If a tweeter (no names please) spreads half-truths and outright lies, should we respect it? There is so much misinformation swirling about in Europe, the magnitude is shocking and, even more so, how much of it is being believed by the populace. Having multiple objective sources (?) of information is crucial but how many people take the time. Interestingly, religious belief is no less susceptible to abuse by demagogues. Unfortunately, faith (no objective truth) doesn't work like public affairs (objective truth possible) and this difference is crucial.

Sigh. For the thousandth time, Black Lives Matter is and does none of the things you name. It is a peaceful group bringing attention to the systematic and institutional discrimination that has denied blacks the opportunities whites in this country have long enjoyed. Not being shot by police for the color of your skin, for example. Let's make a deal, Move On. You don't presume to speak for groups you don't even attempt to understand, and in return I will stop calling out your posts for their sheer idiocy.

MGM is terrified because they see massive lawsuits coming - especially if they somehow failed to alert police promptly when the gunman fired 200 rounds into a hallway six minutes before he began shooting at the crowd. The story of the Vegas Sheriff's department has changed so often I don't believe or trust anything they say. Everything I read indicates an incompetent and inadequate response from a poorly trained and prepared department. The FBI should take over the investigation. "six minutes is not enough time to formulate a response?" Here is the response - you get as many cops on that floor as fast as possible and blow your way through the door shooting anyone you see holding a gun. It is becoming clear lives could have been saved. Now we are in the CYA and preparing for lawsuits stage.

In small business it is all about 2 factors, the first is the cost. Mastercard and Visa can be processed for as little as 1.2% whereas square, Paypal and most of the online providers charge as much as 5%. The second is the speed the money flows to the company's bank account. Visa and Mastercard transfer daily, Paypal is fairly quick but you need to initiate the transfer. As for Square and other online I have never used them due to higher fees.

As long as you steal under $1k all you get is a ticket to appear before the judge in a month's time. It used to stack...3 misdemeanor thefts in a certain time period meant that on the 3rd strike it was an instant felony, no matter the amount. As far as I know, not anymore. If you don't show up for court, no big deal. No law enforcement agency is going to move briskly to scoop you up for a theft charge. The people left holding the bag are the victims. This bill flat-out sends the message that the victims do not matter. It is my opinion the bill helps neutralize the impact of crime for the criminal by just giving them a ticket and no real reason to stop.

Any fluorides in the ocean is calcium fluoride and not the artificial industrial waste that is put in to municipal water supplies. Whatever calcium fluoride is there is not a problem. The added industrial waste fluorides are the problem. I have the best teeth, because I do not touch artificial fluorides any more. Artificial fluorides cause arthritis (skeletal fluorosis diagnosed as arthritis), fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, and damage to the hippocampus (the memory processing part of the brain). Artificial fluorides also contribute to Alzheimer's disease, because fluorine binds with aluminum, which damages the brain. Fluorides cross the placenta and contribute both to miscarriages and infertility. There are multiplicity of other health problems caused by artificial fluorides that are not correctly diagnosed, due to fluorides sticking everywhere in the body, and doctors treating and diagnosing just symptoms and not the cause.

If U.S. wants to avoid escalation then remove its troops and military bases in South Korea. Been there for 65 years. Let the two Koreas work out their solution. It's their problem, not the U.S. The U.S. is there for one purpose only - massive military bases on the door step of China, to encircle it. Including advanced THAAD missiles, strategic bombers. It's like China puts 20,000 men and similar forces in Cuba, to 'protect' Cuba. Then ask the U.S. not to escalate the situation. There is only one reason for North Korea actions. Avoid being attacked by the U.S. combined forces with South Korea and Japan, both pure puppets of the American Empire. And there is only one reason for China not to intervene. It needs North Korea as buffer against a massive American encircling military force. China & U.S. fought bloody battles along the border, ending in PERSON defeat. China and North Korea (and Russia to a smaller degree) are the defenders. The U.S. is the aggressor. The rest is BS.

1. "In a democratic government the right of decision belongs to the majority but the right of representation belongs to all". Do you agree? Because if you do then FPTP, which in 2015 did translate >50% of votes into representation, does not meet this basic criteria for democracy. 2. All the Board I have ever belonged to govern, at the end of the day, by arriving at a consensus decision of the majority after considering disparate views. Canadian politicians can certainly learn to do that just like those in New Zealand, Germany and Scandinavian countries. 3. CPP, Medicare and the Canadian flag--brought to you by "minority" (aka consensus governments). PERSON's legacy? Shortform census--gone, Unfair elections act--gone, Northern Gateway--gone.
