      If there was a god, there would be no wars... Or of there is a god, and there are still wars/holocausts and genocides then he's a real asshole.

  3. If you don't think deviance is framed differently for black people than it is for white people, you need to check out this article. The social learning starts early: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/22/media-kids-racial-stereotypes_n_3624740.html

      Focuses entirely on property crime, which the author admits is under reported. Also, immigrants are much less likely to report crime to police.

      "A growing body of research indicates that immigrants are not only healthier but also more law-abiding than are the native born and in these ways contribute to positive trends in U.S. society (Martinez, 2006; Rumbaut and Ewing, 2007). Criminologists have been extolling similar findings for most of the last century. ... The novelty of Sampson’s report was less that immigrants to the United States are less inclined to crime than are those individuals who are born here but more that im...

      ... immigrants who live in neighborhoods with high con- centrations of immigrants are especially law-abiding (e.g., Lee and Marti- nez, 2002)." (p 107) http://individual.utoronto.ca/dinovitzer/Publications/Hagan_Levi_Dinovitzer.pdf

  7. Imminent death is a terrible addition to the "right to die" legislation. The whole point is relief from irrecoverable illness. If death is imminent, then suicide is unnecessary

      That should still be the decision of the one in pain. What right do you have to decide how much "imminent" pain a person has to suffer?

      I met a gf for lunch today at our local pub. Yeah, I think something was going on. It was really busy.

  12. It looks pretty suspect when only Harb and Brazeau are charged with breach of trust and fraud, while Duffy (and Wallin for that matter) walk free.

  13. It was nice of Mitt Romney to endorse Barack Obama in that last debate. Please proceed, Governor.

      It's really mostly about pensions, you know. Those who run again and are re-elected will have to wait util 65 to collect vs today's rules which let them collect immediately on quitting or losing.

      If I was an MP, I'd be walking out the door too. Especially if I was in my 40s or 50s. Why wait another 10 years for a pension when you can get it sooner. That's a lot of money your foregoing.

      Nothing to stop you running again at another level either. Ottawa's mayor is happily collecting his Provincial MLA pension, while our former mayor is collecting his municipal pension while being Ontario's energy minister

      Those evil Muslims are just trying to steal Christmas. Good on the Jews though.

      Prime ministers taking selfies, all the time, might lead to questions about selfies. It's the circle of frivolous life.

      But I do agree, they should be asking about the huge lies they told in order to vilify the other guys and get elected, UNDRIP for example. Come to think of it, why aren't the local sycophants concerned about that lie? Anything for power, if it 'good for them'

      Welcome to the society we live in now. Everyone has a camera in their pocket and people treat politicians like celebrities.
