Instead of asking anthropology students for their opinion on the protests, ask students from engineering, medical, business, science etc faculities. You know, the ones that will actually carry the country forward.
As to the protests : entirely obvious. Obviously the maddening lack of progress to a solution must be frustrating. Obviously a bunch of opportunists wanting to make their name as future politicians will find a bunch of kids that do not want to have their knwoledge tested.
One thing for sure : if I started this year late because of riots and faced finishing around XMas due to riots and somebody tries to take my exam answer paper that I worked hard for the wole damned year, they would not simply take it from me! They have their right to protest, other kids have their right to write exams. | 1 | toxic |

I think it is no longer controversial to assert that Trump is a pathological liar in the clinical sense, for the reasons you assert.
I think an important instance is the lie Trump insisted that Donald Jr. tell regarding the now infamous meeting with Russians during the campaign. Jr., Jared and their lawyers had agreed that their best bet was to pull the proverbial band-aid -- that is, to tell the truth quickly and candidly, knowing that it would hurt, but also knowing that if they didn't tell the truth, it would hurt more if/when the truth eventually emerged. This is sound strategy legally and as crisis management. But Trump Sr. was having none of it. He insisted that Jr., Jared and their attorneys lie about the meeting: who attended, what they discussed, etc. Then he sent his own team of liars -- Sanders, Sekulow, et alia out to perpetuate the lies; and of course they all got caught. Yesterday, Sanders, in another pathetic performance, tried to continue spinning the lies. | 0 | not toxic |
It's not any harder to remove a cop than to remove any other public employee and that isn't nearly as hard as it is made out to be. The Troopers have an elaborate contractual administrative investigation process that tripped the State up several times, but that was thirty years ago. The problem with removing a cop is having a management that wants to if the union backed the administration. During Knowles, the union didn't need a grievance procedure; they had the Commissioner of Administration's phone number. DPS resorted to giving reprimands for conduct that should have gotten much stronger discipline because the union couldn't grieve reprimands. The bane of my life in dealing with Trooper cases during Murkowski was when we tried to appropriately discipline somebody, the union would trot out ten reprimands for the same or a worse offense and argue disparate treatment and/or discrimination. I'm sure the same thing is going on now and Moneghan won't be an improvement. | 0 | not toxic |

Enough with the inferiority complex already, UO. No one at the UO is served by dwelling on these things they can never control. The UO doesn't and won't ever have an engineering or medical school (and doesn't need them). It can't compete with universities such as Stanford, Michigan or UCLA in terms of resources because they have a much longer history of world-class research and scholarship and a much larger and wealthier donor base.
The UO should just focus on its mission, as the flagship public university of Oregon. It isn't the flagship state university of California, Washington, Michigan, Ohio, or Florida or any other state. It should focus on Oregon, its residents, its communities. Focus on what it can control, such as sound administrative oversight, effective and efficient fiscal management, robust faculty research and instructional quality, and providing the best support it can to staff and students. Just quit being Chicken Little; it's a pointless waste of everyone's time. | 0 | not toxic |

I am not sure he understands the public in general, after all he lost the popular vote. His speech was a distillation of his campaign I would agree aimed at his supporters, which how those 12-13 year olds I taught used to behave - aimed at those who "followed" them. I am not sure of his honesty, as so much of what he says is demonstrably false; what scares me is that he may believe that they are true. His language is aimed at the reality TV audiences and delivered in the same way so yes it works to get him elected, but will it allow him to govern? | 0 | not toxic |

"Eric Ryan, the group’s campaign manager who also lead the Stop Rail Now campaign eight years ago."
That doesn't sound right at all. I think he was briefly associated with that group but they had a falling out or something. He was never the leader as far as I recall. He doesn't seem to play well with others.
Anyway, forcing the route to end at Middle Street would be ridiculous. He should change the name to "Make Rail a Failure."

What I find bizarre about this opinion piece is that the author is an attorney. An attorney who clearly cares zero for both the spirit and the undeniable letter of the law of the Constitution and the First Amendment.
How is it possible to "love" this country so much, while hating that people actually exercise the rights that are supposed to be what has made America "great". I don't think it is possible. I don't think Mr. Fisher does "love" America. He sure doesn't love the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He doesn't want people to have those rights at all, especially Mr. Kaepernick.
As contradictory, nonsensical, and vacuous as I find Mr. Fisher's opinion, I'm still glad he has the right and the freedom to write it. He, at least, has the freedom to do that without people saying he shouldn't have that freedom. | 0 | not toxic |
Kevin, (continued)
Of course one should go to Confession as soon as possible (immediately) if they are sins of the flesh: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing). People die suddenly, without the opportunity of going to Confession and sometimes people are no longer conscious for some time before dying. We should seek God's mercy in the Sacrament of Confession now, when it is available to us. I have written before that Joe and people in his situation - engulfed in habitual sin (like the organist at my Church) have to choose between Jesus and remaining in their sin. The choice of course is always theirs. God will not force but He is so very happy when we choose to live in His light rather than live in our own darkness. He wants us to want to please Him and not our selfish desires! You have mentioned making a public act of repentance before the Divine Mercy image. (continued | 0 | not toxic |
Myself, I returned to the sacraments when I saw the Catholic faith being attacked at the first Synod...started attending the Extraordinary Form in 2015.
I will never give up the Catholic faith but I do know others who talk about becoming Orthodox with every new Francis scandal. I don't think anyone is coming back because of AL, and AL might be causing some people to leave. Most intended beneficiaries of AL who wanted to receive Communion probably already found themselves a liberal priest who does the wink wink nod nod business, and others will just keep on not recieving because they know that no Pope can make sacrelige OK. | 0 | not toxic |

"Just look at the numbers. Around the world, 65 million people – twice the population of Canada – have been forced to flee their homes. Since 2011, five million have fled to other countries from Syria alone. "
Ok. Where are the other 60M from? The fact of the matter is, is that in most cases few need to actually leave the country they are from. Syria could be the exception. Iraqi's in the ISIS areas could just as easily have gone to Baghdad than tried to get into Europe.

Newsflash! We're in an ice age right now. Your theory is baseless. The Quaternary glaciation is the current ice age. It began 2.58 million years ago to the present.
The often repeated, half-baked argument for “current climate change is natural” is the theory that needs a realistic explanation, not the other way around. If it is "natural," then how can you explain such high CO2 levels produced by humans having no impact whatsoever?
Yes, there's a cycle. However, going back several hundreds of thousands of years, temperature swings of the glacial/interglacial cycles were a shockingly SLOWER order of magnitude than the warming rate we're currently experiencing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png

This article reminds me of how much we USED to enjoy exploring all the sea life in the many tide pools and low-tide beaches of Kachemak Bay. Sadly, in the last 10 or 15 years most of that sea life, and those low-tide invertebrates, have disappeared, most especially the shellfish, due to the population explosion among the sea otters which the Center for Coastal Studies still refuses to acknowledge. Low tide around Chugachik Island last year, for example, only exposed tidal flats that resemble an artillery range, as the formerly abundant clam beds have been eliminated by all the sea otters who have desperately dug them up almost to the last clam, leaving gaping holes in the process.
The wide diversity and abundance of intertidal sea life in Kachemak Bay is, for now anyway, mostly just a memory, and will remain so until something happens, or steps are taken, to reduce the extreme overpopulation of sea otters in those waters. | 0 | not toxic |

Intellectually brilliant, fiercely partisan, politically shrewd, Allan J. was the last of the leading Liberal MPs and ministers from the Diefenbaker-Pearson era of 1957-68.
He was an effective minister in high profile, controversial ministries, a strong and untiring advocate for his native Cape Breton and with Sailor Jack Pickersgill one of two political titans in Atlantic Canada in the Pearson government.
His passing brings back vivid memories of that period when there were many giants instead of mostly pygmies in all three major federal parties and his contribution to this country in particular on the health care and labour files was substantial and enduring.

JamesQQ,
My interest is in history.
I do support the all volunteer armed forces personnel who serve our country in times of war as well as peacetime. I am not pro-War, and I can't stand Rambo movies.
Both my husband and cousin served in Vietnam, my father served in the Army during WWII and was stationed in the Aleutians. Two of my second cousins were POW and survived the Bataan Death March.
My oldest uncle served as a tail gunner on a bomber that flew missions over Germany. He and my dad had never been off the reservation prior to the war. My maternal uncle flew fighter planes in the Pacific and later Korea. His son flew missions over North Vietnam and other countries in Asia during the Vietnam war.
My grandfather's two brothers served in WWI in Europe, fresh off the reservation. My great grandfather led the Indian scouts for the US Army during the Geronimo wars with the Apaches.
My son, at 17, entered the Marine Corps, served 9.5 years, two tours in Iraq.

Do you understand that the books are not about "profanity, sex, violence, abuse, rape, and incest?"
Theses are books that help people view the world in a different way. The Color Purple is an amazing book about a woman who is oppressed in the American South and yes, she is raped. But the book is about more than that - it's about sisterhood and poverty and her relationship with God. The book is an interesting example of a different type of writing - The story is written in letters and as the main character matures and learns the writing becomes better.
The Catcher in the Rye is about holding on to adolescence and I honestly don't remember much about sex, violence, rape, or incest, but it's been a really long time since I've read it.
The Kite Runner is an excellent book for the time we live in. It's themes are not tied to the culture and while there is a horrific rape, I think the importance of this book and it's themes of redemption and family overpower the graphic imagry. | 0 | not toxic |

1) Canada leads G-7 countries with projected 4.6% annual growth, the fastest in 17 years.
2) Canadians are the wealthiest they’ve ever been, according to recent Environics Analytics study. In 2016, average household net worth rose 12.0% over 2015 to $770,635.
3) Canadians increased their savings and investments last year—by 5.6 percent to $95,710 and by 13.2 percent to $182,238, respectively—while tempering their consumer and credit card debt, which grew by 2.6 percent and 3.3 percent., respectively (Environics)
4) Unemployment is lowest since 2008 (StatsCan)
5) Corporate profits in Ontario are up significantly. The province's corporate tax revenue jumped a whopping 16.8 per cent last year, and 19.6 per cent in 2015.
6) Ontario businesses surveyed by the Bank of Canada say sales are up and they're looking to invest in new equipment and hire additional staff. | 0 | not toxic |

What a country.................
