Erin, the missionaries actually arrived in Hawaii soon after Hawaiians overthrew the oppressive kapu system. The missionaries often worked quite hard to protect Hawaiians from exploitation and disease spread by whalers and other visitors. Contrary to your claim that the missionaries "broke the language," they actually recorded the Hawaiian language in written form for the first time and promoted literacy in that language, thus helping to preserve it and empower Hawaiians to record their own thoughts, traditions, and aspirations. Yes, the missionaries sure looked down on much of Hawaiian culture, repressed its more sensual aspects, and used language to promote a dour form of Christianity. But they also viewed Hawaiians compassionately, as threatened people worth "saving" and educating to better cope with a changing world. Hawaiians are free now to repudiate any religion at any time without fear, unlike in the kapu days, which really weren't so great for everyone. Merry Christmas!	0	not toxic

icon66, W O W, I was waiting to give you the benefit of the doubt, however, now I know that you are either using LSD, or other HALLUCINOGENIC, drugs. I would even wager that 666 is your favorite number: Revelation 13:15–18. According to the last book in the Bible, 666 is the number, or name, of the wild beast with seven heads and ten horns that comes out of the sea. (Revelation 13:1, 17, 18) This beast is a symbol of the worldwide political system, which rules over “every tribe and people and tongue and nation.” (Revelation 13:7) The name 666 identifies the political system as a gross failure in God’s sight.	0	not toxic

Supply - The new housing units that are coming on line are tiny condos 70% are studio and 1 bedroom. Even the 2 bedrooms are a joke - as the 2nd bedroom barely fit a crib, and the master can fit a Queen but no side tables or dresser. Demand - 60% of new condo units are not occupied by the owner. All "investors" Investors prefer to buy many small units. Take away - housing bubble. Municipalities have let down their citizens. Who is allowing these permits? Are they hateful lonely people, that can't get a date, as many of these units are unlivable for a couple, let alone a family. Are they conducting a social experiment? What is their motivation to allow these awful, tiny units? My guess $. Problem: That we do not know how much of this is foreign money is troubling. That many foreign buyers are getting mortgages from Canadian banks is really worrying.	0	not toxic

Of course I provided the evidence you asked for. If you want to split hairs, be my guest, but the fact is they don't believe Trump. They don't have to use the word false; there are many synonyms "I see no information to support the claim" = false. "I see no reason to believe the claim is true" = lie = false. No matter how you want to spin it, it's generally accepted among both Democrats and Republicans he has no evidence. He's recently tried to redefine what wiretap means, but it's so obvious he's been caught in a lie and now he's trying to wriggle out of it. Such incompetent loser we have for a president.	1	toxic

I have visited churches on three continents this year and in every congregation women predominate in the pews. The current problem with our denomination is not WO, but that the representation of women as church elders, church board members, Conference Constituency delegates, GC and Autumn Council delegates, is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to their presence in the pews! Our denomination is presided over by a MINORITY of male chauvinist elitists. The Women Ordination problem is a tiny facet of unequal representation of our women members at ALL levels of church governing structure, not just at the pastoral level.	0	not toxic

The only proven way to get people to leave their cars parked on occasion is to enforce traffic laws. Since EPD has effectively refused to do this since the killing of officer Kilcullen, any and every environmentalist has an interest in the hiring of the head of EPD.

Since they began turning a blind eye to this, we've seen a 30% decline in cycling in Eugene.

it's an important question, but the really important question is what was shared and what purpose did it serve? . Trump obviously thought it was important to share this intel. He may have discussed this with the country that supplied the information before he shared, or after or not at all. It may have furthered cooperation regarding isis or it may have helped DT personally - we don't know. . We also don't know the reason for the leak. It may have been to alert the country of a national security breech - or it may have been to subvert an unpopular (to the leaker) president. Again - we don't know. .

We still have Mutual Assured Destruction, MAD. Running Russia up against a wall has to be better defined. Russia wants Ukraine as a client state and a buffer, like Belarus which is a neutered pussycat. Ukraine doesn't want to be Belarus, it wants to be Ukraine allied with NATO and a part of prosperous Europe. NATO in Ukraine might make Russia behave a little better. Crimea would still have to buy its electricity from Ukraine. But the "nothing to lose" bothers me. I don't see the US invading all or part of Russia, no one has done that successfully, and for what purpose? The only thing Russia would have to lose under any foreseeable circumstance is their very existence after a nuclear exchange. Plenty of Democrats (myself included) have taken various administrations to task over invasion of other nations.

The level of disrespect I have for Canadian soldiers? That is rich. The definition of treason says nothing, NOTHING, about the traitor having to be a soldier. And although I do not for a second believe that you are who or what you say you are, who can say? You may or may not be a vet, you may or may not have been injured. I can say that I am in close contact with a number of former CF members, some still reservists, and your sympathies for Khadr would represent a rather small minority opinion, to say the least. But maybe I'm making THAT up. But again, as for your accusation of disrespect to Canadian soldiers, real or pretend, that is an outrageous lie. Khadr translated for the Taliban, made bombs for them and fought for them. FACTS. Canadian Forces were engaged in hostilities against the Taliban. FACT. A more classic example of treason would be hard to imagine. And this disgusting reward for treason is a an even more classic example of disrespect to real vets.	0	not toxic

"As I wrote on the day of his inauguration, Mr. Trump is fundamentally an anti-American president. He has spoken for decades of the joy he takes in America’s destruction: whether bragging that the 9/11 attacks made his buildings look taller, cheerleading the 2007 housing crash and recession or stating in 2014 that, “You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you’ll have a [chuckles], you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great.” " This is precisely what Naomi Klein has written about in her books The Shock Doctrine and No Is Not Enough.

Of course I provided the evidence you asked for. If you want to split hairs, be my guest, but the fact is they don't believe Trump. They don't have to use the word false; there are many synonyms "I see no information to support the claim" = false. "I see no reason to believe the claim is true" = lie = false. No matter how you want to spin it, it's generally accepted among both Democrats and Republicans he has no evidence. He's recently tried to redefine what wiretap means, but it's so obvious he's been caught in a lie and now he's trying to wriggle out of it. Such incompetent loser we have for a president.

I have visited churches on three continents this year and in every congregation women predominate in the pews. The current problem with our denomination is not WO, but that the representation of women as church elders, church board members, Conference Constituency delegates, GC and Autumn Council delegates, is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to their presence in the pews! Our denomination is presided over by a MINORITY of male chauvinist elitists. The Women Ordination problem is a tiny facet of unequal representation of our women members at ALL levels of church governing structure, not just at the pastoral level.

The only proven way to get people to leave their cars parked on occasion is to enforce traffic laws. Since EPD has effectively refused to do this since the killing of officer Kilcullen, any and every environmentalist has an interest in the hiring of the head of EPD. There's also that little thing about our police department allowing homeless thugs (and other thugs) to take over our bike paths. Since they began turning a blind eye to this, we've seen a 30% decline in cycling in Eugene.

it's an important question, but the really important question is what was shared and what purpose did it serve? . Trump obviously thought it was important to share this intel. He may have discussed this with the country that supplied the information before he shared, or after or not at all. It may have furthered cooperation regarding isis or it may have helped DT personally - we don't know. . We also don't know the reason for the leak. It may have been to alert the country of a national security breech - or it may have been to subvert an unpopular (to the leaker) president. Again - we don't know. . We can only make informed assumptions based on past actions. So far Trump appears to have made poor policy decisions and to have significant conflicts of interest. That suggests that the sharing of information may be self serving - but we have yet to determine that

We still have Mutual Assured Destruction, MAD. Running Russia up against a wall has to be better defined. Russia wants Ukraine as a client state and a buffer, like Belarus which is a neutered pussycat. Ukraine doesn't want to be Belarus, it wants to be Ukraine allied with NATO and a part of prosperous Europe. NATO in Ukraine might make Russia behave a little better. Crimea would still have to buy its electricity from Ukraine. But the "nothing to lose" bothers me. I don't see the US invading all or part of Russia, no one has done that successfully, and for what purpose? The only thing Russia would have to lose under any foreseeable circumstance is their very existence after a nuclear exchange. Plenty of Democrats (myself included) have taken various administrations to task over invasion of other nations. Opposition to stupid wars is what we do, and Republicans, in general, do not.

The level of disrespect I have for Canadian soldiers? That is rich. The definition of treason says nothing, NOTHING, about the traitor having to be a soldier. And although I do not for a second believe that you are who or what you say you are, who can say? You may or may not be a vet, you may or may not have been injured. I can say that I am in close contact with a number of former CF members, some still reservists, and your sympathies for Khadr would represent a rather small minority opinion, to say the least. But maybe I'm making THAT up. But again, as for your accusation of disrespect to Canadian soldiers, real or pretend, that is an outrageous lie. Khadr translated for the Taliban, made bombs for them and fought for them. FACTS. Canadian Forces were engaged in hostilities against the Taliban. FACT. A more classic example of treason would be hard to imagine. And this disgusting reward for treason is a an even more classic example of disrespect to real vets.

"As I wrote on the day of his inauguration, Mr. Trump is fundamentally an anti-American president. He has spoken for decades of the joy he takes in America’s destruction: whether bragging that the 9/11 attacks made his buildings look taller, cheerleading the 2007 housing crash and recession or stating in 2014 that, “You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster. Then you’ll have a [chuckles], you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great.” " This is precisely what Naomi Klein has written about in her books The Shock Doctrine and No Is Not Enough. Trump and his cabinet of billionaires, each and every one a "fox in the henhouse", create and embrace chaos and destruction so as to better impose a neo-liberal agenda of cutting, slashing, and burning public institutions and public programs in order to line their own pockets and enrich the 1%.

Mr. Brizdle, your arguments, and the way you construct them, are bogus and always have been. Traffic congestion will get worse despite rail, because of population growth and new development. Traffic congestion would get even worse than that without rail. Rail will relieve traffic congestion completely for those who ride it, because it provides an alternative to driving. Your fallacious arguments are no longer even relevant. The discussion among reasonable people should now concentrate on how best to complete the rail project and extend it to UH Manoa at the lowest cost to taxpayers. You don't like rail. We get it.
