Re: Local Teacher Arrested for Sexual Misconduct
Pedophilia is a deeply entrenched psychological issue, one that is hard to curb by counselling or other methods. We had a case here not long ago of a pedophile that was released after serving what was nearly a life sentence (he was just about ready for the old age pension), and then re-offended afte...

Re: Would gun control work?
We are in a form of virtual dialogue here, so I can only assume that you are engaging in a bit of virtual humor. The correlation between gun ownership and gun death is massive and undeniable . The US has many more guns in circulation, and many more gun deaths. Canada has considerably less guns, and...

Re: Would gun control work?
I’m tired of people saying that guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Yeah, mentally ill people, so why not do the necessary background checks? And yes, cars do kill more people per capita, but cars were not designed specifically to kill. And as far as these open-carriers, what unbelievably i...

This all sounds a little fishy to me.

Re: Israel and Palestine, Will There Ever Be Peace?
The catastrophe of 1948 was 66 years ago. Just three years before that, the allied powers stopped the Germans from completing their plan to eradicate the Jews from Europe. As Sam Harris points out in the article I linked above, the universal hatred toward Jews justified the need for a Jewish homela...

Re: Israel and Palestine, Will There Ever Be Peace?
I have been following the news and commentary on this war with considerable concern. I support Israel. While it has some major faults, Israel is a modern, rational, democratic secular state, whereas Gaza under Hamas is a medieval, irrational, despotic theocracy. The civilian casualties in Gaza have...

Re: Would gun control work?
There is a lot of mythology built up around guns, that will have to be circumvented if any sort of solution to the present situation is to be found. It's a similar idea to, say, motorcycles. These are inherently more dangerous than travelling in a sedan with four wheels and air bags. I've not doubt ...
