I request that the Mod. render an opinion.
I agree. I think this thread should be moved to the Politics, Philosophy, and Religion forum. |

| The queen isn't foreign, she is a Canadian citizen. She just also happens to be a citizen of the UK, Australia, New Zealand etc. She may not legally be a non-citizen, but she is "foreign" in that she spends most of her time in the UK; she doesn't really seem "Canadian." In the United States, we had... |

| Conscientiousness is a dimension of personality in the Five Factor model, including planfulness, tidiness, achievement striving/work ethic, thoroughness, etc. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder takes conscientiousness to a dysfunctional extreme. |

| My understanding is that, as Queen of Canada , Elizabeth II's prerogatives, as delegated to the governor-general, constitutionally derive completely separately from her role as queen over her other realms (the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and that this has been true for some decades... |

| Conservative painter Jon McNaughton, as seen on The Colbert Report, clearly shows empathy for "the other side." I think, as McNaughton's examples show, extreme ideologues and partisans from the liberal or Democratic side and the conservative or Republican side often have trouble understanding each o... |

| Does anyone else feel that they "bloomed" too late? Compared to others my age and of comparable intelligence, I picked up the social skills I have now much, much later. I am probably at least ten years behind in most social developmental milestones. Through most of college, I was a loner and definit... |

| If you're lucky enough to have a professional career, you may have encountered a more subtle, sophisticated kind of annoyance than you had to put up with when unemployed, in part-time or unskilled work, or pursuing your education. It is the existential threat organization men and women pose to one's... |
