Waiting far too long to do anything about climate change. There is no scholarly debate about the cause of global warming—99.9% of legitimate scientists warn that it is caused by human activity. Somewhere along the line it became a hot button political issue, and the American Right insists on pressuring and bemoaning the media for having a left-wing bias. This leads to a consistent attempt to "balance" things by reporting stories like "Many believe climate change is caused by human activity, but some disagree." and "The climate change debate continues."

This is not a political issue.

I don't give a fuck about restricting the perceived and ultimately relative liberties of Americans, and neither should you. This is for the greater good of humanity, not the greater good of the Republican or Democratic political party.

I myself came out of a religious culture in which the attitude was "God will fix it." Well, God isn't going to fix it, we need to fix it.

The apathy towards this issue in recent years makes me fucking sick.

Gender is an unnecessary construct.

I like your thinking. I was just about to say something similar!

Initially Communion, better known as First Holy Communion, will be the sacrament associated with a individual experience with Jesus Christ usually between 6-8 yr old children. The primary Communion Gown can also be an essential component the youngster's festivity.



Just what is Initial Holy Communion? The word 'Communion' signifies to combine with. Economic crisis Communion is regarded as one of several holiest occasions in addition to the most essential event within a Catholic's existence. This implies than a person in Catholic has received the Sacrament of this Eucharist, the system and blood of Jesus Christ at mass.



You've got to end up being absolved on the sins and obtain communion. In most cases, young children make their very first confession just before communion, the place that the priest provides each and every kid a penance. Usually penance incorporates a handful of prayers which may have to become mentioned after a session.



To acquire 1st communion, the Catholic kid has to be baptized. Following baptism, children start making ready regarding certain 1st Communion as a result of Catechism classes, considering they don't visit a Catholic school. Right after about 2 a lot of study, the little one is in the position to receive their To begin with Communion.

My question is what do you think that'll be?

prohibition / the war on drugs
foreign policy
economic disparity

but most of all... I think the main thing is technological disparity. I saw a blurb recently about how even at this point, with as much variance in wealth between individuals, 77% of the global population has a mobile phone. I'm part of the 23% who doesn't, but that still blows my mind that so many people who would technically be poor as dirt somehow manage to have a mobile phone (that normally has a monthly fee of sorts attached).

So yeah, in 50 years, I think looking back the main thing will be a reflection of how old fashioned some of us still were as compared to what will be considered the base line of 'necessary' technology.

That, and weed, but at least Stephen Harper finally acknowledged that the war on drugs wasn't working earlier this week. No announcements on amendments yet but at least they're owning up to its failure.

About Howard, you're better off ignoring him.

I think corporal punishment will become illegal in more countries in the future and more people will think "Gosh, we used to beat kids? How awful".
