What about the teachings of the Prophets? For the Jewish people---it wasn't just the TEN Commandments that were important, but the Prophets teaching HOW to observe the Commandments. Jesus didn't say that the two Great Commandments summarizes the TEN. He stated that they ARE the greatest.

You omitted an important event, the Church issued a dispensation from its own law so Henry’s marriage to his dead brother’s wife was valid and legal; no problem at all. Incidentally Catherine’s marriage to Prince Arthur, Henry’s older brother was never consummated.

I don't blame Nixon but I do blame phony conservaties who don't even know the roots of what they supposedly detest. I also blame republicans for not coming out with the best medial system. Not surprised though as republicans have largely been worthless since Eisenhower. Pathetic. Perhaps you should tell us what communism is. lol Can you do it? Are most of our Allies Communistic? and are they worse for it?

To make water safe to drink in the domestic town supply situation there can be up to 40 odd additives,To clear it, clean it,to stop it growing bacteria ect And a lot of these are more dangerous to human health in large quantities than fluoride ever will be. Im sure you could post the toxicology report from your local water provider to back up your claims the fluoride is the big nasty here, But I bet you dont because you know in your heart that the argument you provide has no basis of fact

Your hypocrisy is showing too.

Rik 1. You’re the one who ridiculously brought up estrogen. It is ONLY natural to assume that you want it added to your water. If so, you are entirely free to make the request. 2. Chlorine added to water supplies isn’t any more necessary than adding fluoride. Water can be boiled, or otherwise disinfected once it comes out of the tap. People who want their water disinfected can easily do it themselves. Why force everyone to drink chlorine? 3. You are completely self-absorbed about what you perceive to be your rights and your paranoia that people are somehow denying your of those rights. I don’t deny you the right to do anything. Demand all you want. I simply present facts and evidence to expose the dishonesty and fallacy of the arguments presented against fluoridation. 4. Exactly how is my presenting accurate facts and evidence being “unfair”? Your sense of fairness seems a bit skewed. to be continued...... Steven D. Slott, DDS

Morocco is a modern Muslim country that practices a moderate version of Islam and yet even they are at risk from radical Islam and taken measures to put a halt to it. "Moroccan authorities have recently banned the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of the burqa – an outer garment worn by some Muslim women to cover themselves in public. It completely conceals the face, with a mesh cloth shielding the eyes from view. The decision is noteworthy in a country whose population is 99% Muslim. So what does the ban mean? The Moroccan Ministry of Interior cited security concerns as the reason for the ban. It argued that wearing the burqa could help criminals and terrorists hide their identities. Indeed, several criminals have reportedly used the burqa or niqab – a veil that covers the face but not the eyes – to perpetrate crimes, including theft." So a 99% Muslim Country that still imprisons gays but says NO to the burqa, but liberals say something else. What an ehco chamber.

Is it only condos w indoor corridors?

Roger Mann1, look around you. Stagnating wages, "precarious" employment, tax-free offshore trusts for billionaires while everyone else is getting squeezed for every last penny, factories packing up for Mexico, university education means less and less in terms of employment prospects, unaffordable housing in Vancouver and Toronto, etc... Do you think Canadians voted for any that? So, how did we get it? Here's the most recent Nanos survey headline: Three in five Canadians negative about the future standard of living (Nanos Survey) http://www.nanosresearch.com/sites/default/files/POLNAT-S15-T766.pdf If elected officials are working on behalf of average Canadians then why are things so bad for average Canadians?

Cost of renting limos is about $150 per hour, and they hold 8 people. 5 limos are needed to shuttle 40 people. Say 2 hours a day, roughly 250 working days in a year. $375K per year ... there'd be jut enough left over to turn my garage into a gym. Maybe I'll set this up ... I'm going to go see the neighbours. Save on the $700/month downtown parking pass.

Our military and their families love our First Lady: she's poised, intelligent, beautiful; she spoke Italian with orphan children while they attended events in Rome this spring, staying behind with them as the rest of the dignitaries continued with the day's agenda. An immigrant who speaks 5 languages and believes in freedom and that women aren't a bunch of victims. She is proud- every day - to be an American. It is such a refreshing change from the last First Lady.

It does. Those stories are metaphors. I don't take that stuff literally.

Don't talk to women. If they don't want to talk, it's harassment. In fact, I guess you have to keep away from men too.

Note, the following is pure speculation on my part and I have no corroborating evidence. It's almost like Trump is deliberately allowing FEMA efforts on the island fail. He is a shady real estate developer after all so why not let everything fall apart so that most residents have no choice but to leave. Property values would drop to nothing. Then Trump can sweep in and buy up all the land he wants so he can develop beach front resorts for the obscenely wealthy and private golf clubs in paradise. Nah, he wouldn't take advantage of a humanitarian disaster for personal gain would he?

Good on the negotiating team for pushing for those tougher environmental and labour standards! Now if only the Trump administration could see the light.....

Trump sounds a lot like Trudeau. Trudeau has publically said that he greatly admires the Chinese style of government.

"Yes, Only after 8 years of deficits, tho". Yo are aware I hope that most of those deficits were run by a minority Conservative government to appease the Liberals and NDP. However, at least the Cons balanced the budget after 8 years. The Trudeau Libs are planning on running deficits into the 2050's with no (current) plans t brig back to balance.

No, he went after EVERYONE. IN. THE. CHURCH. That is the opposite of a specific target. And yes he was an atheist and yes he was psychotic.

You believe all the accusations vs Weinstein going back 30 + years, don’t you? But you give Trump, Moore and all the other republican pervs, adulterers, misogynists and hypocrites a pass. You also believe all the ridiculous conspiracy theories about the Clintons, despite zero proof (Pizzagate anyone?). Yet the Russians helping Trump,a known pathological liar with multiple ties to Russia? No way. Can you explain what real world proof you would accept?

I addressed a misguided attempt to compare natural skin color to unnatural spray tan. One is immutable, the other is a CHOICE. Does a snowflake need a safe space from commentary on the choices our president makes? Sorry Trump looks silly and pointing it out makes his fans mad, but he does. He chooses to look ridiculous. To paraphrase Trump stans: "suck it up, Buttercup". Trump also has spent his entire life engaging in juvenile taunts: with Rosie O'Donnell, with Russel Brand, with Barack Obama, with Marco Rubio, with Jeb Bush, with Mika Brzezinski, with Megyn Kelly, with Ted Cruz, with Hillary Clinton, with John McCain, with gold star families, with Bernie Sanders, with a disabled reporter, with... etc. etc. etc. His unvarnished "politically incorrect" barbs are what many of y'all keep saying you love about him. So save any attempts at trying to claim the mature moral high ground with respect to Donald J Trump.

Calling someone who has been disbarred twice and thrown off of the Alabama Supreme Court a judge is a stretch. Hard to take anyone who hides behind a pseudonym very seriously.

That is the question. But I think we already know the answer, don’t we?

Maybe you should get out of your car more, and report back in 6 months.

Just demolish the pool. Keep the facade and canon. Don't use any more concrete, steel, or rebars as they don't last forever. Build a magic island exactly like the Alamoana one. It was beautifully built and is still as new as the day it was built. Boulders, dirt, and sand are Nature's building blocks and it's free. Having a park would be excellent for private weddings, volleyball contests, exercising classes, suntanning, or floating around in the lagoon-like pool. Might add a Zippy's to help pay for maintenance costs or charge users, too. One thing you'll need to figure out is how to make more parking spaces for the increased users. Try widening Kalakaua Ave and make diagonal parking then jack up the meter fees to limit the traffic to more manageable levels. This Natatorium has been is disrepair way too long. Do something with it!

As I've said before, Island Air was operating for what?, 10 years and they have been loosing money now for 4 1/2 years?, and experts in the industry comment that IA just bit off more than they could chew. Another thing I pointed out; there's a reason why American, United, Alaska, and Delta during all this time never even mentioned venturing into interisland competition. Basically they see it as a no win operation. If a billionaire entered the market to primarily service Lanai which he owned and after doing some accounting as to where his newly purchased airline was going?, he bailed out because again, "loosing money." So, for those trying to coax Southwest to enter the interisland market??? ain't going to happen. I bet you a dollar on it. tisk,tisk. That being said, it's not that I concur with readers that the need for competition is there, it's just the economics of setting up an operation the likes of Aloha Airlines is not feasible. It only looks good from a consumers point of view.

The federal government should seize the assets of the both the railroad to Churchill and the Port of Churchill and fix the railway itself. It's time we treated accessibility and viability of our Northern communities as sovereignty issues. OmniRail should be barred from running or assuming control of any Canadian transportation assets for a number of years. We shouldn't be selling vital communication links to the North to foreign interests.

What is hypocritical about knowing the difference between someone's natural skin color and spray on tanner?

Take country and western famous female singers they had to sleep with higher ups who could make them famous, that's been going on for decades.

Nice... she looks so life like.

You can always spot those on the dole. (the government "T") They will kiss anybody's posterior to protect their rice bowl. (See below)

Please name producers that were chased out of the State, another ridiculous agimarc statement.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, according to some --- Some include Canada and most western countries.

As a female I support any woman who says she was sexually harassed. Is being grabbed by the elbow sexual harassment? Is that the full story? I've known Steve Lebsock for many years and have to wonder.

more and more stuff that Trump swore never happened ended up true.

Bah Wah, you suspended my player and now I'm going to get even with you.

Not worth commenting on (well except for this);)

You sure think about him a lot in all your spare "retirement" years-- I think their marriage is as strong as ever, so your chances with him aren't very good :(

Whatever the average increase is, it would have been more without the industrial toxic waste fluoride, hydrofluorosilicic acid. Politics and big money, not science, keep fluoridation afloat. Follow the money. Industries profit $200 million annually by selling their toxic waste fluoride to communities

It is costing us more than before Justin became Prime Minister and paid off the CBC for their support.

Judgemental music critics that can only listen with what their eyes can see, are more useless than rappers.

" Now the media keeps talking about Donald Trump as the originator of the Obama birth certificate accusations." A little disingenuous . It was Trump who kept it going and spent a lot of money on it years after everyone else called it racist.

Why not prison? Because I think the judge realizes this thug was only doing the bidding of his superiors who have managed to weasel away from any responsibility.

Alex Jones: Texas Gunman Was Under 'Mind Control' By Deep State To Carry Out Massacre Alex Jones, who seems to be a product of the CIA's Project MK Ultra himself, went on a rant claiming the massacre of twenty six people, many of them children, that Devin Patrick Kelly systematically shot was all coordinated just to embarrass Trump.

I think I was very clear, I would like to have a leader and a delegation that didn't exhibit traits that most thinking people find distastefull. apparently you are quite happy with these traits. Remember it all started with the "Canada is back " for which they were roundly criticized and dropped it. I was at the convention as an observer when Trudeau senior was crowned and the arrogance dripped from him. We are like our fathers are we not.

Eventually the Conservatives will win an election and all the fiscal scolds can look forward to an economic policy like this: Targeted tax breaks for favored Conservative constituencies. No debt service because the tax breaks are too expensive. More borrowing to pay for the tax breaks. Taxpayer gifts for corporate Canada. Reduced program spending. Perpetual deficits and higher national debt. And all the while we'll be told government is the problem and it's the Liberal's fault for leaving the cupboard bare. But the Conservatives will leave office with a higher debt ratio than what they started with and be kicked out of office because of a social issue.

Exactly.

Such a cute post-- do you think you care about fake, disgusting photos and approval ratings because Melania is so much better than the last First Lady?

Mr. Louis the hardest thing you can do is admit your wrong, but the best thing you did was own it. That speaks volumes in my book, their arw too many men that didn't have the heart to admit their sexual misconduct. Admission and regret are the keys to rebuild. Forgive yourself and ask GOD to forgive and go on with your life. I pray the industry will forgive you and afford you another opportunity to entertain. BLESS YOU. Linda White (Deyo)

So people with H1B visas don't contribute to the economy? Science says you are wrong. Skilled immigration grows the economy for all Americans.

Let me see if I have this clearly. Spacey lays a 14 year old boy on his bed and while fully clothed tries to make out with him. He is immediately outed, called a pedophile [although the correct term is ephebophile] and is fired from his job and edited out of moves he has just completed. Moore picks up a 14 year old girl, removes her blouse and fondles her and that is perfectly okay because Jesus says so? Am I missing something? What Spacey did and what Moore did looks exactly like sexual assault to me, sexual assault on a minor.

Trump's in a bind here and knows that China is in the driver's seat, as demonstrated by his own statements in Beijing. American business and American consumers won't tolerate a situation that too heavily penalizes China or other low-wage exporters. Also, China now has so much invested in the U.S. and more broadly in the West that the U.S. can't afford to rock the boat very much. So, what bargaining power does the U.S. retain vis-a-vis China? Not much, really. And Trump needs China, perhaps the only state actor with any significant influence in the matter, to rein in North Korea, thus rendering U.S. policy dependent on Chinese cooperation. China will play this arrangement like a well-tune violin. The shifting power dynamic between the countries isn't determined by comparative military power but rather by the very thing the U.S. holds so dear - money. And money trumps nukes any day of the week.

What you on about, stay on TOPIC. I had to come back and read Howie's opine ---- very well thought out and written.

According to your logic. Nothing to do with the OP, which was about Hezbollah, declared a terrorist organization by most countries you would be willing to live in.

News for a long time has been "a show", entertainment. There is much that is NOT covered and the focus has always been to drag out as much emotion as possible. Despite the rather overemphasis on presentation this is better than Mansbridge; I rarely stayed awake for the whole hour when he was asking his mock serious questions and interjecting anything possible about hockey. I too would prefer a non descrpt looking individual with a pile of papers that he just reads through and convey the major news of the day... but... that aint gonna happen. Its better that Suehanna Marchand (spelling?) who records and interview and then, supposing that we are all deaf or stupid presumes to repeat the main points again. Lets have more coverage of the Paradise Papers, not just the odd individuals, and lets not assume that "the public is not interested" in certain stuff.

Too many "they" in your comment. Shows where you're coming from.

Leftists let DREAMers get in no matter how much actual crime and assault they've been convicted in their own country, or ours-- so yes! It would qualify! Good point.

It's alright -- women understand that our heroes in blue have a stressful job and need a free feel every now and then.

Mmmm. If it is 1 person, or 2, I do not believe it. But 4, 5,6, etc establishes that this is a pattern and not just somebody out to hurt another or just a misunderstanding.

For example?

I interned at the capitol a few years back. At the same time I had a class with a guy who was interning for Lebsock. Towards the middle of the legislative session, this guy was promoted to a legislative aide after the previous aide, a woman, had resigned or been fired. I am now wondering if the previous aide had experienced the same kind of treatment by Lebsock.

Stop on Blackmon already. No proof of using anything. He dealt with injuries earlier in his career and since he's gotten past them, his trajectory has went up. So just stop with it. Schmidt took 17 seasons for 10 gold gloves. Arenado 5 in 5 seasons. Schmidt had 6 silver slugger awards in 17 seasons. Arenado, 3 in 5 seasons. Schmidt averaged less than 100 rbi's per season. He was a .267 career hitter. But he did hit home runs. Did you know Arenado is the only 3rd baseman in history to have 3 straight seasons with at least 130 rbi's, and one of eleven major leaguers to accomplish it? Did you know he has the most rbi's in all of baseball since the start of 2015? Over 21 seasons, Brett had a .305 average, a single gold glove, and 3 silver slugger awards. He didn't hit for power.... Arenado has about half of Brett's HR total. Through Arenado's first 5 seasons, I'd say yes, he's the equal of Schmidt and Brett. We'll see how it goes into the future, but I don't see a dramatic dropoff.

The “locker room talk” lie, you mean. I hear it repeated to this day by people who ought to know better. The stuff that Weinstein, Moore and so many are rightly accused of was an open secret for decades - where do think the term “casting couch” came from? - and it was allowed. The men, women and children who didn’t talk about it knew what would happen if they outed powerful people. Look at what happened to Anita Hill. Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice. Trump “ the pussy grabber” is President. It makes me sick to my stomach. Having said that, those who silently put up with sexual abuse and continued to associate with their abusers because they valued a career more than themselves - or anyone else who might be abused because of their silence - have waived much of the sympathy I would otherwise have for them.

Don't worry people this how Trudeau fights for the middle class.

Ron Burgundy the legendary troll.

I don't disagree that what you describe is a significant factor in the rising cost of higher education, specifically tuition, fees, and textbooks. There are other important factors as well. Unfortunately, UA is not in a very good position to tackle this complicated national-level problem.

Do you really want to argue that someone who is pledging his life and love to another is committing a mortal sin? Even if their prior marriage is so far in the past that it has little to do with their current relationships?

Deeeuuuh.... if you knew anything about the history of the Church you would know how many other similar things have been said. Saint Augustine, for example. In other words, the kind of pastors who can face the reality of where their people are in their spirituality. (And in parenthesis, how might some people judge YOUR spirituality in the light of your comments ...)

Have you watched the BBC world news lately? Not good.

Nope. I didn't say you should leave the Church! You can do whatever you want. I said if I held your view I would leave the Church. I personally could not be anything but miserable to be in a Church that I perceived to be sexist, homophobic, transphobic, authoritarian, etc. I would leave because I could not be happy being angry all the time. If you are, that does not offend or effect me one bit

L M A O !!!!! You seem to be very passionate about your 'opinions', unfortunately you have no proofs! Mind reading does not count. We don't KNOW why he shot so many people, it had nothing to do with religion. He went to THAT church building, because he KNEW that his mother-in-law was a member there, and regularly attended, simple. Please don't make stuff up to bolster your 'story'.

Why is Katherine Kealoha's boss, Keith Kaneshiro, so quiet on this matte? Just asking.

So that's what, two out of HOW MANY? Seems to me the Dems are WAY ahead!

I am fully aware of my surroundings. - middle of a crosswalk; crossing safely at a corner when a car pulls up; did jump back on the "green light for pedestrians" as the car ran the red light. What do you do when someone just puts their car in reverse, while you are sitting behind them in traffic? I am still alive. Maybe try reading my comment more carefully.

There certainly are still polar bears up there even if they are in some decline. Also tons of belugas. People also go up there for aurora viewing. Canada's North is a sovereignty issue - we have a long and sad history of letting it fend for itself with the result that the Americans have several times just marched in and executed projects they wanted done. Northern communities are left to fend for themselves. Our icebreaker fleet is at the end of its service life, beyond in the case of many vessels, and only one has been ordered over the last many years, ordered by Harper and then shelved indefinitely because the yard that was supposed to build both the military support vessels and the icebreaker 'fessed up that it couldn't do both at the same time. Meanwhile, Russia is very active in its North and has modern icebreaking ships all over the Arctic and the Chinese are running luxury cruise ships through the North-West Passage.

Well...at one point, everyone thought we were churning out too many students graduating law school...SURPRISE! There will probably be an announcement of a shortage of attorneys in the next three years.

History is interwoven throughout the Torah, Bible and Quran. Of course that history is coming from the perspectives of the authors and the translators. They are neither mythology or literal truth. Thank you for the book recommendation.

I hear that all the time 😉

HI: Should any added tax move made by the government come as a surprise? Legalizing cannabis is nothing but a tax grab behind some smoke and mirrors. There will be an added tax on chips and brownies next. Go long on Frito-Lay(subsidiary of PepsiCo).

Luckily most GOP voters are hIGHLY educated and less likely to be influenced by unsubstantiated claims meant to feed off of their fragile ethos....wait, no, that's not the case at all. Crap

Hahaha lipstick on a pig. It's still a part of town you go if you want to get mugged, raped, then shot in the back.

When condos are inspected or preplanned these things are part of the process. There should be some written documentation somewhere. The Associations are really the responsible party. HFD has a part in that also!

“I thought it was a tourist thing, I thought it was some attraction or something,” Lame!

Alabama ... enough said.

If these people really cared about the dental health of their community They would look at the hundreds of peer reviewed papers and articles, printed, and the thousands of cities and towns worldwide that are enjoying the advantages of Community Water Fluoridation, Instead of denieing this to the people of this community, because of some misguided rant from a rubbish expert, and being to lazy to do their own research Love to see the dental stats in 5 years time There are many towns and cities that have been down this road and reversed the decision once the decay levels skyrocket, In the mean time they leave a whole section of the community with rampant tooth decay and noone is accountable for the damage. All the anti fluoride lot run and hide

Maybe we should nationalise the railroad?

Why? Because it’s true. As for it “working” - why is Clarence Thomas a Supreme Court Justice and Trump President? Because Republicans don’t care about right conduct. Cheers -

And what does "progressive" mean for you?

Um...Doug, Amazons current HQ has a green roof dipsh—.

Love it... this thing is a trader's dream. Just remember it "corrected" from $28 to 50 cents and everyone counted it out then. See you at $10000!

So you have a religious state Saudi Arabia (Sunni Muslim), Iran another religious state (Shitte Muslim) and a Jewish created state named Israel. What year is it 2017 its not 700 AD. Canada and the west should have a serious talk with all three parties and progress to 2017.

Those with mental health issues need to address their mental health issues and learn how to demonstrate appropriate/acceptable behaviors before being allowed in a classroom. If not, they will be unable to make positive contributions to society.

Yeah, I do not know what's happening now--but when I had two package stores, they constantly sent in minors and if you sold to them you could lose your license and at the very least you were fined astronomical amounts of money. The ABC Board (who supposedly controls liquor within this state) has jurisdiction over sales to minors--I wonder where they are in this situation. Oh yeah---they are stopping a restaurant/bar from opening in Big Lake. 5,150 people want it, and 18 people do not---bureaucracy at it's worst.

"Well there we go. And then the people on this site can just leave the Church and stop complaining about it. I mean seriously, it must be exhausting to be a part of an institution that constantly makes you angry." For the record, I would post the above comment on a website like Church Militant or LifeSiteNews. Those communities are reflections of NCR in that they are also "anger factories" just on the other side of the spectrum.

“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Voting is similar. You can make it very, very easy to vote, but some people still won’t do it. Having control freaks get on their case about it is not going to help one bit. Those nonvoters will come around some day when they figure out that it really does make a difference. It’s their choice when to do that, not anyone else’s.

bannon don't think cuban is white enough for his aryan voter.

There goes one of your favourite adjectives again ... "progressive".

I suppose a camera lens is like ‘free food’ or ‘open bar’ to guarantee some people to show up... ‘There will be pictures taken....’

China produced nearly a third of the total global CO2 emissions in 2015. Any large scale effort to reduce their output benefits China and the rest of the planet.

That was sarcasm, wasn't it?

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference, in my honest opinion!
