" In these cases the wisest course is to remove the contradiction, and permit lower-level entities to determine the appropriate action on a case-by-case basis." You miss the point of those who advocate WO, Jim. It is not a "case by case" determination based on varied circumstances. It is the "liberation of women" from the slavery they have been under by way of male headship. They never consider WO an exception to the rule based on some unique circumstance. For them, there is no such rule to make an exception to. So many people fail to define the problem, and then give a bogus solution that would not be acceptable to either side who actually understand what the real issue is all about. Male headship is not negotiable in principle. In a world of sin, there could possibly be an exception to the rule, such as, when a woman's husband dies, she is head of the home. This does not negate the rule as those who advocate WO want to do.

" In the case of the 3 black athletes the woman was black as well." Actually, that is not at all true. Whether deliberately or by ignorance, you are spreading misinformation. "Part of the public will make a presumption of guilt/innocence based on race. " Again, you are playing the race card here, exactly like OJ's attorneys did at his trial. It is highly improper for you to be interjecting race into this discussion. Rape has nothing at all to do with race. Why are you insisting on turning this into a racial matter? "Did you read the report?" Yes I did, and what these 3 men did to that poor young woman was extremely disgusting and revolting in nature. Normal human beings do not treat others, the way that those 3 men mistreated her in that bathroom. The University had every right to kick them out of the school. Real men do not treat women in such a degrading and abusive manner. Words really cannot adequately describe how low my opinion of them is. .

" In the Trump Era ..." P U L E E Z E ..... : Mr. Trump is not yet president - and whatever he tweets for public consumption by the sheeple and media succubi is mostly unrelated to reality excepting free publicity. Instead of "trade" shall we please focus of the $$$ network that drives our global infrastructure. The economic powers behind the scene are who determine where profits ( and taxes ) are taken. The US Congress and Senate will see to it that Trump doesn't go overboard - they managed to limit Obama's enthusiasms quite nicely. A far deeper issue is the unintended consequences of transfering STEM and manufacturing knowhow, financed by consumers lining up for the "cheapest" whatever. Somehow this feedback loop needs to be publicised effectively. We do after all vote with our money, never mind the usual election circuses and political hacks posturing as responsible candidates to exercise governance.

" In one part of Toronto, most of the Portuguese kids may go to the Catholic schools; in another, it may be the Filipino kids. They are bundled with their own kind. It would be far better for the social health of the city to see everyone mixed in together in a single secular, public system." So it sounds like Toronto is divided along cultural ethnic groups. If the local public school was in a Filipino neighbourhood, wouldn't most of the student population still be Filipino? Ditto for the Portuguese neighbourhood? Btw, have you stepped into a Catholic church service? Folks attending are multicultural, with family who came from all over the world. Culturally and ethnically diverse, all together at Sunday mass. What is the definition of "catholic"? Look it up.

" In fact, the entire “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” protest was based on a lie. Michael Brown did not have his hands up when he was shot in Ferguson, Mo." Perhaps, but the final kill shot was straight down through the top of Brown's head, a fact the cop lied about in his testimony to the grand jury. Normally, when a potential suspect lies to the grand jury, there will be charges brought so that the truth can be sorted out in a trial. But the grand jury process in Ferguson was obviously a sham run by the DA, designed to get the cop off the hook. And that is the problem. The PROCESS of justice was denied, so people, especially minorities, can't trust the cops or the entire legal justice system. And that is a condition they were very used to in Ferguson, as evidenced by MANY examples of police targeting blacks there with no repercussions and no justice.

" In Canada you are entitled to receive any government service in complete anonymity, unless it's strictly necessary that you must identify yourself." That is what remains to be seen. Most government services that happen individual to individual, require you to identify yourself, if not by name, at least by someone recognizing you from one setting to the next. That is the basis of social life in all societies, except extremist Islamic fundamentalist ones, and only in the case of women, for the very reason that the objective of the face veiling is to strip women of any social identity.

" If you are not afraid of the way Trump is doing his job, you are simply not paying attention." Dejain, do you realize that other people have opinions different from yours? Some of us believe that liberals are putting partisan matters ahead of the common good. I don't care whether you like Trump or not. As a American citizen, you serve the common good by respecting Americas institutions. In time, someone else will occupy the White House and perhaps you will like that occupant, but it is essential that all Americans respect their president at all times. If you continue with your Trump hating, you legitimize the hatred of others for your favorite candidates. Until we come together and offer a minimum level of respect for the opinions and positions of fellow citizens, we continue along the pathway of hatred and grid lock to fritter away a once great country.

Unfortunately there are some, that are better at the latter. In today's medicine a starting specialist doesn't just walk into a open position, but likely has to buy into a practice or buy out a retiring Dr.(if they even have to fully divest) This will also likely increase patient costs.

" If the bible is essential, almost all of God’s creation never had a chance." You create a false dilemma Bill. Your theory is bogus because you reason this way, "If we can't know everything there is to know, we need not know anything to be saved." While the bible is the ultimate revelation of truth Paul along with the OT that tells us "the heavens declare the glory of God....." A relative understanding of truth is sufficient to create accountability even in the context of salvation. So we are judged on various levels of understanding, but just because we can't and don't know everything does not release us from the necessity to respond to truth even with our limited understanding. And we have an obligation to "seek knowledge" of the mind of God so that "seek and ye shall find" is a moral condition and obligation to be saved. Man is saved to responsible freedom, not the irresponsible freedom you advocate that the devil sold to many in heaven. Universalism is bogus.

This was the case 20 years ago and I suspect it is still the case but don't know for sure. It is the CPP. For every $1 that men put in they take out $0.50 in benefits. For every $1 that women put in they take out $2 in benefits. It is the most massive transfer of wealth from men to women that I can think of. Were there two separate systems, one for men and one for women, men would either be able to retire earlier than they do now, by 2 or 3 years, or they would enjoy much nicer retirements. Men are, effectively, being forced to work 2-3 years longer than necessary in order to subsidize women's retirements.

If I had to choose between listening to a woman or men like him, easy choice." So , the conclusion is, most or all women will preach like Liu and most or all men will preach like that one man? Most readers here will know this is unfair & illogical. There is a point here though.. Attendance is predominantly related to sermon quality! Does anyone expect SDA women to preach better if they are products of the same higher education as SDA men? Why are so many leaving? WO?? Naaaa SDA homiletics, across the board, are inept & pathetic. During the first revival in American history...George Whitefield laid the blame on the preachers for the poor spiritual climate.

" How did they get ice to melt, the tropopause to rise, sea level to rise, water vapor to increase...all without a temperature increase?" They used a giant blowtorch that they borrowed from the aliens in Area 51 to melt part of the ice wall at the edge of the ocean. They were trying to get through, but the Illuminati saw what they were doing tried to kill them by warming the atmosphere around them with a doomsday laser. The scientists just jumped into the hole they made in the ice to escape the heat, so this is still going on. Global warming is caused by this doomsday laser and the talk of pollution and carbon are just a cover up by the Illuminati. Once they finish the job and kill the scientists, they'll turn off the laser and the ice wall will immediately cool the earth back down to where it should be.

In addition, officers can also use lethal force to protect others, and not just themselves. The Oregon State Police officer had every right to shoot Finicum, in order to protect the officer that Finicum was facing, and posing a threat to.

We know where the child is getting these ideas and it is time to put a stop to "white shaming" in government and all our public institutions.

And since labor is the largest expense of any capitalistic enterprise, the lower the wage, the greater the profit. I am so glad that we have the regulations we do - even as weak as they are. I look forward to the day when the barons of banking and the buccaneers of business are tied up in regulation that are so tight that the fat cats on top of the food chain will need permission from a government official to take a whizz.

" But if there really is a God, and it indeed operates on the basis of sending everyone who doesn't choose to subscribe to 2000 year old rumours to hell as punishment for our skepticism" But that is not Christianity. That is what those hostile to religion like to believe to sneer at it. My own Catholic faith teaches that everyone gets to heaven eventually, though some may need a long spell in purgatory to get the hate out of them. And the 7 day creation is a metaphor for a creation process humans cannot fathom. Try investigating religion with an open mind instead of convincing yourself you are an expert on a country while having never visited it.
