“... the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.” — Sydney J. Harris

Take your dad to a hand surgeon. Hand surgery is — believe it or not — a sub-specialty of plastic surgery. The anatomy of the hands and feet is incredibly complex — nerves, muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments. I speak from experience.

Elect a democratic president and senate and fire the lot of them. Then start a thorough investigation to see if any judges require removal or impeachment. Complete the investigation of the pumpkin after he’s voted out of office and if he’s guilty of crimes throw him in prison.

Who says she must wear a hijab? Please point to the chapter, verse, and paragraph in the Koran that states this requirement. You won’t because there isn’t one. This is a rule made by men who wish to control women.

Thank you for your carefully considered thoughts. when I first followed you I initially concluded you held a set of dogmatic beliefs with which I did not always agree. The longer I have listened, the more I understand what you are saying, the more I agree.
@Kasparov63
Indeed not all ideas warrant an equal hearing and some ideas are unequivocally evil. Our concept of “civilization” is a thin veneer separating us from our most base instincts and behaviours.
@Kasparov63
Context matters. There’s a difference between discussing certain ideas in an academic setting, such as history or philosophy, versus allowing someone to spout repugnant ideas in an effort to find followers amongst the less critical thinkers.

Removing his IV is performing a medical procedure without a license. It is at least battery. Cops aren’t protected against that shit.
It is unbelievable to me, a Canadian, that these cops are not only racists but also dumber than a bag of hammers.

Or we could live in the reality of the 21st century. It’s normal to have sex because it’s enjoyable. There’s a huge chasm between sleeping with losers and wanting a baby. Contraception does fail. Which simply reinforces the argument for the availability of safe abortions.

There’s evidence that beside skill, courage, and hard work a key factor in the success of the ultra-wealthy is luck. They win the lottery amongst the ultra-talented. Then there’s those with a legacy that was built on criminal activity before they turned to legal enterprise.

It’s very tragic, but young, apparently health people do occasionally drop dead.
Sean died 33 days after vaccination. His death had nothing to do with the vaccination. What you’re experiencing is called selection bias. Do a bit of research and study some statistics.
@skyriders1
A bit harsh but point taken. I’m not a religious person but I believe in redemption. Let these folks earn their redemption in the private sector. The way parties elect their leaders is broken. Given two strong leaders and one weak, the weak leader can rise up through the middle.

“Woke” is a concept from African American civil rights history co-opted by racists. It’s offensive to employ it in the pejorative sense. I expect you didn’t realize this is hurtful and wrong. Re-shaping language is one of the tools of the propagandist.
@RichardDawkins
You insist on repeating this point without addressing any of the many and sundry intersex conditions. Perhaps you mean that per scientific definition sex is binary but an individual’s secondary sex characteristics aren’t always concordant with the that definition.

No, none of those ideas are “woke”. This is a pejorative misuse of the word woke and it’s truly offensive to use it in this manner. Those ideas may be considered progressive, perhaps liberal depending on which definition of liberal you elect to use. They are NOT woke.

It was such a good movie. I bought it for my daughters when they were about 10 and 11. Not to get them into Soccer but to show them they could aspire to be whatever they wanted. I ended up liking it as much as they did.

That’s because some middleman is making 500% profit. It is absolutely not necessary to pay $70 for a hoodie for the workers to be paid fair wages. A lot of the problem is outsourcing. Large sellers should vertically integrate.

In a public health emergency your individual rights come second to the well being of society as a whole. It doesn’t matter if you have a different opinion. If you don’t agree then you can banish yourself to remote environs until the risk is understood.

I disagree. Also, Canada doesn’t have mass immigration. It has always been a nation of immigrant and that will continue with rates varying due to both our needs and world events behind our control.

The flu is much less contagious than Covid-19. The social distancing measures needed to control the community transmission of Covid-19 very nearly extinguished transmission of the flu. No big mystery. Science.

The PA system is for staff use only. If an average person took to the PA they would be restrained in their seat until landing. If the plane was still at the gate they would be removed. It’s called interfering with the operation of a commercial plane and it’s a crime.

I have two daughters and I think we’ve done a good job of raising them to balance meeting their needs vs. Meeting the needs of others. It’s not easy though.
When we were first parents my wife worked shift work as an RN so I did plenty of child care. I enjoyed it greatly.
@elongreen
The cop should be charged with assault with a weapon. It’s a complete abuse of power. I understand law and order is important. I’m the first to argue we wouldn’t like a society without police. There’s no excuse for a use of “less lethal” weapons for such a minor offense.

This is excellent. I would add two points:
(1) After negotiating the vehicle price announce you want accessories for free. Floor mats, cargo nets etc.
(2) Then ask for free service. I got 15 free oil changes on my last car.
Do both before mentioning trade in car.

The hand surgeon should consult an infectious disease specialist regarding the treatment for the infection. It’s easy for a cellulitis (skin infection) of the hand to migrate to involve other structures as they are so close by. It’s not good for other structures to get infected.

As the owner of a white penis I agree. I’m a strong proponent of equal rights but this requires the world to change. There are those who oppose that change to the point of explosive anger. The institutions that should help them change instead reinforce their outdated viewpoints.
I am not OK. I’m not in the depth of depression. I’m teetering on the edge. I’m pretty good at moving away rather than falling in. Tomorrow is a new day. I don’t want people to worry. I’m not at risk of self harm. Just a word of thanks to those who offer help when I need it.

Most people attend post secondary institutions during the most formative years of their life. Having an emotional connection to that period is normal. Thinking that attending a specific school makes you a better person, subject to different rules is the root of the problem.

A mouth free of gum disease, caries, and infection is essential in maintaining your overall health.
Even orthodontia can be important for avoiding teeth problems that may result from poor alignment of the bite later in life.
