It’s not an excuse, she should have never voted to go to war. But saying she’s *the* reason why the Iraq war happened is not true. She’s been forthright in saying she was wrong to have voted for the war over and over again, but few other politicians seem willing to admit to when they f-up, unless it’s something in…

Well, I don’t think they’re going to suddenly vote for Donald.

I just want Hillary to come out and say: “I’ve had it with being blamed for everything a Republican president did while I was in the Senate. If i had voted against the Iraq war we would still have gone to war because of all the other senators that voted for it. If I had been president at the time, we would not have…

I thought dabbing was a way to consume a concentrated form of weed. I was incredibly shocked to learn that a congress woman would do that on TV at the end of a debate. Then the link to Hillary “dabbing” got me all confused and now I need google as well.

Remind your father that there are multiple branches of government. Voting for Hillary does not mean that he can’t vote Republican for the House and Senate.

If AIDS can be iradicated in the human population, I think it’s very likely that there will be a global campaign to locate and cure all possible cases, much like other diseases were iradicated in the 20th century. Obviously, it won’t happen all at once, but it could be possible over a few generations. Let’s hope this…

Before you get married a relationship is a lot more tenuous. It’s much easier to dissolve and so people are always aware of the fragility and they work harder to keep up appearances. But once you get married it’s all about the maintenance, you aren’t trying to get to a specific level by making sure to do things…

No one else getting a strong William of Orange (III) vibe from the lead photo?

You have such blinders on that it’s incredible.

Stating that birth control “shouldn’t be a prescription” is pretty shady language. I’m sure his campaign is hoping that they can play that sound bite for evangelicals/Catholics and they’ll hear “birth control shouldn’t be a legal prescription.”

You’re not planning on having biological children so what’s stopping you from adopting right now? You should adopt or foster as many as you can support, since by your logic reproducing is inherently selfish, isn’t it just as selfish to knowingly ignore children sitting in “adoption centres” when you don’t have kids?…

Which do you think is more difficult: talk-show host/tv personality or thorastic surgeon? A lot of people go into medicine to flatter their egos. They expect to be treated as heroes and end up feeling under appreciated and unrewarded. Their patients don’t follow their recommendations, people die on them, results don’t…

I actually think the law itself is pretty much bullshit and doesn’t actually do much of what they claim. I think that Canada is more worried about becoming a safe haven for polygamists trying to flee the US, who will then become a burden on the public services. The B.C government has been involved in a long standing…

Canada recently revisted their polygamy laws and concluded that because most polygamist groups remain isolated from wider society and protect abusers by hiding evidence of sexual assault and underage marriage, without polygamy laws it becomes much harder to intervene on behalf of abused children in these communities.…

4 months off? They get 4 months to research and work on their publications. Plus they have graduate students to advise, duties towards the university, conferences to organize/attend and grant applications to write. The real money comes only as a full professor, after you’ve spent years working evenings and weekends to…

I have a theory! It used to be that intelligence wasn’t a virtue, or at least, not a virtue that surpassed other virtues like being a hard worker, being honest, being dependable, caring..... but we’ve become more technologically driven and we’ve lost a lot of the jobs that paid a decent salary for hard work. So now,…

I think you have the best of intentions and that your wife has the best of intentions and it sounds like this is the division of labour that you both think is going to work for you as a couple and I’m sure it will, until it doesn’t and I can explain why it will suddenly become problematic and you will feel really…

How is this perspective supposed to work in a country that has the largest military in the world? Are all service people supposed to be child-free? Physical absence is not the worst kind of absence in my opinion, nor does it come anywhere close to distinguishing between good and bad parenting. Most parents are just…

So, he was OK with that the treaty did not address abortion “this is an appropriate position...” yet tried to get it to include language that extends protections to fetuses, as though that has no implications on abortion. and then when that wasn’t accepted by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he declined to…

My cats have only ever drank toilet water, even when presented with many good options. If I closed the lid, they would die of dehydration.
