Well... if you believe in the Prophecy of St. Malachy, Gloria Olivae (Glory of the Olives) will be replaced by Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), and interesting things will happen:


"In the final...

Yes. You've opted to confuse natural rights and positive rights. The Bill of Rights and Constituition confer positive rights, not natural rights. Positive rights are those rights conferred or...

Addendum: For those interested, Carufel is debating everyone who's given his essay low marks on Amazon.com.

Some of the exchanges are... errrr... ummm... oooo, I dunno... interesting :oo:

In...

Yes, and I'm happy to report you'd be doing yourself a favor by skipping Carufel's (unintentionally) hilarious and happy efforts, in addition to saving yourself the time and the $1.00 you'd be...

*nods*

You got that right: B.C.'s economy is resource- and export-based. While we're all proud of our shale gas production, hydroelectric and softwood exports, it's BC bud that really finances the...

"insistented" <==== what the hell word is that?

*sighs*

That sentence ought to read, "(from AGT to energy ultilities, the government *insisted* services would improve and costs to consumers...

You know, frankly, our current system of health care continues to rival that of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), who likely operate the best-funded national health strategy imaginable (it helps to...

He he he he :rofl:

Great points, S&D.

But according to the syllabus prepared by the U.S. Supreme Court Reporter of Decisions in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), pages 54-56, the...

<mischievously> Happily, I would... but for some inexplicable reason, posts on Stephen King's Message Board are limited to 6,000 characters per post. Go figure. Also, I'm typing these little missives...

Interesting to read that King admitted he was willing to write 'Chrome' as a cap to the Travis McGee series. Makes me wonder if the rumors circulating around 'The Black Book of Travis McGee' (also...

Whoops... just noticed a serious error in one of the above paragraphs - the sentence ought to read: "In short, weapons deemed prohibited by legislators, and users wishing to procure or own those...

As the new Constitution took effect in practice, concern over individual liberties and concentration of power at the federal level, gave rise to the amendment of the Constitution...

(continued)

After repeated pleas to the British monarchy for favorable intervention with Parliament, any chance of a compromise ended when the American Congress was summarily declared traitors by...

All interested:

In another thread on these boards, a poster recently lamented about King's decision to donate the proceeds from 'Guns' to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, writing: "I...

Hmmm...

Just thought I'd fling another two cents at this discussion, and suggest a whole lot of argument isn't about perception, per se, so much as selectivity... or more accurately, the potential...

Errr, 'The Tommyknockers'

It was in 'The Stand', and was part of one Glen Bateman's rants about the nature of things. Sadly, it appears King made it up - no such research on the subject suggests such a phenomenon actually...

*quiet laughter*

Westmoreland... well that explains the computer-generated autoresponse.

In addition to having once described the Obamas as "uppity", Westmoreland's appearance on 'The Colbert...

That's entirely true, context is everything.

But then, because context is everything, this stands as an example of how entirely specious the NRA's suggestion that "hammers are more lethal than...

Ever taken a gander at George Romero's 'Knightriders'? One hell of an interesting cast: Ed Harris, Tom Savini, Amy Ingersoll, Patricia Tallman (ahhhh, Patricia... you crazy, lovely near-sighted teep!...

It's likely for the same reason Amazon.com charges $119 for the Kindle Paperwhite, while Amazon.ca charges $139 for the exact same device: Canadians happily pay more for everything and so retailers...

While it's possible that cannabalism is occuring in North Korea, it's not very probable. Navi Pillay, the head of the United Nation's Human Rights Commission, however, is calling for an in-depth...

I'm of the opinion some of the responses to Charles' blog entry wonderfully illustrate the mindset of a lot of folks.


For example, 'defender of 2nd and 1st' writes: ' just remember that before...

In another thread, mention was made of an article presented recently by the Huffington Post, and a lively (but off-topic) discussion ensued. I just wanted to toss in my two cents, but I thought I'd...
