Leave it to a vote. So much for freedom of speech. The coach didn’t want to single out guys that were kneeling and at the same time not single out guys that were not going to kneel. Only the guys kneeling are criticizing the guys not kneeling. So a team vote is done and they decide not to participate. Which give the impression that they are unanimously opposing participating. Not unanimously by vote but by majority rule. More yea than nay. That’s not freedom of speech by any stretch. That’s the opposite. That’s oppression. The exact thing they are fighting. One player expresses his opposing view, is called a non conformer and then bullied into explaining that he was wrong and it was all a misunderstanding. Tells the true character of Villanueva. SMH.

I can't imagine on what legal principle you imagine her family got to own our public lands merely because she was permitted to use it. No, ownership is not a nebulous concept at all. It was federal land ever since it became US territory. You don't get to "own" it just because I and the other taxpayers allowed you to graze your cattle on it. How can Feds be "squatters" on our own land? She is the squatter. No, ownership is not a nebulous concept. The US holds the deed to the land. Case closed. It was not "at some point" federally owned. It was federally owned AT ALL TIMES since becoming US territory. It would seem you are the one who needs to start thinking before commenting. | 0 | not toxic |

Christians, along with people of other faiths, have a rich history of persevering in the face of adversity and discrimination. I'm sure TWU law students won't be deterred by it in this case. Any employer that would discriminate against TWU students based on the school's community covenant is someone they wouldn't want to work for anyway. How a TWU graduate will interact with other coworkers or clients is the sort of thing a fair-minded employer would judge through an interview, along with the student's work history.. | 0 | not toxic |

Terrible article. The columnist and the quoted author could have done with more research examine different angles and viewpoints. The reality is it takes two to tango, have casual sex, and get nowhere close to long term relationships and marriage. There is no purpose to marriage and it introduces massive risk and cost to a wealthy individual. Also what an idiotic stat to use on university graduates.

"R-factors are calculated from what Verum director of research Sean Rife and his colleagues call golden citations, which reference manuscripts that directly replicate a particular study. (The vast majority of citations—about 95%—just mention other papers.) A paper’s R-factor is the number of confirmatory golden citations divided by the sum of confirmatory and refuting golden citations. The more reproducible a study is, the closer its R-factor is to 1."

Populism on environmental issues will always fail because these are issues which affect everyone, yet no one individual benefits directly for their contribution to dealing with it.
At the same time, technocratic approaches are also useless because they fail to build the critical mass of support for the right action at the right time. | 0 | not toxic |

I believe within any organization there exists a natural form of bias, as those within them generally holds the same goals and beliefs. Its what makes organizations successful, whether they be your local Walmart, Girl Scouts of American, or your local city government. And specifically to government, this is why we have a jury system, so that some mechanism can exist to hold itself accountable for such bias. And with that I might rephrase the question to this:
Are juries rigged to allow government to produce a specific outcome that only they can control? While Jury tampering is taken very seriously, I acknowledge like any crime, it can occur, but to the extent that it is litterlly a fundamental aspect of juries, I do not believe to be true. And just like any crime, I would have to see more than just opinion or anecdotal evidence to believe in such a conspiracy. | 0 | not toxic |

You know, this is supposed to be an age in which women consider themselves as men's equals. Movies now glorify fights in which a woman takes down legions of men in hand-to-hand combat. On the other hand, we see these claims of wrongdoing from conveniently far enough back in time so that there is no hope whatsoever of obtaining convincing evidence to prove or disprove allegations. When asked why the reports and allegations are delivered so long after the incidents, inevitably the women suggest that they were afraid or intimidated or might face retaliation or whatever excuse. Men (except when molested by priests as children) cannot get away with this. The choice of these women to attack when defense is no longer possible because time has rendered direct evidence of any kind impossible is the action of cowards. Equality has many faces. | 0 | not toxic |

I certainly emphasize with your reader that sent this email and would say that my wife and I are in a similar situation.

One resource that I have found very informative and I have used it to guide my strategy over the last several years is "Your Retirement Income Blueprint" by Daryl Diamond. Mr. Diamond is a Canadian financial advisor that specializes in the process of drawing retirement income from your investments. This book is well worth the cost. | 0 | not toxic |

Unfortunately, this campaign was never going to be about "the issues." Trump simply could not run on the issues because he does not know enough about them to sustain a substantive discussion, let alone participate in a debate. He was always going to rely on the bombast and bluster that got him through the primaries. Clinton is a policy wonk who won the admiration even of her opponents for her mastery of issues while she was in the Senate. Trump would have drowned in the sea of his ignorance had the campaign been about issues -- and he and everyone around him knew it. A danger for Hillary, a danger for nerds generally, is that she might have bored us with the minutiae of policy and philosophy. It would have been a blessing. Trump has done enormous damage. His campaign was an exercise in bigotry, ignorance and boorishness. That it got him this far is tragic. Pray God, this far and no farther. | 0 | not toxic |
Thank you Gary, I appreciated your well-reasoned calm response this morning to Jackie Owsley. While scary as a conspiracy theory seeming to blame our former president for traitorous sabotage of the incoming administration, I found the crazy parts to be roughly based on a twisted interpretation of accessible facts, though I can't find anything on US assassination of Crimean politicians, nor any reference to US artillery or soldiers in Ukraine shelling Russian occupiers.
If Congress declines to investigate Flynn's purpose in talking with Russian embassy spies before the election, and if Trump can weather that storm, then he can survive. On the other hand, if rats keep deserting the doomed ship, at a certain point this administration will fall apart from attrition. What I see with Flynn falling on his sword is smart protection of Pence, who so far has plausible deniability of involvement, having been "lied to" by Flynn. This may have been worked out since Jan 26 between Bannon and Pence. | 0 | not toxic |

[He has since maintained that he misunderstood the scope of the question and that his meetings with Kislyak were strictly in his capacity as a U.S. senator. In a March appearance on Fox television, Sessions said, "I don't recall any discussion of the campaign in any significant way."]
IIRC I commented on how implausible Sessions was when he said that. What I didn't recognize until recently is how his revisions were a precursor to a practice that is rampant in the Trump administration. 1st: "That didn't happen."
2nd: "It was appropriate/innocent."
3rd: "I misunderstood/He's ignorant."
Just off the top of my head is Jr.s emails for Hillary information, Trump's disclosure of sensitive information to Russians, the firing of Comey, Session's confirmation hearings, Kushner's security clearance application, and going all the way back to Flynn's campaign discussions.

I mean culturally English like most Protestantism as we experience it in the USA (Lutherans and Michigan "Reformed" types aside). But also like the Ordinariate, which is about as far from creeping Protestantism/evangelicalism as one can get.
Then again it was the English Protestant heresiarch Cranmer who first put the Ten Commandments into the Mass, originally in the form of a troped Kyrie. The Ordinariates have it as part of their "Anglican patrimony" not from Sarum Rite times but from the beginnings of Protestantism.
You're probably right, it is probably creeping Protestantism at work in the story, regardless of the cultural significance (strong enough for it to be retained by the Ordinariate) to those of certain ethnicity or heritage. | 0 | not toxic |

What about the parents? The best thing to do is have a schedule that is consistent throughout the year - same hours/same days every week with absolute minimum deviation. Every time kids are let out early, an unnecessary hardship on parents and kids is created, resulting in latch-key situations where children are left at home unsupervised because of the difficult choice the school board is foisting on the family - stay at home or go to work to put food on the table. Despite the rationalizations in the article, I suspect this is much more about what's convenient for school staff with little to no consideration for the working parent(s). Just one more example of how public schools are out of touch and failing their constituents. Just one more reason why families continue to seek out other education options and abandon the public school system altogether. It's an artificial situation that's being created by educators themselves and is a social engineering policy that needs to be rethought. | 0 | not toxic |
The most crucial changes have been at the coaching level. Helfrich has now officially put his stamp on the program in terms of coaches. For arguably three of the most important positions he demoted the DC(Pellum) and hired a coach(Hoke) who while known for his defense has never been a DC in college. He promoted Lubick to OC despite his never having held that position previously and brought in a coach(Yost) who had been an OC(Missouri) as the new quarterbacks coach. A curious hiring strategy(I expect Hoke to grab the earliest Power 5 head coaching job available if offered to him) and after Helfrich's total meltdown in the second half of the Alamo Bowl as a coach(If your center / QB are having challenges then move the QB up under center...if you do not practice such a "Plan B" then that is horrible coaching)...nobody has more pressure on him than Helfrich.

It seems that it's okay for a couple to walk into an estalishment and ask for service, so long as they cannot be profiled as persons living in a way contrary to the shopkeeper's personal beliefs. So divorced couples get a pass because they cannot visibly be profiled as such.
This is a pernicious infringement on people's civil liberties. In the sad old days of laws banning miscegenation, many people "passing" for white were not denied their civil rights. Only those who could be profiled from their appearance or their speech or outright admission were subject to such vile constraints as denial of the right to marry, or even to sit at a cafe counter.
Similarly, gay persons, evidently so from their demeanor or outright admission, should no more be denied their civil rights and treatment equal to all other law-abiding citizens , than those who are evidently in a mixed-race relationship.

"If they won't say who they are then how can the news media quote them and how do you know what they really said."
Are you new to politics? There are a lot of unwritten rules to reporting politics. For example, journalists know who they are talking to and could, if they chose to end their career, burn them and print their name when "off the record." But that would also affect the trust of other sources to provide information off the record, ie. one of the fundamental purposes of having freedom of the press and protection of sources requires a pretty high hurdle in the courts or to put it another way it is "in the public interest" to protect sources.

You rely upon reports from "a senior official" based upon the credibility of the news source which has to be earned. | 0 | not toxic |

I am not a Trump supporter and I think he is a catastrophe for the country and the world, not only based on many of his policies but the fact that the opposition, be it Democrats, enemies and anti-Americans for valid and bogus reasons are not going to let him govern. They have made him a pariah no matter what he does.
I can't believe that this hysteria over controlling America's borders is genuine concern. The person in your parliament who called Trump a fascist or some similar incident.... What does he think he's referring to? Why didn't someone say "How so?". How would he answer? I don't think I have read a post or an article that condemns the U.S. for this that actually articulates what it is that's so upsetting. These frantic people are losing support in the U.S. now. They are in the minority now by a few polling points. People realize it's not rational. | 0 | not toxic |

However, the metro area sucks a lot of tax money in from rural areas, too. "General Fund Accounting" hides a lot of bodies. | 0 | not toxic |
I actually find the explanation less intelligible than the word itself. | 0 | not toxic |
