BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I wonder if the gay community will turn enmasse to pro life if homosexuality gene can be isolated in utero. And gay babies start being terminated. My post had zero to do with genetics, brain master. Link to post Share on other sites

aucu 3 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi Bob, including all the outer rain bands in that map is a bit disingenuous as many tropical storm systems have this kind of extent but with no storm intensity in the outer extensions, having said that this was a major storm. Example, I was in Honduras in 1998 for hurricane Mitch with massive damage and 18,000 dead, witnessed a lot of things I never want to see again. The rain bands on that storm extended all the way to Florida but there was zero impact in these outer areas. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,311 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 were they expecting to not sell out the winter classic this year? They were planning on setting a World Record for most people to watch a hockey game and I'm pretty sure they achieved that. I guess there were still a few empty seats which makes sense with the weather since there was probably very little walk up crowd. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,311 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This was discussed a few months ago in this forum. Toronto police to test out lapel cameras Pilot project stems from recommendation in a 2013 report on police and community engagement Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 355 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Eventually they will be standard as Tasers, however police unions fervently oppose them because they catch cops being cops. The motivation for cities to get off their asses and make lapel cameras happen usually comes after city hall cuts a huge check on a big civil settlement stemming from police abuse and basically tell the department to **** off, you're wearing them whether you like it or not. The CPD is rotten to its core (culturally, systemically rotten, particularly in the units), honest officers are always relegated to outpost assignments; beat cars, traffic, etc. A standard traffic stop on the soutside involves being removed from your car and held on the ground at gunpoint while two cops search it and the other one demands to know where the drugs are. I LOL at internet lawyers who talk about 'rights' at a traffic stop, etc. There are no 'rights' practiced the jungle. That said, how the **** else are you going to police Roseland? With kindness? The reality of that job is it calls for doing shit that is way, way outside the 'formal job description'. Link to post Share on other sites

David_Sklansky 1,902 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 yup, charities that supply mosquito netting aren't sexy but they do a lot of good I think this describes the general problem with African charity. Everyone wants to throw their money at something like curing AIDS or building a children's hospital, when there are a zillion cheap, practical things that need doing just as much.

Dubey 1,035 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Are we all just going to conveniently ignore the fact that 10,000 people are killed every year by fucking snails?

It's a huge economic problem, because some insane percentage of the continent (which I'm too lazy to google) is too sick to be productive for like 1/10 of the time. Link to post Share on other sites
