The idea of conscription seems dubious: Scenario A: I love my country. My beloved country is being invaded and I feel I must defend it against unwarra...
In truth I suspect that everything is merely a creation of my imagination in an effort to keep me amused. There is nothing until I perceive it to exis...
It's another war. Don't worry, there will be many more after this one, and after those, and after those as well. Welcome to people. We are upset with ...
I disagree. If I want to be with someone who will be whatever they think I want but not themselves, I will rent them for however long I like. That wou...
Canada exists. I am in it. And I exist...as much as I think Canada and I exist. Although lately, I exist more than Canada and the idea that once was C...
I have a Parkes painting: Gargoyles chasing bubbles being blown by a girl. One of the gargoyles is leaping from it's post to get a bubble. He will mos...
Relatively simple really: us non-drinkers are quite rare. So if you are ok with a mostly sober type it ups your odds of finding someone. Having said t...
When you lock up your legally protesting citizenry, remove their charter rights, have your police use mounted horsemen on peaceful protesters, beat sa...
You know these things because you said them? I get that you have your opinion, and are welcome to it, as are we all, however, Can you support your cla...
You forgot Trudeau eh. Had his horsemen run down a senior with a walker that dared protest oppression. If you are going to cover 21st century Facists,...
you know this how? I was recently described as a violent conspiracy theorist, rapist, white supremacist, fringe minority. I attended the Coutts Border...
But we have options! We can vote for what type of footwear the tyrant has! Is it a hiking boot? a steel toed boot? Tap dance shoes? I mean, talk about...
I figured it out when I divorced, and all my friends divorced: it takes about 1.5 times as long to recover as time spent married, until that 15 year m...
The first paper says you will combine your lives. Easily done. The rest are to specify which parts of your life you want back, which you will be flexi...
The idea of not dying seems to make things rather pointless, one would become a master at everything, just like everybody else that isn't dying. Big s...
In discussion with my wife, she pointed out that many witches use laptops to live stream gatherings over distance, so I guess technology is being used...
Not necessarily. We had access to all sorts of guns, however, we also knew how to use them, so no one did. Choosing to hurt someone, self defense or o...
Yes, Yukon and B.C. Sleeping with the Shotgun was in the Northwest Territories. And a hiccup or two in Alberta, but that was mostly posturing type stu...
Crowley's approach to magick was that anything he did he had done with magick as he had caused change to occur in conformity with his will. Which is a...
The States get a bad rap. I have not lived in the US. I have spent my life in Canada. I had a friend from high school get murdered with a pair of scis...
In truth, I must decline. What we are facing is nothing short of the regular run-of-the-mill human response. Entitlement and power electing to destroy...
Yep. one of those. However, I cannot tell you which as I have provided enough information about myself, anymore would allow someone to locate me and r...
I don't treat those that don't want treatment. They have the right to refuse treatment and I respect that. I can't treat people that do not require tr...
Not a parole officer. Currently practicing in Acute Psychiatry. Interesting to read that you reclassified my profession based on the lack of a space, ...
You don't have the statistics. Or the reality. It sounds very much like you have the Social Worker handbook though, as well as a nice "how things shou...
Death, efficiently applied, can result in a minimization of suffering. I will provide you with a ridiculous example to demonstrate: Bob is a generally...
Fun is not the debate. Ethical violence is. My position is that under specific circumstances, violence, no matter the required level, is ethical. I am...
I do see a difference with M.A.I.D and efficient self defense: one is by choice and the other is forced upon an unwilling party. However, by initiatin...
I am not joking. I work healthcare, I have patients and family ask me to "assist" with death on a nearly daily basis to relieve suffering. There is no...
Yes. Death does not equate to suffering. I am not clear what your objection is. I suppose you could define suffering, however, as I understand it, onc...
If one considers violence, in itself, to be unethical, or at least undesirable, then minimizing the time one, or any other, is exposed to violence wou...
violence is ethical when used in defense against an aggressor. Some would suggest that it should be the minimal use of force needed, however I am a pr...
I found a lovely 1480 first edition, Gulden Throene, listing for $215,010.67. (US) Beautiful book. Not really an area I am overly interested in, but s...
If Canada works for you then I am interested in editing it. I may be enticed to go stateside for a sabbatical if that is the only way to have a read o...
In a nutshell, not really. Omicron reproduces 70 times more than previous strains, in the upper airways, nasal passages etc, and gets exhaled out with...
The viral load being exhausted into the air makes it more infective. However, if 99% of people get infected, have no particular symptoms, and simply s...
Depends on why they are refusing to listen to the doctor. Is amoxicillin the best actual choice of antibiotics? Are antibiotics actually required in t...
It would have been much better to have moved forward in the beginning by using all the money spent on advertising, propaganda (education about the val...
I understand the awakening (or crushing, depends on the person) that happens when you realize that the position you have been hoping to get, to finall...
Yes. However, in the manager's defense, the job is entirely awful, just a horrid thing of a career. I did it for a year, foolishly thinking that I cou...
Absolutely. I have a useless mask on my face for "optics" not actual value. I was mandated to get the vaccine, not because I needed it, but because th...
