Master 112

Once Chinese cause deaths of 50+million people, we can start the discussion. 

@112 they don't discriminate on who they commit crimes towards.

they're targeting specific ethnic groups and muslims broadly...

Road kill is free.  Lots of stray cats too.  

I found a dead deer on the side of the highway a few months back. It was decomposing and you could see its skull and some other bones. I took a picture but wish I picked up the skull now that I think back on it. :/

Growing up on a farm, and then running my own for many years got me spoiled with lots of available meat.  We always had a couple freezers just for home use.  I think the cost of fruits, veggies, and healthy foods is too high.  Good quality and healthy food should be affordable for everyone.  Maybe Canada needs food stamps?  

you mean, you don’t have to propel your scooter with your free leg? 

Alf has his scooter all 'bling'd out' so he can pick up all the ladies at the Bingo hall.  He's going to get into trouble when Mrs Alf finds out!

I love the snow.  I want it to snow snow snow.

No kidding

In the CDC existence..Absolute POWER Stat-U's corrupt absolutely!

With automation, and the 1%/10% making even more, yes EVEN MORE $... There needs to be a balance in this world, it's causing a lot of pain. 

Not so much welfare, but there really should be a stipend for all humans. There will be eventually, but the worlds population will need to shrink significantly. 

ROBOTS, PAY FOR US ALL. That's the future...

Oh,you mean to be able to live AND eat in Vancouver Victoria Toronto,it's getting out of hand.so many homeless and the government talks economy(for the rich).

How about do your elected jobs and start helping honest Canadians(the rest of us),try that on for size for a change, the rich really don't need your help.

@Jimmy McGill You are right, not enough people realize the importance of disability insurance. One's ability to work is the most valuable asset most people possess. 

All due respect to the legion, they, like just about everyone else, only heard the "you people" part and completely missed the point of his rant. 

The rule of life is that everyone is always misunderstanding you. It's unfortunate.

@112 the Nietzsche effect?

I play in the Victoria Sport and Social Club.  It's a pretty great league, but no help to you as it looks like you are on the mainland.  You might want to check out Urban Rec, it looks pretty similar to the VSSC.

oh for sure- and there are psychotherapeutic potentials, especially within the realm of psychedelics. i think there are people who know how to use them well, responsibly and to benefit today without a trained practitioner overseeing/guiding them, but there are revolutionary possibilities within the scope of psilocybin talk therapies imo. if research into it weren't so stilted by government and ideology throughout the past decades, i think we could have made very big strides in health and psychology by now. there's been a lot of wasted time.

what i had more in mind when i wrote the status, though, was the likely benefits it would have on the lives of persons with hard substance disorders; they'd be able to know their product, overdoses would be much less likely, and buying from regulated sources would better compel them to seek help, treatment and a healthier community. it would also be nice to get money away from the illegitimates making money in the trade right now.

one can dream  

Just look at the mess the government has done with legal pot,it was easier to get before it was legal, and It is about helping people, not always about money.

Corporate Canada has made it twice as expensive and half as potent,

It would be like going to the liquor store and buying a bottle of Scotch that was half water and more expensive,just as example.

Legalize all drugs and tax them accordingly to the bight they are on society, and big pharma might have to kick in billions for the damage they have done with opiates,so I really doubt this happens.

Hopefully the courts can help with that.

Portugal has the right idea with decriminalizing use. We can still go after the bastards that put fentanyl and other nasties in drugs and allow safe access at the same time. 

What if I told you 112 isn't a dude?

And I don't think having a conversation with Satan somewhere in space time necessarily makes someone weird.

thanks alf

^They hate us cause they anus 

Doughty just peanut butter and jealous

Read it 

Ah just forget it

I'm with Jimmy.

Care for a Donut?

Always.

A tad lugubrious, thanks(rainy mourn in Osaka).

I get not feeling aligned to anything in our current system, but I personally think it's always worth it to vote for whatever party/individual most closely agrees with your views, or is at least headed in a direction that gets closer to your wishes (even if it's not close at all).

In all fairness, no one is getting what they "want" here. It's just one big compromise. 

@Alflives - huh; I've heard of spoiled ballots, but I didn't know what they were/what purpose they served. Thanks for the information--I appreciate it and will look into it more.

@Jimmy McGill - a lot of my values and views come out of my lived experiences. People are typically very critical of the way I think about politics--but very few of them, I think, can relate to the life I've had. I've been living in Canada my whole life but feel like a foreigner. People for whom the current government/parliamentary/judicial/etc structures work can never well comprehend that they don't work for some people.

@Ceres - you should know after that vigilante shot that I'm an all-or-nothing thinker. :p

I think there are a lot of people who would be disillusioned with the system, particularly health and justice, its just that they haven't experienced it yet. I guess I'm a 'work from within' guy. 

I support athletic supporters because we have to protect our Crown Jewels.  

@112 There's a lot of mental illness going on in that country. Just so you know.

@Dazzle - go back to my other status update and respond to my questions there if you want to engage, thanks. You obviously don't 'pity my ignorance' if you're not willing to help me out of it.

Like, sorry if I don't believe in the same abstract concept as you, dude.

But if you do pity my ignorance- could you enlighten me to your level of proper understanding? I have a few questions that might cure my blindness on this topic if you're able to answer them.

How is mental illness reconcilable with Kantian free will/his compatibilist thoughts?

Does mental illness exist of itself or only in relativity to healthy brains?

Would you believe me if I told you I had an extended interaction with a sorcerer earlier this year or would you attribute it to mental dysfunction? Why?

&^@# it, I’ll bite. Assuming mental illness doesn’t exist, what’s the explanation for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder?

I've had a psychosis in the past and possibly have bipolar disorder.

I think there are spiritual/mystical explanations for both.

quinn 'sick nasty dekes & stickhandling' hughes

to use an old cdc favourite: 'nuff said.

don't be surprised if a trade happens imo.

even gretzky's without a contract right now-

no reason we couldn't sign him

anything can happen

really though i just want something exciting to happen/to get a player who fits in really well with the current group, is young, and could help keep the roster round when/if players like Hog/Pod break onto the team in a couple of years.

sorry you have boredom issues??

nucks are on a winning streak that could be extended tonight

seems like you simply want change for the sake of change

As a scenario, coastal. Don't be mud

since you feel i should interpret your posts

i'll do so in future

but what vegas showed us

is that it will take draft picks to achieve the outcome you want

and it won't be a low rounder

i doubt that investment is worth keeping both goalies safe from the expansion draft

Guess that depends how much value you place on legit keepers.

Just think of the assets you'd have to give up to trade for a one of our keepers.

But it is a fair way off, not much to worry about yet.

Brutal

The white collar makes it look like their heads are sticking out of a toilet bowl ffs.

why fix something if something is not broken. these were perfect

@Squamfan those jersey are awesome!

When did we trade for Danko Jones?

Pretty sure you got it wrong. It's Bronco Horvath.

I heard an interview earlier today with Beiska talking about Hovarth.  It should be great to see the Sundins hand off the presidency tonight.

they never do

My Starbucks name is "Cornelius".

Say, “no ice”.  I did that and I got all coffee.  It was cold too, and very refreshing.  I am in a scooter though, so people mostly treat me good.  

Abbotsford city transit is pretty bad in that the schedules don't run very often, but I've only had the buses be 15 or more minutes late maybe 2 times.

@Gäz  ahhhhh....I have memories of taking "the loser cruiser" (oh, I've heard them all having to rely on transit in my University days ) to SFU in winter.  Especially the rare times we had a huge dump of snow.  Buses couldn't get up the hill so we all had to get off and make the trek up ourselves.

@NewbieCanuckFan My lady went to SFU; she does nooooot miss that transit route at all.
