Well that's embarrassing, someone got onto your computer and liked the very same comment that you posted using your username.

These Christians in Canada have done so much damage and continue to do so much damage. And the university is for adults! Let's consider what they do to teenager and children. It is REPRESSION. - According to Sigmund Freud, the father of psychology, sexual repression was the chief psychological problem ailing mankind. ... Sexual repression can be defined as an inability to express one's sexuality. It is often associated with feelings of shame and guilt being attached with expressing sexual impulses. - Most Canadians have been sexually represses due to the Christian government which continues to implement laws and policies that repress young people. The result is when they get older they become riddled with psychological disorders leading to criminal activity, homelessness, perversions and alienation.

Gary, I agree, silliness is too casual a word, yet the U's behavior APPEARS not the act of serious minded people. It has a peculiar childlike quality: ten-year-olds crashing about knocking the lamps over and wondering why there is suddenly no light. That has become more common at universities in general, not just the UO. I suspect that only litigation can pry the lid off this green-and-gold crypt. The UO is no doubt banking on Halls taking no action. Yet how do they jump-start OBF for next year when it is immured in mud? They might Take A Sabbatical to rebalance the entity.

Alan: Yes, you can hope that you're wrong. You can also wait patiently for the Easter Bunny. I fear the U of O administration is so focused on doing the "right" thing that they don't recognize the first step is to determine if it's actually the right thing. This, if the facts reported in the Telegraph (UK) story are accurate, a real example of P.C. run amok. I wouldn't use the term "silliness", however. When ill-conceived actions lead to professional and personal defamation, they go far beyond mere siliness. Again, with the disclaimer that my comments are based on "media information", it seems the decision to terminate Mr. Halls may have been made on hearsay evidence acted upon without even checking with Mr. Mobley, the target of the alleged racial slur. Mr. Hall's abrupt, secretive dismissal taints his professional future...face it, he's now "damaged goods" and has suffered significant personal and professional injury. ..the U of O admin. strikes again.....Gary Crum

The police would still close the streets for hours and hours. Besides, videos aren't dispositive. They can be somewhat deceptive depending on the angle and position of the camera and other factors. And are subject to interpretation. That's why people are opposed to red light cameras. Police officers observations can also be faulty depending on the traffic law. For example, a lot of police officers seem to think if they look up and see you crossing on a red light, you have broken the law, but that is not what the law says. The law says you can't enter an intersection w/ a red light if the light was red when you crossed the stop light or the fictional line caused by the curb intersection unless you couldn't have stopped safely. The same with the new law saying you can't begin to cross a street where the walk signal (if any) has begun to blink red. An officer must see you doing so, not simply in the street, making the law unenforceable unless officers stretch the truth.

Someone ran the red light; was it the moped rider or automobile driver? There is a traffic camera at that interesection. Why isn't ALL Oahu road and freeway cameras recording 24 hours/ day on cheap hard drives and then overwrite older video when the disks are full. There would be no need for police to close streets or freeways for hours and hours to investigate when a clear video of the accident for most cases would determine exactly what happened and who was at fault immediately.

Payouts were a problem in that little of the money went to the victims, but to trial attorneys. I agree that some like minded bishops likely covered up for the few priests who have been found guilty. (many have been cleared, but we still have to pay for the court costs, and the general stench that these false claims cause). We need to weed out these unsettled identities out of the seminary, for sure.

Agreed, but the payouts were not the problem, but the sexuality of the clergy and hierarchy, both in weeding out abusers and offering a useful sexaul morality.

"Eve evidently was a quick learner" As was the snake.

Since Adam and Eve are mythical persons, I suppose their 'language' was also some mythical one. Certainly one that only they understood, since they were the only ones to speak it. Eve evidently was a quick learner!!

You did not say 30-40% profit, that's true. But you did suggest profits were the culprit. When if fact even with these premium increases, their profits are likely to stay in the same basic range they are now (like Cigna's 5.5%). Just like they have after years of large premium increases. The point being, profits aren't the culprit. COSTS are. Your math on the PREMIUM increases is correct. I was never disputing that part. Only the suggestion that it was about profits, when it's actually about costs. I disagree about major changes to what we have now not doing any better at controlling costs, however. I definitely think there are ideas that would better control costs compared to this. Heck, it couldn't be much worst than what we've had for the last decade. Costs have been SOARING. That's why so many insurers have pulled out of Obamacare exchanges - because they can't recover their soaring costs, even with high premium increases.

You are correct about their year-end profit being the total and not merely the 5% increase. My bad. I specifically did not claim the 30%/40% was pure profit. My statement of the cost increase as it applies to an individual's premiums was correct - if you pay $1000 per month now, your premium will increase 30%, for a yearly sum of $3600. Was my math bad? As far as the cost of the actual care is concerned, that's not part of what I've talking about. Yes, the costs for doctors and services increases every year, and that is going to happen with any replacement for Obamacare. People who think their premiums will decrease are only fooling themselves. The pre-existing conditions requirement is an important part of Obamacare, not merely for those who "suddenly become ill," but for those with ongoing health problems. I'm epileptic and require a modest amount of monthly medication to maintain my otherwise healthy life. Prior to Obamacare, I was not able to obtain private healthcare at any price.

Yes, the ability to change your computer without coming into the shop or obtaining permission is creepy. As I said previously, I'm not particularly sold on Tesla. And "free enterprise" is amusing in this context considering the only reason they are still in business is the billions from taxpayer-funded subsidies. It will be interesting to hear what owners have to say about this - preferably via a 3rd party. If they're not all too busy trying to hack their batteries, that is.

If Tesla sells you a car with a specified KwH, and the car can be charged to that KwH and discharges that KwH, how are you harmed? Asking customers to pay a really hefty fee to perform a simple "upgrade" for a capability that already exists may seem shady, but that's free enterprise at work. I'm more concerned about the ability of Tesla to silently "upgrade" their cars' software. Almost all the software on my computer I have set the permissions so that the software has to notify me before the upgrade takes place. Even operating system upgrades warn me and give me an option as to when the upgrade is performed. I certainly would hope that's an option for Tesla owners. Every day, we hear about people's computers -- or large companies' databases -- being hacked. What's to prevent someone hacking into Tesla cars with malware, and suddenly your car can only go 10 MPH while endlessly playing "The March of the Marionettes" on your car's speakers?

Soundrisk you are literally completely wrong. Canada and Taiwan both have single-payer, government administered healthcare and they BOTH have lower costs and higher average life expectancy than the United States according to the UN and WHO. Australia, France, Spain and the UK all have a variation of single-payer, they also all beat the US in life expectancy and cost. In fact, most of western Europe has universal healthcare of some type, and they exceed the United States in life expectancy, have lower infant mortality rates, and rank above the US in overall satisfaction, happiness and desirability.

Single payer has failed in every place attempted. Providers make no money and quality and access is poor at best... The VA, Medicare and Medicaid are all failed systems with massive bloat, minimal provider reimbursements, and tragically poor results... let alone limited access and massive waiting at the VA...

Tesla issued press releases over a year ago when they introduced this model: https://electrek.co/2016/06/09/tesla-60kwh-pricing-option-software-revolution-exclusive-details/ It wasn't a secret, and anyone who bought one of these cars knew exactly what they were getting. You can doubt that all you want, but there was no conspiracy here. There was a decision to offer a cheaper model with the ability to upgrade, and everyone who opted for the cheaper model knew they were buying software limited hardware. Put it another way...sure, they owned the hardware but they didn't own the software. That costs extra.

Except it's not really an upgrade. It's preventing usage of capacity YOU ALREADY OWN. And I kinda doubt most Tesla owners know that they really owned 75 kWh battery but were being disallowed from using the last 15 kWh of it. They can get away with something like this (PR-wise) if few people know about it. But it's a different matter when more people find out. It's like giving you a back seat and 4 doors, but then locking the doors remotely so you can't open them unless you pay them 5 grand or something. On your OWN CAR.

all others tourists were picked up and on they're way home,stop being an apologist for twinkle toes.

It is not the gov't of Canada's duty to provide de facto travel insurance to its citizens. I lived and worked in Africa and Asia for a number of years, and the only thing Canadian consular services do is ensure that its citizens are treated 'fairly' by local authorities. And by fairly, they mean 'as well as local citizens', often a dubious concept. Canadians seem to think they are due more because Americans often provide more for their citizens due to their wider presence and greater 'weight'. When the poop hit the fan, like when Ethiopia's Mengistu gov't fell, and I couldn't get out because I didn't have an exit visa, I couldn't even get a face-to-face with an actual Canadian at our embassy. American diplomatic services often treated Canadian citizens as their own, or at least, at the top of the list after US citizens. One of their mid-level, embassy staff got me a visa, in a matter of hours, with one phone call.

Two years before getting the money for AAC, the legislature gave the funds to UAA to build an arena that would have hosted all the sports teams in two venues ... a dedicated ice sheet. Do you have a clue about the ongoing expenses of a multi-purpose arena where you have to constantly change from hockey to basketball/volleyball to a concert and then back to hockey? Not to mention the absolute mess the ice is in arenas that do so? Anyway, Sarah Palin line-item-vetoed the original proposal to build a facility to house all sports. Blame that ugly fucking shrieking harpee and not the UAA admins (though they are wimps).

Well that much is true as far as the NCAA. This is what I was told by people who asked what you're asking now. UAA didn't want to pay whatever the extra cost would've been to include ice making capabilities for the AAC and instead would regroup, come back to the legislature after the AAC was up and running and ask for another 100 mil more or less to build another arena on some state owned land (where that would've been is anyone's guess). It comes off as arrogant that UAA thought it could get funds to build a second arena, even if the economy didn't go belly up. They should've splurged in the short term and if they had, UAA would be playing hockey on campus, and who knows, the Aces might've had a new home. We'll never know though.

I messed up again. I should have stated that, "A HIGH Percentage of the jobs there are minimum wage jobs". OK, I think we have it whittled down now........... I agree with you about several of the jobs there. OK, 1 Brewmaster, several lab techs???, sales people???? So, how many people work at Ninkasi????????????????????????????????????? And how many are FAMILY WAGE Positions? I did your recommended question mark addition. My original point was that a High Percentage of the jobs in the WHIT area are MINIMUM WAGE jobs, not FAMILY WAGE jobs. Please correct me if I am wrong as I will respectfully Stand Down.................

Well I'm sure it depends on the job position. The brewmaster probably makes bank, the lab techs and sales team probably a solid income, and the ones cleaning the tanks and floors probably a few dollars above minimum.

I'm fluent in Latin, and I completely agree with you.

I grew up with the Latin mass, served on the altar using Latin (that I read off the ubiquitous laminated cards), and went on to study Latin for five years. I still retain some ability to read Classical Latin. But if God were to speak directly to me, I expect he would choose to do so in the language I understand best. It would be pretty silly for God to address me in Latin if I were intended to understand the message, and I don't imagine "silly" is one of God's attributes. How absurd to try to constrain God to speak to us through the liturgy using a language vanishingly few of us have any knowledge of, let alone fluency in.

what is your issue with deferments? Lots of people had them when the draft was in force. Why didn't Obama go serve? He could have enlisted and served but refused to do so. Why did you have no issue with Clinton and his deferments and not serving? I was eligible for the draft and in the first lottery in 1970, went for physical and was medically ineligible from a high school knee operation and was 4F. You probably are too young to understand what is was like when the draft was in play. Pretty easy for people who never lived through Viet Nam to now criticize what others did 50 years ago

My own service? I'm mighty glad you asked. Four years active duty, USN. Haze gray and underway. Now it's your turn. How many deferments did Obama have? And how many years did you serve in our military?

Horgan is Premier of BC and it's up to Notley, not him to handle Alberta's problems. We don't have much in common. And Uber....really? Taxi regulation was brought in to prevent Jitney drivers from fighting or shooting at each other over fares and to avoid excessive, opportunistic charges at peak times. Taxi apps bring all that back - so we get to relearn history!

Horgan inherits the strongest economy in the country including a balance sheet and unemployment rate envied by every province and now Horgan is going to spend it like a drunken sailor on shore-leave. Bridge tolls are going to make the Port Mann more crowded in addition to costing $132 million/year - oh well, "they" will pay for it. Horgan's already cancelled the Massey bridge highlighting the NDP's penchant for supporting short-sighted NIMBY-ism. What about Uber? How do you think Horgan secured the taxi vote in Surrey? Uber is now indefinitely postponed thanks to Horgan's secret taxi handshake. Pipelines? Horgan is siding with US-funded career activists instead of working families in Alberta - the NDP is a joke. $2 billion in spending money? The NDP will burn through that in a week once they take care of padding bloated union entitlements. Higher taxes, job-killing red tape, and fat raises for public sector unions - real economic winners... this is going to be embarrassing to watch.

In the early 90s Intel came out with the 80486SX CPU which was a cheaper version of the 80486DX. The 486SX was the same chip as the 486DX except it had the floating-point unit disabled. It still had the FPU, it was just turned off.

This happens in the computer industry too. Your CPU might actually have four cores in it, but only two connected. Either because one or two may be defective. Or to offer the better CPU at higher price, even though it costs the same to manufacture two versions. Ditto the clock speed of a CPU. It might still work OK at higher speeds. But fail sooner due to more heat. Gamers sometimes overclock to obtain faster machines.

We must not have watched the same game then. Here are the stats. LA was sacked once. And Rivers is a statue not capable of moving around and escaping. Miller had 0 sacks. Denver did get some pressure on Rivers....but it was with blitzes. Comparatively, Denver was sacked 4 times. Trevor moved around and ran with the ball. Still sacked 4 times. And I don't remember Chargers blitzing that much. Bosa and Ingram were a nightmare.

broncos had no pass rush? it looked like a jail break on every play. a bronco was in the backfield within 1 second every time. looked like LA had no blocking!

"...could become...an upper middle class rich white church." 19% of Catholics (with incomes over 100,000 plus) of 75 million US Catholics = 14.25 predominately white million Catholics 44% of Jews (with incomes over 100,000 plus) of 6 million US Jews = 2.64 Jews 35% of Episcopalians (with incomes over 100,000 plus) of 2 million = 700,000 Protestant Episcopalians from "How income varies among U.S. religious groups," Pew Research Center

That is just nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, Purgatrix Ineptiae! For example, for every Protestant Episcopalian or Presbyterian with a college degree and post-grad degree, making over 100,000 dollars, one can find 10 Catholics of equal income and education, according to Pew Researchers. Catholics overwhelmingly outperform Protestant America, if only owing to their size and critical mass of highly educated and wealthy adherents. Even if all Episcopalians and Presbyterians together were in the upper category, as it were, they still wouldn't equal the 8 million Catholics in the said category. Finally, I think Sean is alluding to this segment of US Catholicism when he says without immigrants, the CC could become -- quite easily -- an upper middle class rich white church.

Due to the cautious nature of all governments not to appear to be heavy handed, it is probably a safe wager those operations could do rather well. If the decision was made to add marijuana to the list, that also could be rather lucrative.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither were the problems with pot. They won't be solved in one day, either. . People can buy cheap black market cigarettes, too, yet the majority of smokers buy from normal stores, at higher prices, nonetheless, and we don't have black market cigarette dealers staking out school yards. . Lots of people will prefer to buy legal, regulated product from authorized distribution outlets. They may not want the hassle and uncertainty of buying on the black market. We have already seen that with alcohol (for 80 years), and with cigarettes. Why should pot be so different? . Start with a few stores, and then ramp up. If there is huge demand, then they can open more stores. It will be a learning experience. . Lets try the MCBO, and see where we are in five years.

We have a 2010 Macbook and a 2014 Macbook. They have heavy usage and I expect to get 8-10 years out of them. Too bad the recent ones cannot be upgraded.

I have a 2008 iPhone and 2010 MacBook I only upgraded as a result of receiving a deal an a 5s, necessitating a laptop upgrade for compatability. I also travel, significantly, and MacBooks hold up whereas my past plastic lenovos did not.

Why should they not have their own translations? In the love of Christ, when we attend Mass in a different country it would not hurt us to engage with differences, and to respect them. I have attended Mass in Austria (and speak not a word) and was able to participate. During the peace, members of the congregation kindly spoke English to us, and after the service were very inclusive. It mattered not that we did not understand Austrian - we understood the liturgy. However, I would not find it helpful to always worship in a language foreign to me and Latin is predominantly foreign to me now (although I was a more than adequate scholar in my youth). I would rather concentrate on the Mystery who is God, than the mystery which is Latin!

There will be trouble all over the world as English speaking countries vie for their own translations. Expect significant differences as liturgical texts try to outdo each other in both elegance and meaningfulness. Hooray for the billions of Catholics all over our world. Look for the Canadians and Australians to be first. The USA? Not so much - they owe the publishers a huge debt.

Yes, twice. She lost in the primary to Obama, then lost the general election to Trump. I'm sure most of us are over her, but she just won't go away.

She ran for president twice? What's embarrassing for you is that you can't get over a person who has no power over you.

Yeah, post-secondary institutions in Canada would rather accept an international student with the higher tuition they pay. This displaces many Canadian students who have equal, if not better, academic credentials. This means many of our students have to get on the same merry-go-round, and apply to other countries.

You really are uninformed Dutch. They will all have to go through the same residency requirements (multi-year) before they can practice in Canada, if they choose to come home to a messed up medical system. These are largely Canadian kids, with very high academic credentials who are being shut out of Canadian schools. We take on large number of students from other countries, rather than allowing Canadians to take the scarce spots available. I know a number of high achieving young people (95 average) who simply can't get into a medical school. I think we have more to worry about from narrow minded views like yours than from permitting the graduates to practice medicine.

I have a totally different "view" of that $2,000.00....why do people continue to break the law and cause us law abiding and smarter citizens higher water bills to cover your stupidity. Everyone spins the argument to benefit themselves and rarely looks at the cost to others.

With the water main breaks going off all around the Island, $2000/mo seems like a lot of wasted resources just to stop people from going on a simple hike.

Hardly seemly to brag about being honest about being uncivil. But really, to begin the conversation then claim you want to be left alone? Is this some new humor angle you are exploring? Rather unfunny, one would think and perhaps a bit snarky, maybe even nasty, dontcha think? But of particular note, one cannot help but notice no claim the postings are a demonstration of christian values, so perhaps progress has been made insofar as there is no longer any attempt to justify such incivility with a claim it is based on any religious view.

Indeed. The only difference in this respect between you and me? I'm honest when I do repost and identify the remark as such. As far as the rest of your post? Glad you're able to recognize yourself in your remarks - because as anyone can see, they describe you impeccably. Understanding that, perhaps you are attempting to get some help? There IS certainly something pathological about the constant smiley faces and the need you have to abuse. I really hope you are getting help in your "real" life...I really do. In the meantime, as I and others have asked you in the past...please just try to leave me alone. If you must, in order to satisfy that odd need you have to bully, try just limiting yourself to all the smiley faces while they're available. No one pays much attention to them anyway, and it will give you some outlet for your issues. For my part? I'll do my best to "stop feeding the troll" - maybe that will help you.

"The Buddhism everyone talks about" exists only in books and at higher-class Arizona resorts. Actual mass Buddhism is as capable of organized violence as any other religion of peace. Two cases in point: Japan's Zen establishment enthusiastically supported Japan's war of conquest in China and the Pacific, and the Buddhist Sri Lankan government systematically massacred Tamils (Hindu by religion, called "idolators" by the Buddhists) and oppresses them today.

This seems like a major deviation from the Buddhism everyone talks about...

Sorry, but you do not understand basics. There is NO $3 trillion dollars to spend. There are debt papers that others accept from the govt that trickle down through the major banking centers to buy services. Whether the services are "needed" or "wanted", the truth is that almost all in the world know and accept their life as it is, not their elevated lifestyle they can obtain using a government to take the labors from workers to give to those who do not work (or work hard enough to provide a lifestyle that they want).

Altogether, the House Budget would cut close to $3 trillion over the next 10 years in government services that meet the needs of low- and moderate-income households – ranging from food and housing assistance to education and job training programs. Why? To help make room for trillions of dollars worth of tax cuts for large corporations, hedge fund managers, corporate lawyers and real estate magnates like Donald Trump himself. And to pour billions of more dollars into a military industrial complex that is not keeping us safe, and a border wall that will be a mockery of our values and a symbol of hate.

All you do is call a timeout and change one player out. Plus the last thing football needs is more rules. Make the the kick.

They could if they wanted to. It's their game and they get to make any rules they want. Look at the rules for injury time out for example.

What you want you will not long get. The "people" and the clergy--this time both--don't like "consubstantial," so "consubstantial" will sooner or later be gone. RIP. We'll just have to be seen as lumped with those who have the "Sabellianist, Patripassianist, Partialist, or Tritheist understanding of God."

But explanation is why there is CCD and RCIA. If you need to have it explained to you as an adult cradle-Catholic.... I don't understand why you can't pray the Mass, regardless. I've lived in places where I didn't understand the local language yet but I could still go pray the Mass, regardless of whether it was being said in Arabic, Dutch, or Japanese. The Mass isn't about you reading the prayer (or even understanding it if it is being read to you) but being the prayer; it is here that faith and the true virtue of religion come in to play, not in flipping pages or making sure that the priest is all-smiley-faced today.

"Obama basically performed an economic miracle..." You need to stay off the medical marijuana. I agree that Obama did what needed to get done, but miracle? No way. Only a totally biased democrat could say that.

All Obama statistics. All statistics that empower a broad spectrum of America. And, all statistics that reflect a relatively progressive "equality", despite the clear problem with severely imbalanced distribution and accumulation of large wealth in this Country. THAT's why Trump hit a note with his base. The Bush2 recession hit EVERYONE hard. But the Trump base lost big ground, and groups that can now be chactrerized as Trump opposition gained. It wasn't because of "unequal" treatment of the Trump base. It was because, despite the core dogma of conservatives, the Trump base is the one with the most hands extended with palms up, expecting governmental largesse (either through direct aid or unfair policy). Obama basically performed an economic miracle through his even-handedness, that appeared in the form of recovery from the recession. Trump, and the cynicallly needy who support him, are doing their best to reverse that. To, "Make America Great Again". Think about that.

Mystikal ..."What kind of God is that?" (to allow 'objective' sinful state" in order to achieve 'subjective' virtuous state') Seems to me that would be a loving, understanding, merciful god who knows how to take our human situation into account. God understands that there are times when a greater evil is prevented by allowing a lesser 'objective' evil to persist for a time, so that 'subjectively' a person is performing a virtuous act that over-rides what other people may judge as a 'sinful' state. You don't quite seem to grasp the distinction between an 'objective' state and a 'subjective' state. A person can be in a state of grace, though in your eyes, seeing only the 'objective' situation and not the person's soul, YOU want to condemn him.

Would you change your mind if you knew that main ghostwriter for Amoris Laetitia is the Argentine Tucho Fernandez whose main claim to theological claim is being the eunuch who wrote: Heal me with your mouth: The Art of Kissing? He admitted in so many words that this book was based MOSTLY on the experiences of other people. You may want to rethink that papolatry of yours and start thinking for yourself. Something is very, very wrong when the so-called Vicar of Christ is actually telling you in AL that God would want somebody to remain in a state of mortal sin to achieve a certain good. What kind of God is that?

Competition, if we would only allow it. If there were only one car company, you would pay what they asked. If there were only one cell phone manufacturer, you would pay what they asked If there were only one medical provider you would pay what ever they asked, just like those buying insurance on their own in this state who, unfortunately are making too much money (tax payers) to get a subsidy. Great idea. Shift those costs to the government to pay...same rates, but the taxpayers are still the ones getting gored. Health care is not a right, it is YOUR responsibility, like condoms, tattoos, cigarettes, and your cable provider.

Instead of vulgarities that do not make it past censors please be specific on what value insurance companies add to healthcare. Not special programs, just cash payment vs. insurance. What value does insurance add to healthcare? I can't think of a single thing insurance adds but costs. Dazzle me!

Renzetti's column is the reason why Trump was elected (and will likely win another term). I think Trump is his own worst enemy but he was elected because the alternative was Hillary Clinton. Clinton's shameless attempt to maintain relevance only further highlights why she lost in the first place and it's a gift for the Republicans. The longer Hillary Clinton tries to stay relevant within the Democratic Party, the better it is for Republicans.

I stopped reading at the place where she said "Contrary to the pleas of journalists – in the main, but not all, men – Hillary Clinton blah blah blah". Hello? What, I cannot get even discover what the Clinton column is about before being preached at, from the pulpit of social justice, that male journalists outnumber female journalists? Sorry, I tuned out at that point. Here is a suggestion, madam columnist. Use your keyboard to cry me a river that so many medical schools have fewer men than women students, cry me a pond that so many universities have fewer men than women students, cry me an ocean that so many nurse degree programs have fewer men than women students, and cry me a lake that so few kindergarten classes are taught by men teachers compared to women teachers. Cry me all of those tears in future columns and, after you have done that, I will consider taking your columns out of the category of "one-sided axe to grind social-warrior politically-correct agenda drivel".

I dont like democrats either. Anything to make a buck. Faux news says what? Nobody lobbied the doj to reschedule. The DEA wants government funding for the never ending failed war on drugs. Every study that comes out about marijuana is never as bad the side effects of big pharma. Maybe you should try some instead of imagining something terrible.

Where do you see "GOP happy" about opiate addiction? Another random thought? The DOJ is going after doctors who overprescribe opiates. That would be the Republican DOJ, btw, not the Democratic one that just left after quite a few years of an opiate addiction crisis. As for marijuana being a miracle drug, we have plenty of dispensaries in this country that want you to think so. Those same owners that lobbied AGAINST changing cannabis from Schedule 1 to Schedule 2 to facilitate research. You can say anything you want to about the wonders of cannabis until there is real research, and apparently that is NOT what those in the industry are interested in.

If that doesn't seem "far fetched" to you, maybe you should get out of your basement for a change.

True, unless they start burning books they don't like or don't fit with their agenda of social reconstruction. It doesn't seem too far fetched to me to think that sometime in the near future Ontario teachers will be burning Shakespeare's plays and Orwell's novels--too white, too male, too much dominant culture.

Nursing schools are more than happy to get male students; school boards would give their eye teeth to have more male kindergarten teachers. Yet Demento and others like him constantly use these examples to downplay the very real barriers to women found in many different corners of the world. To put it briefly, it's dishonest. Oh, and Renzetti wasn't claiming that most journalists were men, she made the point that most, but not all of the journalists pleading for Clinton to go away were men.

I stopped reading at the place where she said "Contrary to the pleas of journalists – in the main, but not all, men – Hillary Clinton blah blah blah". Hello?

Use your keyboard to cry me a river that so many medical schools have fewer men than women students, cry me a pond that so many universities have fewer men than women students, cry me an ocean that so many nurse degree programs have fewer men than women students, and cry me a lake that so few kindergarten classes are taught by men teachers compared to women teachers. Cry me all of those tears in future columns and, after you have done that, I will consider taking your columns out of the category of "one-sided axe to grind social-warrior politically-correct agenda drivel".

Unless it suits them.

"there is zero chance they will be ready to enforce new laws for legalized pot" It should be mentioned that in practice, the police no longer enforce current laws for pot either, e.g. arrest for simple possession.

I once gave a tenant of my rental house the option of painting the exterior in exchange for rent. He sold the paint and my ladders at a garage sale and moved out of state. In the rental business no good deed ever goes unpunished.

"deadbeat" - not always. I'm not saying people shouldn't pay their rent on time and in full. However, it could happen to anyone. All it takes is a medical emergency, a job setback, numerous other unforeseen circumstances. Even just a mix up at the bank with a paycheck or something so you can't pay. In a lot of cases with a small amount still due people just need a little extra time to catch up. But there is no help for renters in most cases and most landlords certainly won't work with these situations. What I am saying is that I don't think most people say "Hey, I'm just not going to pay rent this month." - that would be a deadbeat.

So: Drivel.

Let me downshift. In the English language, at least UPPERCASING IS A WAY OF DRAWING ATTENTION TO TEXT. So, an initial lower case letter for a proper noun, 'over humbles' the start of the word (it self-humiliates), but you see it's followed by unnecessary UPPERCASING to denote an exaggerated self-importance. Long sentence for you but let me know if it made it.

I find nothing in Sacrosanctum concilium that contradicts what I've indicated above. By the way, the dictionary definition certainly comports with my understanding of "participation": "A state of being related to a larger whole", "a sharing, as in benefits or profits". If the "active" in "active participation" must refer to only some physical manifestation, as you seem to imply, one may only guess that you do not believe in "active listening". Perhaps you should broaden your definitions before accusing an interlocutor of error.

Your definition of "participation" agrees with neither the dictionary definition nor Vatican II. Yours is not at all in accordance with the early Church - the one closest to the actual sacrificial meal with Jesus Himself. You are entitled to your opinions, Lumen Gentleman, but not the distortion of terms as it pertains to the Eucharistic celebration. Everyone else knows what "participation" means.....

Just leave out the Dude thing, will you? It's below the belt.

This is a common theme of the cry-baby Left here in Canada especially Toronto, to wit: that America is racist society. If this is so, then why did Americans elect Barry Obama? And as I've posted before, America invented the following: the airplane, the assembly line, nuclear power, the digital computer, polio vaccine, MRI, the transistor, the integrated circuit. And, what is Canada's contribution to high tech? The roller brush that is used in house painting. And, that is all she wrote. Dude, I see you have a lot of time to waste on Canadian lefty news websites. I suggest you expand your Web surfing to check out more balanced news on the Brit websites.

"Team Trump vindicated..." Not quite: "The order was not the court’s last word on the travel policy that President Donald Trump first rolled out in January. The justices are scheduled to hear arguments on Oct. 10 on the legality of the bans on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries and refugees anywhere in the world." All they did was block a lower court ruling. They will hear the case on October 10th -maybe. Trump's 90-day travel ban expires in late September so if he does not extend it all become irrelevant anyway. It is funny sometimes how Trump supporters exaggerate any little "victory" in this mess of a an administration. (Though you should take heart - it seems to be smoothening out a bit thanks to the generals now keeping order and babysitting the president).

This just shows that the 9th circuit has been propped up with judges who are activists and do not uphold the law. They should clear the bench and remove all of them for failure to uphold the law. Team Trump vindicated again. When will the left stop embarrassing themselves?

O'Malley?....NOPE!!!!!.......The Country needs a President that can make decisions and not stand before the Nation and scratch his head........

If you want a shot at really unseating Trump you need a middle of the road candidate. Honestly if Dems had run Gov. Martin O'Malley in 2016 (a moderate without any extreme socialist ideals and without a massive truckload of sleazy, amoral, unethical, and borderline illegal baggage) we would be talking about President O'Malley right now and not Donald Trump. Remember between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 people (myself included) in this country that voted for Trump did not really vote for Trump - they voted AGAINST Clinton. If the Democrats would just run a moderate candidate palatable to 10-20% of the Never-Clinton people that voted for Trump in 2016 they would win in 2020.

Yes, it wasn't easy but it's important to stand up to bigotry, abuse, and misogyny. Mc's comments remain as a reminder that he's a low functioning sociopath. Most folks at 72 know better than to insult a parent by including his daughter in a trashy comment about sexual behavior.

thanks for sharing that - bet it wasn't easy. and of course the important thing MC took way from an 8yr clinton presidency was the willing, consent coming from a legal woman. it really was business between spouses. period. unlike trumps russian romps with his 13 yr old "pros".. 72 yrs old was about what i figured, insecure, never married, very sour about women.

It was once told me that saying to the priest "and with your Spirit" was to recognize the Spirit of God given to him through ordination...well if that's true, I choose in reciprocity to recognize the same Spirit of God given in Baptism and Confirmation and perhaps Matrimony (if they are married).

If, as the celebrant offers "The Lord be with you"(us), does he mean "all of me" or my spirit only? If me/us, I just don't get the absence of reciprocity in a response that only refers to "his" "spirit"? Does the liturgical intent - imposed upon us - say in effect that "his" body is on his own, we don't care, God doesn't care, or that "his" body is totally irrelevant to his sacramental function, or...?

You professor types have seriously over-inflated egos. Everyone sees it.

Yeah, exactly. The people who died in Houston, Florida and the Caribbean are martyrs to the cause . . . of global warming denial. Given that science is 95% sure that manmade global warming is real, why do government planners continue to plan as if nothing is happening? Well, because of a longstanding, well-funded campaign of AGW denial that has stymied such planning for decades. That sounds an awful lot like a crime to me, like a premeditated refusal to act in accordance with reality. And now people are dead, in part, because of it.

Actually, there is a strong case that taxes do subsidize businesses which pay wages low enough for full-time employees to qualify for numerous government benefits. A one bedroom apartment in Denver is just under $1400/month (median). Even at a $15 minimum wage, rent eats up more than half of annual income. (A Walmart cashier, according to Glassdoor, makes about $10.50/hr) There are numerous reports that Walmart informs its employees of how to secure government benefits. CEO pay has increased 90 times more than average worker pay since 1978 ( and twice as much as stock prices). Shunting off basic living expenses of employees to the taxpayer has helped enable this.

It's hilarious that politics were injected into it, as though that had any bearing on the stupid actions of one manager of a single franchise. And don't bother attempting to put words into my reply. Taxes that pay the profit margins of a business owner? Taxes that pay executive bonuses? That's funny stuff right there.

Actually, I read recently that it is now about equal in men in their 20s in the US. Either way most of our priests globally are not American and this likely means we have a Pope who would need the surgery if we are going to demand clergy put on the Israelite façade to fake their bodies are just like Jesus'.

I think that most men born in the US are circumcised. So, that probably would not be an issue.

Perhaps a look at Father Reese's NCR article in April 2011 would clarify. He pinpoints a lack of satisfaction with worship as the reason 70% of Catholics who become Protestants give for doing so. Approximately half of US Catholics who leave the Church do so to become Protestants. That's millions. Of course, there are other reasons, everyone is different, but surely to say so does not constitute Revisionism. Naturally, Father Reese does not blame the banishment of the Latin Mass (though interestingly he does acknowledge that is the case for 11 % - a good argument against his advocacy of renewed banishment at least). Balance would have been to include the material from his earlier article in this one. As to bias, I have a different opinion based on a different interpretation. That's not bias.

Sorry - historical facts back up Reese's statement. Your statement, on the other, is revisionism with no basis in historical facts. Very few folks left because of the reforms of Paul VI - you may be confusing that with Paul's Humanae Vitae reaction. Please don't confuse or conflate the two. Balance - do you balance by rejecting history? Or to make your biases feel good?

While we are at it, let's just give up our 1st amendment, Free Speech, then no one can comment and blame everyone else!!!

Another gun nut loses it and shoots and kills 3 people. Where do we draw the line?? The only people who are shooting and killing people are people that are gun fanatics, that includes gang members, drug dealers, and thugs who are constantly posting pictures of themselves with guns. You know who doesn't shoot and kill anyone? People without guns! Repeal the 2nd amendment and replace with strict gun licensing laws that only allow gun ownership to responsible owners who have gone through strict background checks and are annually checked for there criminal and mental health history in order to maintain that license. Gun ownership should be a privelage, NOT a right. If you think this sounds like some crazy left wing liberal argument, you're part of the problem.

It's one thing for people to not like Hillary Clinton's politics or to feel she's had her turn. But my mind boggles when people say they voted for Donald Trump because Hillary Clinton lacks character or she lies. Donald Trump has character? Since when? Trump can lie, cheat and steal with the worst. And "family values", "moral responsibility" religious conservatives are the worst hypocrites. Trump has no moral center, period. He has been divorced twice and married three times, he makes money off of gambling, he has boasted about his sexual conquests, he routinely denigrates women, and before he started campaigning, the only time he ever entered a church was to get out of the rain or duck a subpoena process server. But, he doesn't drink alcoholic drinks and will throw GLBT people under the bus whenever he needs to, so religious conservatives swoon.

Kay Robbins, "All this for a book that tries to explain away her deception, her gross mishandling, her carelessness, and her illegal activities, not to mention her sketchy and questionable credibility." What exactly would all of that be? What actually proof do you have to support these claims against her, besides just repeating garbage? Do you believe that Bernie was honest when he fraudulently registered as a Democrat just to benefit from the Party's infrastructure? Everybody knows he eschewed both the Ds and Rs all his life. Did you believe him when he kept raising expectations about raising taxes on the rich to pay for free college education and Medicare for all, when he should know that they can't possibly be passed in this climate without overwhelming support, meaning conservatives, too. Or did you trust Donald Trump, who lied on a daily basis, has a personal record of fraud, bankruptcies, personal bragging about his sexual debauchery and Misogyny. Which one did you trust?

Again I say hmm... Similar reactions to those two comments, and yet my responses were limited to the single dimension of civility... At least in one case, I felt that the civility was less of an issue than another reaction.

Hmm... Then your system to asked me to rate two comments for civility, but at least one of them was not such a good comment, and yet all I could say was that it seemed civil enough.

What's odd is the resistance to better science...FDA like certainty. Demanded for public safety in drugs but rejected for climate topics How odd and yet predictable.

When the mainstream scientists make their dissertations, you think it is fraudulent data, yet you believe in the oil companies and Brietbart News. Yes I see you project your own fraudulence on to others. It seems a rather deceitful thing to do... The problem is not academic science which has brought us so many new advances, the problem is large greedy companies attempting to market dirty products and hiring all sorts of deceitful people to deceive others...

How many hundreds of k will that set you back. How long will the batteries last.....

Richard, Battery chemistry and longevity continue to improve. At Frankfurt Samsung introduced a new EV battery with higher energy density. The battery is fully scalable by altering the number of cells. Ranges up to 435 miles/696 km can be had for typical cars. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/samsung-unveils-electric-car-battery-with-a-435-mile-range/ar-AArTvOf

Where in my above posts did I even mention Your fifth placed also rans of the AL East ? Never did, never will. Not a National newspaper either.

They won't even sell out, so hardly the world, not even Cleveland...they are waiting for the Cavs season to start. I like Rogers, no one would have bought and kept the Jay's in TO in 2000, I'm not even sure about an owner stepping forward today. But if you would humour me and take a shot at explaining what I posted earlier. That you spend years going to a comment board in a Canadian national newspaper about the latest Jay's news/games (the only MLB team in Canada) and firing off negative Jay's comments. And if making people annoyed, cause surely you are over delivering on that one, is that what excites you in life? Hey honey, I really got to those Jay's fans today on that comment board in the globe covering Jay's games, felt great! Can't wait until tomorrow, will do it all again, yea, my life is so amazing, love spending this much time/energy annoying others, whoop!

You pay tax on electricity in Ontario.

We are talking about a North American car market in which Canada plays only a junior role. There will be no economical advantage to buying an electric vehicle if they are not accepted by the US consumer at large. 70% of he electricity presently produced in the US is produced by coal. Where is he advantage of less pollution here? Another point I never hear mentioned is the true cost of electricity versus gasoline. Remember close to 50% of the cost of gasoline is tax. How will the government compensate for the immense loss of that revenue? Can you tax electricity instead? I doubt it.

Not surprising. You don't get the point of Adoration because you elevate conscience and your limited capacity for reason over Scripture (the word of God) and Tradition (accumulated wisdom). If you keep that up, this is the last thing that God will say to you at the very end: your will be done, Michael.

I like a nice long quiet period after Communion, when I can rest in the Lord's presence. Adoration, not so much. The Sacrament is for receiving. Praying to it, other than as part of the ritual of the Mass (like praying Eloi Eloi lama sabacthani at the first elevation or I thirst at second) is turning it into a hidden or visible icon or idol (if you are an iconoclast). I can pray to the every-present God anywhere.

If you took any time to recognize Canada's export rules, Justins government authorized the sale against all evidence that these weapons would be used in human rights violations. Then Justin refused to release a human rights reports on Saudi Arabia. You must be very upset at THIS government for its actions, yes?

If you'd bother to do a little research, you'd find that the Harper government put this deal together. It's no secret.

No..this is purposeful and malicious protection of number 1... treason.

Complete incompetence? Complete arrogance? Does it matter which?

The reality is Wynne had 2 options here: 1) evoke privilege and refuse to testify, thus being seen as hiding something 2) take the stand and even if nobody believes what she says hope that the electorate forgets about this sordid affair by the next election. Like a good leader she stood up for her troops which was the only political expedient thing to do

What a disgrace. Unlike Stephen Harper, who let it be known from the get-go that he would use PM's privilege to avoid testifying at the Senate scandal inquires his ruinous judgment necessitated, Wynne has waived her right and willingly agreed to testify and cooperate fully with the law. She is not on trial here. Brown only discredits himself with his baseless defamation - not surprising, I suppose, from someone who is on record having made innumerable disgusting remarks.
