You can take no one for granted, period.

Yes ID required. As often done in Canada we don't vote for things, we vote against. In our generally left leaning country this time it will come down to Trudeau haters vs strategic left votes.

wait, you haven't lived up to random poster's expectations? for SHAME

i suppose that depends on how you feel about the science of genetics. as an example, the more genetic diversity, the less susceptible a population is to a disease killing everyone.

Genetic diversity increases a population's ability to adapt to environmental change.

True? How could we ever know?

meh, this statement was ridiculous when it was made regardless of what Allen did. obviously whoever wrote it has no clue. "math itself" wtf is that supposed to mean?

TBD is pretty much the only site I don't use adblock.

Been here since 1997. Guess i'm a slow learner lol

simple brain chemistry is all that is required

While i agree that bans are not good for society, is it not reasonable that a company can decide what they allow and do not allow in their website? I don't like the decision, but it is their decision to make.

for all of those bashing social media: what do you think TBD is ???????

indeed. children, and even babies, judge based on what they see, hear, smell, and eventually, understand (and misunderstand). most if not all animals do this. it is a defense mechanism to be cautious of "the other". a throwback to more dangerous times in human evolution. and even though we grow up into (hopefully) reasonable adults, we all still make these judgements. thankfully we have the ability to self reflect and make our minds more flexible. we can stop ourselves from foolish assumption if we choose, but it takes some practice and experience. i fully admit that at times i make judgements based on how someone looks when i should not. I am a work in progress. we all are. we can achieve a more inclusive and less judgemental society, but it is going to take a lot of work including admitting some pretty harsh truths. people love to find faults in society and others but rarely in themselves. i know it is trite but the phrase "look in the mirror" seem appropriate, except we might want to add "hey everyone, look in the mirror".

we are all racist. when we can accept that we will be ready to move forward.

It seems you are also making assumptions. Canadians have a multitude of ethnic backgrounds including Chinese and Latino.

Sure there are differences, mostly superficial. Far more similarities. For example, we think we are superior too. I'm sure most western countries do.

But i have done that at least twice now!

Wrong.

The "American way of Life". What a farce. Not much difference between usa and the rest of the western world, if any. Perhaps the American way is...thinking there is an American way? Get over yourselves. We are not so different. Sincerely, A Canadian who loves you

Plenty of gov money in sports. And a vested interest in distracting the public. It's roman empire 101: give them gladiators so they don't notice what we do.

Bread and circuses. It has been this way since Roman times at least.

the dogs look alright. the people, sure, fine. but the choice of beer is tragic.

for me, this is simple: what's the point if you know there will be no conviction? the dems are wasting precious time and resources. it is terrible, terrible strategy.

i'm counting on Hughes for a big game. he knows how to turn it up when required. i think he's gonna be a monster!!!

this is the pre-AFC championship thread i didn't know i needed. the jets are lucky to have you, spags.
