Release of three American prisoners as a goodwill gesture by Kim (most likely to prove himself to a very skeptical Trump/world). That's unprecedented, as well.

Boy....if ever Horwath manages to win......she'll be much worse than Wynn (spend-wise). She is SOCIALIST! Ontario will lose business investors! There'll be no more hope for Ontario at all. We'll never be able to dig ourselves out from that monstrous debt.

Iranians took to the streets with hope that the USA would help them get rid of an oppressive regime. Barack Obama not only was deaf to them, but instead, he sided with the oppressive mullahs. Ripping up the deal Barack Obama had with the oppressive mullahs, is most likely just the beginning for Trump. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/white-house-examining-plan-spark-regime-change-iran/

His approval rating is rising! https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/07/politics/cnn-poll-trump-steady-right-direction-rises/index.html

They must be, if their daughter is still underaged. Legally? I'm not sure about that.....but I think they are. Heck! A lot of "underaged" 45s are getting financial help from their parents, some are even back at home living with them! http://time.com/money/4432883/adults-financial-help-parents-cell-phone/ Pro-brith - to try give the child a chance to live his life, that's all we can do. I say try, because not all births end up with live children. Some die at birth. The only guarantee in life is that we'll all die at some point. The young mother is not forced to raise the child. There is adoption. Many families want to adopt children. We had 3 CAS siblings adopted by a rich couple in Toronto! Even if the child is raised in an orphanage, who's to say that he won't be successful in life? You think no one from an orphanage , or from being raised by foster parents ever made it? Though success does not necessarily mean to become a celeb, or to accomplish great achievements in life, here are some that did...... https://perpetualfostering.co.uk/10-celebrities-grew-social-care-system/ Now, don't give me that silly common retort that says adopted children are usually abused children! Abuse happens everywhere - even with biological parents! So......your next remark is nonsense. Guarantee any sort of quality in life??? Who can guarantee quality in life? Not even you can do that!! That's a silly dream by the liberals. You can give everything to your child to ensure he'll be successful, and yet he - or circumstances like a car crash, that leaves him paralyzed - can still ruin your best-laid plans! Guarantee quality in life, indeed! You make the best of what you have! Furthermore, define what you mean by "quality!" Who are you to decide for another human being what should be his quality of life? Why should one's "quality in life" be under your terms of what quality in life should be? You may perhaps think all these material trappings are what's needed to have quality in life - whereas there are folks who view quality in life as having the whole family gathered together to partake in a lively dinner at the table at the end of the day, even if just to eat their pork and beans! Of course, materialistic people will never understand that kind of quality in life. In my experience (reading posts from various forums), pro-choice people (common to most liberals) have this "foggy" view about life. Even when they're right in the middle of living life, and seeing reality around them - they still don't seem to get it. This twisted sense of entitlement always get to rear its ugly head somehow. Guarantee quality in life, indeed. Oh boy. "I beg your pardon......I never promised you a rose garden......along with the sunshine......"

Here's an explanation to that: https://www.gotquestions.org/render-to-Caesar.html Btw, do you understand now that your religion believes in the supernatural? I think.....you should concentrate in studying your own religion (Gnostic Christianity), so you wouldn't be raising eyebrows, and eliciting hoots of laughter with your comment!

You confessed you're Gnostic Christian. Well....it seems you don't even know much about your own religion! You're supposed to believe in the supernatural too! Here's what they say about it: https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-gnosticism.html No wonder you're ignorant about the Bible - heck, you don't even know much about your own. You should learn more about your own religion.....

It never hurts to ask a simple question - see? Now you're like an onion that's getting peeled, by the looks of it. Your simple admission says a lot. I said I want to understand this..........not get my head spinning. You're giving me a headache here. Here's what you said in that other thread: Heck, that's why I asked if you're atheist! Good thing I did.....and didn't just simply assume you are. Now, the plot thickens. Oh boy. That's a real - BIG - head-scratcher. On one hand, you're mocking the supernatural......and yet, on the other it's a basis for your belief, IF - and I mean, IF - you are indeed what you say you are : a gnostic christian. Maybe you just mistakenly think you are a gnostic christian? Because, here's what they're supposed to believe. https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-gnosticism.html So, there. the supernatural is a HUGE PART of your belief - as a gnostic christian. You might want to re-eveluate your belief again.....and ponder deeply, what you are. Wait a minute - let's be clear on this - you do know that the spirit realm is supernatural, don't you?

A full-page ad was ran on the NYT, and Stephen Harper is among the signatories. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2018/05/09/stephen-harper-donald-trump-new-york-times-iran-deal_a_23431071/ https://twitter.com/rafael_bardaji/status/994217340945469443/photo/1?tfw_creator=ziannlum&tfw_site=huffpostcanada&ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.ca%2F2018%2F05%2F09%2Fstephen-harper-donald-trump-new-york-times-iran-deal_a_23431071%2F The attack on Israel by Iran, just serves to underline how indeed Iran, is a danger to the world. It is evidence Iran had held Obama's government hostage to blackmail, or extortion. Iran practiced restraint only because it's getting what it demanded from that treaty.

I want to understand this. Are you an atheist?

Could it be that it's not because they refuse to accept the principle ......but that, they simply don't see the same way? What is considered the "common good" may not necessarily be the same to another, is it? Of course, conservatives and liberals are from two differing ideologies. They tend to see differently. Though they may want what they think is for the best interest of the people...... what they see as, or how they get their "common good" may not necessarily be the same. Like, security. Just look at North Korea, as an example - both parties want a NK that doesn't present a nuclear threat. That's a common ground they share. It's the common good. Well, we saw what method got the NK situation to this point. It's not the kind of method used by previous government(s) - but this differing method seems to be achieving the common good they both (Dems and Reps) want. Release of prisoners is an unprecedented event, a show of good will. If all works well at the summit with NK (de-nuclearized NK), Dems and Reps will have the common good.... which is, their common ground.

I see that as an issue about parental rights! A girl under 16! That shows you that the Libs and the Socialist party are taking away the rights of parents! Heck, you can't even drive if you're under 16....and that's only if you've got a learner's permit! And here we are talking abortion?

May I ask what's your purpose for being........... spiritual?

If you have any clue at all about the Bible - and what the Bible is all about - you wouldn't be giving such an ignorant response. For those who venture into Philosophical discussions - logical, critical thinking is a requirement. Furthermore, you can't criticise or give sensible opinion of what you know nothing about. That's logic #1. That would be like a three year old spouting off about the economy. You may want to use your time arguing with this three year old - but hey, that's your choice......just don't expect everyone to be like you! Philosophy/Theology, isn't a grade school subject. Of course, you're free to give your opinion. Just don't be offended if you're not taken seriously, or if you're ignored. Cheers.

You may be the type to simply stand by and not involved yourself while a person is being beaten to death........but, murder of a defenseless, innocent, is my business! It is our business! Aren't we supposed to do something to help when someone's getting murdered? Boy, if I'm not mistaken.....you may find yourself being charged with something, if you didn't lift a finger like calling 911 when you knew a murder was being committed! The ones who side with murderers - justifying the murders of the defenseless innocents - are AMORAL. In case you don't know what that means, here's the def, according to Merriam-Webster: having or showing no concern about whether behavior is morally right or wrong amoral politicians an amoral, selfish person A lot of them simply don't realize it.

Well....he's your poster boy!

You better re-think your priorities. It is our business to intervene when defenseless, innocents are being oppressed or killed. No one should have the right to murder another human being - ESPECIALLY, when that human being was created by the would-be murderer in the first place! An unwanted child need not have to exist if the mother had been responsible enough to prevent it! If your daughter has been dragged to a bedroom to be violated - whether by a man or a woman - wouldn't you want anyone to come to her rescue? What is putting my money in my mouth??? Because you want all pro-life to adopt? Orphans - wards of the state - who are too old to get adopted should all be put down - that's what you're saying here? What is decent life to you? Who are you to decide what life is "decent" for another person? We all know the cruelties of slavery in the South. How many slaves during the days of slavery in the south would've opted to commit suicide instead of continuing life as a slave? If death is preferable to a life of misery - how many blacks committed suicide? You must think places where brutal cruelties, violence and staggering poverty (like places in Africa).....should all be nuked....... ............as an act of mercy, of course. Who appointed you to preside over the fate of others? What qualifies you to judge who is better off dead? How many people managed to succeed in life despite an impoverished childhood? Many! They all needn't be celebrities, or rolling in dough - but MANY people managed to lift themselves up! This twisted form of atonement for discrimination against women in the past.......... is what's turned so ugly! Boy.....foggy, jaw-dropping, nonsense rationale abound.........and with marijuana not even being legal yet! Wait til everyone's stoned...... Meh. Maybe that's why women in the Bible were not given the role to be on the driver seat. Just look at what every issue the feminist movement gets involved with! Everything it touches.....turns to lunacy!

They don't want to see pictures of abortion....because it bothers them. Why does it bother them? Why are they so sensitive about it? Why don't they want any reminders about what happens when children are being killed? Because, it stings the conscience. They know it's wrong!

https://globalnews.ca/news/4192820/doug-ford-ontario-pc-lead-polls-ipsos/ I know that some conservative folks just don't like Ford. He may be a bitter pill to swallow (for some), but I think he's the one who'll win over Wynn.

What better world???? Will you stop daydreaming.....and open your eyes! How are lives valued these days??? Don't blame it on guns, or knives.....or any weapons! Point the finger at people who have no qualms de-valuing lives and sanctioning, promoting slaughter of the most defenseless and innocent human beings!

Oh boy.....yeah, that figures. You've been listening to a confused man. Don't get me started on Dawkins.....
