Joannasaucedo: For you to state that he was an amazing young man is HOGWASH. I do NOT care that he was a father, brother, son, whatever. HE was a THIEF and a FUGITIVE running from the LAW. What is amazing about that ??????????????

Because God it the source of light - I said that above. If he wills a day to "exist" before creating the sun and stars then it can be, and there are other sources of light besides our sun, you did know that right ? And this is really an issue of semantics anyway. I am claiming the Bible as the source of truth, I am not attempting to prove anything to you as it is fruitless to do so, you are a hater of God, that is clear who chooses to believer her own fairy tales.

Fully Agree. Port of Churchill should be as busy as Murmansk. Oil by Rail is a good start, but a Churchill pipeline to the oil patch would be 1/3 the length (and 3x safer therefore?) of energy east. Too bad for the southern polar bears, but the shipping season is getting longer. Even the northwest passage becomes more viable every year.

At least I have an argument and not a defense strictly made up of "but" and "what about" statements. As AG99 said, you made the claim. I don't have the time nor the desire to spend even one second authenticating your deflections.

Calling people childish names is very important!

Moore would still be guilty of sex crimes on a minor according to Alabama law. At 14 she could not legally consent to sex. At 16, he could not be older than 19. Your testimony would convict him.

You raise a good question: What does one call a person who lives in Arapahoe County, which should rightfully be "Arapaho County?" I usually refer to myself as an Auroran, but what do people in Englewood and Littleton call themselves?

I like the posters on these boards blaming Trump for Trudeau not showing at a meeting Seriously? Is that the best Butts can come up with for a talking point?

If there is one thing we can all agree on is that that is one heck of a shiny table. That dang thing is like a mirror!

I support a balanced budget, a government that does not consider small businesses cheats and yes lower taxes. You see people who have worked and earned a living despise socialist that want more of what they have earned. In nature blood suckers and fungus get a bad name too, don't take it personally.

Justin is probably putting the full force of his snowboarding abilities into solving this centuries old complex issue.

If she wants to meet her family badly, why doesn't she just go to India?

It appears by the criminal records that the more experienced CRIMINAL won that battle.......................

Whatever this story's intended noise may be, saving the world is actually the responsibility of all US citizens and all humanity. I keep expecting The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to move the clock to "two minutes to midnight," any day now. At what point must we tear this thing apart with screwdrivers and pliers in order to stop it and save the natural and civilized worlds? Isn't this endlessly exciting? Who doesn't love psychotic uncertainty injected into their world? Raise your hand if you're prepared to deal with hard gamma-emitting radioactive fallout with as few as six hours advance notice (being charitable). Your government won't save you or yours from that. They'll watch you die, planning their worthless world-ending counteroffensive.

Bragging about you record breaking electoral college victory (blatant lie) is very important.

We understand that marketing German cars supersedes the will of the British people, but this kind of trolling from the Fourth Reich’s media mouthpieces is a little much.

"What I am opposed to is providing "safe" substances free of charge" The only place this currently happens is in Vancouver, where approx. 100 refractory drug users get daily clean heroin/hydromorphone injections at a clinic. (This does _not_ currently happen at safe consumption sites, where people need to bring their own drugs.) This "heroin assisted treatment" regime has been shown to be cheaper, per patient, than the cost to society of having them return to the street for their drugs. This is also true in Switzerland, where HAT is available to any addict who needs it. It also used to be true in the UK, where HAT was available until the Americans put pressure on them to end it. Unless you have some other way to reduce the cost to society of refractory addicts under prohibition, I don't see what your objection is.

R.S.L.- if you can find one - and I literally mean one- piece of actual evidence that supports your sexist and Leftist claim that she is victimized and despises her husband- that would just be swell. Thanks.

The article is horribly uninformed and adds fuel to the fire of hate. Please find a way to learn about ACE and trauma informed care. People with disabilities are more often the victims of violent crimes and the language in this piece makes me fear even more for their wellbeing. If anything this story should be about what this school and administration is doing to educate the neurotypicals on people’s differences and how a community can make a difference. What a horrible thing to read. Those poor students and parents can feel how much they are unwanted by the Edison community. Signed an Edison graduate, 1982.

"Steven - you mention we should "stick with the facts for once." Can you provide any?" I'd be happy to Pandora17: you are a troll.

I've been totally spoiled I'm 45 when I travel for business internationally meetings where I'm the only one there who doesn't know the languagee are switched to English... I always make sure to say thank you and let them know to switch to native tongue when they want ... I'll get a 'translation feed' from a coworker when needed we might be IMing. Germans and Chinese seem to know many ges quite well, I like teaching slangug when they ask how well I understand 'em. I have friends globally now that id run through bricks walls for, many of whom were my trusted translators. Ill ask bring over their 'wish lists' of goods for my Chinese friends in particular but Germans won't turn down a bottle of American made bourbon. ;) I really feel it is my duty to be over the l top nice when I travel since out current President in particlur is such a vulgar unacceptable pig. A smile handshake please and a thank you in english works fine in most places. Google translate is a true blessing too.

The previous position paper on the ordination of women, Inter Insigniores, uses such arguments as "since a priest is 'another Christ', and Christ was incarnated as a man", one could not see Christ in a woman. This has a couple of problems: first, it's the old "women are inferior to men" tripe. Second, it's saying that the laity are too stupid to see Christ in a woman. There is plenty more wrong with it: dubious history, strained biblical interpretation and so on. The overly restrictive rules on divorce and remarriage. I'm sure that it is entirely cynical of me to see any connection between the rigidity of these rules and the fact that they are formulated by a group of unmarried men. The whole thing about sex -- rules and policies formulated by celibates. That ignorance of a subject by those making policy on that subject is acceptable is not a good thing.

Three losing seasons in 17 years. The shut out vs San Deigo ended the longest streak in the NFL. It's not just the Browns and Texans.....but virtually every team in the league has gone through a rough skid worse than Denver. Brees, Brady and Rodgers will retire soon enough...their time is coming.

Stop the deduction for children. People would get the message soon enough.

What exactly is a "foremother" - the equivalent of forefather, but for women? A clumsy and unlovely attempt to feminize a traditionally masculine reference. I suggest "matriarch" instead.

Hmm..my remark was certainly not uncivil. But I'll change it just a bit. Using your logic then...no one gets to make that accusation unless one is homosexual? So...what does that mean about those who make the allegations? That they must be homosexual?

Dummy: And a FUGITIVE running from JUSTICE.....................

"AP's analysis illuminates the obvious strategy behind the Russian cyber meddling: swiftly react, distort and distract attention from any negative Trump news." Funny, I see the same happening here in the The Globe's comments sections.

Best headline ever.

A “No Show” is a bit rude. One would expect a leader to show up and express their concerns in person to their respected colleagues. He was likely off visiting one of his “Offshore Buddies” to go over the accounts “Offshore”

According to the Pew Research Center, 86 percent of Alabama residents identify as Christian, and 49 percent are evangelical. And 99% are morons. I wish we could just expel Alabama, Mississippi and other such states from the union.

Mocking a disabled reporter and then denying it is also very important. Gosh, there are so many great qualities that I could go on and on.

"Definition of discipline. disciplined; disciplining. transitive verb. 1 :to punish or penalize for the sake of enforcing obedience and perfecting moral character. 2 :to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control" CMD: You quote only the first definition of DISCIPLINE. Unfortunately, many parents, etc feel it's the ONLY definition applicable. IMO, that second definition "to train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control." It's quite possible to combine "measured, appropriate logical consequences" with that "training and development of self-control" to help behaviorally disordered (that's the "official term"....you may prefer others) students change their behaviors, develop self-control, achieve anger-management, and learn to function successfully in school and other interpersonal settings. It's hard work and involves a lot more that PUNISHMENT. regards, Gary Crum

The Russians rejected her too and filled social media with lies aimed at inflaming the hate of the rural voters. It worked.

Something must be wrong with you, not happy enough that a borderline sexual predator is in the White House? Now you want one in the Senate?

Alaska doesn't have a budget crisis. Alaska has a leadership crisis. This supposed deal is political "blue sky thinking". Mights, maybes and possibles do nothing to address Alaska's real issue and that is lack of good strong leadership. It has lead this state into panic mode. A proven economic force called the PFD has been taken away from families and has negatively affected our economy. Now we are asked to believe in the "possibility" of a project that has a very low success porobabilty to sell our resource to a foreign company that we are literally begging to pay far less than it should pay. Alaska has to get its own house in order before opening the door to a nation that doesn't care whether we exist or not. The world is awash in natural gas. We are trying to cure our ills by trying desperate measures. I've lived here for 62 years. Their are no printable words that can express my anger and disgust.

"As seas swallow more and more shoreline in Pacific islands, its leaders have begun facing the difficult decision of displacement for some of the 1.7 million who call the islands home, a process that first began on Fiji in 2012." The people displaced by global warming need to sue the fossil fuel industry for damages.

No one needs to earn good medical care. That care is his/her right as a child of God and cannot justifiably be taken from them for any reason.

With the new Colorado Graduation Guidelines in effect starting for high school students in the class of 2012 and concurrent enrollment being one of the items on the graduation guidelines menu, this kind of study has potentially HUGE implications for helping more students meet the new graduation requirements without having to do the time-consuming capstone project in order to graduate.

Heck, I don't even watch his movies. They are so sheet.

They should adopt the Doug Saunders solution....... more people.

My thought exactly. How does someone walk away from attempted arson, of a business that is presumably full of patrons?

Even if the Dougco board loses in court, I don't think you can force them to fund the program. RIP "choice."

Where was the bit in your linked resource where "scientists say that fracking is safe"? And in regard to drinking water contamination, you did see the notations that water resources can be contaminated by fracking activities, no? The EPA report states that there are no widespread issues with water contamination, but does in fact document isolated cases where contamination has occurred. Just as with the earthquake bit, there is no absolute absolution of fracking when it comes to these unintended consequences.

And here you are following the Russian troll playbook perfectly. Hmmm, I wonder why?

'Make America Great Again' is a slogan. When I see a coherent plan and a statesmanlike approach to trying to bring people together to make it happen, perhaps I'll start to believe. Until then, I'll remain convinced that this president is all bluster.

Most of all, their failure to live up to what I see as the call of Christ. What I see all too often is a Church that colludes with the dispossession of the poor or jingoism becomes just one more instrument of the state. A Church that goes mute in the face of massive militarization practiced in the name of national defense abandons the God of love for the preservation of the civil religion. A Church that preaches the equality of women but does nothing to demonstrate it within its own structures, that proclaims an ontology of equality but insists on an ecclesiology of superiority. A Church which sees covering up pedophilia in the clergy is acceptable behavior.

So we should not have approved this harmful and pointless green roofs measure, and gone after other, actual sources of pollution, right?

Interesting that so many people have become enthusiastic about tulip bulbs...err excuse me... I meant Bitcoins. This is bound to end very badly for the infatuated.

NCR continues to "clericalize" the Catholic Church, in this case carrying the water for cUPICH as he lionizes Francis. Every article is about clerics or religious or rabbis!

The low unemployment and record stock market under Obama was not real. Now the numbers are real.

Fully agreed about McConnell. He created much of the divisive, dysfunctional, paralyzing politics we have now. But Paul Ryan and his tax/budget plans are Robbin the Hood - take from the poor, sick and needy and give to the rich, trickle up economics, increase costs for the middle class, ignore fiscal responsibility and only care about debt and deficit when Democrats are in control (and build a wall and wage war). So Ryan isn't much better than McConnell.

Whether he shows up or not, he's just going to do what China tells him to.

If you know plenty about quantum theory, then you know how much of the 'observable' world is false. Are not galaxies nothing but particles? It is also interesting that all stars show a red-shift is it not? https://christiananswers.net/q-eden/star-distance.html

That is an interesting observation, I never thought about the immaculate conception in terms of Muhammad's alleged pedophilia, but if Mary is a 13 year old girl and god allegedly impregnates her, it seems like a double standard where the "god" can do this and it is holy, but his prophet, or anyone else does it and it is an abomination. UNLESS, it is Roy Moore from Alabama and then it is supported by "god's" biblical actions. Is the Christian god a pedophile? Is Roy Moore of the same ilk as Muhammad? Is it appropriate to make the blanket statement that sex or the desire of sex with a girl (or boy) who has reached puberty but is not an adult is unacceptable? We have laws that protect minors now, have our morals exceeded "god's" own actions? If a person believes that under any conditions sex with children is OK, they reveal themselves as a special kind of animal, self aware and self serving, to the detriment of their charges.

Aw gee, I take it the globe restricts anyone one who tells the truth about selfie boy and cohorts. The Liberals just hate hearing the truth. Of course if you are willing to get dirty knees for the low life, that's okay. So slop and pail we will put the truth out, just in time for election.

There's a civil answer to a simple question. You should be ashamed. Anyone else?

...now I read that they are actually environmentally aware and concerned for us all.

I don't mind a good discussion respectfully CLOCKER, I never shy away from those who civilly oppose my views or opinions. But if you are going to quote me, please if you will at minimum have the respect do so correctly. I will in turn afford you the same personal respect, as I love discussions, however contentious or differing in thought and opinion, but done with a personal respect for others. "Mr.Trump's speech..." respectfully is what I wrote. Thank you, and have a great day!

Actually no, it doesn't work. Treating prominent ministers of other countries with such contempt during trade negotiations is political suicide. No excuse for Trudeau's lack of respect. It only confirms what an embarrassment he is to Canada.

Yanno, it's actually a bit of history, as well. There's a great book by a guy named Friedmann, if I remember right. I believe it's called "Who Wrote the Bible". He's a historian, and he walks ya through the old testament. His opinion is that the OT is a compilation of writers/stories from both Judah and Israel. That's how he explains the differing stories found in the creation or in the flood, and elsewhere. There's a parallel with Israel's history and events in the OT. Pretty cool stuff. He doesn't claim that the metaphysical is historically supported. He does show how stories about Solomon and King David align with some events in the bible. Cool stuff.

Another one who never looks anything up. https://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp If the Clintons are murderers, why are Ken Starr, Roger Stone, Peter Schweizer, Steve Bannon, Robert Mercer, and the Koch Brothers still alive?

not just politics. They run out of money next year and, despite what their ill informed spokesperson says, they will be looking for a lot more from us. At a $million a year, their CEO will certainly try to run this "project" into the next decade. $3million a month is about 10% of what the income tax is proposed to be. i'll bet if you combine this money pit with 9 others in the state (yes, there are more than 9, but let's start small) we wouldn't need a tax, and we might be able to get a dividend. It's starting to look a lot like ANGDA, which yielded nothing but a bunch of salaries for people that couldn't get jobs elsewhere. With DOT cutting back, the folks at AGDC won't have their old jobs to go back to so they will stay on this gravy train as long as their half-truths will allow them. Somebody needs to be the little boy and tell walker he has no clothes on...

Look up ‘projecting’, maybe you’ll understand your own argument, lol

But there are thousands of Costco-sized buildings, which is the point.

More an insult to the Hawaiian intelligence.

Posting a video pleading for visible minorities to vote and then deleting it an hour later was disgusting!!!! Imagine the world wide outrage if Smith pulling this stunt.

The GOP plan supports the rich and powerful and increases the divide between economic classes. There really is no such thing as "trickle down economics." Reagan proved that.

Sorry, but PERS has been litigated many times. It is a perfectly legal retirement plan and is just like many others around the nation. It has been revised many times and now offers a much scaled-down retirement benefit. The state and its local governments have ample resources to fulfill the PERS contract with the retirees who have fulfilled their end of the contract. Making good on contracts - Good American values.

The dispatcher told a stabbing victim to wait for police? Forget that. I'd be going to the hospital ASAP. The police can catch up with me there.

Should this come about, I see the small population states suing in the Supreme Court that the intent of the electoral college (to give the smaller states the ability to "punch above their weight" vis a vis the larger states in presidential elections) was being subverted and hence unconstitutional.

Admittedly I've yet to live with teens, but I was one about 20 years ago. This is not a grey area at all. Taking stuff from your friends' parents is way over the line, and the kids would know that. And if they did borrow something, they need to get it back to the house quickly. Whether you talk to them directly or go through your kids, the first step is to make everyone aware that you know things are going missing, in a non-accusatory manner, and then go from there.

That's why I'm always astonished by the fact that legislators in this country would even think of proposing (and the populace of accepting) a federal tax code with a fixed set of numbers that applies throughout the nation. It doesn't make sense at all... It would almost make better sense if taxation of individuals were exclusively state based, and then each state would give back a percentage to the federal government in order to support federal programs and infrastructures. Although even within a state, the distribution of wealth across different counties is often quite unbalanced...

Some seem to have missed this part of the article: “Both May's Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party now explicitly support leaving the EU, which Britain joined in 1973.“

I know how you work, Larsy! But thanks for admitting you find Melania's photos "sordid."

What a sham. He didn't want the job and you still elected him because he is more "qualified" ? than someone who has a masters degree, advanced certification, and actually wants to do the work and represent the people.... he should have to go through the appointment process just like anyone else. He did nothing to earn this.

Ah, I see. So the only way for one to know whether one is a racist is if someone calls one a racist. Talk about delusional. I would think that someone voting on a racist platform would be happy to call himself racist if that is the voter he is seeking to attract. The KKK other racist groups (Black Panthers) have been doing it for decades.

My business is becoming much more tied with engineering in Taiwan and China, i.e., reliant on their engineering services as opposed to just dumping my design on them. I have to learn Mandarin. Blows me away how nice, helpful, and accepting people are around the globe. Wish we had more of that cooperative attitude.

Arenado isn't a Hall of Famer, because he's still playing. The two previous seasons, he led the NL in home runs and rbi's. The former Orioles great 3rd baseman Robinson has said he only watches three players, and Arenado is one of them. I remember watching George Brett and Mike Schmidt play the position and Arenado's their equal, to me. Last year's splits were closer. Yet, most players likely have better home stats than road stats. Using your logic, Clayton Kershaw is a product of Chavez Ravine. A pitcher's park, at sea level. And at Coors Field, he pitches like a Rockies pitcher here. How does he end up in the Cy Young mix?

Stef, can you please explain the meaning of those famous words Jefferson wrote in the U.S. Constitution. You disagreed with my post so I assume you have a different interpretation.

Hollywood is falling down, falling down, falling down ...

Think of the billions of dollars spent in Canada over decades on non-existing treatments for addicts who are now dying by the thousands in this country alone. Until we have the technology to actually do something to stop the cravings, the best we can offer now is harm reduction and legalization to prevent further damage to the user and to society. Addicts are in a world of pain and confusion. Do they really need to be forced by society into criminality as well?

How is it a stretch? If someone attempts to defraud others of their life savings, aren't they a threat to public safety?

PERS was designed b Republicans. Do your homework.

If this were a western province, Mr Fancy Socks would be all over it. But for La Belle Province, he's a total chicken (fill in the blank). Too many "deplorables" vote Liberal there, I guess. T2's double standards with respect to Quebec are certainly becoming obvious to most everyone. At least Mr Singh has the guts to state his anti-Bill 62 position.

I suppose this jerk thinks they should throw rape victims in jail in Alabama. Every stereotype you have heard of Alabama is being confirmed by Roy Moore

Only Ray Moore can solve this image problem now by facing the microphones and cameras.very soon. . This report has threatened the image of the Republican Party at the national level and forces outside Alabama are very concerned including the White House. The standard for guilt in politics is not the same standard required in a court of law. All evidence is "admissible" in the court of public opinion. Unlike Donald J. Trump, Ray Moore took the moral high ground regarding this kind of suspected conduct so he can't use the "locker room talk" equivocation. .. Roy Moore had better come up with some facts to both discredit his accusers and to exonerate himself or he will be marginalized to the point of irrelevance until he can be jettisoned. . .

...please, agimarc, we`re waiting for you to tell us what field is producing even one barrel of oil that wasn`t already producing or already sanctioned when the conflicted and illegally gerrymandered legislature greased the skids for Rebecca`s well-lobbied SB21 fleecing of Alaska? cd-5, mooses tooth, bear tooth, Pt Thomson, Mustang, Ooogaruk, Nikiatchiq, and expansions in Prudhoe and Kuparuk were all being invested in prior to SB 21 .waiting....

ROFL. "Real Estate" now makes up more of BC's GDP than Oil & Gas in Alberta. Psst... You might want to check how many times Vancouver's RE market has collapsed in the past...

What does the journalist you referenced say when you ask for an opinion? "I'll have to get back to you".

Trump is playing the same trick on Canada Castro did to the US after the Mariel boat crisis in the 80s ..flushing the toilets into their awaiting northern neighbor...

I will believe it when I SEE it actually BUILT with BitCoin money. ANYONE who buys into this needs to Google, "IGNORANT & STUPID. The currency, which has a fluctuating dollar value, isn’t backed by any government. Instead, it’s tracked by a network of computers around the world that record when bitcoins are bought and sold, and when new bitcoins are created by computer enthusiasts using complex, time-consuming computer procedures. OK, I will donate $10 Million of this new money called, "MyMoney". This currency is NOT backed by anything, its tracked by Emails around the World and MyMoney is created when new Emails are sent. Who wants in ???????? Homer is all over this one, Doooooohhhhhhhh........

I voted for the levy. But the question now is how to move forward with the pool still available for the public to use? Well.....the NAVY personnel are large users of the pool. Maybe their budget should pony up part of the shortfall along with higher use rates. This along with more limited access may be a win/win for both the pool users and the property tax payers.

Can I play the "If" game too? If they had been sober, most likely no argument would have broken out at all, and no one would have been stabbed, shot, bludgeoned, or anything else.

The noose tightens? Around who? Sorry, the noose isn't any tighter around your intended target than before this speculative article. Short of Flynn's own misdeeds there aren't any "beans" to spill.

This isn't south Florida, thank God. (I notice you don't live there anymore.)

What an inane editorial! In any confrontation between man and car, the car always wins! So when traversing roads, a pedestrian should always be paying attention even when the law says they have a right to be in the roadway as they cross! I almost struck and would have severely injured or even killed a pedestrian a couple of years ago because they were so engrossed in their phone. They were walking along a sidewalk on a main street. I was approaching the main street on a side street at an intersection with lights. The light changed to green for me and I continued towards the intersection at the speed limit. Said pedestrian continued apace totally oblivious to the change of the light and would have stepped out right in front of my vehicle if I hadn't been paying attention and sounded my horn to alert them. If I hadn't the score would have been Car 1 Pedestrian 0 with no rematch! A little bit of intelligence, attention and courtesy by pedestrians on city streets would go a long way!

I did no such thing. Nor am I religious. But apparently "we all look the same" to a troll like you.

All lawyers are required to agree to an oath to be called to the bar of Ontario. Compelled speech. Does that mean the entire process of becoming a lawyer violates the Charter? Does the Globe and Mail actually believe that requiring lawyers to say that they won't be racist is fundamentally different from requiring lawyers to say that they will conduct themselves with honesty, integrity and civility? What's with this use of the "Globe Editorial" to weigh in on this divisive issue? There's an interesting debate going on among lawyers on this very topic, and the way it's presented here, in almost authoritarian statement of fact, is very troubling to me.

Please refer to the Two Great Commandments (on which we all will be judged) and tell me whether they more directly relate to Trump's "ideas" or Hillary's.
