Undoubtedly you have some knowledge but I have been reading history and geography for 60 years including at University. Lets not discuss flags as symbols any more... but tell me, in your wisdom what other symbols represent colonialism and how?
It's a vexatious issue and perhaps you can explain the destruction of paintings, photographs, books too as being colonial... or is it just destructive behaviour. The same applies to burning college buildings and libraries, schools too. | 0 | not toxic |

There was (and is) a lot of Mormon sentiment that "this land is my land" in various regions of the west.
According to journal entries, when my family came west to Oregon in a wagon train, they feared an attack from Mormons more than from the native tribes. There was some justification for their fear:

Yes, Billy boy is right on schedule with his Bears are Humans too Malarkey. All the Disney conditioned, brain dead cell syncopates chime in with Bears run the city, not you, and assorted insanities. Of course the liberals give him his forum here like they have for many years. Civilization (I guess that is Anchorage?) is for humans not bears. We have spent over a thousand years making it this way, and safe, and now one crazy pied piper of crazy town wants to tear that down.

You still haven't established probable cause. The presence of a legal substance, pot or booze or tobacco, is not sufficient to jump to the probable conclusion that there is distribution involved.

"The new measures will not apply to backbench MPs who will be free to raise money at private or closed-door events." The PM is One person, the MPs are 30. So just what has changed or been "ended"?

The older you get, the weaker your immune system. Also, as people age it is more likely that they will have microscopic lesions at the slightest friction. Thus, old people are more likely be infected with a STD at genital contacts and have worse symptoms and disease outcomes. There are some STD's without any treatment, mostly viral infection including HIV. Remember the Tom Hanks character in the film "Philadelphia" covered with weird rashes? That is what happens when someone with a compromised immune system gets herpes. That is whats is going to happen to old people if they get herpes. | 0 | not toxic |

Bravo, ten years. I've been pleading for about five. I support the proposal even though I'm for 100% ban on personal fireworks.

Would be interested in the potential impact that the transfer DL from Clemson, Scott Pagano, will have on the Ducks defense this season. Guessing he could make a big difference by adding an experienced player to add depth and experience playing strong teams on the line.

Before we get deep on the subject of 'guns,' violence, and causation factors, I would again remind everyone of this story I have mentioned before of this old movie I watched. This guy goes to a specialty shop where powerful weapons are made and under the provision that money is no object he asks for a very powerful weapon to be made for him. When the buyer goes in to pick up his new weapon he ask's the builders if it is safe but powerful? The builder says, "This weapon is a mighty force, with one exception, , , one slight, , , imperfection."
"What, imperfection?" the buyer ask's.
The Chief Weapons Builder responds, "The imperfection 'EVERY' weapon has, , , it's, 'User.' | 0 | not toxic |

Trump won the Presidency he more-likely-than-not never really thought he would win when he started his campaign. After all, 2016 wasn't his first rodeo and previous runs went down in flames rather quickly.

Now.....is he vying for another unthinkable post? He campaigned that the UN was basically a waste of time, money, and effort......but now seems to want to make it.....better.....bigger.....with far more teeth.....to actually confront and deal with International Problems on a Global Scale.....such as North Korea, Iran, and any other issues that effect the world as a whole.

Is Trump hoping to "re-invent" the UN to become an actual One World Governmental Body.....with teeth.....with a United Military.....to take on and confront issues "for the better good of the entire world"?

Overpopulation is a difficult issue, however, because the only proven way to reduce birth rates is via improved standards of living and education.

Regarding: "Married priests will remove much of the leverage for women priests. If there is no significant felt need for women priests, then it will be easier for the hierarchy to continue to say no to them."
- Well, no. It is just as likely, that once the discipline of celibacy is removed as a criteria for ordination to the presbyterate it will be an easier step for women (married or chastely celibate) to be ordained to the presbyterate; somewhat of the Holy Spirit's in for penny in for a pound.
- The real concern should be that the hoped for influx of 're-activated' married presbyters and newly ordained and married presbyters of both genders will not re-clericalize the church.
- That is, the 'dearth' of the ordained in local churches should be seen as necessary medicine leading the body of Christ to actively include the laity in all church ministries. That is, it should be no problem for a lay person to be a pastor, than it should be for a married woman to preside at the Eucharist. | 0 | not toxic |

NURSES in prisons can be sadistic because they have so much power. Nurses can override the directions of bonafide Medical Doctors who come in from outside to see prisoners. NURSES can decide to refuse a prisoner the medication/procedures prescribed by those doctors, then the prisoners must go through grievance process and court
Prisoners, especially wrongfully convicted lifers, are mistreated in an attempt to cover up the court's mistakes, can be kept forever while not getting medical treatment needed. Medical treatment in prisons is often used as an extra-judicial way to punish and threaten.

The federal government paid five different dentists to make new dentures, none of which were wearable. He was conditionally released with his old broken dentures and immediately got dentures that fit!

Vouchers don't steal tax dollars from public schools. They (rightfully) give parents (some) of their tax dollars back to provide those parents funding to put their kids in a better performing school, if it happens to be private. In other words, the anti-voucher program is actually the method that is stealing money. It then puts it into an often inferior system the families may have chosen not to utilize. Rephrased, they're being forced to pay for a program they're not using.
Removing the voucher program essentially entitles public schools and teachers who are underperforming to the same funds as if they were performing exceptionally. Where's the motivation to improve if you are rewarded either way? The same goes for a tenure-based (read: entitlement-based) salary versus a market-based (read: performance-based) salary.

Yes, the things are related. However, several of them are actually opposites, so not related as various states and bodies of water are related.

Hi, Doc. Yeah, I'm with you on this. Don't think it's "Fake news" as some would have us believe. Rather, I think it's "sloppy news"--no strategy or conspiracy at all, just...overworked, inexperienced, pressured people making mistakes. This isn't the only one, as many commenters have noted. Another headline says blatantly, "Trudeau to end controversial cash-for-access..." and he HASN'T ended it at all, just changed some of the parameters.
Lots of headlines are misleading and, some, downright silly. Story is not at all what the headline suggests.
Readers may be witnessing the death-throes of a media giant that's beset with chronic plummeting ad revenue...without the money, you can't hire the bodies needed (to meet deadlines), let alone the talent needed (to deliver what some call "quality journalism").

As an incredibly fortunate Canadian citizen (born, raised, taxed), I don't take for granted that I'm a direct benefactor of our cohesive, educated, and peaceful society. I also know that there is no way for me to imagine the atrocities of war or what it might be like to seek refuge. I don't underestimate the need for a refugee to leave, but I also don't want to be responsible for them. And I don't know who would or should, but I'd, personally, like to see my tax dollars spent on ways that directly benefit me (since I'm middle class I won't hold my breath), and I'm not convinced a family of 5 Syrian refugees does this. In fact, I'm not even sure how they will contribute to the cohesive, educated and peaceful society that I'm a product of, which is a real concern. I'm not sure why "vetting" is such a dirty word, if we're going to be expected to pay for less fortunate persons, could we at least ensure they are in full support of integrating themselves into their new surroundings. | 0 | not toxic |
