lol, Americans and their preconceptions about Canada.

Here's another, that gets little attention: what if Alberto Pollio had not died in 1914?

Brown rice is awful and not really any better for you. It has a better micronutrient profile, and fibre, but the fibre interferes somewhat with the bioavailability of those nutrients, so you don't actually end up with any benefit to brown rice except extra fibre.

Yeah, well, I get my coffee on the outside, and I'm not going to double back home to take a dump.

"When you were in that coma did you feel your brain getting damaged?"

I love his timing. Just as Al Davis died, Jerry Jones reached the appropriate level of craziness and willingness to meddle to perfectly step into that role.

"Life" doesn't necessarily include humanity as a whole, let alone individual civilizations.

Yeah, that's what I heard. And it's not that I didn't think I would like them, it was just that I found it hard to generate excitement. It used to be like "movie X is out! let's go right now!"... and now it's more like "movie Y is out... I'll see it eventually"

You were nodding along until I "skewed political"? All my comments on this column have been political.

"You, McNulty, are a gaping asshole. We both know this. Fuck if everybody in CID doesn't know it!"

Same here. I still haven't seen Cap 2 or Thor 2... it's just hard to summon the same level of excitement for sequel after sequel. I'll still see them on blu ray eventually but I never felt compelled to go out of my way to watch them. It'll probably be even harder in 2018 to get excited.

Yes, saying that financier oligarchs like Soros and Koch dominate government is equally outlandish as saying that powerful people are secretly lizards.

You specifically said that it wasn't my money that was being spent, therefore I couldn't question whether it was a worthwhile expense or not. My reply was about taxes because your post was about public spending, which is somewhat related to taxes, no?

Which is basically worthless in our outdated first-past-the-post electoral system.

How is it not my money? I pay taxes. It's as much mine as it is anyone's.

No, I reject this line of thinking. It's not "disrespectful" to discuss whether or not a death was preventable, and if not, why it was not. That is a standard reactionary rhetorical tactic to stifle debate. Commenting on a tragic event somehow morphs into "disrespecting" the victim of that tragic event, therefore we…

I'm quite bitter after what feels like 247982347928 years in Stephen Harper's Canada.

Obviously, but the fact that it has persisted into the 21st century is part and parcel of the same traditionalist fetish that drives conservatives everywhere. The portraits of the Queen are just a different manifestation of the same underlying worldview, which is that we should unquestioningly celebrate "tradition",…

I know, but Stephen Harper did make a point of putting up a bunch of portraits of the Queen a few years ago in government buildings across the country. I think that says something about where he comes down on the issue of traditionalism in general.

They should really consider changing their name back, also. Every time I watch SyFy I'm distracted by that ridiculous watermark.
