    If Oprah had run, her running mate could have been Ellen Degeneres.

    Oprah for President?

    Calmer heads have prevailed. Oprah now says she doesn't have the DNA to run for President, whatever that means. Does it mean she doesn't have the male DNA or the white DNA or just the aggressive DNA she would need to do the job? Never mind, she's not going to pursue the crazy idea.

    One week's notice to the rapture?

    What if God gave us one week's notice before He was to implement the rapture? What would you do, knowing you had 7 days before the end of life as you know it?

    11 year old girls lies about jihab being cut

    Like the quote from the Quran about Allah being informed of what ye do. We also tell our grandsons that they may be able to hide what they did or said from others but God will always find out. We're not overly religions but we know there is something to believe in. One of the unifying factors...

    11 year old girls lies about jihab being cut

    They used to say spoil the rod, spoil the child. I'm not promoting corporal punishment and parents should not start spanking their children on a daily basis but when I was growing up, I was taught there were consequences for my actions. I respected my parents and others because I knew I was...

    11 year old girls lies about jihab being cut

    Agreed. Children should always be raised to respect others and not to do things that can hurt others, including lying. I've always tried to do that raising my three children. I continue to do this with my two grandsons whom we're raising. I cringe when I see parents subscribing to the 'new age'...

    11 year old girls lies about jihab being cut

    This is not obviously not the first and won't be the last. This has happened with reported rapes, adbuctions and other crimes. Maybe, if this girl had to publicly own her lie, it might serve as a deterrent to other kids who could be tempted to tell a lie in public.

    11 year old girls lies about jihab being cut

    Recently, an 11 year old girl and her brother lied to Toronto Police about a man cutting her jihab twice in about half an hour. The school jumped on the story quickly and she was on television very quickly before anyone thought to actually check the story out. A homeless man was even arrested...

    Oprah for President?

    It would be if the rich didn't have so many tax loopholes to write off so many phony expenses.

    Oprah for President?

    First, Trump said he wouldn't ask for help from donors and yet he did. Just because Oprah is a billionaire doesn't mean she won't accept money or grant her friends favors in exchange for something. Maybe Ellen would like something the White House can give. Money is not always the great motivator...

    Oprah for President?

    Okay, there are examples of laws which are advantageous to all but they are extreme to a certain extent. The seat belt law is advantageous to all drivers but not always accepted by all drivers. Then, again, there are those who can't wear a seat belt because of their weight or height, and don't...

    Oprah for President?

    With any decision that's ever been made in the history of mankind, problems have arisen and will always arise. It's the nature of the beast. However, when you propose to base a decision on 'universal standards of morale, justice and pragmatic efficiency', problems are unavoidable simply for...

    Oprah for President?

    'Technically' it's impossible but ideally, it is possible. Not every decision will satisfy every person but, if a decision is made considering the welfare and concerns of every person, even a person who is not directly benefitted by that decision will understand the wisdom and need for the...

    Oprah for President?

    Latest thing is Seal pointing out that Oprah can be seen in numerous pictures cuddling up to Weinstein and even kissing him on the cheek. She would have heard the rumours and he is right she was part of the problem. Now she wants to be part of the solution. Hypocritical in the extreme or maybe...

    Oprah for President?

    Everyone is saying Oprah Winfrey should run for President in 2020. This would be a big mistake. If people were to vote for her because she's a woman, wrong reason. Hillary Clinton received votes because she was a woman but she had too much other baggage to qualify her for the position. If it...

    The World's First Genderless Baby

    I tend to see the similarities in people and not the differences. Isabel Allende The differences between a tart, a pie and a quiche are a blur. Yotam Ottolenghi We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in...

    The World's First Genderless Baby

    Genderless babies are a stupid idea, I agree. Even if they survive the years of ridicule and abuse when others who aren't so progressive find out they don't conform to societies norms(?), it creates a whole new set of bureaucratic nightmares when they want to register for almost anything...

    Does anyone else find the sexual assault sweep to be suspicious?

    Probably going to be an unpopular commentary but welcome to reality. People are acting as if they're so surprised this has been going on but get real, this is older than civilization. As long as there have people, this has been happening. One thing I would like to see come out of this is to have...

    Atheist minister fighting to keep job

    Sorry, just trying a little humor, just as in a vegetarian butcher, a lawyer who will lie to win a case, a judge who supported Clinton but wears a Trump hat in court the day after the election or a doctor telling you to stop smoking while he smells like cigarette smoke.
