Smashing glass bottles ANYWHERE downtown should be illegal. And punishable by the insertion of glass shards into the sole of your foot.
I have a puppy. I took said puppy for a walk downtown today and she ended up with glass in three of her paws. WHY THE FUCK does everyone think it is entertaining and perfectly acceptable to smash glass bottles everywhere downtown?
Is there nothing else you can do while drunk that would be as amusing? Think of someone other than your fucking drunk selves next time you wind it back and toss a beer bottle in the middle of a sidewalk.

Maybe if you’re lucky, one of these drunken fuckers will trip over their drunken selves and fall face first into the shards of glass!
Those drunks have no real brain. The brain that they do have looks like a half-empty beer bottle and filled with cigarette butts.
Not that I am out smashing bottle downtown, but take ur dog to a fucking park!
Call me crazy T, but it’s hard to get to the park without walking on one or more streets/sidewalks.
Ok jennie Your crazy! Even if it was somehow on ur way to walk by the Palace or the dome or any other shit show downtown take a different route so your dog has less of a chance of glass in its feet.Or put the dog in your car and take it to the park. Dont have a car? Maybe your shouldnt have a dog. What happens if that dog gets sick and you need to take it to the vet right way?.. Good luck putting a dieing dog in a cab.And Jennie as the op said “I have a puppy. I took said puppy for a walk downtown today” they didnt say i took my dog for a walk through downtown to get to the park or anything. I was only responding to what they said. Im sure the dog likes walking down urine ally way better than the park anyways though.
No T, I’m not crazy.I do have a car, but I try to use it as little as possible. You know, that whole global warming thing? And when I take my dog for a walk, I typically walk TO the park, rather than driving there. You know, get a little fresh air, and some exercise too…Have you met Fran Fran, by any chance?
dont get me started on global warming…..
Oh, and T – I can’t adjust my route to avoid broken glass, since I have no idea when/where it’s going to appear. I’m not psychic – I don’t know where last night’s drunks smashed bottles. And FYI, it’s not just downtown – it’s all over the city.
lol ok jennie I dont own a car and I walk to work every morning instead of the bus. But you can go ahead and talk about how u try to use ur car as little as possible.(I can just picture u typing with ur eyes shut for that one).”Have you met Fran Fran, by any chance?” I dont get but im sure it is very well thought out and clever digIf you read my post though about walking to the park (again the op wasnt doing that) I think its great that you walk your dog to the park because you are so awesome and “green” but are you saying you walk by the dome or on any of those streets downtown? Or do you think about what streets and sidewalks you take your dog on?
I can see your point on that last one jennie. And that must be a hassle for dog owners and even more for the unfortunate dogs with glass in their pads.My references to downtown were from what the OP put. And it seemed to me like they were just walking their new puppy downtown to show off there new puppy.Honestly though good luck keeping the glass out of ur dogs pads.
For the record, T – it’s “your”, not “ur”.I don’t have a set route for walking my dog. Sometimes we go downtown, sometimes we don’t. But just so you know, people get drunk and smash glass all over the city – not just outside the Dome or the Palace. I know the OP specifically mentioned downtown, but it’s everywhere. Including the very parks you suggest are the only places where dogs belong. Idiots drink there (teenagers?) and smash bottles.Regardless of where you’re doing it – smashing bottles makes you a douche bag. I think that’s the point the OP was tying to make, and I agree.
Some time ago a poster named Frannie suggested people shouldn’t have children unless they have a car, which is why I asked if the two of you were acquainted.
this isnt my resume or an email to my boss or a professional setting at all so for the record ur and your mean the same thing. There are a million other typos in my last couple posts as well… why not pick them out as well?Why dont you go FIST ur self
i dont think people should be able to have kids unless they can pass a competency test. just like a drivers test…if you cant reach this level of skill….you will not be allowed to procreate. seems wed save the world alot of messed up kids hanging round breaking bottles.
Stay classy T!
enjoy being a grammar/ spelling nazi.. Seriously are the worst type of people.
I’m not a grammar nazi, I just have a very hard time taking people seriously when they use the slang of 13 year old airhead girls, when they’re trying to make their point.
Im pretty sure that is exactly what being a spelling/grammar nazi is. Not being able to look past(take seriously) someone spelling or grammar to see the point the are making.Thanks for the enlightenment though i didnt know that its a 13 year old girl thing to use ur instead of your.Language and communication evolves, and regresses. The youth try and make chatting online easier.If you have a harder time taking someone seriously who uses ur instead or your on an online form that sounds like a person problem, cause I dont give a fuck what you take seriously.
T, your logic is idiotic.
What the hell does owning a dog have anything to do with owning a car? Are the two supposed to go hand in hand or something??
My comment about the car was just about if the dog got sick and needed to get to the vet ASAP it would be nice to have a car. And i didnt say that to own a dog you need to own a car i said “Dont have a car? Maybe your shouldnt have a dog. What happens if that dog gets sick and you need to take it to the vet right way?.. Good luck putting a dieing dog in a cab.” – see the word maybe in there right?Just my personal opinion but i wouldnt have a dog without a car.
T, alot of people who live in urban areas don’t own cars. I can take my dog on the subway and do all the time. I also have the number of an animal ambulance posted to my fridge. I dont live in Halifax but I remember there is one there too.
With an admittedly short search on google for “animal ambulance halifax ns” I couldnt find anything.
Hopefully it still exists, I know it used to…but maybe it didnt last. I bet the animal ER in Burnside would know
Admittedly I never used it when I was in Halifax; in the two instances of emergency, I always had friends or family to rely on in order to get my dog to the hospital.
