Seriously. I don't have sympathy for complainers. Freaking deal, elect people who are going to raise gas taxes and rebuild our entire society, until that happens get f-ing used to this. We made this mess, we've got to deal with it. I'm tired of complainers. These are the same people (in my area) that vote for right wing idiots, vote no on metro expansion because black people will then move out to the white areas and steal my tv, same people who refuse to take the bus (no white people take the bus around here, they stopped en mass after Rosa Parks got on). Same people that prefer development of sprawl over smart planning. Anyhow its silly. Gas is only 1.00 litre here and its the end of the world.

Build up to over hype a boring professional sport.

Yeah the air raids went off 3x's today.

Oops! lol

Yes. I've been home for 3 weeks this is Tornado siren number 8. Scariest, creepiest noise imaginable. Nothing good or positive can come from that sound. It only means one thing and it scares the living crap out of you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uX4xq0uLq4 Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Oklahoma are the big places. Lesser extent Indiana.

No probs. I want to be back in BC, I hate the air raid sirens. Tornadoes

To say congrats. Since we don't have the Congrats thread anymore.

Dang since when did Jets pass me in posts? lol Oh well. I don't care.

Well technically it says this is a CBC issue, as Harper being the 'boss' of CBC. He could theoretically 'stop' this from happened. But hey the sun rises tomorrow this isn't the end of the world.

I wrote a letter to Bernie Sanders today socialist Senator from Vermont. Basically wondered how he keeps going on working strong for things like social justice, etc during a time in our country where we (democratic socialists) have been vilified and hated for years in this country. How can he keep going in a country so full of hate against us. It'd be cool if he replied. I'll write the same letter to other world party leaders although I don't know who. I bet a UK Labour back bencher would reply.

haha yeah how I am I going to cope? I'm evening moving student unions reps from CFS to an anti-CFS group. I still don't understand the split, yeah you don't like the NDP party, that's nice, but wait, you really think the Liberals or lol the Tories are going to listen to students? In a province where we have a Liberal Party government who are just hell bent on destroying students every year you go to the Liberals??? So they've killed the student movement. lovely. Plus the newspaper is filled with neo-liberals who I despise (not if they're conservatives, but if they say they're liberals or ndp people). UBC is on the wrong end of town lol. If there ever was a city so easily defined by class divisions.

So you vote the way you feel your riding represents? hmm If I did that for here I'd be voting right wing extremists the rest of my life. People who want to take down the liberty statue on the capitol and put a giant cross signifying this a Christian country where the rule of God is the constitution. So I can't really do that. I'm going from one of the poorer ridings in Canada to the richest. South Nanaimo to Vancouver Quadra. lol South Nanaimo famous for its activism through the years, to now the richest postal code in Canada.

I'm forced to take French if I ever want a job in Canada.

Apathy is worse amongst Canadian young people more so then US young kids. 18-35. Which is why my generation is the anti-hope generation. This isn't the 60s where everyone had this idealism. Nope, now its future is bleak. The future is scary. I have no idea where this is going.

Actually one guy isn't dead, yet. Still alive and kicking at 94, I say run for Labour Leadership when Brown gets creamed. lol

Well there's interesting things going on before that to keep me busy. I don't want hockey season around just yet. euro, tour, olympics, ubc, ubc, ubc. lol

Where have you been? Sports figures have been bashing each other since the beginning of sport. Usually the weaker sports get knocked on which are the usual figure skating isn't a sport, race car drivers aren't athletes, that new cage fighting isn't a sport, baseball players are lazy. lol

Thank God that stupid stereotype is dead. Are people up in arms over this? "I don't think anyone really watches hockey anymore." Sadly, he's right. Bettman killed hockey. This game is probably getting watched by 3-4 million people in the US.

Its the Red Wings. Evil Empire of Hockey if you were born in the Midwest. I saw that by the way on Yahoo News as a cover story. Never clicked on it, what did Tiger say?

yawn. I'm so happy I could pinch myself with joy.

tis over

sadly true at this point. no fun for pierre right now politically.

Yeah well I don't know see. I'm not Canadian so my dream job: http://www.international.gc.ca/about-a_pro...categories.aspx Is unattainable for reasons like I'm not Canadian. Thus, its pointless for me to think about French imo. I've got a better chance of learning German, moving to eastern Europe, doing studies on my oppressed people and causing massive protests for Danube Swabian rights and recognitions of mass genocide committed by eastern bloc countries after the war against people of Germanic descent and bringing full rights to the Banat's of Serbia or more rights for us in Hungary or something. Then I do of getting a job in the foreign service because I wasn't born in Canada or a citizen of Canada. Like hell I'm going to join the US department, lol, I've pretty much severed any reasonable ties of wanting to do anything with the U.S. government or in politics by being a 'traitor' and going to school in BC. So I made that decision, can't really go back if I want a government job (which are zilch only the nationalists partisans get govt jobs). Like hell I'd ever be accepted in Democratic circles ever again. I'm viewed as a traitor even to the so called left. Yeah I could move to a west coast city (Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco) but I wouldn't be happy. The Party would chew me out and the Green party is a joke and aren't the same. I was going to go to a school famous for International Relations in Seattle, I was purely thinking UN type of career, anyway to avoid the U.S. Foreign Service. lol (as if that were possible) or lol Geography= CIA. hahaha Thought about that too. lol Good thing I declined going to school in the states. Then in Canada I have to worry about the idiots that always like to chide at me being from the states. Grow up. lol

lol! no. I've just lost all passion for anything America. Something happened, don't know yet, but everything now feels pointless. No matter what party at the moment Dems, NDP, Libs etc. Yeah I can always talk about Harper et al but meh, I've lost the passion, for now. I dunno. I'm estatic to see Neo Labour fall apart. If you want to have conversations about so called left parties falling on their swords, then I get excited. lol New Labour SPD in Germany Both parties are finished, poof, done, in their current form. If you want to talk about how more liberal David Cameron is compared to Gordon Brown. I'm up for it. How stupid the whole Third Way is, I'm game. How idiotic the Liberal party is on the federal level, or this so called carbon tax that doesn't do anything productive. Hit me. But for supporting someone, I can't. As I look at my wall, god damn I live in a time period, everyone is dead. Where's that time machine.

People are saying if I wanted a fed job in Canada need I need French. But gawd this is hard. family roots or french
