Tell that to the economist.

Yes, of course, because CH is not set up for me to write a thesis on racism and white privilege. lol This is true, and if you are speaking about the atrocities from WW2 and the Jewish people who suffered in Germany and surrounding areas, there is a reason why they are (mostly) doing well. They...

Interestingly, Dr. Phil had an economist on today who said the pandemic created the inflation problem. People got locked down and couldn't spend, and during that time, supply chain broke down, and now people want to buy and they can't = supply and demand = increased prices. The economist said...

Every single administration will make disastrous decisions and most of the time it's the People who pay for it. But most administrations also make a few good decisions. Let's not discount those. However, back to the original discussion - if I were American, I used to be more democrat, but...

Canada is on the verge of recession, and although they claim only 8% inflation rate, the cost of most food, like butter, has nearly doubled. And it's been in the past year or maybe a year and a half. My suggestion, no matter what, is to look at all the angles, all the contributing factors...

Lamb, is this the study you are referring to? https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/05/study-babies-like-watching-puppets-who-are-different-from-them-get-hurt/275602/ Not being racist is more than just ignoring the colour of skin or seeing us all the same in God's eyes. Society has...

Yes, around the same time that the country started opening up again after covid lockdowns ended, which is also around the same time inflation everywhere started skyrocketing because they all wanted to make up for lost time. Some of the cause is, in addition to more global concerns, gouging. We...

*Permission to giggle - laugh out loud, even - at the Canadian weighing in on American politics* Inflation needs to be seen in a global context because there are forces outside of Biden's power that contribute, such as the war in Ukraine and current state of affairs in Russia, temporary closing...

A true miracle I survived those years. Sometimes I have no idea how I even made it home but for the legions of angels looking after me. :)

I used to use Android but it became annoying to switch between it and iPhone when work bought me one. So I now use iPhone for both work and personal, but when I no longer need a work one, I'll likely switch back to Android. But then again, I don't see that happening any time soon and by the time...

I hardly remember high school. I remember going to the beach at lunchtime, drinking too much and then getting kicked out of afternoon classes as a regular occurrence. I'm lucky I graduated without ever getting expelled, which is my "proudest" moment. It was only recently that I learned why, too...

I don't think anyone (here) is telling you that you "should" be happy being independent. But what I see here is a little contradictory. You are single and independent and unhappy about it, but then you go on to say "as if I'd need to sacrifice independence..." as if you value independence. In a...

I wonder if this has to do with locus of validation. If it's internal, then you don't rely on others to fill that need, and you don't need others to make you feel more comfortable about your identity, your worth, esteem, etc. These people exude confidence and can feel content being both single...

Boundaries are so important! They protect your heart. This is a huge topic! Someone who you love... What does it mean to love someone? Love is the one moral absolute, but what that looks like is fluid. So what are the guiding principles for what it means to love someone? For me, it means...

Nothing is going to prevent a crime that hasn't yet been committed. People are going to do what they are going to do. If someone is premeditating, a likely jail sentence isn't going to stop them, and for a crime of passion, it happens in the heat of the moment and at that point, they aren't...

I find it interesting that some (all?) of the states have life or death sentences for people who have murdered someone, when the research says the chances of a murderer re-offending for violent crime is less than 3%, and there is research in California cited here: "Mullane said she was able to...

I think we mostly agree, and it's been a lively conversation. I'm not so sure I made any assumptions, but perhaps you have made one about my initial discussion with the guilty party. After all, that is the intent of the original discussion with the guilty party - to find the facts (and I like...

But I would be taking steps. I would be speaking with the unfaithful spouse and having some very difficult conversations about marriage, risk, sin, vows. Doing it this way is not the easy way out. It would be much easier to go to my friend and let them know their husband/partner is a cheating...

I would explain my rationale just the same as I did here. I would let her know that it was only fair to the marriage and to each of the parties to have the conversation between them as it is a marital matter, not a public matter. If the unfaithful partner did not have the conversation, it would...

It is the responsibility of the betrayer to tell the betrayed. I think of my own role as that of a facilitator to make that happen so their relationship can either be repaired or dissolved. I'm not sure what I would do if the person didn't confess to their spouse. I would likely make that a...
