It has been a year and a half since our break-up. You; overweight, pale, sullen looking and still working the same lame job you wanted to leave so badly so you could make all these “positive changes.” You still chronically smoke weed and have stayed in the same dead-end job. This is a bitch, but it's also a frustration. Why would you not take care of yourself to, you know, spite me? Better yourself, help yourself, better your future. Yada yada yada. I don't pretend to know everything about your, what appears to be, miserable existence. You could be quite content. Perhaps that is happy to you. Thank you for all of the lessons. The screaming, the verbal abuse, the emotional abuse, the lying, cheating, games, childish behaviors...Letting me go was the best thing for me—wasn't it suppose to be for you, too? —Why

Sick and tired of all the hate and fear towards the poor Syrian refugees. What the heck is wrong with our citizens? Are you that devoid of compassion that you can turn your back on the suffering of people who have lost everything? I'm sickened and disheartened by the ignorance and fear demonstrated by people who I once respected. Another friend cull coming up! —Spiggy Q.

Stop asking for a "different pack without the tongue on it.” It's annoying as fuck. Get over it. You don't need to sit and stare at the package, so who cares what's on it? Plus—you smoke! Welcome to the potential reality of smoking. Don't like it, don't wanna see it? Stop smoking or just suck it up. Besides, a dying and emaciated woman in a hospital bed is okay, but the tongue isn't? Nice. —Just take the stupid pack you got

I would like to remind all drivers to watch out for pedestrians. Do your shoulder checks, make sure that you are not blocking the entire sidewalk. In your car you are BIG, and you have a shell of protection around your body. As a walker I am SMALL, and if you so much as brush me it will HURT a lot. To often do I find myself dodging traffic when it is my right of way. Rushing will not necessarily make you get home faster. So SLOW DOWN, take a deep breath, so that every one can GET HOME SAFE. Thanks! —Pedestrian

I want to thank you for finally quitting. You never worked a full day from the day you started on the floor after training. The way you spoke to Customers was Disgusting. Stay out of the Customer Service industry. You need to become a real man act your age (49) Better yet GROW some. The best news I heard was you quit. You couldn't handle the job as you were always better then anyone else.All you ever did was talk down to people even your team members. This world does not owe you anything. I don't know why your wife puts up with you not working or holding down a job good thing you don't have kids to raise as you would be a bad example for them. I pity the new company that hires you. —Hard worker

Please stop playing Sonny's Dream. Ron Hynes Rip. —treacle downer

You know what pisses me off? These stupid people that fear and want to stop bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees into Canada, do you honestly think they are not going to be closely watched? Do you think they are coming with belt bombs and AK47's? Why do you even fear terrorists? Is that not giving in to what they are trying to do to people? Do you fucking realize that your more likely to get killed by a moose, struck by lightning or win the lottery than be killed or injured by a terrorist? Even if there are terrorists with the refugees then we are just taking the burden off the rest of the free world where they may strike, yes they may kill if they are not cought, if there are terrorists with the refugees and we don't take them in then they will strike at someone else, so why can't we take some of that burden to stop this terrorism? The price of freedom has always been paid in blood and will continue to be paid in blood until all of the people of the world unite to stop fearing each other. Get a grip on yourselves and stop being racist and start being Canadian helping countries in need. People need to stop being fearful of slim possibilities and get their heads out of their ass. People need to realize by fearing terrorists is giving them the support they are looking for, it makes people dislike Muslims, that leads to racism, that leads to some of them to hate us back feeling unsafe and hated in our country, that can lead to radicalism of those who even were born in Canada that are of that religion and can push them into terrorism. I hate religion and you can hate religion too but don't hate the people who worship it because they are only human like you or me. So please fight terrorism and Stop The Fear. Morn the losses, support freedom but Stop The Fear. If you don't then you will be unknowingly supporting terrorism and taking freedom from innocent people such as yourself by spreading fear and racism that will cause stricter laws the government will put in place to give you the illusion that you are safe. Stop The Fear. —The Spiked Viking

Have you ever worn jeans that never seemed to fit quite right? Have you ever worn pants that would wear out only in the area where your thighs meet? Was your junior high nickname “ghetto booty.” I, just like many women, have big thighs and huge glutes. Yeah, I have a big butt and I always have. I have always struggled with pants, especially jeans. Nothing makes me feel worse than trying on a pair of jeans that are so loose on my calves and waist, but so tight on my thighs and bum. Belts help, but leave this ugly hip dent. So junior high wasn't fun for me, ok? When I was in high school, leggings became a huge thing. Leggings work for me. They fit my waist, my bum, my thighs and my calves. I'm not kidding—leggings changed my life and boosted my self confidence. I no longer felt like I was shoving my curvy body in a tiny mould that wasn't built for me. I don't own jeans or pants. I only own leggings. To me, these are pants. So when people tell girls that "leggings aren't pants" or that "you have to wear long shirts with leggings," you're destroying the self confidence of girls like me who don't fit into anything else. Why does everyone feel the need to tell girls what to wear and what not to wear? You're shaming me for my clothing choices. I don't even want to get started about the people who dictate who can and can not wear leggings. As if your weight should determine what you wear. In this day and age, women should feel free to wear whatever they feel comfortable in and not receive backlash for their personal aesthetic choices. Talk about how more young people should be volunteering or something or go out and volunteer instead of telling girls what to wear. —Ghetto Booty Forever

How does the government (federal and provincial) plan on playing for these refugees that are "supposedly" on their way? This province has a unemployment rate of eight percent. Many residents are leaving this fine province because they can not find work. Those leaving are both skilled and professional so the argument that the new refugees will help grow the economy and jobs will not work. This province is more than $14 billion in debt. Housing is unaffordable to a great many Nova Scotians as it is, and a good paying job is impossible to find. So many Nova Scotians live in poverty, live with mental illness and addiction problems as is. Why not fix what is already broken here first before you blow a shit ton on money that you don't have on refugees that will be a financial drain on an already drained province? This is not a black, white, brown, yellow problem; this is a bitch about remembering who is already here and in need of help as it is. I heard on the radio the other day that all these refugees from Syria would be jumping ahead of thousands of refugees that have waited years on the list to come to Canada. Why is one refugee more important than another? There are refugees already here in Nova Scotia metaphorically and figuratively speaking. Wake up and smell the roses, government. —Tired of Watching Canada Ignore Canadians
