Can you help me understand your comment? What do you mean by this?

What exactly are you trying to say here? That people can't change their minds? That HN is a hivemind ? (news flash: it's not , it's more diverse than you actually think) or that everything is attributed to "Politics is a

Actually, as a Christian (Catholic), I 100% agree with your assertion. While all regions claim truth, Christianity really centers itself on this idea. In fact, this is repeated over and over again, so much so that I've lost count of th

I'm surprised to see these types of reactionary / rage-bait comments bubble up in HN threads recently. I personally find that they don't add much value to discussion. Perhaps it's a sign of the community growing with out

If I were to make an off topic comment and by no means I am picking on you personally, however as another Canadian, I find this general attitude of Canadians towards innovation unsettling and dare I say it's the reason why we are alway

Truth is absolutely _not_ subjective.. a person is either alive or dead, the earth is either flat or not flat, e = mc2 is either true or false, .. I could go on. Reminds me of a quote from 1984: "In the end, the Party would announce t

People need to understand that politicians (dare I say everywhere?..) are just business man with dressing. They simply put up a show for people to win the votes and once they get elected, do whatever they can to make an extra buck. Trump, a

I agree, a "well informed" society would be wonderful but we have a long way to get there and even then, highly educated people are not immune to misinformation and propaganda. Not everything is black and white, there are always s

I think a democratic nation is well within its rights to restrict its citizens access of certain systems. There is no such thing as unlimited liberty, especially with regards to systems under control of hostile nations such as China and Rus

How else should the parent had framed his comment ? Can you give an example of the correct wording ? I’m genuinely confused because his comment was valuable to me. OP had either made an error or was attempting to mislead the audience by dow

That’s great but all you have done is basically kick the can down the line and killed many innocent people in the process. It’s not like you haven wiped out Iran permanently (not advocating for this obviously, I’m Iranian!) or achieved anyt

They did but they left so many loopholes that was it was basically pointless. Foreigners simply started making an incorporation or using any of the quick "PR" schemes to be able to purchase a property. Many people will even pool m

The thing is even if the government did this, it’s easy to get around it, many landlords simple setup an incorporation or even multiple ones to purchase properties. It’s easy and cheap in Canada.

I’ve also been working with Rails for many years now but I disagree I think developer and happiness are subjective and I’ve seen great applications being built by many people in various languages. The key is picking the tool you are most pr

Boring fact: The underlying theme of the movie Her is actually divorce and the destructive impact it has on people, the futuristic AI stuff is just for stuffing!

And the court of law later determined that this was an abuse of power and unlawful. The fact that there is an existing law that can be abused does not negate the argument that abusing it is unlawful.

I beg to differ, the polls say otherwise regarding who the population wants and more importantly, the unhealthy coalition of NDP / Liberals have been preventing the parliament from functioning, we would have had an election by now had

Care to elaborate? If you have thoughts on what has been said, what could have been said better or what you agree/disagree with, please share it so we can have a comprehensive conversation about a real issue that is affecting millions

I beg to differ, I think import 5x the amount of population from the same part of the world has a major impact on any country, especially if the government doesn't plan for the sudden increase in population by expanding infrastructure,

Why would that be the case?

It's mind boggling you are denying the fact that having many people from the same group clustered in a "multicultural" environment has no impact on society has a whole. Of course it does, this is why we have laws protecting m

Seriously ? People in the West have similar cultural values and customs for one which averts a whole set of social issues for a given nation, denying it and crying "racism" is just silly imo, it's an open secret that a homoge

In a Catholic and the way those verses are interpreted is that it’s not that you have to give up all your money but give up greed, it basically means that you should not worship your wealth but place your highest of high towards God, then a

Exactly, it’s like people complaining about locks when they hand over their keys to another person and suffer theft. The lesson here is using granular permissions and sharing things selectively, more importantly never giving master access t

As a Catholic, I appreciate how Christian it is of course but I would be surprised if other people, especially atheists felt the same. I’m wondering how it hasn’t come under scrutiny yet?

Interestingly enough while the Canadian constitution doesn’t flat out permits this, it does allow the province to have a binding referendum and should a vote come to pass by it’s people, it forces the federal government to seriously conside

How are you reaching these conclusions?

Ironically you didn’t write a thoughtful and substantive comment whereas parent clearly expressed his opinion in detail. If you disagree with any of his points, which you clearly do, I suggest that you share them so we can have a conversati

I suppose it depends on the person but the older I get, the less patience I have for people and the more I rather focus on myself, hobbies and quiet time. I don’t have time for fake social gatherings or pretending like parent does. If I mee
