My view is a little more nuanced, having had close friends who were "PKs" (Preacher's kids). I don't think anyone, married or celibate, should be ordained before 40 without special circumstances. Men with families should be ordained only after the children are grown. The pressure on clergy families is immense, and the children deserve a normal childhood. The word "presbyter" from which "priest" comes has Greek roots associated with "old man", suggesting that the earliest "priests" were elders, not 20-somethings. But for this change to work, the role of priest as the primary leader of the church must change, too, so he can work outside the parish and let laity control more community services and functions. This would equalize power and make the parish a true body where many gifts are recognized and used. Married clergy without an older ordination age and change in lay roles would solve only part of the problem. Celibate or married makes no difference.

When the history of the nighrmare that is the "Trump Presidency" is written, Ryan will be judged appropriately as the ultimate of enablers. But it's Ryan who'd sacrifice any semblance of decency and loyalty to principle to accomplish his long held goals: Destroy Medicaid and shred the balance of the "safety net" to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Ryan would leave the country a fiscal wreck, let loose a crazed megalomaniac on the military, and destroy America's role as a beacon of freedom, just to enact his vile and despicable legislative agenda.

Dartguard One's best friend tells the best friend when best friend is wrong. It does not join the best friend in the objectionable activity. Afghanistan was a perfect example. I was appalled when the US attacked Afghanistan. Any other country attacking that poor nation and I would expect that Canada would be on the side of the Afghans. Instead we joined in the attack!! Now? .We withdraw from NATO. We have done our job keeping the US and the USSR, then Russia, apart. Hopefully the US will pull out of NATO as well. Trump's relationship with Putin could be a the greatest asset. I do wonder what would have happened if Austria had refused to join Germany in the 1930s. After all Canada is to the US as Austria was to Germany.

Well, Yes. Of course there is still some racism by Whites (and ALL Racial groups)- but nothing like the past. In your (Daimler Portland) example, I wonder if any of those white workers were American whites? It IS a strange development to have increased (apparent) racism towards a man who has been with the company for 22 years. Unless these Are American whites, and groups such as "Black Lives Matter" and shootings of Police Officers have created a backlash situation were more Whites are developing a negative view of Blacks?

Wars are generally fought by the poor, the uneducated, and the ignorant. Most of them join the military because they see it as the only option to improve their lot, and through advertising, to give their lives "meaning". War is invariably fought for the benefit of the wealthy and the military industrial complex. The government treats their veterans with neglect and contempt once their service is finished. I wouldn't call them sheep; I feel sorry for them. A few individuals will serve out of a misguided sense of patriotism even if they do not believe in the cause.

Never let the Constitution stand in the way of a good post talking point. As written the Constitution establishes the judiciary (Article III.) Section 2 sets the power of Supreme Court to hear ... all Cases, in law and Equity, arising under this Constitution. the Laws of the United States,...

A few points: 1) Full-recourse does not mean one cannot have a debt absolved by declaring bankruptcy. 2) I love it when someone says the CMHC must be doing due diligence while the ratio of the cost of mortgages vs. incomes are the highest in Canadian history. 3) Lending institutions are going to get hit by losses. This one just did. It was enough to collapse Countrywide. You know, you are right. This may be nothing like the US. It could be much, much worse. Already, BC and Ontario are completely dependent on the land-transfer tax to balance their budgets. Imagine what the budgets would look like without a robust market.

Let's look at the two issues mentioned early on in the article, the payment to Khadr, and the free trade deal with China. The reaction across Canada when this payment was announced was swift and continues and it is not just Conservatives. You don't have to vote Conservative to feel that paying Khadr 10M was out of line. As for the free trade deal with China, poll after poll has shown that people are uncomfortable with a close relationship with China. It's not just Conservatives who have read papers and followed media reports over the years, and it's not just Conservatives who respond to polls.There is certain arrogance that has been there for some time, that only Liberals have the the right ideas, and everyone else is wrong unless they believe in the one true faith of liberalism. This arrogance brings their defeat at the polls every time when people have had enough. In today's fast moving pace, the arrogance has been accelerated, and the inevitable defeat will be as well.

When will these old, crusty white men go away? At some pont a sensitive electorite needs to reject them. And the "parties" simply have to be devalued, to be told, demonstratively, that they don't matter and they no longer control the game. Trump's installment (I won't say election, because he wasn't elected, he was "installed"---and the Electoral College should burn in hell, but, hey) should be all the proof any rational person would need. Americans need to take back control of their country, as they once did. And understand that those forefathers which they revere, were corrupt. They owned slaves. They owned fellow human beings. And apparently were not torn up about it. Which is troubling. And casts a rather large shadow over this "Land of the Free". It was for some. But not for all. And that is a big deal. Yes, even now. America cannot escape it's past. There must, at some time, be a reckoning. A nation cannot heal if it does not heal. If it does not try.

Personal story here. One of my daughter's friends was a student in Arkansas for the last four years. When she returned to Alaska, she registered to vote. Until this story broke about Trump's daughter, it never occurred to her that Alaska wouldn't contact Arkansas & tell them that her voter registration had changed to another state, but when she called the Arkansas Voter Registration office, she learned that she was indeed registered in two states. She had no intention of voting in two states, although she did wonder aloud if every college graduate and student who had been unwittingly registered in two states might have swung the election against Trump had they known. On the voter rolls when I sign my name, I can look down & see that there are at least three people listed who have been dead for multiple years. Without photo ID checks, all that dead wood and multiple registrations could be exploited by enterprising fraudsters. It's time to do a wholesale cleanup for safety's sake.

You people want the foreigner and stranger excluded, expelled. You attack the sick, especially the poor sick, you're happy to see the imprisoned executed or banged up forever, you befriend the rich and set yourselves against minorities. Love of family - Jesus specifically said that his family were those who listened to his word and put it into practice. Love of country - the justification for many of the wars you have entered into, narrow nationalism, protect ourselves with no concept that your brother, sister or neighbour IS your family. The justification too for the anti-kingdom arming every citizen which actually ignores the constitution's strict rules for carrying weapons and would have Jesus horrified. Clueless.

Drugs and alcohol. Both should be absolute disqualifying child interaction problems. How can drug or alcohol addiction be in any way rationalized as problems that are OK to have when caring for a child? Someone is IN rehab? GOING to rehab? HAS IT UNDER CONTROL? HAPPENED TO AVOID arrest, another DUI, overdose, there is/was a justification for falling off the wagon? Yes, there will always be a continuing problem when a father and mother are together, and enabling behavior is carried out by one of the other. Yes it will be difficult to deal with those situations. But, when it is being laid out before a court that a potential custodial or care parent has a drug or alcohol problem, when the person is either going into rehab by their own telling, in rehab, or in need of rehab, how is child interaction without direct and sure supervision in any way justified? The standard is a simple one. No child interaction if any indication of drug or alcohol abuse. Period.

So truly, is this about privacy and personal rights, parental control, or your personal religious beliefs? Be honest. Some of these girls are in a terrible position, and as far as I am concerned it should be primarily about them and their health, not somebody else. They did not get pregnant by themselves, they are the most impacted by their options, and few are choosing to get pregnant. It does take two you know. In a perfect world they would involve their family in reproductive decisions, but there are many far less than perfect families and parents, incest is very real in Alaska, and there are many situations vulnerable juveniles can be pressured or forced into. I am not willing to sit in judgment nor apparently the courts.

Juwan Thompson ran very well last night. Also, I thought he was the one running back who consistently converted on short yardage situations picking up 1st downs in the process. And that is the main weakness on offense. Picking up 1st downs in short yardage. Having said that, there is no way Denver could keep Juwan. Only way to keep Juwan would have been to trade C.J. Anderson and hand the running back job to Charles, Henderson and Booker (when healthy). And the Broncos did not have the guts to pull the trigger on that option. I think C.J. has severely underperformed since signing his new contract. For a big back, he struggles to pick up a yard or two when you need it.
