I’m not the only one complaining about the state of our media, but I thought I should point out an obvious blunder by our so called journalists. It’s nothing new to show our media prefers the sensational, it’s nothing new that our journalists are lazy and shallow. It’s not even

Disclaimer: I did not write this, I am merely posting this essay here for convenience sake; it’s nowhere else online, except in Google Books inside of a book. If I am breaking any laws, and someone wants me to take it down, I will comply. Onwards! On one subject everyone

After reading more than half of Freedom, I went searching for reviews and criticisms, looking for something that expressed what I thought I thought. Sadly, there was no review or description that captured how I felt about this book, so I have decided to write a review myself. Here it

Nobility, royalty and wealth are all repulsive concepts that our society has been slowly phasing out due to increased humanity and understanding. Wealth is the most accepted concept out of the three, rarely being attributed to negative things, when it should be. The idea of wealth, much like royalty requires

It’s easier to please those on the top. It’s far more beneficial to please those on the top, as they can benefit you the best. The underclass and the commoners are easier to ignore when you’re surrounded by those on the top. The Conservatives don’t care about you. Well, you being the

Charles McVety is a sort of leader of Canada’s undercovered (thank god) leader of the religious right. Evangelicals and Catholics alike.  Here’s what he has to say about Islam, and I think it speaks for itself: Islam is not just a religion, it’s a political and cultural system as well and we

As I’ve alluded to before, leader’s debate tend to be more about show than value. Your ability to speak and respond trumps all, as that’s what the format requires. Many treat it like a game, a political game, and tally points. It can often be useless. Just like the first NDP

So it goes with Tory hacks, just show up and do what you’re told. Where isn’t too important, why isn’t too important either. You just have to do it, for whatever your interests may be. It may be power, it may be money, it may even be a combination of

Niceness is the recognition of grace over substance. Niceness is the recognition of approach versus fact. Niceness is the social system of hypocritical suppression of negativity (fair or not) towards individual members. Niceness expects you to curb any dispositions or objective standards you have in order to support the emotional insecurity of

“This concentration of official power [in the Cabinet Ministers] is, I think, inevitable and up to a point desirable, but it must be kept under parliamentary control if political and personal freedom is not to be intolerably diminished.” How true. How true.

Mr. Speaker, from 1913 to 1956, a period of over 40 years, time limits on debates were used 10 times. In the last 40 days, a time limit has been used seven times, making a new historical record. What used to be the exception to the rule appears to now be

Anyone who seldom follows politics, follows politics occasionally, or even someone who gets a lot of news for few sources would find the question “Would Harper and his Conservatives prefer a dictatorship?” be absurd, insulting and disgraceful. The notion that a Canadian politician – whether they be left or right

The euro zone faces a 40 per cent chance of another recession as fears mount that the debt crisis will escalate further. Says a particular article in the Ottawa Citizen. My first reaction was: whaaa… Then a recognition of the stupidity, absurdity and sheer journalistic laziness of including such a figure and assertion.

Get your pens out, but make sure you get your vocal chords ready too. It’s time for a deeply philosophical discussion. And what does a philosophy discussion consist of? Overestimation, arrogance and typically a disregard for nuances. Broad overestimations backed by arrogance pave the way for many wonderful theories on the meaning

This post has been immediately inspired by a semi-recent vlog-brothers video that somebody linked me. The part that’s relevant to this post, and the part that really interested me was the website in which you can become your own banker/lender of money. To anyone, but primarily to those in the developing

Here’s a quote from a self-expressed libertarian defense. What makes me a small-’l’ libertarian isn’t that I believe it’s impossible—or easy—to reconfigure human brains using sufficiently advanced technology, or any other method. What makes me a libertarian is that the prospect of having that reconfiguration done by the same system

I’ve been sufficiently annoyed by an uploaded youtube video, so I’m going to write a response here because youtube comments isn’t the best means to get my thoughts across on the internet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VhYMdnAsyM CharactersTo begin on a positive note, I agree that likable characters are not necessary for quality literature. Well-developed,

The Federal Conservatives have been pushing out some superficial moves to bring Canada back to it’s traditional roots. Renaming the military was one of those moves. Putting the “Royal” back into our troops, to stir up traditionalistic pride and garner cheap political points with the oldies/traditionalists. Now our Feds want to see
