Yep. Hence why the debate over the death penalty is best separated from specific instances, like this one, that by their nature are so horrific, you just cant have a rational discussion in the moment.

Agreed. If the price of no more innocent people executed is Mr. Roof being in the geriatric wing of a prison one day, I would call that an acceptable trade off.

If the movie sucks, we know it wont be from the director or the acting.

Wait, what is that from? It cant actually be GOT, right? We quit after Red Wedding. I may have to start up.

Any president elected is not going to order the pentagon to stop all military action including drones amd bring everyone home.

Your fathers story - I presumed (wrongly, apparently) that you thought hos story was a good one.

Not gonna insult you, but really ask yourself if that story is one someone should be proud to tell.

Cheating is not okay and is unethical. Period. Both these jackasses deserve whatever the academic judicial code dictates - probation, suspension from athletics, forfeiture of scholarships and/or expulsion. Screw both of them, they deserve no consideration whatsoever. Give their seats to a kid who is actually trying to…

If I agree she is center right and not center left, that doesnt really change the nature of my original comment, which was in effect, thanking the author for not casting HC in the insanely loaded language of the electoral commentary so far.

Well, its relative. Have you been following the US election at all?

I suspect part of it is that in Canada, it seems the oppressed and underserved live way the hell away from everyone else and are therefore invisible. Compare this to say, Chicago where blacks and whites live and work right next to each other - North Side vs South Side. They dont mix - Chicago is segregated like crazy-…

So, I suspect we agree on more than we disagree frankly.

Ok, allow me to clarify what I meant, for the sake of civilized discussion:

If you meant I should have added duplicitous to the list of Clintonian traits, sure. None of the candidates are clear of that particular flaw.

I am not making the error you suggest.

As others have posted, but I will list as you asked me, my criteria for ‘viable’ include:
