Every Single One of the above opinions about "those thugs" are Biased..
It's like dismissing a sack of apples as rotten, based on a couple bad apples you can see at the top..(yes, it's the bad-apple analogy. you think of something better)
It's in our nature to be more interested in topics and events that stray from what we would like to think is "the norm". For example, given two articles about a murder spree and a new charity, im sure most readers would take more interest in the murder article. And although that general sway towards the not-normal does not account for some of the bad attention police are getting, it still has a negative affect on perception.
Beyond all that, i have to believe that anyone seeking employment in law enforcement has generally pure intentions in there heart. I cant see anyone becoming a cop because they want to beat up some pedestrians. Its logical to then assume that it's the job that makes them turn bad. The typical police officer up here is overworked, underpaid, and often emotionally distant. Apply those conditions to any work environment and the same bad apples would float up into view.
Police aren't there to protect you.
What? Even if your exaggerating to make a point, your view is still fairly skewed. Given an actual Opportunity to protect someone from harm, any police officer would help.
"They come after you've already been assaulted and robbed or otherwise violated and investigate" Yes, unfortunately criminals have figured out that beating someone up in the vicinity of a police officer is Bad. And as for following through on reports, it's a shame that you think they dont care at all. Given anything useful to follow through with, they will. But give them a general description of a bald white guy with jeans and a tshirt, they cant do much.
i dont mean to call you out Parent, this is just my opinion.
if Dr.Who has taught us anything, it's that wireless transmissions are in fact aliens made of pink lightning that suck your faces off through the television. It's clear that this technology is Years beyond our current understanding of science,:. there must be an alien creature manipulating the timeline!
Dont think we know how to measure the point WE become aware yet. Beyond knowing at approximately what age it happens at and how to tell when a tot finally figures out they exist, there's not a lot we know. I figure this'l help us find out more about how our brains work in that regard, seeing as it's made in the likeness of ourselves.
on the contrary, this could have been done years ago. the "right" time for this particular innovation is long overdue. This could have been done the moment network speed became realistically proportionate to file transfer needs, and online storage was available.
or, sign the petition to dissolve the CRTC. And make it clear to your local riding representative that this should be an issue that would make or break your support in the future. Also, the CRTC received many Many remarks from citizens, prior to their decision, almost unanimously against the proposal by Bell. But it's fairly apparent that the CRTC is protecting their own interests/investments, as many execs are former telcom execs.. anyway, you can sign the petition here http://dissolvethecrtc.ca/node/1
good point, but i live in toronto and at the moment i am within 10 mins walking distance of two public libraries and two more community centres with their own library collections. so benefit/expense for me isnt an issue. i cant vouch for the rest of toronto, only east york.
maybe then a solution is full curriculum night/afternoon highSchools/universities to be made available, adjusting employee(teacher) hours and positions based on the times The Students decide are best for them to learn at.
now that im actually thinking about it, after elementary (grd 1-8 - no middle school around here) there isnt much reason to start school at the stroke of 9. perhaps for students that need rides from parents there's reason. for many students at that age though, the need for supervision after parents leave for work isnt there. and then the need for school to start at a time that corresponds with the parents work is no longer there and high school start times become unjustifiably inconvenient... for students at least.
id expect "alternative" secondary schools to experiment with this first before anything changes... it might even stay in the alternative area in the end as i expect a lot of people(certainly not the students) wont cater to the change.
it's 630 and i have to leave now for class at 9... guhh
there are a series of books about halo.. i think theyre written by eric nylund. they are decent reads.. and i may be wrong but the plots in-game happen in between some books. so its no surprise there are 'story people'

i thought about that i bit. it's certainly different from their usual intentional leaks. maybe they just learned how to put on a better show.

ugh.. i hate you. dont follow the link
exactly, exactly, exactly. this article actually made me a bit mad at the thought of trashing innovation and opting for upgrades..
They may just be holding out on upgrades, as google wave is due sometime.. soon? and btw you can do most of that with "show search options"
