I read this paper every week and am always amazed on how in this section, the number of bitches are more than double the number of loves. This city (which I love) does have quite a few problems that need attention, but I can’t help but wonder how many of these keyboard activists don’t do a thing other than feel smug by thinking that complaining does anything to fix the problems they are quick to get on a soapbox about. There are literally hundreds of ways that the problems we face can be tackled; be it donations, volunteering or even attending open forums for communities to address the issues and open the floor to citizens to speak their peace. How about other than running your mouth, you actually play a part? We can all bitch, why be one? —At Least I’m Trying

Wow! The whole LTWWB concept has been completely lost on you, eh?
Okay ALIT, we love you. All of us. With all our hearts. Today, tomorrow and always. Forever and ever amen.
Now my darling, my ducky, my love… fuck off.
OB, think of LTWWB as a filter. The posters think they have legit gripes. The commenters weigh in and help them determine whether or not they have just cause to be pissed off. It gives the bitchers a chance to do a trial run of their grievances before making a fool of themselves by publicly voicing them. So, LTWWB is a fool prevention service.
The LTWWB usually goes in cycles. It will be a bus bitch (a common one) then a dating fiasco (prolly met on the bus), traffic woes (somehow involving a bus), crosswalk safety (bus again), restaurant tipping etiquette, and noise complaints regarding drunk Uni students.
Then, once in a while there will be a zinger and it becomes a free for all and this livens things up for those reading LTWWB on their morning bus commute.
There’s a LTTWL section on here? And I thought I had too much time on my hands.
FFS, seriously?
The “love” section is actually a “Bitch” section for people to moan about the person they didn’t have the nerve to say something to when they wanted to fuck them.
Well said, ALIT.
Remember/take comfort in reality that bitches are just louder, by nature, than the rest; but nobody is actually listening to them. bitchers are really inconsequential to those who are actually doing something and affecting positive change.
To your latter point; can you reform a keyboard activist into a member of society that actually adds value? I think probably not. Not everyone is going to make it, and maybe you shouldn’t waste your own valuable time on them. Seriously, its a buffalo herd, just let the weak ones fall off the back.
Spend your useful energy on helping those that are already doing good things so that so they can do those good things even better. When I’m volunteering and actually taking action, I meet all kinds of people doing the same. It’s awesome! Spend you time on that crowd and forget the static.
There will always be bitchers, but the reality is that no-one of consequence listens to them. They are just the loud crowd in the corner that doesn’t really do anything.
Take action, volunteer and get involved in a positive way. You will meet people that are doing the same. Spend you effort on those people that actually add value. The keyboard activists really only have a say in their own miserable little world; so why be a part of that world?

Oh, ya, another thing. Bitchers are people that possibly haven’t been anywhere else, so their view of the world is skewed from what their sorry asses have watched on TV. These people, along with the inward looking “this place is the best” have the same sort of issues: No real references outside their self-constructed safe zone.
Get out, look around, and get some perspective on how your opportunity contrasts to everyone, (not just plebs you watch on ET or some other garbage). This perspective will put you in a better headspace.
Don’t pretend like you’re above the bitch section of the coast OB. No one is, not even Jesus, as we can read everyday.
You too golocal. “Bitchers are people that posisbly haven’t been anywhere else…” Replace bitchers with literally anything, except “Avid traveller” or something of the like, and that statement applies to them. Assumptions make an ass out of you and me, but mostly just you.
And if you read some of the recent bitches, like the one about the punk show pusher, you’d see that bitchers are actually people who get out and do things, and take action, as the woman mentioned in her bitch. If you’re going to read every bitch with that prejudice towards the bitcher, I suggest you take Ghost Jesus’s advice and fuck off.
I avidly travel.
Ya, Take a Step. tell me how it is! Thanks for putting me in my place.
Sometimes I open The Coast because the only thing I want to read is the bitches. LTWWL is okay, and it is really another bitching forum, mostly for those who didn’t have the “balls” to talk to someone they saw somewhere in a public venue. When I read the “standard” news of the people, you don’t find the honest opinions of our fair citizens.
The honesty and the entertainment comes from reading about the mutual experiences we all have come to get used to, and today’s bus bitch is obviously from a student who has been taking the bus a few months, and thinks he/she (probably she) knows everything about riding the bus by now, except the rules and common sense about having your shit together when the bus gets there.
I also love these bitches because of the education this person will receive in regard to their bitch. Put him/her in their place, hopefully they’ll be better prepared in future to have their own resealable cup for their drink and have the bus pass in a handy spot. I like to put it in the front of my wallet, so I just have to take it out of my pocket. Men usually have the wallet in an easy-to-access spot.
If I have offended any, please accept my apologize. I don’t mean to stereotype gender-wise, it’s just the “feeling” I get from the attitude of the OP.
May your bus adventures be entertaining…
dear op, did you read your comment before you sent it? do you understand irony? you’re a dumb shit.
