702,014 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | So do most real journalists like Seymour Hersch and Robert Parry. Unfortunately, journalism in 2016 is mostly just fake news. Real investigative journalists are confined to "alternative" media, which the mainstream media, primary sources of fake news, call "fake news."
Imagine that, a real investigative journalist like Robert Parry, who broke the Iran-Contra affair, branded by the Washington Post as "fake news." You can't make this stuff up lol! They must be projecting.
What's really happening is that mainstream publications are dying, being primarily staffed by fresh journalism graduates who don't really know what they're doing. The real journalists are gravitating toward alternative media where they are still free to report the truth without corporate censorship. The allure of political influence is too great for the fake journalists to resist, so they no longer care about reporting the truth. That's why they produce fake news, and accuse everyone else of doing the same. | 4 | http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/bday/0425.html

At this point the Trump administration has no stated policies, so all we have to go on are the promises of Trump, who has repeatedly called on the use of "protective" tariffs, a border wall, expulsions and sanctions. We also have the past statements of policy made by his cabinet picks.
This time I did not comment except peripherally on Trump's low character, which is loathsome in itself; I commented on the promises Trump made in order to get himself elected. If those were lies, let's talk about that in relation to policy; if Trump meant what he said, then that is his policy.

Wikileaks is obviously the future of information and learning more about the government, particularly when it comes to corruption and foreign policy.
Alternative media such as The Intercept and consortiumnews, staffed by real journalists, not pretend journalists with fake credentials, are another good source of information. What's becoming clear at this point is mainstream publications are simply incapable of accurately reporting the news in an objective and unbiased manner. The allure of political influence is simply too great for them to resist. They won't be able to recover their credibility in the long term, and they have an obsolete model anyway as the baby boomers die off and the millennials take our rightful place as the rulers of this planet. | 4 | Be careful about wishing for anarchy, even if that means information anarchy ...

Like this task force the LeDain Commission also noted that international law prevented legalization of possession of marijuana for recreational uses. The Le Dain Commission stated that the expression "possession" in article 36 of the Single Convention, 1961 had to include possession for personal use and must be criminalized.
‘It has generally been assumed that "possession" in article 36 includes possession for use as well as possession for the purpose of trafficking. This is a reasonable inference from the terms of article 4, which obliges the parties "to limit exclusively to medical and scientific purposes the production, manufacture, export, import, distribution of, trade in, use and possession of drugs." ... The prevailing view, however, is that the word "possession" in article 36 includes simple possession for use.’
The LeDain Commission then went onto say if we leave aside international law this is our recommendation - much like the current task force. | 4 | What, 50 years since the LeDain Commission?

The Centcom contract stipulates that each fake online persona must have a convincing background, history and supporting details, and that up to 50 US-based controllers should be able to operate false identities from their workstations "without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries."

Renting in Toronto or Vancouver (where a lot of the jobs are) if you are under the age of 30 and you are not able to live in your parents' home for free is quite intelligent. In fact, there are a number scenarios where renting is not 'putting money into the toilet' or what-have-you.
But I think you know that. I think there are certain people who have done well for themselves and are bored now, and so we see them on these boards almost every day gloating about how 20 or 30 or 40 years ago they bought a house, and now they're retired, and they're really smart people. | 4 | I wouldn't want to be a renter | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [20225558, 45494674, 45541073, 45597947, 45200444] |

Also, I'll give you a more palatable example of the intention question for moral action. White lies. They are often glossed over as morally acceptable because the intention is to save someone's feelings and make them happy. Doesn't change the reality of me looking stupid in a shirt with a stain on it after I ask my wife if it looks OK and she says "Yes, dear" just because she doesn't want to hurt me. Same exact logic in contraception and nuclear war.
Finally, you obviously have a much different outlook on happiness, human nature, the body, and sex. Fine. Just don't mistake it for Catholicism. It's in complete discontinuity with the entirety of Catholic history and the Scriptures. | 10 | LOL. I am also from the millenial generation but a few years older than you and I would never spend my life as an unpaid nanny and housekeeper. I don't find housework fulfilling. And I am not a fan of those women who do as they make it more difficult for those of us who wish to have fulfilling careers and contribute to society to do so.
And please stop with the NFP propaganda. The Pill is what is prescribed for women with menstral issues rather than the goofy fad pseudo-science that the NFP set pushes. Something that annoys me the most is when I hear NFP zealots providing bad advice to and harassing women with lady issues on Catholic forums about NaPro and providing them with bad information when these women's quality of life could be easily fixed through the Pill.

We see US legal system parallel this - for example, murder is always criminal and unlawful. Yet, legal system has various degrees when life is taken i.e. manslaughter; first degree murder; second degree manslaughter; premeditated; etc. Law says - murder is wrong but the perp is judged by context, situation, motivation, etc.
Catholics live in a both/and theology world - it is gray (not black and white). Burke and company reject this *adult* approach to Catholic Anthropology, Morality, and Social Justice. Faith is so much more than a black and white legal system as is the Church. | 10 | Fair question and it indicates that you neither understand basic catholic moral theology or the approach outlined by both Synods/Francis.
The key and most significant catholic anthropology is that there are agreed upon, experienced, and historical facts about human dignity - and conscience is the core. Actions from that conscience is what determines whether that individual is judged morally positive or negative.
At the same time, the Church via scripture, experience, tradition, etc. has a set of beliefs/laws that it has slowly articulated and come to understand.
Thus, catholic tradition has developed an understanding that marriage sacrament is forever. (permanent) But, sacrament of marriage as lived and experienced is not always permanent - marriages in reality can die. In those situations, the moral decision hinges on context, reasons, situation, current living situation, etc. So, in catholic sacramental and moral theology - we believe that the sacrament is permanent .....cont. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45535393, 45571747, 45445022, 45203823, 45351233] |

Not to dismiss the radical examples you cite in another post (as those are very troublesome, indeed), one would be incorrect to dismiss what is happening in the U.S. now and how it may bleed over into Canada.
The people referenced are much close to the ears of those in power than the Islamists from your examples. And that's the scarier point, for me. | 4 | I disagree with those heaping so much praise on the article. It deserves criticism. Even the writing of a 17 year old, which it is, deserves criticism.
The key passage of the article is this: "Recently, I sat in my school library and watched, paralyzed, as a group of white men made a “Heil Hitler” salute toward a leader named Richard Spencer in Washington. They cheered violently as my people were referred to as a “soulless golem” controlling the media."
And that is all we are told about that.
Hello?
Who exactly were those "white men"? Were they fellow 17-year old-students being what 17 year old students often are - insensitive and immature jerks? Were they neo-nazi middle aged janitors wearing blue overalls? Were they Islamist men with beards yelling "Allahu Akbar"? Were they students who knew her and who were goading her because she was there?

One of the advantages of moving to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids is that these will form a large but flexible demand in off-peak hours, and where every 5 to 6 kWh replaces 1 liter of gasoline that would otherwise have been burned. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45506032, 45571747, 45438070, 45630512, 45188628] |

He was a rock they could throw through a window as a warning that they wanted the changes they saw in the world to slow if not stop altogether. As far as DJT's character, the brand of wrench or the name of the particular mineral constituting the the rock didn't matter. | 4 | Of the many Trump voters I've talked to, most if not all have some wildly inaccurate and/or racially or gender biased reason for doing so: One said he was going to raise the minimum wage to $12.50 the moment he was in office, or that he was going to have Hillary Clinton arrested and thrown in jail for murdering children, or because Obama had vowed to leave the country. I've heard several assert that Trump is a devout Christian, that he's a self-made millionaire, that he's a genius who will "fix" everything. I've even heard he's for universal health care. The remainder, and unfortunately the majority, have to do with pejorative racist ideas of getting Obama out of the White House (even though he's leaving anyway). As a "corollary" to these, I've listened, stunned, as young Trump supporters (and not rich ones) have argued that education shouldn't be "free"---that all schools should be private.

722,089 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Most of the 1%, even if they don't realize it, face lower wages and job insecurity as outsourcing and technology continues to progress. They should however contribute to society through taxation levels commensurate with their income and they have many tax shelters to reduce the amount they actually pay.
The real problem exists with the .01% who can significantly reduce their taxable incomes through existing loopholes. Since the entry level for this group is $2.57 million they have sufficient money to influence government which weakens democracy; the tax system should reduce, not increase the wealth gap.
If the aim is to expand the economy perhaps the amount of money in circulation should be increased. This means higher wages and better security for workers. Reducing taxation on high income earners who need only spend a portion of their income or on the corporations who naturally won't re-invest the proceeds where there is reduced demand for their products or services doesn't work. | 4 | The fact that to join the hated "1%" in Canada means achieving an income of around $250k is sobering
-
that is the exalted realm of family doctors , lawyers and engineers -
-
and the fact that this relatively modest income is taxed at over 50% in most provinces is embarrassing
-
in 1982 Canadas 1% paid 13.4% of the national tax burden
by 2010 their share had risen to some 21% ...and under Mr Trudeau Canadas 1% are paying almost a quarter of all taxes raised nation wide

instead of punishing those that successfully completed grad school with punitive taxation -

how about building more wealth by expanding the economy -

It would be amusing if there was a return of the per vote subsidy.

The fact is that after years of hard lessons, I remain biased toward real names.
But in the interest of being open-minded in a new community and widening the funnel for quality feedback (and through an impressive platform like Civil Comments), here's what I'll do: I'll amend my initial concept and accept anonymous submissions and value their merits just as I would those using real names.
