Indeed, attempts to criminalize peaceful panhandling have become a kind of values battleground: the commercial interest of downtown business owners vs. beggars' right to plead for subsistence; social hygiene vs. freedom of expression; middle-class discomfort vs. underclass need. The last phrase encapsulates what is most questionable about Winnipeg's bylaw. When we sweep beggars under a legal carpet, we deny them a basic right of citizenship -- the right to communicate their plight to society. Just as important, when we restrict peaceful panhandling, we deny to society an opportunity to gain direct awareness of such social problems as poverty, homelessness, unemployment and substance abuse. I am not claiming that freedom of expression is an absolute value. It is a fundamentally importa...

The main effect of inference type (AC > MP) may seem somewhat surprising at first sight. In general MP is scored at least as high as AC or higher than AC in reasoning tasks (see Evans & Twyman-Musgrove, 1998; Newstead et al., 1997). However, this result can easily be explained when we inspect the results of the interaction effect between credibility (high-low) and inference type (MP-AC). We discern two elements in this interaction effect. Firstly, we observe the low MP-score in the low credibility condition. When participants read an implausible promise, they may more easily accept an AC-inference than an MP-inference. In an ACinference, the consequent, which specifies the reward of the promise, however implausible it may be, has already been given. So, people reason that the ant...

Generally, if 78 per cent is the overall roll average, and your property assessment increase is above that average, you could pay higher taxes," said Nelson Karpa, the director of Winnipeg's assessment and taxation department. That's true, but the city has yet to compute the average increase for Winnipeg commercial properties between 2003 and 2008. While there are fewer commercial properties than residential homes, the value of commercial properties tends to be higher. The absolute latest you can contact the city is the end of the winter, when city assessors begin preparing your property tax notices, which will be mailed out in July. "If we haven't heard from you by March of next year, we're almost out of time," Karpa says. "We can't be making adjustment to the roll, the day before not...

It seems we have gotten caught on the horns of yet another ethical dilemma touching on birth and age: How old is too old to have children? The Feb. 9 editorial, Improbable babies, states that "it is not right to have a baby simply because you want one..." After citing two examples in which in vitro fertilization may have played a role, it concludes by questioning the ethics of performing such "questionable and costly procedures that... create undeniable burdens on society. Actually, as a consequence of denying any absolute basis for the value of life, we find ourselves caught in a variety of dilemmas: when is a fetus viable, or when does a person no longer have quality of life, for example. Most people aren't comfortable playing God, but the good news is, you don't have to when you can...

Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...
