" reduce or eliminate ...choice for parents..." Really? You can't choose to send your kids to private school or home-school them? Huh? Well I'll be danged! When did that happen? Are you sure it's the k-12 public school system that's entirely at fault? I went to k-12 public school, then went on to public universities, and there discovered that all my friends and colleagues in undergrad and grad school also went to public k-12 schools. You know who I didn't see at university? All the k-12 goof-offs and screw-up kids whose parents apparently didn't have enough regard for the benefits of education to get involved. Care to take one huge basic step in improving public education? If a kid shows up for kindergarten and can't read a Dick and Jane book, send them home until they can.

" people who are against Bill 62 are actually standing up for a very important concept: freedom of choice." Actually most of the people I see posting on these articles are (incorrectly) framing it as freedom of religion. I say incorrectly because it is not required by their religion - in other article comments people have supplied references for this. "they are symbols of male oppression of women" Ummm no. They are symbols of some women being oppressed by some males. The distinction is important. "simply the flip side of being forced to wear them" Ummm no. The argument is not symmetrical. If you want to frame the discussion as one of the right of people in general not not to be observed by their government then that is fine - but in all the articles this week and the comments they generated nobody, including article authors, is doing that save for one comment I have seen.

" often hinge on conflicting reports of consent that can be complicated by high levels of intoxication" Exactly, for a lot of students campus life is one long booze fueled party. What exactly are the police supposed to do when recollections are spotty, the accuser and accused say different things and there is no corroborating evidence or witness? As for asking about clothes I bet they also ask what the accused was wearing as well. Perhaps they just want to interview witnesses and ask questions like "Did you see a woman wearing xyz? Was there a guy wearing abc hanging around her?" etc. And I'm with TCampbell24, I don't blame the police one bit for declining to answer questions. The time for that was before the 10 day barrage of stories condemning their performance, not after.

" not even a country as welcoming to muslim immigrants as Spain is immune to Islamic terrorism" LOL . Only a tiny number of Muslims want to commit terrorism themselves but there is a much larger minority that morally support terror and the call for jihad against non believers. The fact of the matter is that if you are going to import millions of Muslims into the West and you are going to meddle in the affairs of the Muslim world then you are going to get some Islamic terrorism. The policy of the West is Invade and Invite. Terror should almost be expected. We were not bringing in millions of Germans during WW2 while we were bombing Germany.

" it is not men's job to take care adult females "exploring" their tolerance..." That was deemed society's role (mostly men) until about a century ago. As a preventative measure against rape, it worked extremely well. In an era of the "chaste kiss", there were simply too many societal barriers to rapes (women didn't drink, for one thing--and, for a while--after they helped vote for Prohibition's repeal--only privately, in their homes.) Increasingly, women chaffed at personal restrictions imposed by society's mores. Society gradually relinquished its "protective" role in legitimizing women's quest for equality and freedom. What many WOMEN then failed to do--being human beings--was take more individual responsibility for their actions to compensate for relaxed mores. What many MEN failed to do was perceive women as the thinking, feeling human beings they were and behave accordingly. Progress, eh?

" history could have turned out very differently." How do you suppose "history" would have developed in Germany? If Hitler had not taken power, who would have? What would that person/group have done? There had been a dozen or more elections during the short Weimar era, and none of those elections produced a leader able to solve the problems besetting Germany. In 1920 NSDAP published its 25 Points Program. Jews were mentioned twice: "No Jew may be a citizen . . ." and the intent to combat the "Jewish materialistic spirit." http://www.hitler.org/writings/programme/ Upon taking power and throughout the Third Reich, the same 25 Points remained the NSDAP program. Leo Strauss, guru of the neoconservatives, was a young ideologues in pre-Nazi Germany. He was an acolyte of Carl Schmitt, one of NS's idea-men. Are the 25 points hateful? Useful? Some good some bad?

The country currently spends around 1.2 percent of GDP on the Bundeswehr." "To meet that target, Germany's defense spending would have to rise to some 60 billion euros  ($65.8 billion). The current planned military budget for the year 2020 is 39.2 billion euros." "But Germany's political opposition isn't happy about the prospect of a dramatic rise in defense expenditures. And Merkel's partners in her governing grand coalition, the Social Democrats (SPD), aren't exactly enthusiastic either, feeling themselves reminded of the Cold War." "SPD leaders criticized what they called "NATO saber rattling."

" Unlikely, but in theory if you were not willing to buy it at that price originally, you should be selling it once it gets to that price after already holding the security." A straw man - if it reaches that price after a pullback much may have changed in the company or the market - better earnings, for example. The original article stated that the best measure of momentum is 12 months performance - interesting, and a cursory check seems to bear it out.

" United States have Institutionalized racism " I am not sure how you get that. There are examples all over the place of the United States working to help minorities of all sort. There are affirmative action programs. There are programs for women and minority owned businesses, etc. Bidding with the city of Portland gives additional weight to minority businesses. Many large businesses have minority employee quota requirements. I think the only people who have institutionalized racism are the ones that are making money off it.

" Trump has trouble with blacks because the media tells THE blacks that THE dems are better for them. " You seem to be suggesting that blacks are unable to figure out things for themselves and will believe whatever the media tells them. You should give them more credit. After all, they have seen the racist email chains. They have heard conservatives call Obama the food stamp president. They know that Republican legislators are trying to make it more difficult and time consuming to vote, and they also hear it when conservatives say that the only racists are those people who are drawing attention to racism.

" Tolerance" like for those that believe marriage should be between one man, & one woman ? " Unity" , like I will not try to enslave you, & you do not try to enslave me ? " New ideas", there is nothing "new" about slavery. Why is a " infrastructure bill" some thing only the broke, incompetent federal government can do ? " Take" from the 99% ? What did the 1% hire gun wielding thugs to bust into your home, & rob you ? No, that is the government that does that !

" Through their rapid and explicit condemnation, Jewish elected leadership opened itself up to a squall of allegations about selective empathy, and its racist applications" So true. With respect to Jewish individuals, and orgs like 'Not in our Name', Jewish community establishments in SAfrica routinely sanction atrocities by their Zionist brethren in Israel.

" This is why Canada has competent professional people in charge instead of a failed reality TV freak." Why is it that leftists always pine for the governments of ultra-white countries like Canada and Denmark? See, it's easy to get along and agree to take care of each other when everyone looks, talks, and pretty much thinks exactly the same. Not so easy in the racially diverse United States of America.

" This is a desperate attempt to mirror Trudeau, but, as not one of these opposition members has any power beyond critiquing the Liberal Cabinet, ...." The role of the opposition is to critique the ruling party and hold them to account. Why dis you think that Parliament had an official opposition?

His name is John, John Peck and John served so that Mr Flynns rights were protected and defended from the likes of you and your ilk who condemn anyone who thinks or acts different than you. Instead of going around pretending to be some kind of weirdo prepper you should learn what Patriotism and Americanism are all about.

" Think of the so-called "watch dog" groups that monitor Catholic universities and colleges to assess their "Catholic identity" but constrict such identity to matters of sexual purity and never ask: Is the Catholic school doing anything to combat violence in its city? Does it permit its workers to organize? Does it pay a just wage?". MSW appears erodite and we'll informed on the surface but then reveals in most articles the enormous gaps in his theology, especially moral theology. These groups are speaking about negative moral norms. Positive moral norms don't allow for such discernment.

" They can pick a school that best meets their children’s needs without attempting to change the system for everyone." - Try that on the Eastern plains. "Imagine if we didn’t have to fight over standards, testing, pedagogy or school start times and everyone just made their own decisions like they do when selecting a college, a preschool, a doctor, a job, a home, or dozens of other weighty life choices." Yes, we could return to segregation, religious nonsense, gay exclusion......
