I have had various types of weapons and firearms my whole life. All of the weapons and firearms in these pictures are deadly and the one to me that is the scariest, is the CROSSBOW, aka, Silent Death. The one in the picture is a extremely high dollar unit and probably has the most power available, completely capable of taking down a elk, deer, bear, and would go right thru a human, elk, deer, bear depending on what arrowhead is used. A lot of wildlife poachers are using the crossbow because of silent death. I would like to see the authorities BAN the crossbow along with the Bumpski stock................ | 0 | not toxic |

But she did acknowledge that serious wrongs & abuses were committed, especially by today's values. She never did say "get over it", but expressed that she wanted them to heal and be "victors" rather than "victims". Nor did she explicitly dismiss victims or say the end justified the means. You can disagree with her appointment, judgement, messaging and intelligence if you wish. You can accuse her of being unclear, off topic, or callous. But a specific controversial and negative narrative has been imposed on her words and inferred by critics and the media. That narrative is distinct from her actual words, it is only supported by cherry-picking some of her words and projecting a specific intent on them. Meanwhile, that prevailing narrative can be directly contradicted by many of her other words, but the more benign narrative doesn't agitate activists or sell newspapers. Does she perhaps have things to answer for - yes? But a "question" is not a "conclusion" - distinctions matter. | 0 | not toxic |

The funny part in all this is the contention that Trump would cause all kind of disastrous meltdowns. Barry at his best is a walking disaster and even he couldn't pull that off. 8 years of Barry may have set this country back a ways, maybe to far to salvage, time will tell. The last time I looked, there were checks and balances in the system and try as hard as he could, Barry lost most battles that made it to the courts. Trump wouldnt stoop to the level of the Reid's, Polutions, and Obama's of this country. Those folks are desperate and scared $hitless that the game is over. | 0 | not toxic |

i spent an hour of sheer terror driving HWY 58 home one very rainy, blowing sheets of rain ,night. couldn't see ahead as the rain was slanted right at the front to the car. i needed to see the fog lines and often couldn't- they are worn away or covered with slick pea gravel left over from the snow. everything is dark - I could not see well enough to see turn outs and if I tried to slow down, the car or truck behind me would barrel right up to my bumper. a nightmare - I had to fight off a panic attack knowing I would die if it happened and when I pulled off onto 30th, pulled over, my cheeks were wet with tears. I wasn't crying tho - just my eyes were. It was by the grace of god my car made it down to Eugene - I will not drive HWY 58 after dark. too many bad spots and lots more traffic. these old roads were not built for the traffic that are on them. trucks probably weigh 3 times more, big SUVs and PUs, faster speeds - tons of traffic. bad mix. | 0 | not toxic |

Keolu, if you can get at the raw data, it may help your debate. I worked on correcting a CDC study's conclusions which were misleading, biased towards their desired results. FABLS method indicated several functions were essentially straight lines (masking other terms) and should be dropped from their final numeric conclusions. It had to do with controlling secondary infections obtained in hospitals. Of course as a grad student my findings were not looked on favorably, so no corrections were published by CDC. Even though my resulting formula got over 99% coefficient of determination. So I'm always skeptical about fuzzy math from people, especially in government. | 0 | not toxic |

Well when the city relies on two major sources of income, property taxes and TAT to pay bills and provide services for it's residents then yes, the City will be impacted. The bill states that $13 million of Honolulu's share of TAT will go to pay for rail. That means the city has $13 million LESS in revenue to pay for city services which will then need to be made up in other areas such as raising taxes or cutting services. | 0 | not toxic |

Some of the Trump's hopes for an updated NAFTA should be non-starters:
1) Elimination of the dispute resolution mechanism. Rather than elimination, this needs to be strengthened and the timeline to decisions shortened because US corporations can use duties and tariffs as an economic weapon to weaken their rivals, even when facing fair and open competition. The softwood dispute is a perfect example.
2) Currency manipulation. If it becomes part of a new NAFTA, US corporations could use this, in combination with the loss of a dispute resolution mechanism, as another weapon to defeat rivals rather than a means to seek a level playing field.
3) 'Buy American', but American firms get access to municipal, provincial and federal procurements. Possibly something to be bartered away during negotiations. But Trump might actually think this is a realistic and 'fair' demand in exchange for access to the US market.

Since i think you are pulling numbers from NANA's website ( http://nana.com/regional/resources/red-dog-mine/red-dog-faq/ ) (Thanks Night Train) Then the answer you are looking for is literally in the first paragraph, "Since mining began, NANA has retained approximately $480 million in the $1.3 billion it has received net proceeds from the mine. NANA has distributed approximately $820 million to other regions and at-large shareholder via the 7 (i) sharing provisions of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Of the $480 million NANA has retained, the Corporation has distributed approximately $221 million in dividends to shareholders primarily from the net proceeds from Red Dog Mine."
$480M + $820M = $1.3B <----- Seems pretty straightforward. | 0 | not toxic |
I could not agree with you more. The media (and universities/colleges too) is supposed to be the safeguard of free speech. Their main function is to shepherd citizens through those "grey zones", presenting both sides of an idea, in order to allow citizens to formulate an educated and balanced opinion. If the media abandons this function, the citizens will have no use for the media and will abandon it entirely. And this is dangerous because these citizens will then stick to their own biased views, without exposure to other viewpoints, and retreat into their own isolated echo chambers. The end result is deeply entrenched polarization within the society. This is what's happening now. | 0 | not toxic |

Interesting comment in return. You seem to be saying that the government felt they could win, but decided to bring a Category 5 sh!t-storm down on themselves by compensating Khadr anyway.
If people feel that the government shouldn't have compensated Khadr they're entitled to that opinion. But as you've surely noticed, many people are saying Khadr shouldn't be compensated because he was a terrorist; his father was a terrorist; his whole family are terrorists; we didn't torture him; the Charter is wrong and should be abolished, etc, etc. In cases like that, the opinion is either ill-informed, ignorant and/or anti-Charter. And there's nothing wrong with saying so.
As for those who claim the government should've decided against settling as a judgment call, I have yet to hear of a compelling reason. And the hindsighters would be equally critical if the government spent millions going to court, only to pay double the amount in the end. | 0 | not toxic |

Bicycle registration fees could just reflect the same portion of the cost that bus or train tickets represent. And I think that bike lanes cost more than you think. Some lanes take up whole lanes of traffic, removing fuel tax revenue from those lanes. Others are dedicated lanes that are built in addition to the regular road.
But that is beside the point. You said that bikes lanes should be looked at as part of the overall picture. I agree completely. In that case, you can't single them out for special consideration. Otherwise, using your logic, since I have multiple cars, I should be getting my light rail tickets for free since I am already paying taxes with my cars. Trust me, I will gladly accept that $9 per day in savings on train tickets. | 0 | not toxic |

If the team is to make the playoffs, they are going to need the starters to go 6-7 innings and give up no more than 2 runs for the majority of its games.

There is no doubt that the ACA needs improvement -- especially in cost containment and specifically in control of drug prices. The Republicans declined to work with the Democrats to do those things.
But my purpose here was only to comment on the strategy you're recommending to them now: you recommend that they break very promise they've made since 2010, and that they acknowledge that they've been lying about health care every time they speak about it. I think it's a good plan -- because they never had any intention of keeping the promises, still less a plan for keeping them. | 0 | not toxic |

Actually I'm a centerist, more Libertarian than D or R. I also try to be a realist. As an engineer, my career was shaped by hard facts, not feelings. Truth is that we have limited resources. Oh, we're not going to run out of them next week, probably not in the next century. But as our population increases, so does the rate that we consume resources, the rate that we foul our nest. One of the reasons for our exponential population growth is that we strive to eliminate threats to our existence, destroying predators, curing disease, and trying to control natural disasters. If we stand back and let nature take its course, people will die. As the weak & unfit die off, our race becomes stronger, better able to cope with the realities of life. It's Nature's way.
BTW: The ACA had little to do with healthcare. It mandated no changes in the trajectory of costs or quality. The ACA was about INSURANCE and taxes. And so were both of the GOP fix-it plans. | 0 | not toxic |
