    The video was consensual. Hogan knew about the recording.

    My problem is that we can't agree what facts are. Are you a Genesis believer with Adam and Eve starting things off, or believe in a book where from the very start, is pure fiction? Why is a book that completely makes shit up the basis for a faith based religion? It's like watching gullible suckers being told 1+1=3. Up until the last 100 years or so, the majority of believers actually believed literal Genesis to be true. It's only recently (1950's) where the stance changed to it being a story with a day being hundreds of millions of years... So the Bible is the "word of God" right up until it's proven false, then it's just lessons and stories to have faith in.

    I agree completely. I had a few really good teachers and a few that should be fired. If the shittiest of shit teachers were replaced with even average ones, there would be a huge improvement. Disclosure: both parents were teachers, have 3 sisters who are teachers. My sisters say it's the parents that's hard to deal with. They either care too much or too little. Snowflake kids and Snowflake parents.

    Uh, I associate environment protection and education with the left, not the right. You have a very loose definition of control. Which side likes to control your body? Oh, the right. Perhaps we need a 3D scale instead of a 2D scale.

    As I get older, I seem to be getting more xenophobic. So I'm OK with this. Any truly talented individuals really don't have a problem working in Canada. 3 months is nothing, many people have wives waiting to come over after the husband has been here for years. My issue is with the immigrants who do not make any effort to integrate themselves into Canada. I'm talking about the people who have been here 20-30 years and still don't speak English (or barely). Or people who have resting bitch/dick face. I grew up on the East Coast where everyone was friendly in any business situation. I just don't see the friendly customer service, they just look like they want to kill themselves or be anywhere else. They boast about ripping people off, etc. All my immigrant friends who have put down roots in the community (kids play soccer, hockey, and mingle with Canadians) speak really good English and friendly to chat and hang with. It's interesting to run into a recent immigrant run down other immigrants for the same reason. One Russian with really good English (hardly a trace of accent) came to Toronto without ever speaking English before. He took night school English lessons for 6 months. He said if an immigrant doesn't learn English in 2 years, they are not trying and should be returned. I don't disagree. I have two friends from Peru that have been here for 10-15 years. Their English has really improved, but one is still fucking annoying to talk to. If she spoke English at home instead of Spanish, she would have been fluent 10 years ago. Immigrating to Canada is a fucking privilege, not a right. Now get off my lawn.

    That they don't kill people? Not every company operates like a car company and lives with lawsuits to cut corners. When the government pays for it in volume, you can afford to put the cost of quality control into it.

    I don't think you're accounting for reduction in active virus across generations. If immunization done properly, the chance of getting infected will continue to decrease each generation until the odds of coming across it are slim to none.

    When I had a paper route when I was like 12, a guy would answer the door and then open his wallet to get cash. The paper was 82 cents, so most people gave me a dollar (loony in Canada).
