First a trickle....Now a flood
OftenWrong replied to Goddess's topic in Health, Science and Technology
"Trust your doctor!" -
Rates you say? Don't forget that rates are affected by the total, so if you have a population that is increasing (urban), it makes the rates go down. Also if you have a very low population, it only takes a few crimes to make the rate go way up. Certainly anyone reading the news from Toronto can see that murders and random attacks have gone way up in the past 2-3 years. But if the population also goes up, it lowers the rate. Numbers are funny.

Boycotting Schools Over Pride Events

Ha. Sounds like it's the residential school system all over again. -
Boycotting Schools Over Pride Events
OftenWrong replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
For one thing Trudeau himself declared this a war when he recently told his supporters "we have to stand against this." That means political influence from the highest office in the land. -

Heres a few more. https://thebridgehead.ca/2018/06/12/gay-columnist-condemns-exposing-children-to-debauchery-at-pride-parades/ Relevant exerpt- "despite the fact that these events now regularly expose children to male adult nudity and simulated sex acts, something that progressives seem to collectively ignore." Has a photo- https://twitter.com/TorontoPolice/status/1541152442485800963 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/im-gay-and-i-wouldnt-blame-doug-ford-for-avoiding-torontos-pride-parade/wcm/c770c78f-44da-42c0-8d47-e2f0c71846f4/amp/ Some on the left have claimed Ford’s description of Pride as an event where “middle-aged men with pot bellies” run down the street “buck naked” was evidence of homophobia. I’d say that was just an accurate description of what goes on. Disturbingly, more and more parents are bringing young children to watch the parade, exposing them to provocative displays of sexuality.

I noticed you were denying that indecent exposures take place on the pride floats. I thought this strange, because I remember it being reported in news some years ago. CBC- https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.2560522 Coun. Doug Ford — addressing Mayor Rob Ford's refusal to attend Pride — remarked he does not condone "men running down the street buck naked" during the celebrations.

I was and am a guitarist. Still love some of the songs by Led Zeppelin, Rush, Max Webster, Van Halen and Kiss (lol). Many great tunes from that era.

And yet, I saw you giving "ups" (positive reaction) to one of the worst ones in my opinion the other day. They opened their post with two sentences that both contained F bombs. The rest was an ignorant attack. I found it disappointing to see that. Don't you realize by doing that you are encouraging them to continue posting that kind of garbage? How do you reconcile with that? Be interesting to know how many posts break the rules on a daily basis. I would say more than half of them. Those people are the most prolific actually. Meanwhile I only post a few per day, and some days none at all. Basically I can't find the good stuff due to volumous pages of drivel. Remember I said they shouldnt be banned. Just find a way to wish them into the cornfield.- 1,890 replies

While you mention it, yes I have noticed an improvement in your writing style, to the point that I do enjoy reading your posts. Good work, Contrarian. If more members were like you we wouldn't have the need for moderator.- 1,890 replies

No they won't listen to advice. There is a group of them that come here, and I believe that they enjoy and look forward to their daily troll sessions. Well, different strokes for different folks as they say. IMO, let them do it. Who am I to say they should be banned etc. These are permissive times, and we want to be inclusive towards everybody. I have said this before, as goes this forum so goes the world. That's why my suggestion, a kind of 'favourite threads' list, allows me to find amd enjoy my content without interfering with anyone else. I would like the ability to choose the content I wish to interact with. This is not unlike the concept of 'private forums' that was tried earlier.- 1,890 replies

How big is the Chinese Communist influence in Canada?
OftenWrong replied to blackbird's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Trudeau's Canada. The man likes to portray himself as a forward thinking futurist and saviour of humanity, yet in reality he is a complete phony and a liar. He's with China, do you get that liberals? -

I am not complaining. I made a suggestion and it doesn't require a moderator. It's doubtful there will be a moderator in the near future. We've defunded that position. The ignore feature is one option, though I don't use it. My ignore button is the down-arrow, pretty simple tech. My issue is when certain threads appear that I am not interested in keep getting replies, like two posters giving it the good old back-and-forth, it pushes the other topics down the list. Eventually the other topics go off the first page because it has been filled with these (what I consider to be) low quality posts. If people want to do the back-and-forth thing and the forum owners doesn't care about that, who am I to complain. But since @Greg asked for some new ideas, that's why I made the suggestion. I thinks it would be useful, doesn't harm anyone else and the folks who like to have a good troll session can still carry on doing that. Win, win.- 1,890 replies

Is it possible to add a feature that lets you mark threads as "favourite threads"? Or better yet, mark others as un-favourite threads, like a flag indicating "block thread". Then allow a filter that selects to either show all the threads, or filtered out ones. That would reduce a lot of clutter and make for a more enjoyable browsing experience, imo.- 1,890 replies
