You know the local situation and I'm confident that you're reading this not only charitably but also correctly. A priest friend of mine, ordained more than forty years ago, observed recently that when he was ordained, if he had peered 40 years in the future, he might have expected to see himself as pastor of a large parish with three curates assisting him.  Instead, he is pastor of three parishes with no curates assisting him. (he does have a \"Mass priest\" assisting on weekends.)\nThe bishop's primary job -- almost his only job -- is to provide for the celebration of the Mass and sacraments for his people.

The math is shocking.\n\nWe too have moved. A full year of mat leave, while available, is simply not an option in some fast-moving professions.

This as really no different that when your gas vehicle's engine breaks down.  However, the real benefit for me is the gas savings.  Because I have a PV to generate the electricty to charge my EV I save on not having to pay for the electricity or in your case gas.  On the low side I figure I save about $4,000 annually in gas.  Multiply that by 6 years (again the low side of the expected life of the battery) and I have saved $24,000.

Generally, I find these shows to be biased to the point where no attempt seems to be made to even appear to strive for balanced and objective coverage of the issues. Guests seem to be selected mainly to agree with the host and each other, and the occasional guest who disagrees with the rest is there to be yelled at, ridiculed or rudely interrupted.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Curiously, Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels, experienced an easier death than seemingly all others who died as crucified.  According to the Gospels... Jesus's death was hastened (and, some would say 'made easier) by a sword in his side causing an immediate death.   A 'normal crucifixion' was one that could go on for days as the body slowly suffocated, endured jeers, sun and what had to be a raging thirst.  Perchance, the Writers minimized the Lord's  suffering so as to force it into a ''fulfillment of the Prophets'' instead of the murder of an innocent man.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Taxes or the net fiscal situation is actually negatively impacted by immigration, it costs Canadians in government spending to bring in and have immigration, more than they contribute to the economy in taxes etc, for one because we are supporting more people with our generous Canadian health and other programs. It's very simple to understand, if you had a company and 7% the people on payroll not doing anything and 10% of the people only doing half as much as they can, would you bring on more people?

The world is STILL being impacted by Bergdahl and Obama, with the five exchanged Taliban commanders in Qatar impacting Qatar's perceived support for terrorism and the current Gulf States' Qatar blockade.\n\nOn 1 Jun 2014, the Obama Adminstration spinning the scandal investigation, saying Bergdahl \"Served with honor and distinction\". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdGe0uP7W-c", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Rather than granting \"ownership\" of unceded lands to a First Nation, it instead granted a limited form of title giving First Nations on untreatied lands the same rights as First Nations on treatied lands. The problem appears to be that the author confuses the concepts of ownership and title. Title doesn't necessarily confer ownership but can imply the existence of limited rights and/or shared interests, in the latter instance in this case between a First Nation and the Crown. Under the current Canadian Constitution, First Nations simply can't acquire outright ownership and control of their lands nor can they obtain an effective veto over development decisions, although they have a right to be consulted.

We have a choice to make between two very unpopular candidates, one has a world of experience in government, both nationally and internationally, and the other has absolutely no experience in governing anything, and has proven time and time again that he is nothing more than a mentally unstable, lying narcissistic egomaniac without any connection whatsoever to reality.

Again, the only thing you guarantee with POBs is what you have to pay bondholders.\n\nFinancial accounting 101 tells us that, unless you have a fixed rate security that is guaranteed by the US Gov and you hold it to maturity, your future earnings are anything but certain. So a snake-oil salesman pitching an 8% return on our investment is a liar. \n\nNow, if the bankers are so certain we can earn 8%, perhaps they would be willing to put that in writing and put their balance sheet at risk--like they are asking us to do.

Of course there is a lot of variation and other reasons why inflation might be lower or higher in any given month, hence why averaging out over a longer of period of time can help \"smooth things out\".\n\nSill it is not unreasonable to guess that Ontario's Cap 'n Trade added maybe 0.6 percentage points to inflation, averaging inflation here vs. Manitoba and Quebec.  So if your family's after-tax income is $50,000/year the cap'n'trade tax might be costing you about $300/year?\n\nActually the cap'n'trade tax is expected to be a bit regressive, so with $50,000/year income it probably costs more than $300.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

It may have taken time to negotiate his surrender, but it would have been time well-spent.  If, in fact, he had a gun and had threatened the girlfriend, it makes no sense to me to say, in essence, \"Hey, we're leaving now....see you later.\"  It seems there's a lot of \"middle ground\" between \"killing the guy\" and walking away from the scene.......What do you think?  thanks, Gary", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

I have heard them say that cutting government jobs is not the answer, either.

As ISER has said, with managed budget reductions over 3-5 years, and use of the ER to fill the $2-3 billion gaps during that process, Alaska will be in the black again.  Since the International Energy Agency is forecasting $80/bbl oil by 2021, the crisis is averted.

Following Kiszla and Connelly's path the Nuggets are firmly on course to NBA purgatory. Bouncing around the 8th to 5th seed, some years just missing the playoffs. Maybe once in a while pulling off a first round upset in the playoffs. But absent high draft picks no chance of landing a LeBron or Durant. Connelly has one gold star on his resume so far - Jokic and one wasted 7th round pick in Mudiay. The jury is  still out on Murray. In a draft that is deep, even if weak at the top, the Nuggets need to select a player who will be a starter for them within two seasons.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

I think we are doing just about right, no need to react to what the IIO is doing south of the border. Our national interest is to keep us above water and Trudeau doing OK.

During the 20th Century, one-hundred pervasive years, godless pragmatism, humanism, secularism, and statist philosophy have, by conspiracy, mutated the republic into the same type of heathen and pagan civilization which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah became over hundreds of years.  Ten people in those cities of millions of human inhabitants could not be found who obeyed the natural holy laws of God and eschewed evil.

So the state came into being to protect itself from theft and aggression by stateless  tribes.  My point is that mankind and his agggressive nature predates all of civilization.  Nihilists believe the state is the culprit and want a pre-state world. But man himself is the culprit.

Evolutionary processes give rise to biodiversity at every level of biological organisation, including the levels of species, individual organisms, and molecules.\n\"Repeated formation of new species (speciation), change within species (anagenesis), and loss of species (extinction) throughout the evolutionary history of life on Earth are demonstrated by shared sets of morphological and biochemical traits, including shared DNA sequences. These shared traits are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct a biological 'tree of life' based on evolutionary relationships (phylogenetics), using both existing species and fossils. The fossil record includes a progression from early biogenic graphite, to microbial mat fossils, to fossilised multicellular organisms.\"\nNo scientific evidence?", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Also despite some news stories describing the fully loaded container ship Crystal making 'quick' or 'sudden' turns, including a 180 degree maneuver, it is physically impossible for such a massive container ship to make ANY quick or sudden maneuvers or sharp turns while running at sea.  For a US military destroyer with the latest in radar, sonar, etc for superior detection of ANY potential hostile or otherwise approaching ship or aircraft, etc. it is clear the US captain & his commanding officers are automatically at fault.  Like the Exxon Valdez that collided with a stationary Alaskan reef, the collision occurred late a night, & most likely the commanding officers where sleeping, leaving inexperienced people in charge to run and navigate the ship .  Because 7 US servicemen died, not only should the officers in charge be dishonorably discharged, some need to spend a couple of years in military prison as well.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

That ascribed motivation is very theoretical methinks, but handy if you are trying to come up with a way to deal with the reality that academics tend to have big, smart, critically-thinking problem-solving brains and as a result they often do not tolerate the emotional stupidity that is rampant in the Trump age.\n\nIf conservatives can't handle being bombarded by reason & logic, that's sad, but let's not blame it on some drive of academics to make stupid people feel stupid.  Stupid people should naturally feel stupid when called out, but we live in a new age where people believe every thought is equally valid.

The obvious rebuttal is that if there are many more times the number of hikers than bikers, then even if biking is more dangerous there could still be fewer injured bikers than hikers. And yet the odds of being injured by a bear would be higher for bikers than hikers. As I attempted to point out, there are no national or statewide figures for numbers of people who hike or bike in bear country, so comparisons are difficult, although in one instance reported by Herrero in Banff, it was evident that bikers were more at risk.

{"text": "Good suggestions. Let me add two comments.\n\nFirst,  Oxycontin is not \"long-acting.\" It has \"delayed absorption.\" The medication itself (oxycodone) is no more long-acting in this formulation than in any other. This has practical importance. Once the medication is fully absorbed, it will be eliminated at a more rapid rate than a truly long-acting medication. In other words, it appears to be long-acting up to the point of full absorption (and time to full absorption varies a lot), and then it becomes shorter acting. The result is a more rapid onset of withdrawal symptoms, including hyperalgesia, and greater addictive potential than with a teuly long acting drug.\n\nSecond point is that if lower doses are better for many patients, then what about the lowest dose? The lowest risks of constipation, sedation, overdose, addiction and other problems are when opioid drugs are avoided entirely. Learning how to do so in practice, whenever possible, should be the top priority in ending this epidemic.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

The Muslim population stuck to religion as an identity (nationalism came in much later, and is an amorphous concept). \n\nThe ones who stick to their religion don't integrate, or more importantly get a modern education. That begins a vicious circle of social immobility, and sticking to religion. However, looking down on someone's religion does not make them less religious. Accepting them does. India, for instance, allows religious laws to apply for marriage and inheritance, if a Muslim chooses to (there are civil laws, which apply according to ones choice). \n\nAlong with the vote, that is a large reason that ISIS has more members from most western countries, despite India having 180 million Muslims (France has 5 million Muslims, and over 1000 members in ISIS, India has 60; Canada has over 100, USA has over 300).", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

British silver drained into China.  Ending their tea addiction wasn't an option for the British, so they cranked up the opium trade from India to China, demanding payment in silver.  Opium was known but not widely used in China.  The British pushed it like corporate drug dealers (backed by warships) and the plague spread.  The First Opium War started when the governor of Canton forbade further importation of opium and seized British cargoes in violation.  The opium scourge continued throughout the century.  Toward its end, it was estimated that about 25% of the male population was addicted to opium.  Rule Britannia.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

This goes back to the beginning, when smaller states were wary of giving up \"state's rights\" to other states with higher populations.  Seems reasonable.    \n\nSimply put, the Americans value regional balance over one state having disproportionate power.

It is an illusion that America has excellent health care.  The easy standard problems will be taken care of under pretty much any system.  The harder less common problems are not handled well now and treatment could only improve.  One example of possible radical change is computerization.  Symptoms are symptoms.  A lightly trained person could assist in gauging and interpreting symptoms and feed them together with standard blood tests results into advanced diagnostic computer programs.  The computers would order additional tests if diagnosis is uncertain.  We have the technology to computerize diagnosis now, but the medical industry stands in the way it would cost them money.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Do you know or care?\n\nYour editorial reminds me of the weasel-worded answer I got recently from a city elected official asking for justification to continue Rail construction. No recognition of the malfeasance or the broken promises or the inability to manage a project of this magnitude. Add that with the threat of having to return \"billions of dollars\" to whomever and the justification for Rail has become nothing more than a collection of negative phrases.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Surely it makes sense to lend money to seniors to allow them to stay in their own home instead of warehousing them in expensive facilities. If more lenders offered this kind of mortgage perhaps the interest rate could come down. What is needed is a complete rethink of risk management for reverse mortgage portfolios.

However, they should not be able to force others to bear any part of the costs of that decision. Tobacco should be taxed at a rate to cover all health costs for its use.

Mo Brooks has never run state wide and is not well known south of Cullman.  He still managed to get about 20% of the vote, in spite of all the negative ads Rove and McConnell paid for with lobbyist money. Roy Moore has a strong base of support. They will come to the polls to vote in the run off. Most of his voters are Trump supporters. Luther is a weak candidate. This author is clueless and delusional. Trump is strong here in Alabama. McConnell and Rove are not. Luther is McConnell's candidate and we know it.

Also, I know several people who won't use them because of the current population of miscreants that have taken up residency downtown. \n\nAnother factor to consider about parking a block or two away from the apartment is the unpredictability of Oregon weather, tenants won't  want to make multiple trips carting items from their car in the rain,  they'll park on the street by the building.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

The only regulating is in Medicare and Medicaid where a government agency restricts the payments to providers.  The providers wail and gnash their teeth at these intrustions into their greed system.  Compounding the problem is the ownership of healthcare providing by Roman Catholic corporations claiming religious exemptions from tax payments and restrictions on healthcare providing based on religious dogma.

Instead of funding more production and jobs what happens in the real world is that it funds more stock buybacks. The problems in the economy are on the demand side and worker skill levels not the supply side.  Targeted tax cuts that promote workforce training and apprenticeships might be something that will help the economy.  Eliminating other tax breaks that provide no real economic benefit while lowering rates by a like amount could make sense.

So at this point, Russia and NATO are not facing off at opposite sides of a common border unless it's Kaliningrad, an isolated Russian outpost vulnerable by land, sea and air.

I think objectively we or a jury can never know the truth in cases like this, the jury will most likely be voting their prejudices and personal world views.  You know a grand jury is a rubber stamp and an indictment via them carries no special validation.  Grand juries approve what 99 +% of indictments sought?  When it goes to trial, the trial jury will hear a person charge another with crimes having no physical reality in the current world.

When the measures used to judge push the use of narcotics guess what happens. Many of us resisted the ridiculous use of narcotics.

So I'm wondering, if it's illegal to use cones etc. to cone of spaces, what if such items are simply treated as litter, and thus be discarded by city crews? That would be a pretty good deterrent as a 28\" traffic cone retails for around $20.00, so a scofflaw using two or more of these cones to privatize a public space ain't cheap if they get discarded often.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Eight great chapters are \"Living life on purpose\", \"Standing strong - resisting pressure\", \"Thinking ahead - choosing to be free\", \"Protecting the mind - taking control of the media\", \"The power of self-control - building your character\", \"Marriage rocks - looking forward to your future\", \"Making a fresh start - letting go of your past\", and \"The big picture - Life is short.

He didn't get there by being stupid and over the years he has developed a keen skill for evaluating people for their leadership abilities and putting them in positions where they can develop and deliver both growth and profits. So it will be interesting seeing how quickly and severely his management style conflicts with the entrenched bureaucracy and how much change he is actually able to drive.

We are fortunate that some people look beyond the stereotype presented in the media. \n\nUnfortunately, Anchorage has a ways to go. Irrespective of the mayor's attention on this issue, some veteran reporters and editors in the media continue to use disparaging terms like 'drunks' when they highlight the problem of homelessness and one public official even dehumanized the issue by disparagingly describing homelessness as a 'cancer' on Downtown Anchorage.   \n\nWith that kind of cultural thinking, we need more reasoned and rational voices to address the underlying factors that lead to homelessness. These considerations include lack of housing and resources. The organizations whose missions are to address the physiological components of homelessness, such as mental health issues and substance abuse, need to be supported and their programs held to account with oversight for many dollars spent.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

His project has a well documented record of failure throughout the world, LNG would be no success but an extreme debt and failure for Alaskans. One thing however, I do not agree on is your view of taxation, while I agree increasing industry tax will only move that to the customer, income and sales tax are viable options. Not as a whole (like Walkers insanely high proposal that failed) but merely a piece of the pie. State wide 4% sales tax, cap food/general tax at $50 per sale statewide. Raise landtax 1%. Avoid fuel/oil taxation. Income tax of 3% (no cap) for individuals grossing over $80k (non-refundable period of 5 yrs.) Then take alaska dealerships to the cleaners, fine them $5000 for every $1000 over msrp for each vehicle sold.

Many letters to Fr. Berrigan discussed how far US policy and aims were from Jesus' Gospel and how warped our national viewpoint had become.  \n\nWith Vietnam, our shameful actions in Central America, all the havoc we have wreaked in the Mid-East, and the absolute insane stance Trump is taking with regard to North Korea, Syria and Russia, I can only think that we as a nation have become even more hawklike than when Berrigan actively promoted peace.

In the West, immigration restrictions proliferated in tandem with industrialization, the rise of labour rights and, most importantly, the emergence of universal suffrage and the associated transformation of the role of the state. Is it surprising that people will vote to protect themselves against unrestricted competition, particularly when they're experiencing hardship or are anxious about the future? The very idea of citizenship focuses on the notion that membership has its privileges, one of which is the understanding that a primary purpose of the state is to promote and protect the interests of those living within its boundaries.

As redeemer Jesus, man and God lived, died, rose from the dead thus establishing an \"ontological\" elevation of mankind and indeed creation itself, in our relationship with the divine. \nJesus was not a moral dictator. He was a social, moral, ethics, political philosopher, teacher/leader in the line of civilizational greats. Aristotle taught that these are rooted in man's mutual dependence and thus reciprocity:\"love/friendship is a mutual benevolence mutually known\" (Ethics). Jesus taught and demonstrated that a \"mutual benevolence mutually known\", love and the \"common good\" go further, deeper.

A missed opportunity as it turns out.\n\nWere the shoe on the other foot, we know Trump wouldn't hesitate for a second. We know that for sure because Trump publicly encouraged Putin's illegal intervention in the presidential elections. Indeed when it comes to principles, we know Trump and the people around him have none. \n\nBut this time Trump might have outdone himself. By demanding a congressional inquiry, he may have unwittingly provided moderate Republicans the cover they needed to join Democrats in a much wider investigation of electoral fraud.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

I'd classify that as \"statistically few\".\n\nThis extrapolates to about 300 Canadian Muslims out of the over 1 million Muslims living in Canada. However even though there is no data for Canada in her video, when one looks at the statistics shown, there is a noticeably lower rate of fundamentalism in western countries compared to Muslim majority nations. Therefore the number of violent radical Muslims in Canada is very likely much less than 300.\n\nRaheel's overall point is a serious concern about radical fundamentalists, not about Muslims as a whole. Reacting as if all Muslims are somehow bent on the destruction of the western world is  clearly unfounded.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

A position reaffirmed vigorously by Pope Saint John Paul. \n\nFrancis has set forth an ambiguous compromise which speaks of re-integrating these Catholics, without saying how, and contains two footnotes giving a nudge and a wink to those wanting to overturn Church teaching.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

The idea of biomass for fuel evolved from plantation days when bagasse was burned for power. But bagasse was a waste product and burning was better than dumping it in the ocean (done by most Hamakua Coast mills), so eucalyptus was planted. For a while the trees were sold to China for plywood or whatever, but I guess that has failed. There might be merit in bio-mass for power IF albizia was the fuel. We have a big problem with that tree, and it needs to go. UH scientists have proposed to make charcoal from albizia which sounds like a win-win. The proposed cost-savings to consumers from the proposed eucalyptus bio-mass project are not appealing and would lock big island consumers into long-term high cost power. This is wrong and I hope HELCO fights the push to do this project. Big islands are being sold down the eucalyptus river to save some foolish investors!", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

The statutory US corporate tax rate is the highest. This is a fact. Now, do corporations seek to avoid paying that rate? Yes, primarily by registering in a foreign jurisdiction with a lower statutory rate (such as Ireland for many tech companies). This is why Pres. Obama was correct when he argued that by cutting the statutory corporate tax rate companies would pay more US taxes potentially.

Even though it only costs $5 billion from Pueblo to Fort Collins which isn't bad on a cost per mile basis, it 2ill be too slow and not frequent enough to attract riders; making it a waste.\n\nOf you spend $15 billion and get 150 mph train a that run 12 times a day, then you have something faster than driving and frequent enough you can easily integrate it into your schedule.

{"text": "Ibbitson\u2019s columns are going downhill. So if millions of illegal voters didn\u2019t vote against Trump in the 2016 election, as he suggests, just how many did vote against him? Ibbitson doesn\u2019t say. Trump didn\u2019t just manufacture the concerns about illegal voters changing the results of elections. Democrat Al Francken may have defeated his Republican opponent in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race thanks to illegal voters. The Washington Post, using data from the Co-operative Congressional Election Study, estimated that 6.4% of non-citizens voted in 2008. Given the demonization of Trump during the election campaign it would seem likely that higher numbers of non-citizens might have voted illegally in 2016 to defeat Trump. In 2014 there were 22.4 million immigrants to the US who were illegal immigrants or legal immigrants who had not become citizens. If ten percent of these people voted against Trump that would be more than two million votes.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

A propensity for enriching herself by soliciting donations to her foundation in exchange for strategic U.S. uranium deposits\n\n3. Lying to protect her opportunity to run for president after allowing 4 Americans to be killed in Benghazi\n\n4. Committing felonies by placing top secret U.S. government documents on her non-secure email server, then lying to cover it up\n\nThere are far more.

On the one hand, nostalgia is always surging upon us from whatever \"non-special place\" we happen to occupy in space and time. On the other hand, there are special moments and contexts that punctuate history and allow us to speak of \"The Gilded Age:\" or now the \"Nostalgic Age\". Nostalgia peaks most sharply in the face of trauma and dread. We prefer to look back from a precipice rather than forward beyond it. As we move over a precipice and survive, that experience can later be recovered nostalgically. Recall that Gott's somewhat reassuring calculations of human survival depend upon the assumption that there is no special circumstance associated with the moment of calculation. But we are now in a nuclear world and have entered the Anthropocene. The trauma and dread we face are neither mythic nor hypothetical.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

The Spirit operates on a battery of individualism, right? That's seems to be the only \"image of Spirit\" you wish to look at in your theological mirror. But as a Catholic, that is childish, incoherent. We Catholics do theology through Church Councils, with theologians, the faithful and leaders examining the longest woven cloth of belief in Christian history -- as we have for two thousand years. Newman notes this in his work, including his last major work, THE GRAMMAR OF ASSENT, as have our greatest theologians.

Including those on pretrial release, furlough, probation, and parole.\"\n\nNote that there is an implication that discretion can be used to determine who is eligible.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

He did so, he told his company\u2019s board, because he believed that no executive should make more than $225,000 a year (which translates into almost $2 million today)...\n\nThis belief seems to have stemmed from both Romney\u2019s Mormon faith and a culture of financial restraint that was once commonplace in this country.\n\nThe old culture of restraint had multiple causes, but one of them was the tax code. When Romney was saying no to bonuses, the top marginal tax rate was 91 percent. Even if he had accepted the bonuses, he would have kept only a sliver of them.\n\nThe high tax rates, in other words, didn\u2019t affect only the post-tax incomes of the wealthy. The tax code also affected pretax incomes.\"", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Neither is more outside competition that brings more residents and is a strain to all infrastructures (housing, health, environment, law enforcement, etc.).  As a state we need to do less importing of outside resources (fuel and conglomerates) and develop more self sustaining structures of energy (solar,etc.) and invest in our people (education).  Hawaii's people have become pawns to power brokers (tourism, rail unions, super pacs) that are deep threats to a sustainable island lifestyle (not homeless).", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Through the 1960-1980s, Cuba was one of the best places in the region to live - much better than the American-backed vicious right wing dictatorships that slaughtered  their own people.

The Trump administration has been more blatant than some, stocking the Cabinet with corporate executives and lobbyists, and removing protections (\"regulations\") of  air, water, land, worker safety, toxic substances and most of all our very survival in the face of climate change, with unbridled greed and no thought of the future. They are reversing 50 or more years of progress, but the theme and the plan hasn't changed.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

A lot of research has been done on the brain benefits of ketone-fuelling, especially by nutrition scientists at Johns Hopkins, Harvard and the Mayo clinic in respect of epilepsy and other neurological conditions. There is also research for ketones to boost mental performance of US Navy Seals at University of South Florida. Coconut oil and ketones have had measurable benefits for Alzheimer's. Dr. Mary Newport and Dr. Bredesen's Alzheimer's protocols use MCT oil and are now in clinical trials.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

To have work for many years as a psychotherapist for sex offenders, I know that some of them are very difficult to monitor, and first of all need more therapy than penances. How can you ask a community with an average age of let say 70 to monitor such problematic personalities? Secondly, though the procedure for bishops or superiors mishandling cases is in place on paper, it has not yet being put in practice, and apparently there are some resistances to it. So there are the official talks, but as Marie Collins point out there are different stories behind the closed doors.

Remember that only the middle class with enough assets and the rich can afford to actually declare bankruptcy (lawyers are expensive), so you saying that \"no one (individuals) have filed for bankruptcy because of the .05 percent surcharge\" doesn't really say much.  I'll bet there's at least a few people out there that have ran out of money because of it.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

They sometimes only return to take advantage of our education or health care systems while paying no taxes to support them. If these dual citizens are caught in a war zone in their country of birth (anyone remember Lebanon?) they just ring up the local Canadian consulate for a free bailout. If there's any second class citizens in this great country of ours it's those who only have one passport in their pocket.", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

God gave man the duty of ministry\"the elder is to be the husband of one wife\". 1Cor.14:34-38 is not a suggestion it is a command and it ends with \"if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.\nThe the point is don't judge your ideas by your feelings but by the word of God\u2026The Holy Spirit inspired them.  \n\nGod bless you buddy \n\nDave\n\n\nThe bible", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Slavery was still legal in some northern states when the debates began and those that had abolished slavery, had only recently done so.\n\nSo one has to ask themselves, what would have happened between now and then if the \"3/5\" compromise hadn't occurred?\n\nHere's an easy to read simple overview of the Electoral College:  http://www.history.com/news/the-history-of-the-electoral-college-debate", "label": 0, "label_text": "not toxic"}

Many other crimes, the drug crimes, minor shoving matches, etc. etc. are often of no real consequence, but the criminal justice system is involved because 1) prosecution is no skin off the citizen's teeth, 2) the system feeds many and must have meat to grind.\n\nTwo: In the multiple crime scenario, some triage may not be so bad.  But I do not think that most plea bargains are in that category.  More likely a man will be charged with felony kidnapping for holding the door for 30 seconds during an argument.
