hey here’s an idea, read the blog posts you comment on…or even the blogs you head for.

Why is Lori Douglas’ picture present in every article written by the papers when supposedly it was ‘Bozo’ the King who was the perpetrator of this fiasco. Lori has already been victimized,… putting her photo up victimizes her further.

I am not defending her torrid behavior behind closed doors,… that is entirely her business. We spend our lives being perfect packages; we’re all so politically correct.

@#$% the coffee clatter, we need to be accountable to no one but ourselves and the PRESS, needs to check their own morality,…. unless of course all they want to do is sell papers.

Think about it.

Queer Ontario to Harper: Back off bawdyhouse provision.
Comment:

If Toronto queers really wanted to embarrass Harper and his government they should resurrect Roman tradition of Bacchanalia culminating in crowning of the Regina Bordello. Toronto could field some very good candidates for this particular title; Madam Justice Carole Curtis sitting at the North York Family Court could be one of them as her claim to that title would be based on a stunt she performed during her university days; in a span of one day she had sex with all members of Concordia University football team. Other good candidate for that title would be Madam Justice Nancy L. Backhouse sitting at the University Ave. Family Court in Downtown Toronto. Her claim to that title would be the fact that she is a wife of Marty Teplisky, prominent Toronto lawyer and very prominent pimp whose escort business is supplying all members of high Toronto society with underage boys and girls for hours of well earned and well deserved fun.

Anyhow, because this situation involved pictures of the judge in bondage play and performing particular sex acts, people have seemingly been googling about for the pictures which have long since been scrubbed from the public sphere, or so one would hope.

the time is about 3:15 PM and by blog has received hundreds of visits from people looking for these pictures. It’s flippin’ sad.

The ONLY thing sasktel has going for it is no bandwidth limit but when its slow as all hell, what good is that?

I don’t have any problem with this sale to a “non-Saskatchewan” organization either. We have mining operations, food distribution chains, malls, fast food restaurants, oil field service companies and many other commercial operations (media included) owned by organizations outside of the province. If we wish to see the success of the Canadian economy and by extension our own provincial economy, we shouldn’t feel insular and give in to protectionist urges. The SCN will, in all likely hood, maintain a provincial identity as this investment corporation makes it work in a fashion relevant to its consumer base.

Plenty of commercial organizations operate this way. The Mall at Lawson Heights is owned currently by Morguard Investments out of Mississauga Ontario. I’m not sure if the Ontario Teacher’s pension fund sold it to them or if they’re managing it for them but that commercial staple has been owned by extra-provincial interests for some time and has been of great commercial benefit to the area it serves.

I’d like to know more about what motivates your comment if it’s not ferocious partisanship.

I wish the new owners success, but I still likely won’t tune in the channel unless there is something good on.

In short, Marc should never have been sent to the United States for a myriad of reasons. It’s disgusting what has happened to him as a Canadian citizen.

I don’t think it’s too late to embark on a discussion regarding the legitimacy of Israeli statehood. I don’t think it’s ever too late for a discussion. If it’s determined that indeed Israel was not established in a legitimate fashion, it’s entirely up to the people in the region to decide if it’s too late to dismantle the Israeli state but since the discussion is not currently undertaken in an honest and honourable fashion, it’s currently irrelevant. You assert that Israel was established as a legitimate state and that’s fine to have that opinion. I’m not a participant in that debate and so I won’t argue your opinion. What I am saying is that there is a legitimate avenue of debate that counters that opinion but that avenue is discarded in the vast majority of cases for debate that is motivated by self interest or ignorance, greed, fear or demagoguery. Also, I suppose I will show some participation here by mentioning that I don’t believe majority opinion to be a legitimizing factor in debate. I see such a position as nothing more than an appeal to authority.

You’re correct also that political discussions (or even apolitical if possible) about Israel’s legitimacy fuel Israeli fears. That’s something that I think is disappointing and yet another reason why I am so hesitant in participating in this type of debate. I do not wish to argue in the face of fear or other reactionary positions.

In any case, don’t you think it’s too late to embark on a discussion of the legitimacy of Israel? What’s the point of even opening it up to debate? It was established as a legitimate state by a vote in the General Assembly of the United Nations, and the majority of countries around the world regard it as legitimate. Not to mention that the ‘facts on the ground’ are irrefutable in this sense.

Entertaining political discussions about Israel’s legitimacy only fuels Israeli fears.

Cheers.
