"...tragic Oso landslide as “freak” events." The implication is that Oso was caused by global warming? Nobody agrees with that. Geologists point to the geology of the hillside as the cause, noting the town should not have been built in the path of the potential landslide.
The fact that he tries to link climate change to an event that literally nobody who knows about the event says is valid indicates how unscientific his arguments are. | 00 | not toxic |

People are missing the opportunity before us. We need to think beyond this election. The most positive thing that could come from this election is the elevation of a third-party to equal status with the two that are failing us miserably. If the Libertarian party can garner 20% of the vote, they can compete in four years on both the debate stage as well as be eligible for federal campaign funds. This election should underscore, more than any other election, the need for an alternative to the two party system that has paralyzed this country and sold out to the new aristocracy. A vote for Johnson, is not a wasted vote. It's a vote against the establishment and a vote for a better choice in 2020. | 00 | not toxic |
Child abuse and neglect is a very secret world. From time to time I have encountered abuse in action while grocery shopping - some adult screaming at a child or yanking them around. The adults get plenty pssed when I speak up.
I seriously doubt - and it saddens me - that an abusive parent's behavior will be corrected by gifts of clothes or a ride to somewhere. Parents don't admit to abuse, neither do their children. It's usually a learned behavior, passed down from generation to generation.
I wish that all schools would have age-appropriate classes on abuse. | 00 | not toxic |

Keonimay, I might have believed you if you had not cited being on Beau Gritz team. You do not even have his nick name right. It was “Bo,” and not “Beau.” James “Bo” Gritz was and perhaps still is a blow hard egotist, conspiracy theorist and antigovernment wacko who claims to have done many things that were either false or could not be substantiated. Following his retirement from the Army in 1978, Bo Gritz spent most of the 1980s organizing and conducting private missions to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to search for and rescue POW his informants said were still being held. The results? Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Gritz had no credibility with his POW/MIA nonsense, so he turned to politics where he failed at several attempts for political office including Vice President of the United States. He also failed when he shot himself in the head with a .45 caliber pistol in a suicide attempt in 1998. What a loser. When and where did you serve on his team? What was Operation Freedom. | 11 | toxic |

Yes the Church does reflect that, but it semi officially deflects all the blame to gay priests. This is wrong for a number of reasons. It ignores the availability issue of boys vs girls as altar servers. It ignores what data we have from the developing world. It ignores the fact that pedophiles also have an adult orientation and most claim that orientation to be heterosexual, and it conveniently maintains celibacy is honored by heterosexual priests and ignored by gay priests. No credible data supports that assumption, but the homosexual aspect is great salacious news for the conservative press. | 00 | not toxic |
It's interesting to read all the comments critical of Trump's decision to take a strategic action against Assad. It was a remarkable pin point strike, with minimal loss of life. Even Senator Schumer strongly supported the strike, along with many Democrats (except for the usual pro Muslim characters). Ms. Gabbard's position is curious at the very least. We cannot turn back the clock, but if President Trump was elected 8 years ago, do you believe a half million deaths would have occurred in the middle east? Do you believe ISIS would exist today, be about the same, or be stronger and a larger presence throughout the world? Clearly Trump wanted to send a firm message to all evil regimes, that we're not going to "lead from behind". Trump is not going to criticize the U.S. He's not going to weaken the U.S. by promoting the export of jobs. So all of you who are critical of Trump, all the time, on this issue, you might listen to the leaders of your own party (except maybe for Ms. Gabbard) | 00 | not toxic |

This reads like a variation of a "domestic dispute" police call. Put together a few folks who are angry and intoxicated, mix well, then call the police to settle things down. It's common knowledge that such calls are extremely dangerous for officers. Additionally, of course, police officers are not "relationship counselors" and usually end up with everyone angry at them.
At this point it's all "guess work" as attorneys, judges, possibly juries and who knows who else send time and amass huge legal fees and court costs to "resolve" things. Law suits are almost always aimed at the folks with the "deepest pockets", in this case the EPD. | 00 | not toxic |

I agree about the G&M gotcha reporting in general, but this one seems to be for real. There's no denying that she's a very well connected Liberal insider who was actively lobbying for the PMO to give her a patronage plum (recall that she tried for the Senate first). IMO this is the very definition of objectionable patronage and would only have been worse if the person appointed was PM Trudeau's cousin or something. | 00 | not toxic |

One could argue that victims receive a life long sentence so why shouldn't the perps receive longer sentences? And what sort of punishment should the cover up bishops, and higher ups receive? They fell under the spell of the lawyers and the insurance agents who panicked at least one arch bishop in a certain victorian diocese. In another diocese catholic principals were called to a conference and addressed in such a way that left no doubt about the potential for financial loss to the diocese and the religious orders - no word about the victims in terms of pastoral care simply the protocols for the future to protect the church's wealth. | 00 | not toxic |

One of the issues here is that beneficent justice does not appear to be of compelling concern until it is a police officer being charged with some offense against a Black person.

If these demonstrators are opposed to Sharia law, they should be protesting a President whose first foreign trip was to Saudi Arabia, which is the world's greatest funder of extremist Islam —Wahabism.

I made minimum wage in the late 80's. Needed 2 roommates and my parents often paid for gas and upkeep on my (paid off) car. My expenses did not include a cell phone, pay TV, or an internet connection - thank goodness! I skipped a lot of meals. I stood in line for commodities and did not have health insurance. I was not aware that minimum wage ever supported a person, but I think it might have been easier back then with cheaper rents.
That being said, I was unable to get a second job at the time because I worked retail with a varied schedule. I knew other people who struggled in the same way, although my employer was more willing to give set hours to people who went to college. It would be nice if minimum wage jobs had set hours to help people who need another job. | 00 | not toxic |

The powers that be in America and around the world do not want change. That's why change doesn't happen. It's a continuous drift to the right wing.
First, Obama was beholden to Wall Street so he wasn't the left winger he pretended to be. You can't blame his failed presidency entirely on the Republicans.
Second, Trump won power by attacking parts of the establishment and pretending to be the friend of workers, but he is very much part of the establishment. The establishment doesn't want change and Trump doesn't want change. His crazy ideas are mere entertainment for his supporters. The illusion of change is election bait for voters like a lure for fish.
Third, Michelle Obama and George Dubya Bush are now buddies. The establishment is like a giant vending machine that doesn't give change. | 00 | not toxic |
