists, busted through police lines, avoiding security checks by officers to take away possible weapons..........................

If you want a clear definition of fascism, look up its roots. Mussolini's fascists were specifically dedicated to anti-socialist and anti-liberal activities, and it was Mussolini's movement that coined the term.
The anti-liberal bias was meant as a foil to the idea that a voter could rationally elect somebody devoted to individual liberty over the superior owner of a business. | 0 | not toxic |
Hits the nail on the head and if people can't see the change coming and get behind it they are not thinking well. Unfortunately capitalism with all of the good it produces has to face restrictions at times.
The people are the government and the people get weary of excesses and so change is in the making.

Not to disagree with your post, but Energy East won't help with any of that list except accessing new markets.
We produce 4 m bbl/day, but we only use about 2 m bbl/day, which is what we refine. Energy security is not a problem -- really only BC needs another refinery for their domestic market.
We import mostly light oil to the refineries in Quebec and NB that can't refine heavy oil from western Canada. Energy East isn't going to change the need for imports of light oil.
Most of the oil we import is from the US. I don't have a problem buying several hundred thousand bbl/day of light oil from them when they're buying a couple million bbl/day of heavy oil from us. We're the net winners here.
And by the way, as for value added, eastern refineries aren't just buying light oil from the Americans, they're also selling a couple or three hundred thousand bbl/day back to the northeastern US as refined products. | 0 | not toxic |
The other problem with a market solution is that you're not buying bananas, you're buying healthcare, which is a complex area where very few people have enough knowledge to make informed decisions.

Well, you're right about the fake news. Back in 2013, Obama accused Assad of gassing his own people. The UN studied both attacks carefully and concluded that al-Nusra (Obama's beloved and well-financed rebels) actually did the gassing, although Assad might have used gas in a direct conflict with al-Nusra later that year.
We aren't talking about that ... that Obama jumped to a conclusion about the source of the gas and wanted to take us to war for it. Who gave him the false intelligence that claimed Assad did it? The same administrative state that told George W Bush that Saddam was seeking yellow-cake uranium.
Now Trump has fallen for the same fake news from the administrative state.
Maybe the problem isn't the politicians, but the bureaucracy that stays in place from one administration to the next and does not want to lose its power, so manipulates the politicians to do what the real rulers want. Bush, Obama, Trump, Clinton when she was secretary -- all fell for it. | 0 | not toxic |

Climate change or not, an environmental shift did have a role in the decline in cod and increase in shrimp and cod stocks. Starting in the 80s, the waters around Newfoundland cooled a bit which made the habitat more hospitable to shrimp and crab and less so for cod. Now that trend seems to be reversing and shrimp and crab stocks are in decline while cod stocks are recovering, at least in the more northerly areas.

Why are you talking about Martin Luther King? Did Moore try to get in his pants, too? What is your point? Are you saying that its OK for Moore to be a pedophile if Martin Luther King got it on with a bunch of women?
The statues argument is the most baffling to me. Taking down statues of confederate traitors because they literally celebrate racism and slavery is not equivalent to taking down statues of a man who championed tolerance and equality. Even if your fantasy story is true about King, its not relevant to his achievements. The confederate traitors' statues are literally trying to rewrite history.
Basically, you are a racist who thinks that if a black guy does something bad, that makes it OK for Roy Moore to be a pedophile. | 1 | toxic |

I am not yet convinced that pursuing a gas pipeline is a viable idea at this time. However, you make some persuasive arguments that I cannot disagree with. Making investments today for tomorrow's benefits makes sense.
I hope you will agree that Alaska does not have an efficient energy delivery system in place that can provide affordable, reliable, and long term energy for Alaskans across the state. If that is true, then the AVEC idea makes sense, as well as your position to invest in a gas line now.
Can't both ideas move ahead in tandem since one idea, AVEC's, gives Alaskans near term use of our stranded gas and the governor's idea of producing benefits from our stranded gas helps us further down the road ? | 0 | not toxic |

One of the biggest problems holding back health care in Canada is that, the moment anyone so much as HINTS at copying something that is working well in somewhere like the U.K. or France there is instantly a massive outcry of "We don't want a U.S. style health care system!!!". As a result we can't change to copy what places like France or Sweden might have done because of problems in the U.S. system.
Obviously this makes no sense at all to anyone who spends a microsecond thinking logically about things, yet one need only read the comments above mine to see examples of this exact behaviour. Somehow *ANY* change to health care is viewed as moving us toward that boogeyman of the U.S. health care system and, as a result, we're stuck with our poorly performing system. | 0 | not toxic |

This isn't exactly, Much Ado About Nothing, but it's turning out that way. Jospeh Boyden's ancestors had no written language, their stories were part of the oral tradition, much like Beowolf is the major example used in English literature classes of the English oral tradition. Later of course, printing was introduced, an Beowolf was written down. Not so in the case of Boyden's ancestors. To me Joseph Boyden has done more to educated Canadians about the people of the First Nations. Good for him. I give him the benefit of the doubt.

This government is not about logic or common sense. Rather it's solely about symbology and perception. The perception that the middle class, the Trudeau buzz word, is getting something when they are not. Remember, it's sunny ways, but sunny ways don't pay the bills or help Canadians get ahead.

I am quoting from a previous comment 'as a nation we prefer the politics of entitlement ... with zero responsibility.' That is the kind of truth that stares us in the face. An 'overall' / general truth. The sum of the behaviour patterns of millions of people. But do all South Africans behave that way? I am not going to tell you how my family who came to this country from Germany in the late 1700s have always been productive and payed their taxes. That is not neccessary. Simple mathematics shows us that an entire population can not be non-productive (or depend on the economic production of others). If, per definition, there are no others. But this is pushing the argument too far. We know there are still producers of wealth. The worrysome fact is that the number of wealth-producers seem to be a dwindling. | 0 | not toxic |

The Ninth Circuit decision will be overturned by the SC. Eighty percent of their cases are.
From the Washington Post: By accepting the use of preelection statements to impeach and limit executive policy, the 9th Circuit is taking a dangerous step. The states’ argument is in essence that Trump is a bigot, and thus his winning presidential campaign in fact impeaches him from exercising key constitutional and statutory powers, such as administering the immigration laws.
The opinions clause in the Constitution is a protection for free speech. Candidates Left, Right and Center will chill their campaigns if this is allowed to stand. I believe the count will be 8 - 0 to reverse the 9th's decision.

I don't hold this as an absolute, but I do think there's something to the notion that 100 years in the development of a religion is analogous to one year in the development of a person. Islam, which was founded in the early 7th century, is going through something of an "adolescence" right now in terms of its place on the world stage. It's just about where Christianity was in the early Renaissance period.
It took a fair amount of trauma for the Church to finally let go of the expectation that it should play a central role in civil government. I expect the same will eventually come to pass for Islam. In the meantime, the best thing we can do in the West is to stay true to our stated ideal of religious tolerance and impartiality under the law. Otherwise, we lend support to what the Islamic hardliners say about us -- that our democratic ideals are just for show. | 0 | not toxic |

You are clearly not getting this. To challenge a mistaken assertion is not to "shut down" debate, it's kind of integral to that debate. In reality, it seems as if you are the one attempting to limit debate by objecting to that challenge. Is your idea of debate a format in which you talk without interruption? Come to think of it, wasn't it you who had a habit of blocking commenters under your previous posting persona? That would be shutting down debate.
Keep in mind that this "debate" bit is only in the informal, popular realm. There simply is no such debate in the scientific community. "Debate" in science exists in a rather more formal process. And as that formal debate has existed for over a century, it is really pretty much over among scientists. That would be that whole consensus thingy. You would be hard-pressed indeed to find a scientist from that "side" that you advocate so strongly for...not because they have been "ostracized", but because they have been shown to be incorrect. | 0 | not toxic |

We've seen it time and again, yet the ease with which a US president can wipe the media clean of criticism against his administration never ceases to amaze me. Just identify an external threat. Even the press that's hostile to the president has to along with it.
In America's polarized politics, media that's for or against the president alienates half the available viewers. But media that focuses on some claimed external threat gets everyone listening. All the president's bad news disappears, while his steadfast stand against some foreign danger looks like heroism in the public's eye.
I'm not picking on Trump here. Obama did it before him, and Bush and Clinton did it before that. What I'm pointing out is the myth of the 'free press' in the West.
