Comment on New school bans the word “school” by Steve L.-

PP I wish I’d said it then. Regardless it’s a good dose of reality that youth should be aware of. My 11 y/o grandson seem to have the idea he can take his present personal habits and coolness into a work place and doesn’t understand Mom won’t be there to get him out the door and to work on time. Who ever wrote it, and SOMEONE had to should be awarded something.

Well that shoots holes in the premise that children can be raised in a same sex household.

STEVE L:

Good advice, but you have been the victim of a popular pass-along. Gates NEVER said those things in an speech to high school students. That was debunked several years ago. I don’t know if such a speech has ever been given by anyone to high school students. It should have been, and I’d like to believe it has been, but NO SOURCE for that advice has EVER been identified.

Judging from what went on in Georgia last summer, that doesn’t appear likely.

It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but I tend to think of Jesus as looking like Willem Dafoe in The Last Temptation of Christ.

Comment on National Post columnist repeats blunder about abortion by Scott Gilbreath

I’ll get to St Jerome in a moment but, even without him, the statement in my previous comment stands:

The authorities I cited are more than sufficient to prove you wrong.

You made a categorical claim that "pro-life Christians" did not view abortion as a grave sin until “circa 1968”. It takes only a single counter-example to prove you wrong. Now you’re claiming that a certain level of notoriety is required. That’s the same diversion you tried to put over on Douglas Farrow last July. It doesn’t carry any more logical force now that it did then. Referring to tragic cases of consecrated Christian virgins who try to conceal the guilt of fornication, St Jerome wrote:

Some even ensure barrenness by the help of potions, murdering human beings before they are fully conceived. Others, when they find they are with child as a result of their sin, practice abortion with drugs, and so frequently bring about their own death, taking with them to the lower world the guilt of three crimes: suicide, adultery against Christ, and child-murder.

They aren’t, actually: St. Jerome, for example, specifically told a correspondent that “seeds are gradually formed in the uterus, and it is not reputed homicide until the scattered members received their appearance.” He does not belong on your list; not coincidentally, he is the most prestigious name on it.

Comment on Russia moving toward oppressive stagnation by Emil

Russia ‘cannot remain a powerful nation.’ Right, I fear that the Russian leaders will do anything to keep things going. They have a lot of military technology to sell; so, the question for the world is whether Russia can remain a peaceful nation.
