I met you on Saturday on the #2 bus going downtown. You obviously were not having a good time on your vacation from Toronto and I am sorry for that. Halifax is a wonderful city with lots to see and do during the summer. However it seems that the family or friends you were staying with were obviously failing as hosts in not taking the time to show you around. And while you did the right thing by striking out on your own I would have suggested checking online or the papers for event times and locations. But to be honest your attitude also needs adjusting - yes our transit system isn't as good as Toronto's is and yes, we probably have many of the same festivals as Toronto does but try to be a little more...em...gracious about these things? Also try to open your mind about any gay pride parade - you missed a good one by the way!- and you should be a happier person. Anyway, I hope the rest of your trip goes a little better. —Fellow Torontonian now at home in Halifax

Wrote letters+Halifax, nova scotia+pseudonym. I saw fliers years ago about some nut in the 19th century writing letters and posting them around town, that in their essence, was 19th century political trolling. He went by a fake name like Argyle or Agricola or some shit like that. Google knows NOTHING. Does anyone know what the fuck I am talking about? And fuck all these sub cultures in this city, everyone from metal heads, to punks, to hippies, all act like elitist fucks; with their closed social circles and bullshit fucking attitudes. When I nod to you in passing; feel fucking free to nod back and not turn up your goddamn nose. WHEN I WAS A BOY; metal was about being a dirt bag who only wanted to have fun; and wore sweat pants with mustard stains and old t-shirts; we didn't Fuck you and your preening. I hate this city. I love this city; but I hate the people who are in it; mostly; not everyone; but most anyone who rolls in the groups and cliques. Go fuck yourselves. And who is that guy that wrote the letters? —Angry 30 Year Old Bitter Cranky Man Who Hates Everyone For The Most Part

You are pretentious hipster douche canoe and you don't even know it. Go sell coke to kids and take another selfie pic for your Facebook with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. You are so edge, eh bud? —Shit Kicker

Thanks for taking my order, and delivering half the amount of food I ordered and charging me full price. When I came in to complain, you were rude and tried put the blame on me. In the end, I didn't even get a partial refund. —Customer Lost

Listen, I get it. Along with your $0.75, you accidentally threw in a washer, or a foreign coin, or a piece of pocket lint instead of that Canadian quarter you meant to use to pay your bridge fare. And backing up to throw in another quarter was clearly beyond you. Fine. But when I throw in the change to cover your trip, the least, the absolute least you could do is acknowledge me with a wave or a thumbs-up before speeding away. Asshole. —Trying to get good karma has never made me angrier

Shaken up a bit. Saw someone almost die....she was one lucky woman. Guy ran a light at fairly high speed and missed hitting her car side on by about 6 inches...fucking idiot. This was on North and Windor. He just kept on going...merrily on his way. That red light is not there for decoration. Someone's life depended the driver paying attention. Some people shouldn't be allowed behind the steering wheel of a car. —some old dude

I hear about people getting $2,000 per month from the government.. for free and no application needed.. all they had to do was reproduce multiple times. Now, say I am a person that doesn't want to have children, where is my free government money? People having MORE children so they can get more government money, and they just raised the monthly amount too.. shouldn't there be an incentive for people that DON'T have children? You know, for the people that AREN'T giving birth to the future waves of welfare bums? —No-child credit

This is to all the Halifax drivers who drive in the wrong lane and stay in the wrong lane until the last second and then try and dive into the right lane. Fuck You. If I'm there, good luck. I wouldn't let my own mother in. Wait in line like the rest of us losers. Get in the right fucking lane when you're suppose to or take the fucking bus. —Jeff Gordon #24

Man, it sucks when you idealize someone and, not only do they disappoint, they actually turn out to be crude, boring and unoriginal. This one in particular did herself up like a Venusian dream and turned out to be the most nauseating personality I have ever encountered. To hear hill-billy cursing and swearing from an angelic face, a completely demented gonzo sense of humor, juvenile Satanism(grow the fuck up!) and she date a dude who resembles her own Dad(Fuckin' gross, I know!) —N0 Thanks...

I have just read several stories of someone in authority making a homophobic post or an indecent comment and something on bullying, and of course it’s a news item so who knows how many times it will be seen and commented on, or be posted and reposted causing them to go viral.

And for me that’s the bigger issue, these message will spread more people will see them discuss them and a new band wagons begin to form. Different groups will once again voice distain for the comments, others will call for action, and some will undoubtedly support them, causing an even greater debate, then they will spin out of control until they fizzle and die until the next great outrage sparks the same whirlwind uproar and so on and so on and again nothing changes or gets accomplished.

I’m truly tired of debates on these types of subjects who’s right who’s wrong … I have no idea.

I’m one man with a sense of right and wrong and feel I’m as “Good” a person as I can be, am I perfect, am I an Angel no just a person trying to do what’s right as I know it.

I sat thinking what can I do when I see something distasteful or offensive to my sense or right and wrong … and the only thing I could come up with was… Act.

So here is what I’m going to do from now on, when someone posts a comment that I find distasteful or offensive I will not comment on it, I will not repost it, I will not forward it, and I will not share it. I will block it… I will block the person that posted it, I will unfriend them, I will unfollow them, and I will hopefully help “Stop the Message”.

Actions are stronger than words so act.

When someone makes this type of disrespectful, distasteful, and vile comment, let them know that it is completely unacceptable by simply walking away.

They will soon notice that they have no friends or followers listening to them, and their voice and opinions have gone silent.

Maybe I’m right maybe I’m wrong but I think taking Action might be a step in the right direction. —TR
