  1. haha, love that guy. Never seen the video before. Thanks for posting!

  2. The issue with stopping parents rights the second a child's health is put at risk, is that it invites over officious idiocy from child services, like "oh my god, I saw some snot dribbling from their nose once, therefore you're not cleaning them regularly enough, and their health is at risk!"

    Fortunately, not everything has to be a slippery slope.

    You, sir, are evil. Someday the baby Jesus will judge you for all the crimes against humanity you have committed. SHAME.

  4. I am not ashamed on Bell Media President Says Canadians Are 'Stealing' US Netflix Content · · Score: 1

    "It has to become socially unacceptable to admit to another human being that you are VPNing into U.S. Netflix" I am Canadian. I occasionally vpn into a US server to watch US netflix. Heck, I've even vpn'ed into European countries just to see what they get. I have never sat in the penalty box for 2 minutes to feel shame. Generally, though, I stick to Canadian netflix because it's good enough and it's a wee bit of a hassle to vpn to a US server. It's only a wee hassle. Don't go telling me how easy it is. I get it. It's just clicking a couple of buttons.

  5. Re: News for nerds on Religious Affiliation Shrinking In the US · · Score: 5, Informative

    your post is a little tl;dr for me, so forgive me if I'm focusing on the wrong details here.

    But:

    "scientism claims that life after death is impossible"

    Science makes no such claims. "Science" would say that there's no credible evidence of life after death therefore it probably doesn't exist. Should credible evidence arise, "science" will re-evaluate.

    unfortunately, at some point, technology cannot overcome human stupidity. You have to do best practise type stuff for the majority of the cases, then deal with the outliers manually.

    The US is the only western country not to provide some sort of healthcare...and you think everybody else is wrong.

    I'll be sure to throw you a couple of bucks when you get sick and lose everything and become homeless. Just make sure you have a witty cardboard sign. I like those.

  14. For the children! on Tim Cook: "I'm Proud To Be Gay" · · Score: 1

    ..yes, and there is one area (which you mention) in which he feels he can help so he is.

    He can't be a positive role model to black kids because he's not black*. He can't be a role model to disabled kids because he's not disabled*. He's doing what he can to help in one specific usecase. His efforts should be appreciated by everybody.

    *I acknowledge you shouldn't be excluded from being a role model if you don't share the same skin colour or able-bodiness. But if you share those attributes I presume it creates a closer connection.

    How did they do this? I have a toddler and want to prepare him for this kind of stuff. Any insight would be appreciated. When I was a kid, I was never bullied, nor a bully. I saw it going on, but didn't do anything to stop it.
