  1. It’s not the principle of doing something in regards to pollution, it’s the political game and practicality behind it all that is don’t support and find completely a waste of time. Don't conflate issues. A,so, these scientists don’t agree on this subject in the slightest. Like any other political pressures, people bend and people like Gretta get their day in the sun. We’ve seen it before, so did Galileo, etc. These Weatern kids aren’t going to stop buying their cloths, shoes, phones, backpacks, gadgets etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc from the offshore mega-polluters, so what are they actually accomplishing while marching in the streets of their relatively responsible countries where pollution is as disconnected from their realities as hunger is? The very people marching are the consumers. Was their solution to stop buying imported junk which is actually causing the measurable change you refer to? No. So, it’s just another yawn-fest; another look at me, I care moment. Sipping their coffee from a deforested “fair trade” cup of coffee, holding an IPhone and wearing some Columbia or North Face clothing, they are platforming about pollution? How pathetic is that, especially to skip school for it all. Maybe they should take some more earth science classes instead. What i I don’t take seriously about global warming, turned climate change, is the idea that we will fare any better than the Myans or whoever else went through real, earth-made climate change, which is an earthquake away from starting off a bottled up series of events we definitely will have more trouble surviving than anything we can curse the surface of this crusty old ball of hate with. Heck, a single meteor or asteroid could place us in a fossil record just above the dinosaurs, which is also a pending fate and a science worth the kids’ time.
  2. I’m an outdoorsy kind of guy in Kamloops. I’m not some bearded lumberjack shirt wearing guy from Delta telling anyone about the environment which I care for. Its very difficult to separate the politics from the rest. There are less truths on the subject than there are lies. It’s become an industry. This whole protest thing is political. How else did it get momentum? These kids are puppets. Like every other hashtag of the day, consumers and NPC drones do their masters’ bidding without even knowing it. I live in Kamloops on the shores of what was once a glacial lake and in a valley which has seen several glacial periods, not one caused by man, which is the endgame-hysteria behind the claims of climate change. I am constantly reminded of climate change. Doesn’t anybody know we’ve just lived and prospered through one of the most stable climate phases in a very, very, very long time? We are overdue for an ice bath, big time. It’s coming and happening no matter what any of us do. This is the political part I find entirely misleading about this “science”. Like a buffet, the facts are picked over and dished up to suit the needs and tastes of narratives out there. This Gretta kid, for instance, is a disgusting display of puppeteering. I want none of that, served up at face value, taken seriously by serious, critically thinking people. She works in manufacturing for those who profit on this misleading and misinformation, IMO. They’ve found their pawn to emotionally engage the disbanding youth before they get too far down the rabbit hole of alternate theories.
  3. If both Hutton and Goldy are off the opening roster then there isn’t a single thing I didn’t get from my fan-wish list this season. They signed and traded their way into the kind of players and hockey I like to watch and support. 1 more hour of shame left in my fan-life then it’s smooth sailing from here. Thanks JB!
  4. A lot of hot air, but he finally gets to it during the last minute.
  5. Peluso was looking like a champ and of course Reeves would have been the best thing possible, but that’s not the Canucks way. We’d rather Cowan, Hordi, Ryp, Prust, etc, certainly no legit enforcers.
  6. Yes, lots of yes. EP will likely be all of that in another year too, plus the super star stuff to boot. I noticed the Canucks’ body language suggest EP is a leader. Bo is the elder statesman for sure, but EP is everything Bo was that age, and more, IMO, minus the PK, but that’s partly due to eating his skill as mean as it has been because of his 165lb kid body. Give him a year.
  7. Would not buying things from China, Walmart, Superstore, etc, where goods are sourced from substandard practices which result in pollution, be a start? The earth is very much in for a seriously dire climate change, regardless if humans are strutting around on its surface like the plague we are. The raping of the oceans, deforestation and fracking currently occurring in countries and by populations far away from the West, and the majority of these protesters-in-creed, are going to prevent what, exactly, and exactly which aspect of climate change? Like I’ve said elsewhere, once one of these many, long overdue seismic or cosmic event-cycles finally starts back up, choking the skies beyond our comprehension, Al Gore and David Suzuki will forget all about trying to convince us all that humans are at all relevant in earth’s climate change. Meanwhile, unless you are radically different from the rest of us humans, by all means, behave as you should in our environment. But don’t lecture me about how to prevent climate change in the West when you consume, like our education system has taught us “wised-up consumers”, products of the mega corporations like Walmart who source products from offshore mega polluters. Your new iPhones and internet connections probably caused more climate change than Tolko, for instance, will ever have, obviously. Kids in the West, look at where your products come from and start there if you want to effect policy and global change, purely by economics as the consumer.
  8. Just going to respond to the hostility part. I think she is within her rights to file charges. I also think she’s right to show daddy a thing or two about respect. She’s done nothing wrong or worthy of criticism. And man is she fit!
  9. Again, and hopefully for the last time, I posted what I thought was an interesting aside and fact, that the Responding Officer was responding to a sex crime, which is in the first sentence of the police report. You and I both agree that nothing in this story says sex crime, so why were the police responding to one? End of. That’s the point of me bringing up the police report, not victim shaming or my supposed making of excuses for those dickheads having harassed that woman. Next, the daddy stuff. Thanks for the info. So, what I have now is that daddy said something along the lines of, “my son wouldn’t do that.” And he’s an awful human for it because, you know, no mother would ever err on the side of their kid before hearing all the facts, as you know very well, Mama Deb... Hideous monster daddy is just like most dads, I bet. But sure, maybe daddy made a dick move; he shoulda, woulda, coulda said something else. We’ve all been there with our kids, I’m almost sure of that. Like I said, and as you’re parroting above, the trying to get into a car is the creepy part of this. I found those actions to be the actual crimes, but I’m no jury. Why isn’t that the focal point though? Because ripping his pants off is the headliner... so come on, let’s just admit that sex sells, just like this story was meant to. You are lecturing me on that the story is the summation of those events, when clearly it’s not, or at least wasn’t at first, which is where and when I got my info, but I said all that so I don’t get why I’d need to repeat that. The story itself doesn’t particularly interest me. I’ve seen drunken mischief and misdemeanours and all that so many times in my youth that this doesn’t even register as interesting. I don’t believe the woman was in actual danger, I think the guys were not malicious or greasy, but I wasn’t there to be certain. Having that video of the incident would sure be nice right now... I’m not saying I’m right about anything. All I wanted to initially post was to highlight was the sex crime aspect and to say that dropping your pants doesn’t mean what it used to, I guess. Feel free to disagree. It’s not an argument, it’s an opinion. Lastly, at the expense of more victim shaming perceptions here, why in the puck did she get out of her car, under all the very creepy conditions you described above, to confront this drunk mob of frisky men if she was so terrified? Not saying she wasn’t terrified, I’m asking why would she get out of the car? She’s a war vet, a tactically trained person taught how to protect herself under fire, correct? I’d hope that our ladies would have more sense than to voluntarily exit a locked car under those circumstances, let alone a war vet.
  10. Trade him and Virtanen and Goldy or something for Lowry and Ehlers.
  11. What a beauty. And I’d still try to trade Horvat for his brother even if I collect those crooked little face things by those who can’t see past their own noses.
  12. Whatever you say, Deb. Keep your pants, up, agreed. I am not defending the behaviour. Of all the things these morons did during this incident, this is the crime? Pretty boring news title otherwise I bet. I asked what the dad is claiming she’s lied about, but nobody replied. I don’t know. Why are you outraged at the dad, exactly? I hear he called the war vet victim a liar, but what she’s lied about, nobody is saying in here. Maybe you know. Have you ever mooned anyone? I don’t think I have, but I know it’s more common than pulling on a car door handle, of an occupied car at 2am, the creepy part of the harassment, in my books, yet this is sensational news - Man drops pants in front of mentally ill female war vet... We all know what that phrase implies in the headlines. I’d rather just concede that right in the language by somehow adding some context that he wasn’t mooning her or showing her his junk. Btw, in case you first missed it, I got that news report from TSN where the report was included in the sensationalized story, then taken down. Since I was talking about it, I found it and posted it. I don’t have Twitter. The only twitter I see is on this site, actually.
  13. oh, wow This guy is gonna get Paaaaid on his next contract. Projecting he will be at his peak when it’s time to renegotiate, he’s gonna beat Marner money at that time if he figures it out, which I’m sure he can. These bridge deals will eventually prove the Marner deal was a decent signing, not a bad one at all.
  14. I’d rather have a condescending poster keep poking me for a rise. Have a nice day.
  15. It was the initial basis for the story though. The shock-story generating a manufactured outrage isn’t about drunk athletes harassing a security guard, it’s about lewd public indecency, as far as the clickbait headlines go, until you read into it, which seems like the least crime-worthy things these morons did that night. (Dropping your pants = lewd public behaviour in our culture) Anyways, obviously this is nothing I wish to wear as a cross for the sake of looking at narratives and the use of language in media coverage, like you probably tried to reference earlier.
  16. Not dying on this hill. Agree to disagree. How about the dad’s accusations? Do you know what exactly he is accusing her of lying about? If that’s even a thing?
