Full article: https://theconversation.com/cherokee-nation-wants-to-send-a-delegate-to-the-house-its-an-idea-older-than-congress-itself-191738 The treaty article in question: "Shall" is a bit of a weasel word. As I read this, the Cherokee are entitled to a delegate in the House only if...

All I can say is that if this were the law in Ontario, I would have killed myself by now, either directly or through addiction. Thread split from LGBT News @Cloud_Strife sparked a good conversation that deserves its own thread. What exactly does it mean to restrict or deny potentially...

I wasn't a big fan of the Twenty-Teens. Yes, I experienced a lot of personal growth. I also experienced more personal setbacks and more personal roadblocks than I could have ever imagined in 2009. I give the last decade a B- and I hope for much better this coming decade: Surgeries Expanded LGBT...

Do journalists translate Trump as if what he said was in proper English, or is he translated with poor grammar and simplistic word choices? Does he sound as stupid or crazy translated as he does untranslated?

Hi, CFC. It's been a while. I'm currently in the process of transitioning from male to female. I'm currently on Hormone Replacement Therapy(HRT) and on provincial waiting list for sex reassignment surgery(SRS). I imagine most of you do not know anyone like me and you might have always wondered...

So, I'm visiting my mom for upwards of 2 weeks. She's in Western Montana. Few of you are conceivably in range to make that happen. But I'll have layovers in Minneapolis, Detroit and Toronto for 2+ hours if anyone wants coffee. Tickets ain't bought but looking like leaving the 6th on October and...

Let me lay out my cards here: I'm having a really hard time seeing the other side of this case. I can see the other side, legally, as it's been decided; I cannot see why people actually think GZ is completely innocent. Without a clear answer, a very convenient answer is that a lot of the...

This is like the morning after a really good party. We won DOMA, any challenges to section 2 seemed to be primed to kill the rest of DOMA: a same-sex marriage in New York will still be a marriage in Mississippi. There's work to be done between now and then but that's the writing on the wall...

So here we have a vaccination that already is going to save tens of thousands of lives and has the potential to save tens of thousands more. It does not seem to have any major negatives: neither does it have adverse effects itself nor does it encourage sexual activity. So of course, we'll...

http://gawker.com/for-sale-a-video-of-toronto-mayor-rob-ford-smoking-cra-507736569 This is a culmination of months of epic Toronto mayor shenanigans. From walking face-first into a TV camera: mj8haZzvaE8 To nearly being thrown out of office...

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/2nd-child-pa-couple-dies-praying-19020607#.UXck9rWG1Bl We really give religion too much leeway. How do you walk away from letting your kid die with probation? You say yada-yada-yada-respect-my-religious-beliefs -- and bam, you can't criticize an action of...

Short excerpt from a fantastic article: (emphasis in original) I highly recommend you read the whole article at: http://nursingclio.org/2013/04/02/same-sex-marriage-does-threaten-traditional-marriage/ Anyway, to summarize, because SSM is a genderless marriage, it affirms that...

This is a continuation of my previous thread. Okay hi guys! I want to take a virtual vacation and travel the world, visiting you all. My idea is to buy a disposable camera and mail it to another CFC member. That CFC member will take one picture and then forward the camera to the next CFC...

Ted Cruz channels Joe McCarthy so hard I'm surprised he's not being sued by McCarthy's ghost for copyright infringement: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/comment/2013/02/ted-cruz-sees-red-not-crimson-at-harvard.html This is the guy who also grandiosely claimed that Chuck Hagel's...

Hello, y'all. For the past 6 months, I've been volunteering with a local HIV/AIDS charity, giving presentations about what HIV/AIDS is, how it's spread, risk factors and prevention. While not formally part of my tasks, I also interacted with HIV/AIDS patient support staff, giving me some...

This is a bit personal, but I want the feedback and advice from people I don't know too well. I'm not sure if some members of my family could be objective in giving advice. So here's the heart of the issue. When my father was 19, he had a daughter. She was given up for adoption. 15 years...
