I had an ex fiancé who was not into sex. We sort of had something akin to a monogomish relationship, albeit it was more blindeyeism. She would never question why all my friends were female and I was even intimate with one while she was downstairs.

It is misleading to state that the bill restricts abortion rights. It merely leaves the law at the status quo. In other words it does not subtract from any existing rights; rather it fails to create a discretionary, state-funded access to abortion in a new context.

This is not unprecedented. In Canada we have seen this with Aboriginal treaty rights and the Indian Act. Both are supposed to protect our people, yet the government uses it to fuck us over.

I have Asperger's Syndrome (a form of high-functioning autism) so I love what this mom had to say. I can't read social nuances as well as others, notwithstanding I understand on an intellectual level. No does not always mean no; the corollary is yes does not always mean yes. There is a reason the concept of consent in…

His criminal past is completely irrelevant to his winning the lottery. What are you suggesting? Someone who has a criminal record should not be able to buy lottery tickets? Either you execute these people, pay their welfare for the rest of their lives or allow them to re-integrate into society.

I thought $15 and hour was standard? Even as a teenager back in the 1990s, I made more than that. I know for a fact when I was in Yellowknife, McDonalds employees were paid $20 an hour with full benefits, though salaries are inflated in the far north.

Yes, and I agreed that this particular case she should have been accommodated. I just find the US laws on maternity (and paternity) leave very bizarre. In Canada men take almost as much parental leave as women. Ironically the case where they set a reasonable limit was a man who kept having kids with his stay at home…

Reasonable will always turn on the facts of the situation. One kid may be unreasonable. Five may be in another. Again, it depends on the nature of the employment, the ability of the employer to accommodate and the needs of the employee.

Re-read my post. I said a serial octa-mom.... Not one who has octuplets.

This is less a gender case than how Americans see rights. It is an "all or nothing" game. In Canada there is qualifier in our notion of rights. A balancing act so to speak. This woman's case would have been easily accommodated. However, we don't accommodate "octa-moms" who decide to have eight serial pregnancies. We…

It is my nomadic nature. I am a fugitive from the law and wanted in multiple countries. On top of that the places I do reside have residents with significant poverty. I am in to both men and women, and in both cases it is really hard to even be friends, let alone lovers with them as there is always that power…

I would agree but for the interextricably intertwined issue of child support. Suppose mommy makes a choice to consume ten pounds of crack-cocaine during pregnancy, gives birth to a child with expensive medical needs, the "my body, my choice" goes out the window and all the sudden the onus shifts to the dude who in law…

It is ironic. When I lived in Canada and other first-world countries, I was simply ignorant of what women face everyday there because I am male ... But now that I have been living in third world countries and am a bi-racial Aboriginal/white dude, I can empathize with the feeling of not feeling safe to do something as…

I am confused. Is this applicable only in the US? I had an ex who worked at Starbucks in Ottawa and there were plenty of her colleagues with tattoos, florescent hair and all sorts of rings, bracelets and shit in the their face ..... Is it just me or are Americans stuck in the Victorian Era when it comes to.... well…

I swear on a stack of bibles that I experience the same level of fear and discomfort here in Belize City. I am Aboriginal (Native American) by heritage, but look sufficiently white to be seen by the locals as a walking ATM machine. I can't walk to and from Brodies Supermarket (about a 20 minute walk from where I…

Distasteful, yes. But it was a private convo between the officers. Pursuant to what section of what Act did they violate? Even in Canada where cops are subject to a much more stringent Code of Conduct, I would be hard-pressed to find any violation. Had this been an interaction with a member of the public, it would…

I too am part Aboriginal and think that political correctness has gone too far. Nothing wrong with wearing traditional or perceived traditional clothes. Halloween costumes are bound to offend at least someone. Hell, there was a call to abolish witch costumes because they were "insensitive" to Wiccans. Give me a break.…

All the evidence establishes is that he is into BDSM. These allegations will never be substantiated and will unlikely see the inside of a court room. Therefore, it is profoundly unfair to conclude he his guilty in the media.

Of course no one cares about my boner... I haven't had one since Bush was in office, and I won't say which one ;) ..... I am an alcoholic, coke head who pops Valium like skittles. Even I don't care about boners these days ;)

I stopped tanning in 2008. I am not bullshitting .... I actually burned my wee-wee. It was so painful and I got blisters. Didn't realize you shouldn't tan drunk ... I stayed in the tanning bed five times longer than I was supposed to and the attendant was some stoner dude who didn't turn off the machine from max power…
