All the misdirected four are showing is their complete inability to see the church change and grow. They are still living in the dark ages and their castles are threatened. Their world has long gone and the serfs are being heard and cared for. No longer are they being ignored and thought only as a source of income and general and personal wealth. They don't understand the Jesuit proclivity to find God in all things. Drop the furs and the pointy hats and pay attention to the people who thirst!	0	not toxic
Televised sports, especially golf, have brought this on themselves by stubbornly refusing to admit that their age-old rules and traditions can be compromised by modern electronic media. Yes, the USGA finally revised their moving ball rule - after zoom-in high speed camera shots revealed movement invisible to the naked eye but obviously more needs to be done. If none of the the playing partners,caddies or rules officials in your group didn't see it - it didn't happen. Who cares if an Emmy-winning sports broadcaster picked it up.	0	not toxic

Try and keep up Prog, At what point did I say the rejection was due to anti-Muslim sentiment? The initial poster was talking about Muslims asking for special treatment and I was simply pointing out the irony of this in a province that has long claimed special treatment itself as well as the fact that this alleged special treatment, namely having a religiously based cemetery, is something that other religions have and that we don't think twice about.

So do the editors of this paper and the women in these situations realize that if every sexual assault claim with no chance of conviction, which is what unfounded means, is pushed to trial, no one will be convicted due to the back log? Courts are already having to drop charges due to wait times. So sexual assault cases with a good chance of conviction will be dropped because of the doubling or trebling of cases to the point where no one is convicted.	0	not toxic
I agree with Tricky, $500,000 is a monster of debt, but I also believe that people are the author of there own (mis) fortune. A house is both an investment for downsizing later and shelter. People need to live within there means. The idea that people can grow wealthy off rising house prices isnt new to this cycle, the same thing happened during the boom of the late eighties early nineties. People must learn to temper there expectations. Learn to live in a smaller house and drive a used car for a while. You get ahead in real estate when you pay off your mortgage. My wife and I did it a number of years ago, and it has been a huge burden off our shoulders, but we made choices (smaller house and used cars) and it has paid off in the long run.	0	not toxic
Hi Peter thanks for the comment. I agree with you totally. Once again drawing on the analogy of the abused spouse, there are many reasons why they stay in the relationship. One of which may be that they are uneducated and feel that they would not cope without their partner, and hence due to this fear they betray their responsibility to those they are supposed to protect (in this case their children), in the case of MP's the populace they are supposed to represent. It is only when outside help is provided that we find that some of the abused will take the opportunity and act upon it. Without this help we will continue to propagate endless misery.	0	not toxic

Also we should not hold off on changes to the tax code just because it may cause there to be less work for Lawyers and Accountants.

I think this survey is indicative of so many things: the decline of the church's moral authority and influence over moral decision-making among the laity; the inability of the church hierarchy to get the laity to follow their thinking (EG gay civil marriage vs religious freedom to discriminate; birth control). Such things like the refusal to conduct a church funeral for gay married members juxtaposed with the church's inadequate responses to the pedophilia crisis)...all this contributes to the institution losing face in the minds and hearts of members.	0	not toxic
It is not a canard. When I was heading to Europe in 1973 I took the train across Canada to Montreal. I met a group of six Americans who heading over as well. They were busy sewing Canadian Maple Leafs on their back packs. Being a naive teenager, I was shocked that someone was so ashamed of their country's policies that they had to conceal their identity. They assured me that the practise was quite common. Not sure if it is in business still, but there was a company that advertised phoney covers for American passports that made them look like Canadian passports.	0	not toxic

In the long run, by providing free birth control as part of insurance, both the federal government and the insurance companies benefit and save money in the end.

The 1st week of the Trump era has been the seven days of Genesis in reverse, an unmaking of reality and civility and light. Trump said let there be me, and there he was, making and remaking himself in his own image. Instead of sea and sky we have a hall of gaudy mirrors. Instead of fruitful multiplications we have Bannon and Eric and Ivanka and Jared and Don Junior. He saw that it was good, and everything else bad. And so it was. From the very first hour it was that apocalyptic vision of America as a city in pit, a Sodom and Gomorrah of crime and drugs and tombstones and bad dudes. Evening came and morning came, and there he was again, making up new crap. (h/t P. Tristam) And on the 8th day Trump showed what governing incompetence really looked like while his army of ignorant supporters ran around like 6-year olds screaming we won, you lost. Well done, republicans. The last time you embraced governing incompetence you gave us GW Bush,,twice. This time you gave it to us on steroids.	1	toxic
Now I don't know about all that but, it was interesting. Sanders finally endorsed her - that was helpful. Albright was impressive. Alicia Keyes was cool and Meryl Streep was funny.

Walter: Well, there are many, many books on this subject. Another one: Rodney Stark's recent "For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery," by Princeton U Press. Another: Charles Murray's "Human Achievement." With those above, that's 4. As well as copious Internet research. Of course, it's not just "knowledge," but what one does with it. The ancient Greeks in the end were "stillborn" on science. It just ended. As did Islamic science. Whereas science since the Catholic Middle Ages has been a going concern because Catholics developed scientific method. It's religion, specifically the Catholic Religion, that gave people a reason and a way of thinking that made science a going concern. In particular, as all these scholars pointed out, St. Thomas Aquinas solved the problem of faith vs. reason by showing there was no conflict, and where conflict seemed to exit, it really was limited human knowledge that needed to be advanced.	0	not toxic

It would seem that this instance of a statistical occurrence (brain cancer) which happened to one person out of billions was mistaken to be the will of some god. It appears as though two people died as a result of putting folklore ahead of scientific knowledge. What if science had help the mother live for a decade or more through successful chemotherapy? Would she perhaps have contributed in continuing to raise her five other kids? I don't ask out of spite of religion, I obviously feel very sorry about the whole thing and for a genuinely loving family.

Spot on. I just don't understand why the State Legislature and the University do not see the opportunity presented through UH football and athletics, especially if Maitlin came from the HTA. It seems that business expertise is just not available on the Islands, or the "decision makers" just have no interest in athletics. I've also found it curious that the UH Business School has no comment on issues like athletics or rail. Apparently they teach business theory while real world situations are staring them in the face. Maybe someone will ask for advice from the President during his visit. After all, he has more business experience than most of the politicians on the island combined.	0	not toxic

I'm confused, Doc. I'm a progressive liberal and reluctant Democrat, and an American person, and I get money back every year. Of course, that's because I've always been among the working poor, and never earned enough taxable income. But since there are s-o-o-o many others like myself (pause here for an American Pride Moment) they borrow from my paycheck every period and then send me back the remainder at tax time. And a big shout out to mc! Hey buddy, we've been here before, but I guess it bears repeating - NOTE - they don't ever talk about how much the wealthy pay as a percentage of their income. As you know, the wealthy l-o-v-e their caps. They also love that in many cases there's no way the IRS is ever going to know how much they really make.

You need to get out and around more. Actually live in other Canadian cities. Murdered, mugged or raped? Probably in and around huge swaths near Jane and Finch, huge swaths of Etobicoke, if not all of it. Never mind "stabby" neighbourhoods, in Toronto you have to be concerned that you don't get mixed up in a random drive by shooting. How about mob shoot outs in Little Italy. Or drug gang shoot outs in the Eaton Centre and out on Yonge's shopping area. You'll be looking over your shoulder and not at the big screens at Dundas and Yonge. 90% of Winnipeg's crime occurs in an eight block square referred to as the "North End", historically the landing pad for immigrants and our first peoples.

Paul, despite the media nonsense the greenhouse effect is elementary physics. Yes, more greenhouse gas will cause warming. How warm will it get, don't look to the media because the answer is too complicated. It depends on the feedback mechanisms active. For example, higher temperature causes more water to evaporate which might make more clouds and clouds defeat the greenhouse effect by reflecting solar energy directly back into space. Called negative feedback. Multiple mechanisms are active and the media cannot present a meaningful discussion. Bottom line is that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for centuries thus depletion rate is very slow. Unless we get emissions below the depletion rate CO2 will continue to accumulate. To get below the depletion rate would require draconian elimination of fossil fuel burning everywhere and elimination of deforestation. China would like to burn Nat gas but warmers won't let it be exported so China burns dirty coal. Warmers cause warming.	0	not toxic

Juvenile tweets have global impacts as well and significant ramifications for the dignity of the Office not just from a respectability standpoint, but from a public relations standpoint as well. It is very much headline news. As to your point about the "fake news" articles, they may very well be valid, but it's not something that hasn't been reported on already nor what we already didn't know. Headlines are about immediacy of events. It's also not "biased reporting". The reporter didn't state anything out of verified facts.

Televised sports, especially golf, have brought this on themselves by stubbornly refusing to admit that their age-old rules and traditions can be compromised by modern electronic media. Yes, the USGA finally revised their moving ball rule - after zoom-in high speed camera shots revealed movement invisible to the naked eye but obviously more needs to be done. If none of the the playing partners,caddies or rules officials in your group didn't see it - it didn't happen. Who cares if an Emmy-winning sports broadcaster picked it up.

So do the editors of this paper and the women in these situations realize that if every sexual assault claim with no chance of conviction, which is what unfounded means, is pushed to trial, no one will be convicted due to the back log? Courts are already having to drop charges due to wait times. So sexual assault cases with a good chance of conviction will be dropped because of the doubling or trebling of cases to the point where no one is convicted.

I agree with Tricky, $500,000 is a monster of debt, but I also believe that people are the author of there own (mis) fortune. A house is both an investment for downsizing later and shelter. People need to live within there means. The idea that people can grow wealthy off rising house prices isnt new to this cycle, the same thing happened during the boom of the late eighties early nineties. People must learn to temper there expectations. Learn to live in a smaller house and drive a used car for a while. You get ahead in real estate when you pay off your mortgage. My wife and I did it a number of years ago, and it has been a huge burden off our shoulders, but we made choices (smaller house and used cars) and it has paid off in the long run.

Hi Peter thanks for the comment. I agree with you totally. Once again drawing on the analogy of the abused spouse, there are many reasons why they stay in the relationship. One of which may be that they are uneducated and feel that they would not cope without their partner, and hence due to this fear they betray their responsibility to those they are supposed to protect (in this case their children), in the case of MP's the populace they are supposed to represent. It is only when outside help is provided that we find that some of the abused will take the opportunity and act upon it. Without this help we will continue to propagate endless misery.

I think this survey is indicative of so many things: the decline of the church's moral authority and influence over moral decision-making among the laity; the inability of the church hierarchy to get the laity to follow their thinking (EG gay civil marriage vs religious freedom to discriminate; birth control). Such things like the refusal to conduct a church funeral for gay married members juxtaposed with the church's inadequate responses to the pedophilia crisis)...all this contributes to the institution losing face in the minds and hearts of members.

It is not a canard. When I was heading to Europe in 1973 I took the train across Canada to Montreal. I met a group of six Americans who heading over as well. They were busy sewing Canadian Maple Leafs on their back packs. Being a naive teenager, I was shocked that someone was so ashamed of their country's policies that they had to conceal their identity. They assured me that the practise was quite common. Not sure if it is in business still, but there was a company that advertised phoney covers for American passports that made them look like Canadian passports.

The 1st week of the Trump era has been the seven days of Genesis in reverse, an unmaking of reality and civility and light. Trump said let there be me, and there he was, making and remaking himself in his own image. Instead of sea and sky we have a hall of gaudy mirrors. Instead of fruitful multiplications we have Bannon and Eric and Ivanka and Jared and Don Junior. He saw that it was good, and everything else bad. And so it was. From the very first hour it was that apocalyptic vision of America as a city in pit, a Sodom and Gomorrah of crime and drugs and tombstones and bad dudes. Evening came and morning came, and there he was again, making up new crap. (h/t P. Tristam) And on the 8th day Trump showed what governing incompetence really looked like while his army of ignorant supporters ran around like 6-year olds screaming we won, you lost. Well done, republicans. The last time you embraced governing incompetence you gave us GW Bush,,twice. This time you gave it to us on steroids.

Walter: Well, there are many, many books on this subject. Another one: Rodney Stark's recent "For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Led to Reformations, Science, Witch-Hunts, and the End of Slavery," by Princeton U Press. Another: Charles Murray's "Human Achievement." With those above, that's 4. As well as copious Internet research. Of course, it's not just "knowledge," but what one does with it. The ancient Greeks in the end were "stillborn" on science. It just ended. As did Islamic science. Whereas science since the Catholic Middle Ages has been a going concern because Catholics developed scientific method. It's religion, specifically the Catholic Religion, that gave people a reason and a way of thinking that made science a going concern. In particular, as all these scholars pointed out, St. Thomas Aquinas solved the problem of faith vs. reason by showing there was no conflict, and where conflict seemed to exit, it really was limited human knowledge that needed to be advanced.

Paul, despite the media nonsense the greenhouse effect is elementary physics. Yes, more greenhouse gas will cause warming. How warm will it get, don't look to the media because the answer is too complicated. It depends on the feedback mechanisms active. For example, higher temperature causes more water to evaporate which might make more clouds and clouds defeat the greenhouse effect by reflecting solar energy directly back into space. Called negative feedback. Multiple mechanisms are active and the media cannot present a meaningful discussion. Bottom line is that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for centuries thus depletion rate is very slow. Unless we get emissions below the depletion rate CO2 will continue to accumulate. To get below the depletion rate would require draconian elimination of fossil fuel burning everywhere and elimination of deforestation. China would like to burn Nat gas but warmers won't let it be exported so China burns dirty coal. Warmers cause warming.
