PornAddict, read the rest of my quote: My point above is, he is caught and will be facing jail time for abusing his wife. Which is exactly what is supposed to happen in our society. Why is this case any different than any other case? The thing is, no one seems to hold other immigrant...

That is a straw man argument. First, we don't even know if this story is even real to begin with (see what I wrote in post #5 of the source of this news), but let's assume for argument's sake that this is a real news event -- that a Syrian refugee happens to be an abusive husband who beat his...

It's worth keeping in mind that only in the US (particularly the southern, formerly Confederate, states in the US) did the "one drop rule" ever apply. No where else (including Canada) was the one drop rule ever applied to define some as "black".

What exactly is the point of this thread? That a Syrian Muslim refugee happens to be an abusive husband who beats his wife? As if abuse doesn't occur among any other ethnic groups in Canada? As if there aren't white Canadian males who go out there and abuse their wives or girlfriends? :rolleyes...

I have read the article in question, and do find it interesting (and disturbing). That being said, I am skeptical about whether the strain of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea can be directly linked specifically to unprotected oral sex, as opposed to unprotected sexual activities more broadly. I...

The majority of Tamils in Sri Lanka are indeed Hindu, but there are minorities of both Christians and Muslims. I wanted to note that Tamil Muslims in Sri Lanka are known there as Sri Lanka Moors (based on a theory that they are descended from Arab merchants/traders who intermarried with the...

The reason why Tamils have long names is because they do not have given names and surnames in the way that most Western societies do. Instead they follow the patronymic system, where one has a given name, followed by one's father's given name as a surname or last name. For example, if your...

I feel that you are being overly optimistic on the state of robotics with respect to self-driving cars. See the Scientific American article (unfortunately behind a pay wall). http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-self-driving-cars-will-really-look-like/

Amazon probably has a contingency plan in place during potential strikes by postal/mail services around the world. As for me, I only receive certain magazine subscriptions & my monthly Metropass in the mail. All of my bills are handled electronically (as is my T4 statement). And I'm sure TTC...

Madonna, as to your original question, it's difficult to answer because we don't know whether you can generalize the overweight clients you know to overweight men in general. That being said, I can speculate that for (at least some) men, the attraction of SPs is the opportunity to meet and be...

Fuji, what you say above may be true of you and some other men, but one cannot conclude that this is some general overarching rule.

DiCaprio is of mostly German descent. His mother is from Germany, & his father is an American of Italian and German descent.

Quebec, BC, and Manitoba have access to vast reserves of power that Ontario does not have (in fact, Quebec exports electric power to neighbouring provinces such as Ontario & New Brunswick along with neighbouring US states such as Vermont).

Unfortunately the news article above doesn't provide a link to the actual research paper by the researchers. As someone who has been involved in medical research, the details of the experiment or the study, and the methods used to determine the findings is important. Looks like I'm going to...

Strongly disagree -- IMO she is not even close to being fat. She is pretty much what I would describe as "curvy", and has the type of body I find attractive. Maybe you're primarily into spinners then?

Also agree with boomboom as well - fantastic and lovely pics.

I had originally intended to avoid wading into this, but in this instance I am with Frankfooter. Just because someone has won the Nobel Prize for research in a given field does not mean that he/she has any knowledge or expertise in other fields. Ivar Giaever is a physicist who won the Nobel...

Hi everyone! I was wondering how many of you here on TERB have used airbnb to book places in Toronto, & what your experiences were like. My father was telling me that some consultants for his company who were visiting used airbnb, & managed to get a great offer.

Another question I would have is what is going to happen to the real estate space taken up by the HMV store on Bloor Street. I'm curious what store/business will ultimately take its place.

Here is a question for everyone - people talk about streaming services like Netflix and Shomi, but I've found that there are many films, especially foreign or indie films, that are not available through Netflix. Where can we go to get a hold of these films? Also, if someone wants to buy DVDs...
