Dear NS, you are my adopted home since moving here from the UK a couple of years ago. I love your rugged beauty and your friendly people, but I feel like slapping you around the face when I see so many of the car-drivers here sitting in their car, drinking from their disposable non-recyclable coffee cups…with the engine idling! Please, for the sake of my blood pressure, and more importantly, our precious environment, TURN IT OFF! —Cloudberry

  1. Dear OP…if you look back to earths early days, you’ll find it was an incandescent ball of fire.
    IT didn’t care that it was molten then, it doesn’t care if the carbon level rises, the oceans rise or fall, if dinosaur’s are extinct or even if another ice age comes & or goes.
    Whenever an archeologist looks to the past…they are usually digging in garbage from that period, are we still tripping over it ?
    No its buried & we have to dig it up.
    Same thing goes for today’s garbage & a thousand years from now if there are any humans left & if they haven’t lived through a nuclear holocaust or 2 , they’ll be commenting on how high we got our carbon dioxide level & what prodigious garbage producers we were.

    Nothing to get your knickers in a knot about, & by the time it changes dramatically you’ll be dead !
    So don’t worry , be happy & enjoy your double ,triple mocha latte, with cinamon swirls & chocolate sprinkles, ps. if your car has air condition crank it up & enjoy life.

  2. op, I mean this in the nicest possible way, but my driving and coffee habits are none of your fucking business. If you want me to stop, then come kiss my ass on the church steps on sunday morning.

  3. Pbbbbbfffffffttttt, you expect me to drink my hot coffee, on a 30 degree day without sitting in air conditioned comfort? Crazy European, you’re in our house now, bitch. You betta recognize!

  4. Ummmm…I can’t run my air conditioning without the engine on. And if you think I’m going to roast in a car while I wait for whatever it is I’m waiting for, you’ve got another thing coming.

  5. Like it isn’t bad enough we have their genetic garbage as our head of state, now this…

  6. As a fellow Brit – if you want to enjoy NS, please follow that old saying “when in Rome etc” There are plenty of things to get pissed about, but the 2 you mention aren’t worth a wet wank.
    It’s 30c outside, the sun is shining, it’s a glorious day, head to the tavern, down a few cold ones and relax.

  7. Op, i am sure that if we analyze your lifestyle, we will find something equally offensive. In other words, if everyone spent more time improving themselves, and less time worrying about ways to criticize their neighbor, Halifax would be a better place.

  8. Moved to Nova Scotia from the UK a couple of years ago then, did you Cloudberry?

    It wouldn’t have been from Wapping, by any chance, would it?

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  9. jesus christ, you mean i’m missed that much, that no one puts up a bitch in my absence. well folks, don’t let that stop you. i don’t give a fuck if i’m here or not, if you got ’em, post ’em.
    i guess the whiners are still going, i just finished reading some of the older bitches. give it the fuck up paul. you are just fucking jealous because i have had a life filled with adventure and tried to better it somehow.
    and what the fuck are you idiots on about me being someone else. i am only myself, i don’t need to be using a bunch of different i.d.’s, to be a mean fucker.
    and george, if you read this dude, don’t try to defend me from these assholes, i don’t need it.
    most are just pathetic losers who will never amount to anything, other than to berate people, because they never had the effort to do anything other than bitch and whine. mel, you can go piss up a tree. and anyone else also. don’t like what i do/did/ am doing, too fucking bad. i have other things to do, other than reading your fucking inane bullshit on here, and going off topic on any bitch. i really hope the coast decides to drop this fucking column.
    i will be heading back to n.s. in maybe a week, until then, keep your fucking opinions of me, to yourselves. but of course with a couple of you, that is fucking near impossible. yeah, i have been to a lot of places, done a lot of things, that some of you would kill to have the memories of. and yeah, i did a few things that i’m not proud of, but i did them. what the fuck have you done with your poor, miserable lives to date, other than whine and cry on here. get fucked.

    what the fuck have you done with your waah waah

    You addressing George Peters is a delight!
    Next, you and Pegg Pigg will talk about the weather! 🙂

    Wp

  11. Some of us bitchers get together to eat food, drink caesars and laugh ourselves silly, boru. You’re more than welcome to join 🙂

    And of COURSE george is on the list.

  12. Hey Boru!
    It’s a real life meeting of Bitches at a restaurant. The conversation ranges from whatever to no way!
    PK can post her email address, if you would like to go.
    Seriously, there are more of us each time, and it’s a No Jerk Zone of conversation and brunch. Everyone is invited!
    wp

  13. boru, i wouldn’t waste my time going there. most of them are just pathetic two faced fucks, that will talk about others who are not there. some are more dilusional than others, if you get my drift. they think because they have multible names and handles here, that everyone else does too. there are only a few here that i would bother talking to again.
    ivan, hugo, troodon, painy, and you of course. there are a few others and they know who they are. i’m really sorry that i wasted my time in going to that first get together, but i was curious. and now i see them for what they are. just pathetic losers.most of whom post under 3 or more aliases. i use only one name, and that is me, right fucking here. no matter what anyone maty think, there are no more handles that i use.
    you think because a person writes or types a certain way, that 2 or more people are the same person. how wrong you are fools.paul buddy, i don’t know what fucking chip you have is, but lose it, okay. i used to think you were a cool dude, now, just a loser in a chair, like a lot of them are. halifax hercules is the other one, oh, is that you paul?
    as to my being/doing/did things in my life, yeah, i did. what the fuck about you people. other than sit here and make remarks about others, maybe you should try to get a fucking life too. yep, you people are really something else, a huge pile of douches, that are not fit for me to keep company with.
    boru, i will be back by abouy july 22nd., wanna get together for a laugh or 50. no bad stuff, just a general laugh at their expense. but seriously though, don’t waste your time attending a summiit. good bye, and good fucking riddance to most of you. by the way, KAY and a few others had you pegged right. like the shift key assholes? i don’t write anything to please anyone.

  14. Life Sucks:I do appreciate the warning but I’ll decide for myself whom the assholes are and how big of an asshole they are.I don’t have letters behind my name and yes ‘all’ I have is a high school diploma but I can make my own decisions or/and mistakes.Christ knows I’ve fucked up before and no doubt will fuck up again.Like I said I do appreciate the warning.
    Life Sucks you may meet me and decide I’m an ugly uneducated skank.

    If having letters isn’t a prerequisite of attending the Summit Yes I would like to go.If anyone does have a problem with my ‘ONLY’ have grade 12 I will not go.I don’t want to be where I’m not welcome by all. Thanks

  15. Only reason why I brought up my university is because I felt like I was dealing with snobs and wanted to beat them at they’re own game. Just for the record.

  16. …not having letters behind my name…. was what I trying to ask.

    I went out tonight and had 2 beer.

  17. no sweat boru, just mail me at gary_more@hotmail.com with a time and date good for you, and we’ll get together. as to the skanky part, i don’t judge by looks or a bunch of other shit.unlike some here.only have about another 200 miles to go, before i get to where i’m going. thought to get an early start.
    anyway, car is ready, so am i, just have to toss my shit in it. thought i charge the battery in my laptop before i left though. will let you know how much i get ivan, the reserve is 45 grand.

  18. what the fuck is going on here dude? why are you posting and using my mail addy? you trying to get these fucks mad or what, and no, the car i have is not worth 45 grand, 25 maybe, and there is not going to be a reserve price on it. it goes, no matter what.200 miles, you gotta be kidding, i’m at the four creeks state forest park right now, just south of yulee. i have over 500 miles to go yet before i get to tampa. learn your fucking map.
    boru, you can mail me at that addy, but it will be awhile before i get a chance to reply, got long road ahead yet. and no, i don’t judge skanky, or whatever else. wheelie will love that shit now, just a fucking joker in the wood pile i guess. good thing i signed on to check this out early. see ya later.maybe about midnite, your time.

  19. I don’t tease the mentally ill, so I’m going to stop the Gary Baiting for now.

    Boru, for real- if you want to come to a Summit, email Kitty. I have a low threshold for snobs and fake intellectuals. They are a down to earth and genuinely nice group of people who have taken the next step to meet in person.
    You too Daniel.
    This is me, Paul speaking, not the online persona known as WheelieScreeeeee/P etc.

  20. Another grammatical gem from Mr. University Abraham

    “Only reason why I brought up my university is because I felt like I was dealing with snobs and wanted to beat them at they’re own game. Just for the record.”

    Firstly, it’s THEIR, secondly, did you ingest the university and puke it up?

  21. Ahahahahahaahaha looks like sucks posted under the wrong account! Nice save, buddy!

    Boru: we don’t care if you have a PhD or a grade 2 education! Grampie (sucks) is just being a miserable old fuck. Not one person attending a summit has ever had a bad time. There’s simply a lot of laughs, good times and no pretensions.

    My email is prettykittylady@gmail.com

    You and everyone else is welcome to attend! Hope to see you at our next get together!

  22. Probably sometime in august, boru. We were aiming for a pride summit, but I don’t think that’ll pan out.

  23. B. bad.

    If I can get you to trash my purposely incorrect grammar once every two days i have succeeded.

  24. Oh hay eyebrows knows how to use google!

    And you guys can still have one! But biscuit and i can’t make it 🙁

  25. and if it rains at the next summit we can shelter under Abba Dabba dumb fucks eyebrows.

    The only reason you brought up your university was that you “were dealing with snobs and you wanted to beat them at their own game.” That’s very interesting, Daniel.

    Did you have anyone particular in mind? And did you in fact beat them at their own game? Any chance for a little recap of the battle, Daniel? Take your time.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  27. There are several posters here Paingirl, I wouldn’t mind meeting. Even if it was just for a few minutes to say hello (even you Petty) but unless its work related, my weekends are taken up by family & friends. I’m not complaining, I’m just stating how things are. Plus in the last 5 weekends I’ve done family or friends birthdays, plus staying over etc… & I have another one next Sunday.

  28. No montrealman you are stretegically taking me out of context. I said that I FELT LIKE (past tense, oh and I suppose I’m not smart enough for that concept) I was dealing with snobs. This of course opens the possibility of me LATER FINDING OUT THAT THEY AREN’T. A highly educated man like yourself definitely shouldn’t be taking what people mean out of context; or are you a cheap successful “CHARLATAN”

  29. You’re kind of growing on me, More-on.

    We’d enjoy having you at a summit if you could make one at some point.

    : Daniel Abraham (07/15, 9:22PM)

    Good morning Daniel. Well, a complex post to say the least. You say that I was “stretegically” taking you out of context but what context might that be, Daniel? Three points seem to crop up:

    (1) It seems to me that either you found some as yet unidentified people as “snobs” or you didn’t. But it’s not clear just how that is context-dependent. Do you mean that in one context they WERE snobs while in another they WEREN’T? This is not clear, Daniel. Perhaps if you specified the different sorts of contexts – those which were snob- inducing and those which were not – things would become clearer.

    (2) It’s possible you might mean “time-dependent” rather than “context-dependent,” but as I am sure you will agree, Daniel, the former concept does not exhaust the content of the latter. To be context-dependent, in other words, implies more than simple time-dependency. You do see this, don’t you Daniel? Anyway, after admitting that you have difficulty with the past tense – you state are “not smart enough for the concept of past tense” which I must say is not encouraging, Daniel – you nonetheless point out that it was the case that YOU FELT that you were dealing with snobs but, with the passage of time, this feeling became diminished such that the feeling became only a POSSIBILITY and that – here you venture into the future tense – you would LATER FIND OUT THAT THEY AREN’T. As I’m sure you will agree, Daniel, this is rather convoluted reasonig and could stand considerable clarificatory polishing.

    (3) Further confusion is added when you make reference to “a cheap successful CHARLATAN.” I can see that you are still smarting over the Kant-Hume distinction Daniel (and rightly so) but when I referred to you as a “charlatan” – note the quotation marks – I meant that you failed in becoming a successful charlatan. That is what the quotation marks were intended to imply. So your reference to me as “a cheap successful ‘CHARLATAN'” is, by definition, incoherent since the quotation marks indicate that he (I) wasn’t successful. I trust you see that Daniel.

    All this, of course, is rather complex. However, on reflection and now that you mention it, I think I might be a bit of a snob.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  31. by shitfaced, do you mean, falling down getting thrown in the drunk tank? or singing loudly and telling each other “i love you man”?

  32. Oh Danny boy, the pipes the pipes are calling…..

    Check your 9:22 posting – you misspelled “stretegically” first!

  33. Oh shit, spelling mistake not grammar you got me B.Bad I brought up the wrong trash (saving face)

  34. Man you’re stupid, Daniel. He quoted your misspelled word, as a misspelled word, dumbass. You have a degree? Must be from UCCB.

  35. Daniel Abraham should have just given up after you took him to school, montrealman! ( 07/16/2012 at 8:58 AM)

    Thank you Biscuit. Do you think Daniel has been humbled?

    By the way, I relpied at some length to you on “Equality for All.” You might want to check it out. Unfortunately, on the same thread, Stephen turned turkey on my reply to him.

    A pleasure as always.

    Cheerio!

  39. no sweat boru, just mail me at gary_more@hotmail.com with a time and date good for you, and we’ll get together. as to the skanky part, i don’t judge by looks or a bunch of other shit.unlike some here.only have about another 200 miles to go, before i get to where i’m going. thought to get an early start.

  40. I hope for his sake that Mr. Abraham is humble, montrealman. He certainly does need to realize that he is in way over his head. (07/17/2012 at 11:41 AM)

    I will also make sure to read your reply in the “Equality for All” post. In fact, on my way there now!

  41. Also, Ivan, if it’s an authentic Ahmedinijead GI Joe action figure I hope it comes with a series of removal blazers to accentuate the mulah’s taste in jackets!

    Didn’t you make an Andre Denny doll using the old 12″ Kamala figure and a sebastian_ version by giving Slick a white face and ginger red hair?
