Guess what the speed limit is on East Hastings. No, don’t bother, you’ll never guess. It’s 30 kph. Not mph, OK? Kph—because too many colorful personalities (not to say junkies and whores) were getting bumped by thoughtless cars zooming past at 50k. So the miserable Anglican newspapers and the miserable Anglo news shows crusaded for walking-speed limits to preserve the insufficiently-endangered fauna. You live in Canada for a few months and you know down deep in your spleen why the working whites vote Tory. They know damn well the Tories hate’em, use’em, but you just get so goddamn angry at the bum-hugging post-Anglicans who’d let you and your dog die because you won’t grovel but love, love love, love, an outright bum, wanna wash his feet for the six o’clock news every damn night. Don’t try to scrape by in Vancouver; you’ll never do it. Wages are miserable and prices are Dubai level. You’re way better off just giving up like the people we knew in Brentwood Bay, whiny thieves who floated on subsidized methadone. If you haven’t used Methadone…oh, it’s paradise. And they get it free on the Eastside. If you give up.

Amended: riots are incredibly surreal. I wandered into a student-sports riot not all that dissimilar from the penn state coach thing, and it was like stepping around a nightmare. Smoke everywhere, yelling, attack dogs, crowds surging this way and that, people throwing things, cops shooting pepper spray and beanbags. This was a few years ago, and what has really stayed with me is how weird it felt. Like, even before I realized what was going on, from the periphery, my body could tell that there was something dangerous going on.

No, your attitude is what's wrong here. I'm not going to start some huge nerdy flame battle over the internet. So we can agree to disagree, but you shouldn't put down the military is all I'm saying. It is easy to subjectively pass judgement upon them from the safety and anonymity of your home. But they fight a battle they too disagree with. You should try to think of the things they go through, and if you did, you wouldn't be calling them "dogs". So go fuck yourself and have a nice day

you and others are racist towards her because she is completely white, all the way through. you're an absolute scumbag. a distortion to reality.
filth.

oh mandy. i saw fiddler on the roof years ago on broadway i guess. harvey fierstein played the old raspy dude which ruled. mandy doesn't seem like a shtetl type. more like a convert to christianity to become a minor state official.

i used to go to a pub down the road from st pauls a whole bunch, it was full of city boys, early in the evening theyd be quacking away merrily at each other but by closing time thered always be this weird melancholy in their eyes, as if theyd realised that all their jouissance was a hollow simulacrum of actual happiness & that future generations would remember them as parasites or not at all. i find it funny b/c im literally never sad
