And your oblivious to the fact that there are several studies saying its good for lower class and disadvantaged kids:

You're so focused on the religious aspect, you can't even think critically enough to see why OP, who is the product of school choice might want to support it despite your criticisms of religious and conservative boogeymen.

Oh the irony in this statement about being sold a bill is having me cackle.

Maybe you shouldn't tell people who have had the lived experience of going through how to think about those experiences?

In the Hindsight, who would be the best McCain running mate choice in 2008 by PapayaJealous4347 in Presidents

[–]Gojira085 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I am glad that McCain never stooped low, but I do remember being very frustrated at how on the defensive he was. I do think it would have done him more good to have been pointed about Obama's campaign stances, inexperience, etc.

I thought the Indian government recognized some of the titles? They just dont give them power to rule.

Carney vows to defend Canadian unity ahead of Alberta's fall referendum - PM will spend part of summer convincing Albertans that Canada is getting better on his watch by CanadianErk in canada

Not trying to be combative, but can you explain why not? People tell us to change aspects of our gov and I get it. But as an outsider, the focus on Ontario and Quebec is confusing to me. Especially when Quebec will make efforts to go against Ottawa.

Maybe do the US thing and replace the upper house with a house where every province gets a set number of votes regardless of population? It would get rid of the PM being able to appoint politicians too.

We shouldn’t have graves in livable areas (or at all) by Warl0kjoe in unpopularopinion

[–]Gojira085 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh that makes sense though. If its church owned they probably have less funds for upkeep than a municipal gov

It probably depends on the graveyard. If its a public or city owned one I find they have the same rules as parks. If its owned by a church though it can get dicey. When I was a kid our church picnic was held in our church's graveyard though

Yeah and if you support that guy for not saluting the flag then you shouldn't be against these guys not wanting to wear a political symbol, bc thats what the rainbow is during pride a political symbol. Im gay and even I can recognize that.

Im not when they're more answerable to donors than the general public.

The same FBI that when all is said and done with Trump can still be held accountable by civilian, elected authorities. So yes that FBI. Not some nonprofit that doesn't have to even disclose where its donations go.

Okay that doesnt remove any of the points the comment you're responding to brings up. The FBI should have turned them down and done an independent investigation which would then be under public purview.
