The followers of radical Islam (ISIS, et al) believe that they will reap eternal rewards by committing horrific acts against the infidels. They concentrate on that "ultimate reward" rather than recognizing the "earthly" harm they are doing to others. They believe that , as you put it, "the good can and often does make up for the bad. " Over centuries, Christian zealots have taken an all-too-similar approach as they "coverted" the heathen. "Come to Jesus, or die." Religious zealotry, IMO, has led to truly evil acts far too often.
I don't care what you believe....that's your business. However, if a religious person justifies either an evil act or the acceptance of tragedy as the "wish" of god, you lose me. Mr. Trump claims to be a "Christian"...I ask "Can a true Christian be as self-centered and uncaring as Donald Trump?" wow, I certainly hope not. I try to live by the Golden Rule..."do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ...secular humanism works.. Gary Crum | 0 | not toxic |
I look forward to reading the entire interview. I've always admired Martin Scorsese for his ability to tell a story. Even his most violent films have a strong morality about them. He always shows the consequences of personal choice in a compelling way.
I would take exception, though, to Scorsese's suggestion that he didn't have a true vocation. He most certainly did. It was to be a filmmaker. | 0 | not toxic |

The fans are not stupid. Until all of the NFL follows their own rules and gives this nation and its flag the honors it deserves, flan attendance, and thus NFL profits will continue to drop. If you want to have a real impact show some respect for the nation and God that have given you the freedoms that you do not apparently appreciate. But for an act of God any or all of you could have been born into a terroristic third world nation where if you even blinked incorrectly you life would be forfeit. I am not saying this nation is perfect but what you are doing is deceive and done more for money than anything else. Fans are not stupid and you shall be paying the ultimate price for your own stupid actions. Leave politics to our elected politicians and play ball.

Yes I do know it, I was being smug. This has to do with practicing religion, which I hope you will do. My religion requires me to love my neighbor, not rally against them and shun them from my house. I have my own sin's to worry about thank you very much. I just don't like seeing my religion (Christianity) used to publicly humiliate other human beings regardless whether I perceive their lives as sinful. We are called to look inward at the planks in our own eyes and avoid pointing out the specks of dust in others. Seeking to make the lives of others miserable is an even greater sin. Jesus spent a LOT of time teaching us that lesson. He spent very little time talking about sex. Let's put it in perspective. | 0 | not toxic |

Dividends help with the high cost of kids. No one thinks another kid will make them more wealthy through dividends. It just doesn't calculate. I have kids & it only helps. Fact of the matter is our budgets are partially structured around the dividends. It was ripped away from us on short notice. This caused many of us to come short on bills, food, fuel. Everyone is entitled to an equal share, if you don't need it a donation option is on the application. We want it left alone. If it goes away in 20 years our kids will be raised & they will raise their kids under a new form of budgeting & they will have time to prepare. We need our stolen share from 2016.

I think its funny you posted a serious reply to my obvious tongue-in-cheek list of "Conservative solutions". You suggest im "under the impression" of something when im not.

A perfect example of the problem with international hockey. Because there is essentially no parity, most of the tournament is a waste of time. If they want to have real competition, then they should force teams to qualify and only allow the top 8, or even top 6 would be better. Out of that they can round robin down to a top 4 and have the semis and finals.
Then there might be the potential for worthwhile hockey to watch. | 0 | not toxic |

Some proof that there is no such thing as pay-to-play in the party of the wealthy ruling class, would be if Hillary and Bill were to keep being paid over 200k per speech by the likes of Goldman Sachs and UBS now that their political power/influence has be diminished. If the market value of a Clinton's speech plummets now, then the pay-to-play conjecture can be reduced to a fact. The same goes with the pay-to-play foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Elisa was and is still such an inspiring person. Without her bright light in this world so many more children would never even stand a chance with the sanfilippo diagnosis. Having been blessed to get to know the Linton family and watch Elisa grow up and inspire SO MANY people has been an honour for me. Every March/April , for over a decade, I have been humbled to be a part of the annual Sanfilippo Children's Research Foundation Gala and every year that we hosted one it got bigger and better and we raised more and more money for research. This year was especially hard since there was no gala, and there was no Elisa. I know she is still here, shining on all of us whose lives she touched and I am sure that her family feels her warmth in the darkest days. Elisa and her family are truly the most wonderful, caring, giving, and dedicated people I have ever been blessed to meet and my life would not be what it is now without their inspiration and love.

There's no question that this year's event was corrupted by Trump's boorishness. The question is, can it be dialed back in the future or is the genie permanently out of the bottle? I hope the dinner can be returned to what it used to be. Yes, the white-tie, fat-cat part of it is a little gross, but the bigger picture for me is that the event served as an important release valve for the body politic.
Historically, the Al Smith dinner came at a critical moment in the campaign. It was an evening for setting aside inflammatory political rhetoric and letting the candidates engage in good-natured ribbing, perhaps even a bit of self-deprecating humor. It was a reminder that, despite their political differences, both sides were, first and foremost, devoted to the good of the Republic.
That's a goal worth preserving, regardless of all the peripheral nonsense. I hope it can be recaptured. If not, that's just one more sad part of Donald Trump's political legacy. | 0 | not toxic |

Obamacare is the convenient whipping boy for everything that's wrong with the American health care system. Before Obamacare, the price of healthcare was skyrocketing. Its passage slowed the increase. Has Obamacare forced the drug manufactures to raise prices by enormous amounts? No. Has Obamacare forced employers to push ever more cost to employees? No. These things happened because our health care system, largely still in the hands of private companies, is totally broken. Not every insurer has pulled out of the exchanges. There are success stories where insurers have strong networks and generally better understand providing healthcare for the sick as well as the healthy. The private insurers that pulled out had for years been cherry-picking members by denying anyone that has any health problems. They had never developed expertise that would even to allow them to correctly price their own Obamacare plans. The Medicare story is entirely different - now with record low cost growth. | 0 | not toxic |

Maybe; however, the only "swing" he needed was those notices of layoff to State Employees. Article 2, Section 17 of the State Constitution sets the time limits for the Governor to sign a bill or allow it to become law. The Article speaks of 15 to 20 days depending on circumstances. In any event the clock is ticking now since the appropriation law passed recently. Apparently the Governor believes that he can somehow line item veto all the money for wages except for that next 30 days before the notices must be sent. Political backlash notwithstanding, good luck with the logistics of that tactic just in the timing and having then to recall the legislature to appropriate the money back that he vetoed. So then he hires an outsider for that ungodly amount of money while wanting all Alaskans to accept a 50% cut in these recently large dividend amounts. Finally, he tips his hand by even talking about not wanting all his legislation this session. The Governor may have no "swing" left. | 0 | not toxic |

How can we as Americans ever hope to protect our cherished rights if we don’t even know what they are?
Rather than keeping an eye on those in power and making sure that they’re protecting our Constitution, we’re blind to what’s happening in the halls of whatever that branch is that makes laws. One of the consequences of our hyper-political mindset is that those who do know what’s in our Constitution often take advantage of the masses by proposing ideas that are clearly in violation of that same document." | 0 | not toxic |

Historians piece together what they can, and what they have found is that transgender people have existed for thousands of years, however they can. But if the word "transgender" and treatments for trans people won't exist for 1000 years, and there is no paper, how do you get a suicide note to confirm the reason someone committed suicide? You can't.
There is an assumption that because we can recognize medical conditions / differences better, they are somehow more prevalent. They aren't though -- they are just better recognized. Many transgender people know they are different but needed the Internet to learn what they could do about it, as there is a huge stigma against them.

Columnist Valpy has written a thoughtful, persuasive piece about the increasing disconnect between political insiders and ordinary Canadians.
PM Trudeau may not be Stephen Hawkins on steroids but even he can read the polls and election results and discern he is swimming upstream in policy responses versus what the folks who actually pay the bulk of the bills actually want.
But while the PM is awake to current opinion and trends, much like his father he believes he can drag the people kicking and screaming toward his vision of Utopia, a vision that makes him uniquely Yesterday's Man in terms of what first world citizens want in terms of economic growth, job creation, trade, taxes, public finances, immigrants who will assimilate and contribute, security and national identity.
I am reminded of Walter Stewart`s Trudeau 1.0 bio "Shrug". The chapter on "participatory democracy" was titled "I'll Hold The Bullhorn and You'll Listen".

You might want to learn more about the wilderness act and why it came to be. Of course, Mtn biking was not a form of recreation then, but even if it had been, it would not be consistent with wilderness. You might want to learn more about silviculture too. Selective thinning has failed to work time and again over the last 100+ years because it is not a panacea for all types of forest. Designating more wilderness is not always the answer either, and, as you note, it restricts existing uses like some forms of recreation.
