This conflict has been going on for years but for reasons we can only guess now is the time to bring it into international attention. There are similar conflicts going on in Thailand and the Philippines as well.

So one school board’s guidebook on Islam is edging close to religious instruction and indoctrination. What is this, we have the CBC and Star allready telling us to not be afraid... blah blah blah...

The forum rules are so simple. What part of "Do not attack the poster" do you not understand?

Only plausible way to watch that show here in the US is torrents. Good job CBS for putting it behind a paywall that no one will ever pay for. The first two episodes were pretty good, however, I think they made a mistake "re-imagining" the Klingons. TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT had the Klingons as one of the most well developed alien civilizations in all of sci fi and here they go throw all that away for a much more annoying version of them.

The Orville is a very strange show. I figured, okay, Seth McFarland, it's going to be a rollicking South Park in space. It's not rollicking. It's not even funny. It's mildly amusing in places. The modern conversational gambits placed in a Star Trek setting are a bit weird, like having the black weapons officer on the bridge jump up and shout "Yeah bitch! How you like that!?" after blowing up an enemy ship, for example. Having things like a robot asking the captain if he intends to copulate with the first officer are occasionally amusing. But oddly enough, the 'comedy' works a lot less well than the science fiction. The actual SF storyline, about discovering a 2,000 year old colony ship where the colonists had forgotten they were on a ship, was pretty good. Lose the attempts at comedy, and the cheesy (I think deliberately so) visuals of the Orville and you might have a decent science fiction show. Speaking of which, Star Trek Discovery seems promising. I like the main characters, the storyline and visuals are pretty good. There was a lot of action in the opening pair of shows, which look like they ended with the main character being court martialed. We'll see where things go from here. She seems like a more interesting character than Captain Janeway from Voyager.

Fastest culturally changing country in the world. And not in a good way.https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/the-changing-face-of-canada-booming-minority-populations-by-2031/article569072/%3Fservice=amp

Well not that I care but I thought this repeal initiative comes from the Republican party, and has been on their to-do list since before Donald Trump. That they cannot come to agreement on what their health care model looks like is not something that can be fairly blamed on Trump. In some ways, Republicans are just as much part of his problem as Democrats.

1) Removed the United States from the "globalist" Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal 2) Canceled Obama era regulations for coal mining 3) Initiated the re-negotiation of NAFTA with Canada and Mexico 4) Approved Keystone XL pipeline 5) Nominated Supreme Court justice....confirmed by Senate 6) Started withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement 7) Reduced illegal border crossings and federal funding to "sanctuary cities"; illegals running to Canada 8) Implemented travel ban as permitted/restricted by courts 9) Increased military actions against ISIS; nudged NATO deadbeats to spend more on defense 10) Stock markets at all time highs (see above), unemployment reduced to lows President Trump has so far failed to achieve his stated domestic policy objectives for the ACA (Obamacare), tax reform, enhanced border wall, and DACA deportations (which has been punted to Congress where it belongs).

Agreed....play the ball...not the posting member, regardless of claims made.

It's like the McCarthy days.........except, we're not outing "commies" this time. Just stick to poetry, prof.

Keep politics out of sports.

I don't think what anyone said would make any difference to you. You have your blinders on. Why don't you read some history books about the world? The world always has had different nations and empires taking control of different areas by force. It is nothing unique to western countries. You had the Islamic empire. Also Genghis Ghan (not spelled correctly) who conquered all of Asia, and was moving into Europe. You had the Naziis that had all of Europe for only a few years. The Russians had the USSR which fell apart. You seem to think it is unique to the U.S. and the west to use force in the world. It's been happening for thousands of years everywhere. That's just how the world has been.

Another example how multiculturalism leads sooner or later to conflict.
