Yes it does come down to the individual, and their choice. Certainly with strong support some individuals can make significant contributions (Paul Alexander, Stephen Hawking, etc.) but they need to have that level of support and they need to have the capability of making those contributions. Most people do not receive the level of support necessary to enable them, and many people are unable to make contributions because of degraded capacity (age, medications, etc.).

The dignity is not gained from death, but lost in the way someone is forced to live by others.

Those who follow the Bible are the moral-less ones. They are like criminals that only obey the law out of fear and will sneak around when they think they won't be caught. Those who require the rules of the Bible to guide them for fear of the retribution of God are truly moral-less for they do not make choices on their own but are purely driven by fear.

That steel is declared as Chinese steel, not Canadian.

Not sure that is in the Bible, perhaps you were reading the Qur'an because that is how it is phrased in there. So you don't see anything evil or sinister to condemning someone to a life of pain and suffering?

I am not really sure what your point is. You constructed an impossible scenario for propagation of the species. You might as well put 100 heterosexual males (or females) on an island, you would get the exact same results.

I would assume things like lying to the Canadian people about his deficit when he broke his own election rules and called an early election in 2008 pretending that things were rosy.

If you wrote it then it must be true? Either that or you are again ranting without any evidence. I don't know what an 'immigration judge' is. We have citizenship judges, but immigration is handled by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada members. In Western Canada we have the following number of members: Refugee Protection Division - 21 Refugee Appeal Division - 3 Immigration Division - 6 Immigration Appeal Division - 9 That makes a total of 39 members for Western Canada, not 2 as you so falsely claim.

The reality is that jobs like veterinarian, farmer, construction worker, nurse, taxi driver, and truck driver are among the most dangerous out there. Pretending that there is a choice to be made is ridiculous. You can`t predict how an animal might react, or a patient, or other drivers on the road. Just being on a construction site entails a lot of danger that you have no control over.

Children under 18 will be paying for the mistakes of older people who do get to vote for a much longer time, perhaps your precedent is a bad one. So the farmer who risks his life to put food on our table is less valuable than the cop who has a far less dangerous job?

Yes, you would rather bankrupt Canada by having us double our spending immediately? Sorry, but I will take the prudent approach of increasing 70% of several years to your method that will actually destroy the fiscal books for the sake of warmongering.

Dearbornistan, a creation of the National News - a well known political satire publication.

I agree, as long as all those redneck hate mongers get charged with indoctrinating their children that generally happens.

So one person is more valuable than others. One person may dedicate their life to saving others, but they are less valuable than one who dedicates their life to taking the lives of others?

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. - 1 Corinthians 10:13 I guess you are saying that God didn't give us free will? Yes, they certainly can. Of course that implies they can be easily manipulated to your way of thinking as well. I see you are on besty's side, manipulating people to think your way. You want to force people to live a life of pain and suffering because it makes you feel better.

Yes, I looked it up. The above characteristics of ambergris (odour, and softening in hot sun) are why I don't think it could be the black stone.

Yup, just like the thousands before you who saw signs.

Interesting, although I think the odour would have been noticed. The other issue is I am sure the black stone has received lots of direct sunlight and heat over the years so the surface should have softened.

I guess we see what a shyte storm a powerful President can create.

So what had Trudeau done to weaken Canadian defense? Would it be that 70% increase he committed to last year?

I guess we will never see another Justine around here Shall I call out every lack of citation? I guess I will call them out as well.

According to former CIA chief John Brennan, Trump is "unstable, inept, inexperienced, and also unethical."

Trump is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. With the defense agreement between Canada and the US, he has just weakened it.

My first guess is he is marching in a gay pride parade.

Who wants cake?
