Don't confuse his wisdom with his authority.  It is understood that serving members would feel disgust etc., which is adequately demonstrated by writing such things as "This person is a waste of perfectly breathable air" and words to that effect.  However, as this site is read by MORE than...

Who's paying for this?  You?  Anyone who buys a plane ticket?  And what are we paying for?  Bargain basement, $8 an hour "agents" who will make certain to strip search every woman with a bouncy chest?  Or intensely professional security/intel people who will become intensely bored by the 8000...

This is another American email, poorly shifted to a Canadian context.  The term "Under God" comes from the American pledge of allegiance, which shouldn't be on Canadian money.

Based on everything I have heard from those who serve, the padres are everything a priest is supposed to be--Good Christians (et al) who attempt to guide their flock, without pressuring them on obscure points of doctrine.  They soldier on.  They are a shoulder to lean on, a hand up, and...

Every now and again, you need to do something wholly raw, wholly indefensible, as a clear and stern warning that certain things are NOT to be considered.  Had the US simply nuked the North Korean capital when they starting rattling sabres about how kewl their nuclear program was, we wouldn't...

When a child throws a screaming hissy fit, he is telling his parents "I'll act like this every time  you try to discipline me, until you learn your place".  Prompt action by the parents usually nips that in the bud, and the child stops throwing tantrums.  If the parent caves, the kid throws a...

Do you not believe you are worthy of support?  Or, do you not believe that the Canadian military, who is engaged in operations on our behalf is worthy of support?  Or do you not believe that the ideals that led you to join the military are not worthy of support? I understand not wanting to look...
