Jason Collins came out last week amidst much news coverage which surprised the hell out of me because up until last week I had never heard of Jason Collins. A completely unremarkable athlete/basketball player whose only real achievement in the sport is being the first official gay basketball player. Good for him though, as much as […]
So Colin posts about abortion and I’m tackling religion. It seems we’re both breaking our own rules today. I don’t talk about religion as a rule because these conversations never seem to go well. I see no point in these conversations in general. However today, I’m crossing that line. Pope Benedict XVI (now Pope Emeritus) […]
Hell, you knew it was coming at some point. I tried to avoid the tired topic that is abortion, but on a site like this, it almost feels like copping out. To make this interesting however, we’re going to first look at this from a different angle, and somewhere in here, I’ll give you a […]
I had originally planned on writing a really juicy piece on sex trafficking at the Super Bowl. Reports of up to 400,000 women, each expected to see up to 50 clients per day, all smuggled in for the biggest and manliest of all sporting events. A one day extravaganza of sport, food and sex. It […]
I could name the key players in the Syria conflict. I could talk about the continued economic problems within the Eurozone and the possible battle Angela Merkel will face on her road to re-election. You don’t want me to wade in on the gun control debate spreading like wildfire through the US. I love world […]
First off I am going to acknowledge that I’m proudly not an American, so I do realize that we as Canadians aren’t banning assault rifles. I haven’t suddenly forgotten where I’m from. For some reason when it comes to politics, I like to pretend that American politics are our own. Partly because Canadian politics is mind-numbingly boring […]
Read something the other day that for complete disregard for a better term, pissed me off. Essentially, according to respected Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich, “Nobody, in my view, has the right to have 12 children or even three unless the second pregnancy is twins”. Hmm. First, without even getting into the morals or ethics or […]
Back in October, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled 9-0 that carriers with low levels of HIV no longer need to disclose their condition to sexual partners. The ruling is an obvious statement of the court’s intention to make decisions based on fact, rather than public opinion. Needless to say, the public opinion is far […]
