  1. RT @ryanchenwing: nyti.ms/LiknSc …community service has become a patch for morality…
  2. @StDavidWaterloo Culture Club's chopstick food transfer competition drew big crowds. Next week: Bollywood dance-off.
  3. First ever meeting of @StDavidWaterloo Culture Club today w/ rep from CN, PH, SY, MX, US, & CA. Note: Taiyuan != Taiwan.
  4. Stand back. I'm going to try science! bit.ly/UALns bit.ly/HJBjhO
  5. World Down Syndrome Day. Dedicated to the sweetest, most loving human beings you'll ever meet. youtu.be/jVxz71ygHbk
  6. Check out FIRST Robotics Waterloo Regional this Fri & Sat from 9:30am to 5pm at UW PAC. Free. Awesome. Go. bit.ly/GBpbw3
  7. @WoodworthMP "The notion that certain opinions cannot safely be allowed a hearing is growing." - George Orwell: Freedom of the Park, 1945
  8. @charleslin44 Think of it as metastasizing, rather than departing. We can't be keeping this lamp under a bushel basket!
  9. 12 kids @ the 1st meeting of the @StDavidWaterloo #prolife club. Next: The Pier Giorgio Frassati Society. bit.ly/x0Iqn1
  10. 1st meet of @StDavidWaterloo Debate Soc drew 10 kids & 1 regret. 1% of the school is good, but we can do better, Mr. Speaker.
  11. @WoodworthMP If "no one" wants to debate this, then I guess I'm not a "human being" either.
  12. @WoodworthMP Huge interest in new pro-life club at @StDavidWaterloo school. Young people get it.
  13. @WoodworthMP seeks a just, evidence-based definition of "human being." youtu.be/hNS5StnQ-u4
  14. @SomeCndnSkeptic @Corntea_knits Great chatting, folks. But I'm off to start a pro-life group at the school. Have a great day.
  15. @Corntea_knits Agreed. But parents have legal obligation to support born child until 18. Duties and sacrifice are natural expectations.
  16. @SomeCndnSkeptic Wrong. Free speech is a negative right as it requires others to not do anything to impede it. I don't have to help.
  17. @SomeCndnSkeptic Postitive rights impose a duty on others to take an action. Criminal law generally forbids actions. Abortion is active.
  18. @SomeCndnSkeptic Oops. You cited voting and association as positive rights. Voting is iffy. Association is definitely a negative right.
  19. @SomeCndnSkeptic As for positive vs. negative rights, you cited free speech as a positive right, which it is not. I just ran with you.
  20. @alexmatan @woodworthmp Abortion should be illegal. As should slavery. So there should be punishments. We punish infanticide and slavery.
