Many people will try to sway the opinions of others by telling a story in a way that minimizes one's own responsibility. The author (not a reporter as this is dripping with bias), wants the reader to believe that she could not be both telling the truth AND spinning her role to minimize it. That doesn't mean that what she has said about the events that took place is false. To the author - it you don't believe it go do real journalism and prove that her representation is somehow false. Nothing said by Brazile is either hard to believe or out of character for the people involved. So what exactly is false about the Donna Brazile story? | 0 | not toxic |

Ridiculous victim culture rhetoric is all this article is. And how does it help?
The "root cause" of overdose is far too many extremely powerful drugs on the street illegally, (federal jurisdiction)
The root cause of addiction is genetic, yes more common in some cultural communities (luck of the draw), and physicians getting people hooked on opiates courtesy of Big Pharma legally, (provincial jurisdiction).
Ultimately, if addiction runs in the family, stay away from alcohol, narcotic drugs and even cigarettes because it won't end well. And the federal and governments need to massively crack down on illegal street drugs and legal opiate prescriptions.

I don't necessarily have a problem with this editorial, however unsubstantiated some of the claims are. It shines the light on how far askew our politicians have come (most of them). They no longer serve the people who vote for them and will do most anything to get elected. I think, however, we need to let the Mueller investigation run its full course and we can perhaps look back at this from an historical perspective. Maybe we will be able to know the truth and form a better opinion.
Just because the Clinton's may have done some nefarious things and were almost ensnared by Putin's spies (allegedly) does not absolve the sitting president from his and his administration's alleged culpability.

I worry that people will get the wrong impression about Canadian universities from columns like this. Certainly there are some persons (a few students as in every generation) with an unearned sense of moral superiority who want to impose extreme views on others. But readers should be careful about overgeneralizing.
It's a bit like making big claims about soccer after reading a few stories about hooligans. The hooligans haven't really taken over, though they might be more common in some neighborhoods than others. I've attended many meetings of Arts and Humanities faculty and I often come away impressed by the level of thoughtful debate, so unlike the slogans, one-sided exaggeration and abuse in many Globe comments. | 0 | not toxic |
I think what these typical liberals (Butts) are naïve about is that they are over compensating for a 'cushy' job given to one of their friends, while many others more deserving of money from the govt. are getting squeezed.

I agree completely, pandora. If the Church would return to the ancient latin mass and restore the vestments and rituals that are central to true christianity, people would flock to the churches, the seminaries would overflow with new recruits, and these buildings would be needed. I cannot cont the number of times I have heard people say they wish they could find a church firmly planted in the middle ages. | 0 | not toxic |
"Robert McElroy, the bishop of San Diego, said we need to be disrupters of unjust policies. He raised his powerful voice to say that we should be disrupters of "those who would seek to send troops into our streets to deport the undocumented, to rip mothers and fathers from their families.""
Yes, and it was a very irresponsible thing for Bishop McElroy to say.
First of all, the bishop claimed Trump described himself as a "disrupter," which was completely untrue. I would be first to condemn any political candidate who said it was his mission to "disrupt" the civil order.
Worse, by calling on people to "disrupt" (which must mean disrupt the actions and property of other citizens), the bishop is apparently directing people to acts of civil disobedience, and perhaps riot and violence. | 0 | not toxic |

So when our politicians (to keep it local) say words like "the homeless problem" and then pass legislation that "was issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular" segment of society, that's different? .." in violation of the First Amendment’s establishment clause." Doesn't our nation's Constitution only have jurisdictional affect only w/ its citizens? I guess something changed along the way because thats what I was taught at Kamehameha.
“I would expect his philosophy as a judge to be very similar to his philosophy as a lawyer — which was to make decisions based on the law as he saw it and not to let his views and decisions be colored by external influences or biases,” Unfortunately, he did let his views be colored. It is evident in this next quote: "...in spite of its stated, religiously neutral purpose.”
He wasn't elected to craft legislation. He wasn't elected to enforce the laws resulting from legislation. He wasn't even elected. His job as a judge is to interpret the law. | 0 | not toxic |

Unions represent the employees as a group vis a vis the employer....that's what unions are all about. It's called "collective bargaining." Union contracts are "closed shop", meaning you are either a member or you pay "fair share" to the Union to pay for the negotiations which obtain the conditions under which you work. The conditions agreed upon during "collective bargaining" are hardly arbitrary. The Union is run by the workers and the negotiating team is selected by the workers through the union. Unions have legal status as the "contracting" agent for the workers.
Explain to me why someone should be able to get a job at a "union" business, obtain the salary and benefits the Union status has achieved through negotiations and NOT contribute their "fair share" to that process. That's "freeloading."
BTW: Unions have long been in the forefront in the battle to attain equal pay for women. Unions have achieved and protected that "equal pay for equal work" for men and women. | 0 | not toxic |

Public housing is typically a sink hole for taxpayer money - costly to build and poorly maintained. As well, large public housing projects are often crime ridden because the landlord (i.e. government) is unwilling or unable to evict the criminals. We should instead try rent subsidies so that the homeless can afford to rent from private sector landlords who maintain their properties to a much higher standard than governments do. An added bonus to the rent subsidy approach is that recipients have a much wider choice of where they live and don't have to be confined to public housing ghettos. | 0 | not toxic |

Saltie: Despite the War many others things have changed as well.Today the talent concentration, the shift in game conditioning, equipment evolution, travel, better coaching and management systems can be argued make today's game easier for the players to transition in and achieve higher levels of performance. Players back then had to battle more regularly and under greater obstacles simply to keep their jobs each year and produce results. For example, if you had a 20 goal season your were considered a Star in the league, they also only had a 50 game schedule and shorter playoffs. | 0 | not toxic |
I don't have a fundamental problem with the purchase of the LIO in Anchorage, with one caveat.
I'm no doomsdayer, but I think it's a fair statement that Alaska's economy is contracting, and we are probably heading towards a recession. In terms of commercial real estate, what's worth 32.5 million today, may only be worth 20 or 25 million in a few years when we're knee deep in our economic woes.
Maybe it would be a better deal to continue leasing the building year to year and finally purchase it when the commercial real estate market hits rock bottom. Buying it right now equates to little more than a golden parachute for the developer. | 0 | not toxic |
You don't really advance your case well by relying on immature name-calling in every comment regarding our PM, whether you like him as leader or not. Any post that includes a bunch of name-calling is instantly less credible to any educated or thoughtful reader.
Regardless of who is PM, they need to rely on others' expertise to run a competent and trustworthy government. The problem with Harper was that he trusted no one else in his cabinet and thought himself smarter and better than everyone else in the room, like an understated Trump. Still a dreadful egotist, just a quieter one.
We don't know yet whether Raitt will work well with others. She does seem very power-hungry. Her decision to run is obviously up to her, but it does seem surprising that, when her spouse likely has only a few pretty good years left, and her kids may need her in a tough time, she is choosing to run for a leadership position, that will leave very little time for caregiving and privacy. | 0 | not toxic |

Why do people rightfully fear that their bikes will be stolen in Eugene? It is because of the behavior of many of our imported homeless people. Adding more amenities (there are already numerous free meals daily, free laundry service, free clothes and privatization of our prime parkland) will just bring us more imported homeless people to be trapped here. While I agree that Eugene is not ripe for a bike share, and that Reed Dunbar couldn't manage an escape from a paper bag with an instruction manual, we certainly don't need to attract an even larger homeless problem here.
Now, if you want to talk about drug treatment, job training, entry level jobs and enhanced jail facilities for those who just want to get drunk and drugged in our parks and on our bike paths, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, our friends of homelessness all seem to want to just add more shanties to the Whiteaker area, an area where 20% of the people are homeless because of the already insane level of amenities. | 0 | not toxic |

quite a few years ago, now, i found an abandoned "healy clean coal" 3 season jacket left at one of our local reuse platforms (which we here in Fairbanks find quite handy and somewhat addictive. That treasured "find" was when the coal plant was shuttered and long before GVEA was silly enough to buy it. Guessing some blue worker employee who helped to build the plant tossed it.

As many have stated repeatedly, the best way to reduce the number of abortions is to make birth control more available. The insistence of the Catholic Church that contraception is wrong is driving up the number of abortions. So, we can say that the hierarchy is directly complicit in abortions -- it is causing an increase by its obstinate stand on contraception. | 0 | not toxic |

All analogies limp, and some more badly than others.
People imprisoned, isolated, etc. took consolation in a spiritual communion that they found nourishing. Who's to measure the difference?
How can it be quantified? John 4:24 speaks of worshipping in spirit & truth rather than a place (Jerusalem or Mt. Gerazim). One of the most egregious and damnable acts of the RCC was to slap a mortal sin fine on missing mass! This is still on the books. And the numbers of supposed theologians who did not denounce this are are more than legion. The rationalization behind this is beyond comprehension!
Laying guilt on innocent people. From my experience, after confessing supposed sexual sins, missing mass was up there. Even when people had a good reason they felt guilty, and better in confessing it, just in case ... hellfire, etc!
