Since you invited dissent, Tom, I'm happy to provide some.
Lots of liberals didn't like many of Obama's policies - because by and large he was fairly conservative.
I don't know a single liberal who approves of ISIS. I also don't know a single Muslim who approves of it (and I know a lot of Muslims).
I think fact checkers have conclusively shown that Clinton has been more truthful in her public comments than Trump is.
The ACA is far from perfect - most liberals are more in favor of public option single payer - but then it was originally drafted by the heritage foundation.
I don't think you are the most hateful person in the U.S. - there are probably millions of Trump supporters more hateful than you.

ZTE may be in trouble with the US yet again
Reports indicate ZTE is suspected of being naughty, yet again, with respect to US government conditions for being able to operate there.
Reuters had got hold of a letter from a couple of US senators, asking their government to look into whether or not ZTE worked with individuals on its persona non grata list. This sort of thing usually refers to countries the US disapproves of and in this case it’s Venezuela, which is in the middle of a communist, authoritarian misadventure of North Korean proportions.
In common with all such projects Venezuela has prioritised spying on and victimising its own citizens in a bid to protect the ruling elite from the perfectly reasonable opposition their sociopathic activities receive. The gripe, apparently, is that US components helped Venezuela’s government to flout democratic processes or human rights. Shocking.
The specific project involves ZTE helping the Venezuelan state build a database that would track its citizens though a national ID card scheme, rather creepily called ‘the fatherland card’. The senators reckon some of the datacenters ZTE helped create used Dell gear, and the document Reuters saw would appear to confirm that.
The Senators are likely to get a sympathetic hearing from the US government, which has had it in for Chinese telecoms companies for years. ZTE only just rescued itself from apparent doom earlier this year by handing over loads of money and promising to be squeaky clean from now on. The consequences of ZTE being found guilty of a fourth strike don’t bear thinking about.

Since there was no notification of "this comment did not meet civility standards" one can only conclude that MSW used his famed editorial ax to get rid of my comment which apparently, like so many before it, he simply didn't like. It's fair to say that nothing I said was untrue, just uncomfortable for Republicans like MSW to deal with, so therefore it must be deleted. Whatever.

Oh, nice try there Simona and Globe. Mr. Peterson is by my own humble estimation quite likely brilliant, and now he's getting some 'notoriety' as you say, and that's a bitter pill to swallow for the likes of you is it? The man resorted to posting an 'amateur' video when he felt vulnerable and cornered by what no doubt felt like a treacherous legion hell bent on dismantling or obliterating a foundation and structure of a society/civilization/state which he'd (like we all aspire to do consciously or not) spent a significant part of his lifetime coming to terms with and attempting to 'master.' And backed up as he felt by a notion of 'scientific reality' which delineates a binary of sexes for 99.9% of specialized cell organisms, and by his own and arguably objective truth - recognizing the inherent risks associated with a power structure that threatens to attempt to dictate the terms of your understanding of 'human rights,' whereas only a 'god' could do that - you're green with envy! | 0 | en |
I cannot speak for past positions Rob has taken. Just an overview of this article, which is about relying on your home for retirement. You want to have other options.
And yes, there are examples of some folks in TO and Vancouver that will be fine doing this (as shared in this thread). Without knowing exact numbers, they bought homes 20, 25, 30 plus years ago for a fraction of home worth now, example, paid 100 grand, now 2.5-3 million. (Funny thing is though, most home owners forget about the hundreds of thousands spent on that house over the years).
But Rob is considering everyone, so that 29 year old who just bought a 300 grand condo, or 45 year old who is renting, or yes God forbid, even those that don't live in TO and Vancouver. | 0 | en |

First, I don’t want to silence flat Earth believers in what they say; however, I would like to point out what is said might be biased or flawed based on some reasons. NPOV should address all aspects of the issues no matter how small it is. If someone makes a statement, there can be counter arguments. Wiki doesn’t have section A devoted to supporters and section B for proponents; therefore, the statements of both can be discussed in a fair and even through out the article. So is it not appropriate to have point counter point within the article? Fair question, not trying to troll, but deserving a fair answer and if this is not the case then I will re-re-re-read the NPOV stuff. But if it is allowed then the line that is in debate should stand as somewhat similar to the way I wrote it. Later we should discuss why Love Field only benefits Dallas more than Fort Worth and not the other surrounding communities more or less. 18:49 | 0 | en |

First video from Sinjar emerges online after the Yazidi town is liberated from Isis
The largely Yazidi inhabited town in Iraq was taken over by Isis in August 2014.
The Kurdish militia take a captured Isis militant as prisoner during Sinjar offensive.Peshmerga/Twitter
A video has emerged from Sinjar showing Kurdish Peshmerga forces inside the Yazidi town in Iraq after it was captured from the Islamic State (Isis) militants on Friday.
Reports have emerged that the Kurdish Peshmerga forces had captured several stragetic locations in the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar. According to Reuters, the victory in Sinjar will provide the anti-Isis forces with the necessary push to defeat the Sunni radical group, which took over the Yazidi town in August 2014.
A video taken by the Peshmerga forces from Sinjar shows the Kurdish soldiers hoisting their flags on top of key public buildings in the town such as the hospital, the grainery and the cement factory.
Since taking over the Yazidi town in August 2014, Isis has directly been responsible for killing thousands of Yazidi men and woman. Isis, a Sunni radical group, considers the Yazidi as devil worshippers who should be wiped out from the face of the earth.
The Isis had sent thousands of Yazidi women and girls into sexual slavery. Many of them were paraded naked in Isis sex slave markets in Raqqa and Mosul with a price tag around them. | 1 | en |

The influence of herbal medicine on platelet function and coagulation: a narrative review.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Platelet activation and aggregation play a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Herbal medicines have been traditionally used in the management of CVD and can play a role in modifying CVD progression, particularly in platelet function, and have the potential of altering platelet function tests, as well as some coagulation parameters. Herbal medicines, such as feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginseng, motherwort, St John's wort, and willow bark, were found to reduce platelet aggregation. In vitro studies show promise in the reduction of platelet aggregation for Andrographis, feverfew, garlic, ginger, Ginkgo, ginseng, hawthorn, horse chestnut, and turmeric. In addition, cranberry, danshen, dong quai, Ginkgo, ginseng, green tea, and St John's wort were found to have potential interactions with warfarin. Furthermore, St John's wort interacted with clopidogrel and danshen with aspirin. Therefore, repeat testing of platelet function and coagulation studies, particularly for patients on warfarin therapy, may be required after exclusion of herbal medicines that could have possibly affected initial test results. | 0 | en |

Concerning all this hullabaloo over fund raisers etc. Jean Chretien did the right thing. He made political contributions completely a-political and funded from taxes by a small, per vote cash benefit to the parties. But, that wasn't good enough for Harper, who, thinking of the mess that they had created on political donations in Alberta figured that he would re-create it Nationally. Enough evidence is in to prove that neither corporations nor unions nor any large money donations should be allowed. | 0 | en |

So many folks beg to be deceived. They think they're doing their duty to democracy and humanity by voting, then when they are deceived and betrayed as usual they get self-righteous. Ludicrous.

Dear Globe and Mail,
The story I would like to see is the annual cost of refugees and immigration to the Canadian taxpayer. Then a comparison to the benefits received by disabled Canadians, such as our veterans. Once the costs are fully disclosed please have a poll at the bottom to see if people still support high levels. For example, last year refugees cost taxpayers 1 billion dollars directly in bringing them here and supporting them for a year. The Fraser Institute reports that our high immigration cost taxpayers 23 billion annually because they receive far more benefits than they pay in taxes.
Continuing high levels is breaking the back of the people paying for it through their taxes and now requiring deficits in the billions to support it. It is economically insane. | 0 | en |

I am surprised that someone in your position apparently knows so little about the rail. There are so many erroneous statements in your post it is impossible to address them all.
Your article states that less than 50% of the rail is complete. Currently there is 10.8 miles of guideway completed (simple math says 54%). Furthermore, the maintenance and storage facility is 99% complete. Currently there are already six trains at the M&S Facility being tested. The rail project is definitely more than 50% complete.
Your article states the rail will probably cost 13-15 billion. Do you have an estimate to backup that statement? NO. You are just repeating what the anti-rail people are broadcasting.
Current estimated construction costs for the entire rail system are 8.16 billion. Financing costs bring this figure to 1 billion. | 0 | en |

` ::::::I like the French image. Again, just to sorta re-state where I'm coming from, even if the nebulizer girl was perfectly lit in high resolution, the main trouble is that this doesn't ``look`` like cystic fibrosis. There's absolutely nothing in it to the layman which says ``this is what cystic fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis alone, looks like`` - it's a girl with a breathing mask. The image could be used in the treatment subsection (where I originally placed it) or somewhere else in the article, but the top image should be as singularly ``cystic fibrosis`` as the title itself. For diseases like, off the top of my head, lupus, clubfoot, ALS, spina bifida, or Downs syndrome, images of people could be very suitable for the lede. But for other diseases, a picture of a person suffering from the disease really doesn't work - a person with a runny nose could have the flu, or could just have allergies. There's nothing so strikingly visual about how the flu manifests itself in a human being that justifies a picture of a person with the flu in the lede when a picture of the bug itself can be used. Same with Tay-Sachs, or Alzheimers, or AIDS - none of these articles have a picture of a human being in their lede, and for good reason. It's an article about cystic fibrosis, not ``living with`` cystic fibrosis, and as such, we should strive to present readers with an image that's as singularly CF as possible. The image of the girl is cute and touching and is suitable enough for the ``treatment`` section, but is unfitting of being the lead image in the article. ` | 0 | en |
"
First of all, where do you get the idea that one must be an ""activist"" in order to be pro-choice or to have a pro-choice position on some issue? And where is the article edit where I ever said that RCOG is ""activist""? You seem to be making arguments against a person who does not exist, because I never edited any article to say that RCOG is ""activist.""
In the United States, a CNN poll asked the following question in May of 2007: ""With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?"" 45% said pro-choice and 50% said pro-life. Do you seriously believe that those 50% are activists or consider themselves activists? I certainly don't think that. Those 50% are simply saying what their opinion is.
Regarding RCOG, they may well be ""activist."" I don't know, and I don't see how that is the least bit relevant to whether they are ""pro-choice"" or whether they have taken a ""pro-choice position"" on some issue. I suspect RCOG is ""activist"" on this issue, since they oppose reduction of abortion time limits. That is a political position, and not merely a matter of complying with existing law.
And can't you see that I did not edit this article to say RCOG is a ""pro-choice organization""? I edited it to say that they have taken a ""pro-choice position."" Can't you see the difference, anymore? You're the one who pointed out the difference in the first place. " | 0 | en |
I am not sure that Marie Heinen or any other high profile trial lawyer is the right person to be lecturing the rest of us on facts. What we appear to have here is a very well written article about facts which contain her opinions and arguments but almost no facts.
It's difficult to disagree with her statement concerning Trump that "in the good old days experience and qualifications mattered" but is hard to reconcile the election of Justin Trudeau who clearly has even less experience and qualification.
Her argument that her grandmother immigrated to Canada in 1964 and was not vetted contradicts my own similar experience at that time. Regardless it does not mean that today we should not vet refugees thoroughly.
Her statement that her Canadian family may not be allowed to enter the USA in the future is pure conjecture and is not supported by today;s facts.
This is an article about the need for more facts but without any facts to support the opinion. It's fiction. | 0 | en |

FaceBook blew it on privacy and fake news. Can it do better when it comes to knowing the truth versus a lie. Apparently they’re struggling with truth, I posted this article on Facebook this afternoon and immediately got a message that I was in violation of Facebook’s hate speech policy. It’s obvious Facebook doesn’t know right from wrong, they’re enabling evil individuals disguised as entertainers(drag queens) pedophiles, homosexuals and other devious individuals to post on Facebook and indoctrinate children, and the misled brain-dead parents that allow their children to be indoctrinated by pure evil, transgender, homosexual devious sexually perverted individuals… That’s okay, but let a Christian Post opposition to evil and Fake Book immediately block the article….
Facebooker taking his stand against misandry. Nor is it a boneheaded “enforcement error” caused by one of Facebook’s 15,000 human content moderators around the world. The posts get removed because of one of Monika Bickert’s well-intentioned, though possibly doomed, policies. Source
Facebook has a 40-page rule book listing all the things that are disallowed on the platform. They’re called Community Standards, and they were made public in full for the first time in April 2018. One of them is hate speech, which Facebook defines as an “attack” against a “protected characteristic,” such as gender, sexuality, race, or religion. What Facebook is really protecting, people from the truth!~!!~!…
Your post goes against our Community Standards on hate speech
No one else can see your post. We have these standards because we want discussions on Facebook to be respectful.
So being truthful is disrespectful on FaceBook ? really confusing

In a number of different places, the Apostle Paul makes some comments that are so offensive to modern men. Namely, he states that mankind, apart from God’s Spirit working in them, is incapable of clear thinking. That doesn’t mean that people apart from Christ can’t be smart, but it does mean that people apart from Christ are incapable of seeing certain things clearly.
We could argue this point all day. According to the Apostle Paul the reason for this problem is not intellectual superiority but moral deformity caused by sin. In fact, in one place he says that such people “suppress the truth by their wickedness,” (Romans 1:18, NIV84). That is, their moral depravity leads them to find intellectual arguments against truth claims.
Transsexualism, also known as transgenderism, Gender Identity Disorder (GID), or gender dysphoria, is a feeling that your biological/genetic/physiological gender does not match the gender you identify with and/or perceive yourself to be. Transsexuals/transgenders often describe themselves as feeling “trapped” in a body that does not match their true gender. They often practice transvestism/transvestitism and may also seek hormone therapy and/or gender reassignment surgery to bring their bodies into conformity with their perceived gender.
The Bible nowhere explicitly mentions transgenderism or describes anyone as having transgender feelings. However, the Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of gender is that God created two (and only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous genders or gender fluidity—or even a gender “continuum” with unlimited genders—is foreign to the Bible.
The closest the Bible comes to mentioning transgenderism is in its condemnations of homosexuality (Romans 1:18–32; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10) and transvestitism (Deuteronomy 22:5). The Greek word often translated “homosexual offenders” or “male prostitutes” in 1 Corinthians 6:9 literally means “effeminate men.” So, while the Bible does not directly mention transgenderism, when it mentions other instances of gender “confusion,” it clearly and explicitly identifies them as sin.
Queer Role Models for Kids? A self-styled “drag queen” (this is a man) holds a copy of “Princess Boy,” a “children’s” picture book promoting gender confusion about a boy who “likes to wear his princess tiara,” etc. This introduction from the opening page of the “Drag Queen Story Hour” website reads: “Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like–drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores. DQ SH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restriction and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.”
In October of last year, a Satanic looking drag queen with horns reading to children at Michelle Obama’s public library in Long Beach, California sparked a backlash from Conservatives.
The shocking photo of a man dressed as a female demon with giant horns on his head reading to little children at a public library was posted to Twitter and Facebook by the Long Beach Library but taken down after a huge outpouring of critical replies, including from GOP Congressional candidate Omar Navarro. It also got the approval of the Church of Satan, reported TGP’s Kristinn Taylor.
LGBT activists are ramping up efforts to indoctrinate children inside and outside the classroom.
Across the country, initiatives like “Drag Queen Story Hour” — the latest tactic in the broader campaign to “convert” kids to the pro-LGBT worldview — are growing.
Likewise, groups dedicated to normalizing transgenderism through the education system are mushrooming, targeting children with the message that biological sex is changeable; that gender is a social construct instead of a scientific fact.
Under the guise of “education,” they indoctrinate, imposing their propaganda on impressionable young minds.
So-called “Gay-Straight Alliances” unite in-school pro-gay activists to promote the LGBT agenda and collaborate with groups like Planned Parenthood to force radical sex education programs on students.
These programs are designed to desensitize students to sex and undermine whatever religious or moral perspective was first planted in them by parents and clergy.
Because they’re natural allies, Planned Parenthood and like-minded groups strongly back pro-gay activists and their mutually reinforcing agendas.
One of the signs that the LGBT movement has successfully moved the Overton Window to an almost unimaginable extent is the phenomenon of “Drag Kids,” which features children in heavily sexualized performances in heavily sexualized settings, dressed in drag, dancing provocatively. Some performances have included adult men throwing dollar bills at a 11-year-old boy as he danced—and this young boy first appeared in a drag music video when he was six-years-old.
Despite limited backlash, the growing trend of taking children to Pride and the non-stop smut provided by Netflix, TV, and Hollywood seem to have inured much of the adult population to behavior that would otherwise have been considered unacceptable without questions. Here, for example, is how the Canadian Press covered the “theatrical world of pre-teen drag queens”:
TORONTO — The dance music is thumping, the audience is giddy and 10-year-old drag artist Queen Lactatia is sashaying up and down a makeshift catwalk in a shimmering metallic dress. The enthusiastic crowd hoots in approval as the diminutive style phenom weaves between tables at the all-ages brunch event, where the Montreal grade-schooler is followed by three more big-haired pre-teen performers, each in varying degrees of glitter, eyelash extensions and rainbow-hued attire.
The crowd falls silent for a rousing rendition of Lady Gaga’s hit “Shallow” by nine-year-old Laddy Gaga, who belts out the ballad with all the pained inflections of the original.
“I kind of feel like no one was prepared for that!” the show’s drag host, Miss Fluffy Souffle, decked out in a lilac wig and pink tutu.
“Were you like, ‘Oh, this is going to be cute.’ Yeah. And then all of our hearts literally exploded,” the seasoned Toronto performer declares as Laddy, a.k.a. Stephan Hirst of Spain, wobbles off in chunky heels.
Welcome to the world of drag kids, a burgeoning scene of wig-loving, sequin-covered, pint-sized showboats with all the gender-pushing attitude and sass of their adult counterparts. The over-the-top foursome who recently took over a bookstore/restaurant in Toronto’s gay village are the stars of the Canadian documentary film, “Drag Kids,” making its debut at the Canadian International Documentary Film Festival.
The film’s director, Megan Wennberg, says drag culture has become increasingly mainstream thanks to the reality series “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and YouTube videos that are exposing the culture well beyond adult-only bars and balls. She says it’s drawing kids who love to dress up and lip sync, and enjoy “being fabulous.” But it also taps into a deeper drive for some to define themselves in unconventional ways, even if it might be controversial.
“It’s an incredible outlet for self-expression, it’s really artistic, it’s really creative, it lets them explore different parts of themselves,” explains Wennberg, whose film is expected to air on CBC-TV after it completes a festival run. “They’ve all spoken about getting confidence and feeling powerful and just feeling more out there and more open. And also they’re giving a message to others that it’s OK to be different.”
Criticism can be harsh, she adds, noting that each drag kid has faced bullies, most notably Queen Lactatia, a.k.a. Nemis Melancon-Golden. Arguably the most famous of the bunch, critics have seized on a photo making the rounds online in which Lactatia is seen alongside nearly naked drag star Violet Chachki, a former “Drag Race” winner.
Melancon-Golden and his mother Jessica Melancon dismiss critics’ charges that drag is sexualizing the youngster, and explain away the photo by saying Violet was wearing a pubic wig — called a merkin — for an appearance at RuPaul’s DragCon NYC in 2017.
“She was in costume; he was in costume. It was a two-minute interaction,” says Jessica Melancon, dismissing the notion that nudity is always connected to sex and sexuality…If drag is about pushing boundaries, that means it should also be a welcoming space for kids, adds Bracken Hanke of Vancouver.
The only girl in the group, Hanke says she loves exaggerating female stereotypes as a “hyper Queen” — a female who does drag.
“Drag is super-duper fluid and there’s a lot to it, so I think that it shouldn’t just be limited to a certain group of people,” says the 12-year-old, whose long pink tresses drape down the back of a sheer dress and white body suit. “Drag is an expression that should be for everyone. And also I like to surprise people.”
Keep in mind while that this column is not referring to adults. It is referring to children. Specifically, pre-teen children. And if you have any doubt that what they are doing to these kids is heavily sexualized, take a look at the trailer for the new documentary Drag Kids, which is causing much buzz on the film circuit. Viewer discretion is heavily advised:
This is obviously evil, and it is obviously exploitation. Every previous generation would have recognized it as such. In fact, a very short time ago the sensibilities of the vast majority of North Americans would have been outraged and offended by pre-teen children being employed as cross-dressing, sensual dancers in heavily-sexualized atmospheres.

But that was then, and this is now. Even if then was only a few years ago.
What about the possibility that those suffering with transgenderism have a brain that functions as one gender while the rest of the body is biologically the other gender? The Bible does not even hint at such a possibility. However, neither does the Bible mention hermaphroditism (a condition in which a person has both male and female sexual organs), which undeniably occurs (although extremely rarely). Further, people can be born with or develop all kinds of different brain defects or malfunctions. How can it be said that it is impossible for a female brain to be in a male body (or vice versa)?
With hermaphroditism as evidence, it cannot be said that if the Bible does not mention something it does not occur. So, it might be possible for a person to be born with a brain wired in such a way that it contributes to gender dysphoria. This could also be an explanation for some instances of homosexuality. However, just because something might have a biological cause does not mean embracing the effects is the right thing to do. Some people are wired with a sexuality on hyper-drive. That does not make it right for them to engage in sexual immorality. It is scientifically proven than some psychopaths/sociopaths have brains with severely weakened impulse-control mechanisms. That does not make it right for them to engage in every deviant behavior that crosses their minds.
No matter if the gender distortion has a genetic, hormonal, physiological, psychological, or spiritual cause, it can be overcome and healed through faith in Christ and continued reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit. Healing can be received, sin can be overcome, and lives can be changed through the salvation that Jesus provides, even if there are biological/physiological factors. The Corinthian believers are an example of such a change: “And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:11). There is hope for everyone, transsexuals, transgenders, those with gender identity disorder, and transvestites included, because of God’s forgiveness available in Jesus Christ.

Hello Rapture,
Your post is really bizarre.
You invoke North Korea and you ask: "Imagine an Asian power arbitrarily divided Canada in an afternoon? Would you fight for Canada?"
Hello?
Seriously, hello?
I think a better question to ask is this:'
"Imagine an Asian power arbitrarily divided Canada in an afternoon and put you in charge as the leader of the northern half of Canada including Edmonton and Yellowknife. As leader, would you turn that region into a totalitarian dystopia where you declare yourself as a god to your fellow citizens who you then starve and enslave without human rights?"
And, um, my answer to that question is "no".
And, further, if my answer was somehow "yes", I would hope that those in southern Canada would do their best to end my brutal reign of terror. | 0 | en |

He never was that good. He wasn't good at all in preseason, and he "won" the job by being adequate. Remember that in the first San Diego game Trevor threw a would be pick 6 but the guy just dropped it when it was right in his hands. Had he made that catch we might be 2-4 or worse right now. The folks in the media are mostly to blame and a lot of them are changing their stories today. Schlereth was the biggest Trevor Siemian butt kissers in the pre-season but his reputation as an analyst is at stake and even he now admits that Trevor is the problem. The other guy that's terrible is Brandon Stokely who blamed the Giants loss solely on the defense. He is living in a fantasy world where Trevor Siemian is a great Quarterback, so it's no shock to me that so many fans have thought that as well. The fact is that Trevor Siemian is another Kyle Orton or Bryan Griese who'se career will be over within the next 2-3 years. | 0 | en |
Justice cannot, and will never be served in this case. Life would be too easy. To me, because the remains were never found, they should have added to the end of his life with NO PAROLE.

So here we are..witnessing the official birth of a third party officially named RESIST-RESIST. This new party is not tied to any ideology, which makes it both unique and flexible. A Party with a nimble platform and an in place membership. It was birthed over these last years with the Republicans being blamed by the Democrats of blocking their work efforts, and yesterdays glorious declaration by Sen., Warren..."we (Dem's)) will be the Party of opposition." Which all translates into the new Party, RESIST-RESIST. It first appeared after the Democrats lost the election and is now the blended party of Republicans and Democrats. Who ever looses in a national election assumes the leadercship of the new party, RESIST -RESIST. A one Party system no longer spending time on the People's business, just resisting and opposing efforts of the other. This new Party could be in place for years. What will happen to America and how long will the PEOPLE support it? That's the question! | 0 | en |

I’ve been a fan of Mel Brooks for as long as I can remember. The first movie of his that I saw was Spaceballs. The humor is sophomoric and obvious and low-brow and terrible and hilarious. I loved it. Over the years, I have watched all the other movies he made, and have mostly enjoyed them all. Whether it was the genius of The Producers or the sheer insanity of History of the World: Part One, Brooks always had me laughing. His best movie is without a doubt Young Frankenstein, which is also one of the greatest comedy films of all time. The one movie of his that I never seemed to get around to until recently was Blazing Saddles.
This 1974 movie was not the first that Mel Brooks directed, but it was probably the one that really put him on the map for the public at large. Supposedly, it is a hilarious, classic film that should be watched by all movie fans. At least that’s what the film-fags say. Of course, having enjoyed all of Brooks’ other works, I expected them to be right. It turns out the film-fags were wrong again.
Blazing Saddles is, for lack of a better word, shitty. I wish there was another word I could use to articulate what a bloated, excessive, nonsensical, boring piece of crap this movie is. But no other word better encompasses all of those things than: shitty.
Alias probably should have ended with Season 4. Rewatching it, you can see that just about everything was resolved. “The greatest power”, the evil Elena Derevko, was defeated. Nadia did not survive fighting Syndey, thus fulfilling Rambaldi’s prophecy. Irina more or less got away, but in a suitable manner. Syndney and Vaughn got engaged. And Sloane redeemed himself to become good. Or at least as “good” as he could ever be. The final two episodes looked as if they had been written to be a series finale. It should have just been over at that point. But they got picked up for Season 5, so they ended things on a ridiculous cliffhanger, and kept on going.
Season 5 is strange for a lot of reasons. First, Jennifer Garner is clearly bored with her role at this point. Scene after scene, line after line, she is phoning in her performance. Second, Michael Vartan, who played Vaughn, left the show. Naturally, the best thing to do is kill his character. Yeah, why not? There’s no point in letting a character, whom we’ve enjoyed for four seasons, live. Third, Nadia turns out to have survived but is off the show, anyway. Fourth, Greg Gunberg, who played Weiss, left the show, as well. This leaves us with a cast including Sydney, Jack, Dixon, Sloane, and Marshall. Fifth, Jennifer Garner got pregnant and, while the show already required a lot of suspension of disbelief from the viewers, people were not going to accept a pregnant spy jetsetting around the world and kicking peoples’ asses. So, the series had to bring in some new recruits.
The two new characters are Rachel Gibson and Tom Grace. We are introduced to them through a series of episodes which go on for way too long. They could have each been introduced in 1-2 episodes. But we get so much boring backstory that half the season is wasted getting them up to speed. This makes matters worse when the season is abbreviated at 17 episodes.
Because they took so much time setting them up, I got the sense that Alias was going to make them the main stars of the show. Since Jennifer Garner was so bored at this point she was either going to quit outright, or just become a background character. Or the other possibility was that Alias was meant to conclude at the end of Season 5 and then immediately spin-off into a new series with Rachel and Tom as the leads with Jack, Sloane, Dixon, and Marshall reprising their roles.
Regardless of what the original plan was, about halfway through the season, ABC announced that Alias would be cancelled. This actually worked in the series’ favor because they decided to scrap whatever plans they had, and tried to end the show on a high note. The writing of the second half was a definite improvement. The stories became better. The episodic “getting to the know you” crap of the new people was jettisoned in order to refocus back on resolving the stories of the show’s original characters. The conspiracy stuff and Rambaldi prophecies came front and center once again. The writers had several loose ends they wanted to tie up, and tried their damnedest to make it happen.
Everybody from Alias
Fortunately, they did a pretty good job. The second half moves along at a good clip. Characters who hadn’t made an appearance in a long time (e.g. Anna Espinosa, Sark) returned for a couple of episodes in order to have their stories completed. Bradley Cooper even came back to guest star in one fairly strong episode. After Sydney had her baby, she was able to go out on missions once again, and the old style of show came back. The only thing that didn’t work was the return of Vaughn.
Clearly, Vaughn was supposed to be dead. That much is obvious based on how he got his body turned into Swiss cheese by machine gun fire, and then he died and had a funeral. But then guess what? LOL SURPRISE EVERYONE IT TURNS OUT VAUGHN WAS ALIVE AFTER ALL AND WAS JUST IN HIDING LOL! I suppose this would have been acceptable had Sydney not known about it. But no, it turns out that Jack and Sydney somehow planned for Vaughn to go into hiding until it was safe. They both knew he was alive the whole time. Well, for Jack this could have flown, but for Sydney it makes no fucking sense. She spent many scenes bawling her eyes out, sometimes in the privacy of her own home, and this ruse doesn’t jibe with what happened. If she knew he was alive, she wouldn’t be weeping at home alone. That part was handled so badly, it certainly made it clear that the writers have been shooting from the hip on Alias for a long time. There was definitely never an overarching plan for the story.
In the end, however, they managed to resolve things nicely. Sloane got a fitting end; he got to achieve Rambaldi’s endgame (which he spent 30 years trying to do) but did not get to enjoy it. Jack’s death seemed sort of unnecessary but his ultimate sacrifice worked within the context of the final episodes. Sydney and Vaughn had a nice resolution to their relationship and were finally granted peace. Irina got what was coming to her. Lastly, Sark, who I always enjoyed as a fun villain, got away and continued to be a nuisance. All in all, a decent ending to the series. In fact, the final three episodes were phenomenally good. They were a definite highlight amongst the series as a whole. Too bad they weren’t so good they made up for the extremely weak first half of the season.
When I set out on this rewatch, I figured Alias would not have aged gracefully. On the contrary, it has stood up surprisingly well. It isn’t perfect. The acting is good but not great. The special effects are cheesy. Sometimes the plot makes no sense. But overall, there is a lot to like. The main story is strong and has an actual ending. The characters are likable. The action scenes are fun despite being ridiculous. The spy aesthetic may not be realistic, but at the very least it is entertaining. Overall, this is a TV series worth revisiting.
Verdicts:
Season 5 – Average
The Series Overall – Good

I reviewed the first season of Shana a couple of years ago. What I thought would end up being a horrible slice of life moe shitfest turned out to be a rather entertaining fantasy/action series. It had this unexpected dark side where Shana would mercilessly obliterate her enemies. The action was fun and the pacing was good. Plus, it had an incestuous brother and sister, and everyone knows incest improves everything by 10,000%.
So when I got around to watching season 2, I was fairly excited. It started out pretty good with a couple of action-packed episodes. After that, the series settled in to a long stretch of really annoying slice-of-life/love-triangle bullshit that was so badly written it was only tolerable to watch on fast-forward. Now, this kind of stuff was in the first season, too, but usually there would be one or two episodes intermingled with the other story/action episodes. Season 2 just gives a seemingly endless onslaught of these crappy episodes. Everything is so boring, so contrived, so inconsequential that it is impossible to give a fuck about any of it. Plus, we get to see Yuji training for about a thousand episodes, and that certainly could have been condensed into two or three.
Nothing even remotely interesting happens until episode 16. And then we get another lull until the writers finally decided they needed to have something happen so they could claim this season had some semblance of a plot. Episodes 19-24 feature a battle between the protagonists and Sabrac/Bal Masque. The fight drags on for several episodes and even though they “kill” Sabrac, he somehow manages to survive, which destroys the payoff and makes the entire thing seem like wasted time a la Dragonball Z.
Overall, this season was a huge clusterfuck. They should have rethought the pacing and story structure. If they didn’t have enough material to keep 24 episodes consistently entertaining, then they should have pared it down to 12 episodes. That would have at least been respectable. I’m not sure about the third and final season of Shana, hopefully it fares better.
Verdict: Shitty
Wolf’s Rain
Wolf’s Rain cast.
I originally included this in my list of the 20 Awesomest Anime of the Decade (2000-2009), and since then I have given the series a rewatch. So, did it hold up to my original review? Yes it did. Wolf’s Rain remains a phenomenal series. There are very few TV shows and movies I would consider a work of art, but this would be one of them. The tone is far more subdued than in most anime. There are no annoying moe characters. There is no stupid love-triangle. There is no intent to sell merchandise. There is no pandering to the audience. The only agenda Wolf’s Rain has is to tell an incredible story, and it certainly does that.
The setting is a bit murky, we don’t know for sure if it takes place on Earth or just some unknown fantasy planet. Wolves are semi-mythological creatures that have super strength/speed, can speak, and have the ability to make themselves appear as human. And no, they aren’t werewolves, it’s more a trick of the mind that humans perceive them to look like other humans. In this world, wolves are foretold to open the door to Paradise, which may or may not bring about the ultimate destruction of the world.
The visual aesthetic of the series is amazing. There is attention paid to even the smallest detail. The animation is so intricate that you can see all the dirt and grime, the crushed out cigarettes, and the wasted plant life. The world looks realistic, and a lot of this is due to the high-quality work by Studio Bones. Just like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, a lot of work went into the details. The budget must have been relatively high, as there is rarely any recycled animation, there is minimal use of well-integrated CGI, and character movements are quick, fluid, and well animated. I can’t rave enough about how great everything looks. I imagine this is how a Final Fantasy anime series should look, if anyone could ever make a decent anime of Final Fantasy.
The voice acting is excellent in both the original Japanese and the English dub. You can’t go wrong listening to either one. The music was composed by the legendary Yoko Kanno, so expect to be listening to the soundtrack over and over again. The characters are all unique and have well-formed story arcs. The pacing is nearly perfect. There was a period of maybe 4 episodes in the middle that dragged a bit, but if anything they give more insight into the characters. There is a lot of humanity amongst everyone, the story is fascinating, and there is a healthy dose of action. Also, this is the only anime I’m aware of where the opening credits play a role in the story.
The story never verges into cliche territory. With most anime, you pretty much know how things are going to end. With Wolf’s Rain I was never quite sure. They always manage to give an unexpected plot twist or simply pull the rug right out from under you. The climax at the end is simply astounding. The first time I watched it I found the ending to be tragic. This time, well, it was still tragic, but I found much more hope than the first time around. Wolf’s Rain is such a wonderful, rare anime series, that it deserves to be seen by everyone. It really is a work of art.
I’ve been working on my Ph.D. in Internet Trolling for the last 15 years. In all that time, I’ve probably read a billion blog and forum posts. One thing I’ve learned from all that is people have terrible grammar. And I don’t mean the occasional typo or awkwardly phrased sentence. Hell, immune from that I am not. Ahem. What I mean is really fucking horrific grammar. The kind of stuff that makes you question whether you’re reading modern English or Celtic runes. It just goes to reinforce the fact that people are stupid.
Further reinforcing that is the constant use of fake words. It would be way too much work for the average mouth-breather to use a dictionary, so instead they type words they think are real. Unfortunately, more often than not, they turn out to be bullshit words that people propagate because they want to sound intelligent, but are too lazy to put any work into actually being intelligent.
My all time favorite most hated example of this is the fake word “irregardless.”
OK, so I guess you could say that “irregardless” is a real word, because it is something that people say. That’s like believing Bigfoot is real because a lot of people think he is. Just because you want something to be a certain way, doesn’t make it so. No matter how much you want “irregardless” to be a cool-sounding, super-fancy word, it never will be. “Irregardless” is not something you will find in the dictionary, except that it may be there to point you in the direction of “regardless” or “irrespective” which are, in fact, real words.
See?
Yes, that’s right, the words you are thinking of are “irrespective” and “regardless.” Putting them together does not suddenly create a new hybrid word that is more powerful than all other words combined. No, you just sound like Sarah Palin, making up bullshit words like “refudiate.” Clearly, you have no respect for the English language. You continue to rape it like it is some poor 13 year old Russian prostitute trying to pay off her father’s gambling debts.
I realize that I’ve probably just blown your mind by telling you that “irregardless” is not a real word. Of course, you may be thinking that “irregardless” sounds like a perfectly cromulent word, so why not just go ahead and use it? Well, the problem is that to people who have half a brain, you sound like a dumbfuck. Just because “irregardless” is a portmanteau of two real words doesn’t make it real by extension. Kind of like replacing a sandwich’s two pieces of bread with two pieces of fried chicken, and continuing to call it a sandwich. It is no longer a sandwich. It is a godless monstrosity meant to destroy mankind.
Oh, the humanity!
So, here’s a breakdown of why you shouldn’t use “irregardless.” Let’s start with the definitions of its root words:
Regardless: heedless, unmindful, without concern as to advice
Irrespective: without regard to something else, ignoring or discounting
Basically, the two root words mean the same thing. But when you combine them you form a double negative. “Ir” means “not” and “less” means “without.” If regardless means you are unmindful of something, and you put a negative in front of that, it changes the meaning. It now means you are mindful of something. You have changed the meaning 180 degrees. For example:
“I must make the decision regardless of consequences.” — or — I must make the decision despite the consequences.
“I must make the decision irregardless of consequences.” — or — I must make the decision because of the consequences.
The entire meaning of the sentence has now changed. You see how stupid that sounds? That’s exactly what you sound like when you say “irregardless.” You sound like a pseudo-intellectual moron, throwing around words (real or fake) without knowing what the hell they mean.
What he said.
To my surprise very intelligent people such as professors, doctors, lawyers, etc all make this mistake. I think they say it because they think it sounds more intelligent. “LOL WELL I COULD SAY REGARDLESS BUT PEOPLE WILL THINK I’M EVEN SMARTER IF I SAY IRREGARDLESS NOT INSTEAD LOL!” Yeah, that about sums it up. People use the word to make themselves look smarter but end up looking dumber as a result.
Take “irregardless” out of your vocabulary. It doesn’t belong there in the first place. You might be an intelligent person (although that’s doubtful if you’re wasting your time reading this blog), but if you say, type, or think the word “irregardless”, you sound like an asshole. | 1 | en |

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates generally to the field of seismic surveying. More specifically, the invention relates to devices for navigating a marine seismic source array suspended in water from a floatation device to avoid navigation hazards.
2. Background Art
In marine seismic surveying, a seismic energy source is used to generate seismic energy in the form of acoustic pulses or waves in a body of water such a lake or the ocean. The seismic energy travels downwardly in the water, through the water bottom, and through the Earth formations underlying the water bottom. Part of the energy passing through the Earth formations underlying the water bottom is reflected upward from acoustic impedance boundaries in the Earth formations. The upwardly traveling seismic energy is detected by sensors such as hydrophones towed in one or more streamer cables disposed near the water surface, or by sensors disposed in cables along the water bottom. The sensors convert the detected energy to electrical or optical signals. The electrical or optical signals are then conditioned and interpreted to provide information both as to the composition and the structure of the various subsurface Earth formations. Such information is used particularly to determine the possibility that such Earth formations may contain mineral deposits such as hydrocarbons.
The most frequently used marine seismic energy source known in the art is an “air gun array.” A typical air gun array is a plurality of individual air guns of different sizes towed behind a seismic survey vessel or a source vessel. The air guns are ultimately suspended from a buoy, float or similar flotation device. The flotation device is typically coupled to a frame or similar substantially rigid structure so as to suspend the frame in the water. Individual air guns forming the array may be suspended from the frame by cables or chains of selected length so that the individual air guns are operated at a selected depth in the water. In air gun arrays known in the art, the floatation device may be steerable in the plane of the surface of the water, but remains proximate the surface of the water by reason of the buoyancy of the flotation device. | 0 | en |
You mean like bombing the crap out of Iraqi neighborhoods and hospitals, allowing a state-sponsored serial killer (Chris Kyle) to murder children from rooftops and boast about how much "fun" it was, and letting American "Republican Guards" get away with raping and beating helpless prisoners to death in Abu Ghraib while filming it? GASP! We'd NEVER do anything like that! | 1 | en |

` :::::Shapiro is no more notable than medical doctors who have had their licenses suspended, or revoked. I can think of one doctor (a former doctor of mine) who had his license revoked for killing a woman with the improper use of anesthesia, insurance fraud, falsely advertising he was board certified when he was never eligible to be board certified, and by the time the state attorney got involved (which is what it took to get this doctor's license revoked in ONE state), three criminal counts of sexual assault. It took 9 years for this doctor to lose his license. It was in the local newspapers. Evidently, this all wasn't enough for national news. And there is no political group called ``Overdoctored``. Would any of you think this doctor warrants a WIkipedia entry? Sadly, there was no news about state medical boards revising their ethics rules. This man is now in New York, and of course, not practicing medicine - it took awhile for the three other states in which he was licensed to catch up with him. Yet this man is not infamous. Why not? If a lawyer can be castigated in WIkipedia for misleading advertising, why don't we just begin a whole slew of articles about other sleazy lawyers, and doctors, and accountants, and.... Is Wikipedia now a forum for releasing one's own dislike of a particular profession? ` | 0 | en |
