The law states that a crosswalk exists at EVERY intersection whether it is painted or not. Screw the drivers that obviously don't give a shit about anyone else and are in such a "rush" that they can't stop at a legal crossing?? I have to walk across the south side crossing of Charles and Agricola multiple times per day and at least once or twice I get yelled at by drivers. Hearing "Get the fuck out of the way bitch" or simply just being almost run over is not funny. It's dangerous and disrespectful and devoid of any human decency. Also taxi drivers? You of all drivers should know better. —Pissed Pedestrian

It's a frikkin office and I know that casual is sort of okay these days....but...there is something not cool about walking around the office in bare feet! Your feet aren't dirty nor do they smell; it's just wrong. —Blusenoser

You acted like a child. I felt like your mother. This is why we did not and could not last in a relationship together. You took advantage of my empathic and caring personality and got immense satisfaction out of me caring for you, despite an 8 year age difference. I've always been the one to try and help rescue the damaged. I now realize that you can not rescue someone who doesn't want to help themselves get better. You've torn me down to the bottom with you and ripped my heart out of my chest. I hope one day you grow up and realize this. —Always, The Rescuer

Hey dude, remember when I shot you down but you insisted and finally I told you that I have a problem w your personal hygiene - in that, you have none.... then you see me on the street a couple years later and you are still a dirtbag and still insist that we should get together. I really don't want to have to go there again. I don't wanna be a total bitch to you. You are nice enough but really not clean enough. Lemme break it down: you should use soap or body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, laundry detergent, dish detergent and all kinds of other available cleaning products for you and your place. Even if you used the crappy natural products it would still be better than the nothing you are using now. You smell like dirt and nicotine, your breath is nasty and I dont want to imagine the uncleanliness of other things. Here is your not so subtle hint. Clean is sexy. Fresh is sexy. Nice smelling is sexy! —Can't Compromise on Clean

Ad: asking $200 obo

Email: will you take $100

Seller: I'll drop my price to $150 obo. Do you want to come see it?

Email: I'm afraid that the two of us are a bit too far apart in price. Can you come down on price more?

Seller: Seller: There are two other guys listing at $300, I'm already down to $150 obo and we are only $50 apart from closing a deal. Are you sure you won't come out and see the item then make me an offer?

No email —WTF? a tire kicker shopping for a wow price?

To the guy who's always roaming around Spring Garden Rd. talking to random suckers about his problems and his relationship problems, no one fucking cares! Shut up! I swear you will spill your personal life to anyone who will fucking listen, its pathetic. No one wants to hear it , NO ONE! —Grant Fuhr

Here's the deal... Pitbull's have a bad rep because some OWNER's have f-ed the breed's reputation because they trained them to be aggressive and some used them in dog fights. Lot's of dogs snap and attack people; often from abuse. But media focuses on Pitbulls because it gets all the ratings. Look at that boy who was attacked by some terrier/lab mix dog, the boy was then saved by his cat. No one is sensationalizing that breed of dog, screaming "All crossed lab/terriers must be banned and killed!" No! Of course not because then all mixed breeds would be gone. Stop and look at the whole picture of a dog bite story before you judge a whole breed based on an isolated incident. —Elephants are gray, not all gray things are elephants

I feel that there are much better places to spend our tax dollars than paintnig busses because a company wanted to change a name of their busses that barely work!!! We have DISGUSTING roads, nauseating traffic jams for seemingly no reason at all other than shitty drivers and stupid road placement. I would blame it on accidents as well however, 80% of the slow traffic from an accident is from the nosey mother fuckers driving by, who have to ostrich neck at the accident and drive 20 kph to catch every single detail! We should spend the money on 2 extra lanes on highways, WORKING busses and better schedules that are actually followed. NOT a stupid paint job. —Ugly restaurants have the best food

In the landscaping business you need to cut deals to people who agree to use your services every 2 - 3 weeks. You have to line up properties in certain areas to avoid driving all over the place to keep costs down. You dependably show up to take care of your client as agreed. You find the person who agreed to getting the lower rate already have their property serviced by somebody else... really is a piss off. Just scamming to get a deal the first time. —Not impressed with peoples ethics.

As you may know HMC is firmly entrenched in archaic rules for serving beer at concerts, which simply have no place in the modern world. For those that are not aware it is strictly prohibited to take your plastic cup of beer back to your seat with you. You have to drink it in the dangerously overcrowded concourse area.

Over the past few years I have had the good fortune to attend high end rock concerts in the following venues:

Royal Albert Hall, London 02, London Place des Arts, Montreal Bell Centre, Montreal Wang Citigroup Theatre, Boston Madison Square Garden, NYC

In all of these fine establishments, licqour is permitted to be brought back to the seacting area, where the drinkcan be enjoyed at a lleisurely respectable pace. I never once saw a case of excessive or inappropriate alcohol consumption.

But time and time again I see at the HMC 10,000 fans all clamoring to get a beer during intermission from the grossly inadequate number of sellers and then have to guzzle it in 30 seconds and run back to their seat to avoid missing the second act.

Now you can say well the reason for this is because its dark and it allowing beer in the stands enables uunderage drinking. But guess what? If kids want to drink at concerts they will surely find a way to do so. So that argument is old and tired and just does not wash.

So my question is when are we as a city going to make the bold leap into the 21st century and get up to speed with the rest of the civilized world?

Maybe since the BNS took over naming rights they can exert some influence there. One can only hope. —End the Binge drinking if you have the guts to make a real change
