And co dependency? I'm not co dependent just because we choose to stick together and finish what we started. We had a baby young. We didn't stay together because we had a baby. We stayed together because we love each other and love what we are building. Our children are our lives. Dont confuse me with the women who stay in bad situations because they're scared to leave. That's not me and you may think you have us pegged, but you don't. Go to his Facebook and look at his babies. Look at how much they love him. Look at the positive photos rather than the ones YOU think are negative cause he's flipping off the camera. I didn't know flipping the bird when your a kid makes you a bad person.

Ahhh...Wakiki's tumultuous days - Yappy's, Diamond Head Markets, the Lemon Tree, Don Ho's Duke's, Aku Head? GONE. So, Go West Young Man...Wild Chinatown...tether horses along vagrant streets of bawdy saloons, mamasan tailors, Asian trinkets, noodles and drugs. Civilization encroaches - Kukui Plaza families, Judge Roy Bean. Char Hung Sut now in Tombstone's ghosttown. Fading storefronts servicing passing cowboys, stagecoaches, goldminer wagons. Disappearing horse rails. Pedestrian Street Malls now shield the law abiding away from vagrants, cowboys, horses and drug alleys. Must we tame the Wild West? The demise of Hotel Street dens for Alexandia-the-Great-48-by-the-tape and subduing the Union Bars doomed Chinatown to the boring future - the letter of law, whereby the true West becomes entirely the fake facade for the tourist experience -- Waikiki, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and very soon Chinatown. Sniffles.

You've seen the blueprint, haven't you? God's archetypal design for the human sexual binary? Where else could such detailed knowledge have come? I have news for you : like the 'Hitler Diaries', it's a hilarious forgery. Did it never occur to you that the nonsense you have posted, together with all the homophobic humbug written or preached by others, can induce self-loathing in LGBT folk (especially, youth) and communal hatred towards them? That these aren't greater factors in those 'stats' you mentioned? There is absolutely nothing intrinsic to homosexuality that could induce the behaviours you refer to. No; that comes from without. From people like you.

This is a wonderful appointment. Ms. Freeland is a highly respected journalist and author who has already proven herself as a Cabinet minister. Mr. Trudeau has given a bold signal to the whole world that Canada rejects the xenophobia, Putinophilism and sexism of the right-wing "populism" infecting politics in many nations by appointing a Ukrainian-Canadian as Foreign Minister, a Somali-Canadian former refugee as Immigration Minister and a woman of Afghani/Iranian origin to Status of Women. Ms. Freeland was excluded by Russia before she entered government, and she has written one of the seminal books on the rise of the billionaires. Justin Trudeau has indeed thrown down the gauntlet and told the world exactly what values Canada represents. But it is now essential that Canada substantially increase its defence budget, that not only US brigades be stationed in Poland and the Baltic States. The surveillance and defence of Canada's northern border is an urgent need.

Talk of a championship is terribly premature, a victory of hope vs experience. To have watched the Rams playing Idaho, a program in its final year at the FBS level, and getting pummeled, scored on a will, isn't encouraging. Bono is 14-12 following a guy that did so well Florida offered him the Gross National Product of 18 European countries to work for them, meaning the cupboard was full and then some. Two 7-6 finishes against MW weak competition isn't a good thing. Yes, the MW that was 6-27 playing FBS teams outside the conference in 2015, only slightly better in 2016. The Rams have played in 4 straight bowl games as every team winning 6 games got to do, with 3 consecutive losses bs Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. CSU needs to work for respect, other teams are not going to play dead because the Rams are someone's pre-season pick.

Prior to Harry Potter, fantasy literature (e.g. Lord of the Ring) and games (e.g. Dungeons and Dragons) were banned from many schools, with conservative groups claiming they spread belief in the occult. Harry Potter was initially banned in many schools with conservative parent groups claiming it promoted witchcraft! However Harry Potter's popularity forced school boards to address the fantasy genre. There were many debates and even some lawsuits, but ultimately Harry Potter took down conservative censorship in schools and libraries.

It has everything to do with your proposal as it is an agreement between the states that does not have Congressional approval.

The caps are mine to make it easy to see where you are trying to violate the Constitution.

It's less calling them liars and more assuming/hoping the initial test results are a false positive. Field tests are known for those.

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Teddy Roosevelt

So it is all about abortion. In 1980 people, not unlike this professor, told me I had to vote for R. Reagan because he was "pro-life." When he left office in Jan. 1989, the abortion rate was nearly identical to when he first took the oath of office. In 1988 those same people told me i had to vote for G. H.W. Bush because he was "pro-life." When he left office the abortion rate was higher than it was he took office. In 1992 people told me I couldn't vote for Bill Clinton because he wasn't "pro-life." When he left office in 2001, the abortion rate was lower than when he took office. In 2000, people told me I had to vote for George W. Bush because he was "pro-life." Yet, when he left office in 2009, the abortion rate was higher than when he took office. In 2008, people told me I couldn't vote for Barack Obama because he wasn't "pro-life." Yet, the abortion rate is lower now than when he took office. If I really care about the unborn, it behooves me to vote Democrat.

Scott Hawkins should have included a spinning top in his attack ads. That top would reflect the commentary he had published in ADN on April 24, 2016. In THAT commentary Mr. Hawkins said "board based taxes" were essential to a sound fiscal plan for Alaska. He went on to state that either an income tax or a sales was necessary for Alaska. Mr. Hawkins is Prosperity Alaska and his goal is to tilt everything to benefit his bottom line, not Alaska, and certainly not Alaskans. Less tax for the oil and gas industry and less revenues for Alaska sums up Mr. Hawkins quite well. Lets fix our fiscal problems by focusing on the needy rather than the greedy.

Am I missing something here? It is alleged that Russia meddled in US politics in some way, is that surprising? Is it somehow unexpected? Should we all be shocked by such a 'stunning' revelation? Consider that the US routinely meddles (or worse) in other nation's politics, and evidently believes it has every right to do so. In some instances, interventions have gone well past the 'meddling' stage of things (think exploding Cuban cigars). So, is this sort of behavior exceptional in any way? Britain certainly has been involved in its share of clandestine interventions (think 007), France has inspired/supported or even driven revolutions in most if not all of its colonies or protectorates at one time or other, and continues to do so in subtle underhanded ways (think Madagascar, Mali, Burkina Faso, French Congo just for starters). Now we have yappy Democrats in the USA accusing the Russians of doing naughty things, goodness, how could those commies dare to do such a thing?

And I do see that - to a point. But in the playoffs, it often comes down to whether your shots go in or not. Crosby had no part in the Preds hitting 4 posts last night, or in the puck (correctly) being blown dead before a goal was scored. He had nothing to do with Subban's goal being called back for a razor-thin offside review in Game 1. Seven games against Caps, and a 2 OT 7th game victory against the Sens. At some point, any of those things could have gone against them, and there is no question they had some incredibly good fortune this year - not like last year when they simply outplayed everyone. When so much is left to chance - as it is all the time in the NHL playoffs - it is difficult to say one player makes such a huge difference - as the commentators always seem so desperate to do with Crosby. Take Malkin's contributions away, and there are no "Crosby Cups." And Malkin's contributions could not be replaced by someone else "stepping up"

Chris I totally agree, they are not a good offensive club, simple as that. Desmond is functional, Story is a poor hitter with some power occasionally, Parra is a better alternative for Desmond the 70 million dollar boondoggle and Tapia at the moment is hitting instead of Cargo(though his fielding is very suspect). All in all they have a solid defensive club (depending on the lineup)with an average to below average offense. I see better than average with Dahl, Parra, Blackmon,DJ, Reynolds, Nolan, Wolters and a promotion from minor league at short, with contributions from Desmond and Tapia, seasoning from the Rookie starters will change this teams outlook moving forward...As for this year great start then they woke up, I believe that Black is a definite improvement...they will win with him as skipper, they may even hold on for a wild card, if they can shake the cob webs from their heads.
