Heck, major hiring is going on in drilling.
Burlington Northern is speeding up the conversion to using LNG which will increase the amount of drilling that we do.
Heck, BNSF laid off 5000 ppl last year because of coal's use falling, but the electrical costs are dropping due to nat gas and wind, so more manufacturing. BNSF rehired 4000 of them.

I agree that kids have the cognitive ability to read very early. But the eye-hand-brain connection doesn't develop at the same rate for all. Your own experience must tell you that. First they must acquire the tools for reading letters and numbers, to associate the sounds they hear with the shapes they see. Having the tools helps each student begin to learn on his/her own.
Head start teachers use fun, innovative ways to help that development along. Yes, parents can foster that process, but some don't know where to begin, and are very grateful for directions. | 0 | not toxic |
I've been designing flash art and tattooing for a little over a year and a half. I live in Port Angels, Wa and the main shop here (that isn't a hole in the wall run by a sketchy looking skinny guy) is all male. I have a contract with them for a notebook of my stuff. I turned that notebook in in October and they still don't have it out. I'd hate to say that they are sexist but it seems like they don't take me seriously. I've been looking for an apprenticeship since I was 19 ( I'm 30 now) and I still haven't found one. When I first asked I was told to basically stay out of tattooing but stick to flash. It'd be nice to get into a shop and grow and learn this art skill. It's different if you're a customer compared to being an artist trying to talk to another artist. | 0 | not toxic |

Knock down the value of the largest homes and you cause a landslide of prices at all levels. In so doing, you steal equity from every homeowner in the country - while at the same time, you force lenders to change the ratios they use to allow mortgage loans.
But that is not all: you make housing less valuable than other alternative investments....causing an irrational movement of dollars toward other investments.
By eliminating the deduction, you would be deciding to tax home ownership more heavily - calling forth less of it - at a time when it is already at historic lows.
Local governments already tax real estate a never ending annual "after-sales" tax of about 1.5% annually.....year in and year out - reaching well over 50% of market value over the life of a 30-year mortgage. That is quite enough tax. | 0 | not toxic |

When Trump went on "The View" in 2011, he said that he had hired investigators to look into Obama's birthplace. He said that "You won't believe what they're finding" and that he would be releasing their report "soon." We didn't know then what we know now: that when Trump promises to release "proof" for any of his lies, he's lying -- in fact, it's Trump-speak for "I'm lying through my teeth." There was no report, no investigation, no investigators -- there was always and only Trump's filthy, racist lies. Here he is on The View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emkDpm_vQDg | 1 | toxic |
“Targeted industries, such as firearms dealers, were presumed guilty by the Obama Justice Department until proven innocent, and many businesses are still facing the repercussions of this misguided program,” the group wrote. “This is no way for law enforcement to operate and runs counter to principles enshrined in our Constitution. By ending Operation Choke Point, the Trump Justice Department has restored the Department’s responsibility to pursue lawbreakers, not legitimate businesses.”

Not only could this offence be impeachable, it could be high treason.
At the very least, perjury:
"Sally Yates, the acting attorney general, judged an intercepted call “highly significant” and “potentially illegal” under the Logan Act, which bars private citizens from interfering in diplomatic disputes with other countries. When word of the Flynn-Kislyak call leaked on Jan. 12, a Trump official denied that sanctions were discussed. The White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, gave a similar answer on Jan. 13, as did Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 15. After Mr. Trump’s inauguration, Mr. Spicer said on Jan. 23 that Mr. Flynn again assured him that sanctions had not been discussed. Shortly afterward, Ms. Yates, with agreement from James Comey, the F.B.I. director, informed Donald McGahn, the White House counsel, about what really happened." | 0 | not toxic |

Conservatives are still fooling themselves that most Canadians liked Harper's policies, and only threw the CPC out of office because he was a scowling bully. The same policies from a scary clown won't fool anyone.
Some of Scheer's policies:
No tax on home energy prices so millionaires won't have to pay taxes to heat their mansions? That makes no sense at all.
Cancel the carbon tax but still fight global warming? How are you going to do that effectively if you don't put a cost on polluting?
A big tax credit to encourage parents to keep their kids out of school? How will you ensure kids are getting an adequate education from do-it-yourself amateurs? It sounds like a really bad idea.
Resume Harper's unquestioning support for right-wing Israeli governments in creating a "greater Israel" and oppressing Palestinians? That's an inhumane and unworthy idea.

A balanced response to this move could be encased in the quote from Obi Won Kenobi in Star Wars, saying "you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
There is a truth on both sides of this - from the points of view of Fukumoto and the Republican Party. As for whose "truth" prevails - that of Fukumoto or the Republican Party leaders in Hawaii - only time is going to tell.
It is apparent though that she is leaving while tossing the lighter into the barn - the Outline Piece Chad cited is very clear on it's focus - that the Republican Party killed a Republican and the party itself is on life support already. Whether we needed that theme thrown into all this as Hawaii citizens, at least it makes for interesting political watching. | 0 | not toxic |

Mr. Lewis is an example of everything the Democrats are doing wrong at this point. From Obama and Hillary on down, they are putting their own hurt feelings ahead of the good of their country. Decrying the election results makes them sound like a whiny sports team that lost the big game and then blames the rules, the other team, the refs and the league for their loss.
Where is the Democratic leadership? They should be standing strong, taking the high road, showing class. And above all they should be supporting the public's belief in the integrity of the voting system. After all, it's the same system that put the Democrats in the White House for the last eight years! Instead, they're selfishly undermining it and their country both.

More to your false assertion that "any one who wants to work is working."
Marilyn Geewax is the national economics correspondent for the NPR. She says: "Yes, we can say now that for younger, tech-savvy, well-educated people, jobs abound. The recession truly is over. And 2016 should be a great year for job hunting. But for people in their 50s with rusty skills or teenagers with relatively little education, the phrase "full employment" is a painful taunt." Add what she says to what Borjas says, above, and the conclusion is that open borders or massive immigration can't work, and isn't working, in our welfare economy. I'd say this more than meets my burden. Where's your refutation, other than a cheap shot that I'm "new to debate." LOL. | 0 | not toxic |
Well, to be fair, forecasting weather in Anchorage is extremely difficult. Note that in the roughly 40-ish miles as the crow flies from ANC to Whittier the average annual precipitation goes up by roughly 10X. We are often in a scenario of how much "weather" makes it over the mountains to our side (the lee side) and because you have considerable climatological variation in such a short distance it is very difficult to nail any particular forecast. They do the best they can with the tools they have. To be sure, they are actually more correct than it seems and they definitely do a better job than someone without any training.

Do you believe that your faith leads you to meet all of these very human expectations? Are you so sure that all your behaviors and works support God, that you have never done anything detestable, disobedient?
Is it easy for you to 'rank' your sins as less than the sins of others?
Yours is a circular argument that has to believe YOU personally know the mind of God, which you do not. You quote human/church scripture out of context and remove the many other ways in which God reveals his love for his/her imperfect children outside of the walls of a church.
Your faith is your own and if it makes you a more loving and compassionate person, they I would say you are fed by the Fruits of the Spirit. I can't know your heart, I'll leave that judgement to another source.
If you use your religion to lift your status above God's other children, then yours is not a faith that I can share.

To raise the level of dialogue I'd be happy to propose a few policies that are unlikely to be pursued by the Liberals, but could be effective for the Conservatives. First, acknowledge measure and effectively regulate the influx of Chinese money in Canada's real estate market using our legal, taxation and immigration systems. Second, tie immigration levels to health care wait times (wait times are a good mechanism to measure the capacity of Canada's social system to accept new population). Third, require all carbon taxation to be directly expended on infrastructure that will reduce greenhouse gases, rather than putting it into general revenue. This means public transit, subways and trains for Canadians, rather than billions handed out to other nations. | 0 | not toxic |
"Writing about President Barack Obama’s legacy is not complete without mentioning the increased number of drone deaths of civilians under his watch."
Yes. Every president has created and engaged in his own war(s). Obama has been no different. The drone wars, the war against ISIS, the War on Libya, dabbling in the war on Syria, and some covert wars in North African nations such as Somalia.
It was clear from the start of Obama's presidency that unless his large base of hopeful supporters remained mobilized and engaged in demanding change, Obama would be unable to make more than perfunctory change. | 0 | not toxic |

Remember all the local pols who patted themselves on the back for landing the "XYZ" call center and all the good jobs it would provide. Call centers have minimal investment costs in where they locate and, at least in Lane County, manage to get local government to pay for the lions share of it with tax concessions. In the end, they move to wherever the next low cost place is. While Oregon certainly hasn't made it any easier for these mobile jobs (i.e. mandatory sick leave, huge jump in minimum wages looming), the fact is these are not companies that develop local ties and local roots.

I'd say you're conflating Trump with the United States. The world still wants to partner with the US, it's true. But that is in spite of Trump, not because of him. And that may yet change as he steadily erodes any benefit from such alliances.
What do you say, hmmmmm? | 0 | not toxic |

No one is "looking the other way or making excuses." Abortion is a private medical decision and as such a basic right. Medical decisions are private--by law. Pretending otherwise is a form of extremism. | 0 | not toxic |

FINALLY....IT'S PARTY TIME!! This is what the islands have been waiting for thanks to Hawaiian Airlines' constant bashing of us locals. Ridiculous fares, tighter seats, ripoff change fees, ripoff baggage fees. I pray the next step for Southwest is island to island flights.
Now we all just need a ferry system so we can stick it to Young Brothers too. What a great day in Hawaii nei. Soody, Hawaiian! | 0 | not toxic |
