It could be that some parts of traditional sexual morality were attempts to help negotiate these facts--it could be that love and sex do belong together in some important way. It could be that any attempt to get absolutely consistency here would be false and repressive. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

As society has progressed through the building of knowledge, as well as a maturity that recognizes that there are plenty of ideas that were acceptable in the past that are now morally repugnant, it has long outgrown the need for a book of fairy tales and myths created by primitive Middle Eastern tribes. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

If they deal with first nations in a manner that respects the tenets of UNDRIP and at the same time advocate for federal legislation that supports those tenets then there is an opportunity here that we should pursue. Proceeding in this way avoids constitutional challenges at the provincial level and allows us to break the stalemate situation the BC Liberals have created. Besides - introducing unconstitutional laws is more of a BC Liberals thing. They did it to break the HEU and then the SCC found it unconstitutional and forced them to reverse their actions and pay out the people they harmed. They did it to the BCTF and the then the SCC found it unconstitutional and forced them to reverse their actions and, after screwing a generation of BC children, to follow court orders to provide appropriate funding for education. Just two of the BC Liberals plans for harming the people of BC while they enrich their corporate masters. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

However, I think if it was a very carefully worded law it might be a option for some. My biggest fear with it is that the choice is made by a person who is fully functioning and that it is not made by the family or by the state or hospital. I guess I wonder how a law like that would include children under the age of 18, and how it would apply to folks with mental disabilities. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

Wikileaks is/was supposed to be neutral. At work may be a bad case of cabin fever gone amok, Assange acting out his frustration at being trapped in an embassy. Hard to tell but he has opened the door for revenge attacks and done a fine job of alienating a lot of sympathizers with a data dump that really had little effect at the end of the day in influencing the DNC. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

And you have to applaud Siemian's approach to the game and performance last year. I believe his shortfalls are the long ball and the inability to make anything happen when a play breaks down. Plus - his durability as he is not the biggest QB around. On the plus side, he throws an incredible ball and has a command of the offense & teammates respect. I do not think he is as accurate as some folks portray. There might have been no debate about the QB position if the outcome of two games were different last year. The K.C. Chief game at home where Siemian led them to a winning score late in the 4th quarter, only to have the defense blow it. And, the Tennessee Titans road game where late in the four quarter on a potential game winning drive, he hit Bennie Fowler in the nose with a perfect pass that Fowler couldn't catch (bye Bennie, I've seen enough not to waste a roster spot on you.) | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

So long as the NFL allows people to protest on the job, they will not get a penny from me; no buying tickets, no watching on TV or online, not buying a pair of socks, jersey, hat, towel, or even a pencil. As a matter of fact, I make sure to not even check scores or read online articles about the NFL (except the protest thing) so that no one is even getting click-credit or ratings downstream. Between the NFL and Hollywood, I've socked a bunch of extra money into my kids' college funds and gotten a lot of work done on the house and yard. We'll see how keen they are to protesting on the job when the NFL starts talking salary cuts! | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

It's much worse. "Experts generally agree that Hawaii has the broadest sales tax in the United States, taxing many products multiple times and, by one estimate, ultimately taxing 99.21 percent of the state’s personal income. This base is far wider than the national median, where the sales tax base applies to 34.46 percent of personal income,” http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/blog/2013/08/tax-foundations-ranking-for-hawaiis.html "If you did an apples-to-apples comparison, factoring out state sales tax bases, Hawaii has a sales tax rate equivalent to over 11%. The gross receipts tax format allows for a low rate but it cannot hide the fact that Hawaii’s sales tax is one of the most economically burdensome in the country." https://taxfoundation.org/hawaiis-gross-receipts-tax-economically-damaging-despite-low-rate/ | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

Earth is flat in its own dimension, or 2D. example: you have a Hubble grade telescope installed in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina @ sea level. The telescope is facing the east. Under ideal conditions, you can visualize through the telescope the coastline of the african continent @ sea level and in the same latitude. Our first reaction would not make us believe this was possible because the African continent is beyond the earth's surface curvature, thus invisible. I could be wrong though. I know for a fact that gravity warps spacetime or causes its curvature.. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

He gained a high public profile in October 2000, when he delivered a eulogy at his father's state funeral.[5] After graduating, he worked as a teacher in Vancouver, British Columbia. He completed one year of an engineering program at Montreal's École Polytechnique before quitting in 2003. In 2005 he began a master's degree in environmental geography at McGill University but quit after one year. He used his public profile to advocate for various causes and acted in the 2007 TV miniseries The Great War.[6] | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

For example the comment that the US is "entering its greatest isolationist phase since the end of the First World War. " Seriously. We do recall that the US stood by and watched while Germany attack Poland, Russia, France, many others, and even the UK without doing anything in 1938-39. Does the author really want to stand by his statement? His hyperbole just undermines the rest of his argument, which is otherwise sound. If we really do believe the US has become an unreliable ally - and I don't believe that- then we need to spend a hell of a lot more money on defense. Like 3x-4x. Even if we think the US will remain our ally, we should still pull our weight and spend 50 percent more. | No flag | No flag | Allow | No action | Checked |

Obergefell is "settled law" and reversing RvW to send the issue back to the states will not overturn abortion but just take the issue out of the federal vision and make it a state issue.
