To the dude who was told to be quiet on a certain university's arts commons and proceeded to be a belligerent, childish asshole about it: the dude who asked you politely to be quiet was right. It was a quiet zone and you were loudly and obnoxiously bothering everyone around you. Yelling at him that he's making it less of a quiet zone by asking YOU to shut up and then muttering "dick" under your breath just made you look like a pathetic manchild. I saw you with flyers for a marijuana legalization debate. Maybe you ought to smoke some, it'll chill you out so that maybe you can react to polite requests less like an angry drunk dickhead. To the guy who asked him to be quiet: thanks, man. —Doesn't Give a Shit About Your Weekend So Shut It

Trying to buy a couch and getting so sick of people wasting my time posting these nasty dilapitated sofas on kijiji for hundreds of dollars! Outdated, saggy rust coloured crap or floral printed crap purchased over 20 years ago, torn to shit by your cats and children. You have the audacity to ask for two hundred, five hundred and upwards for these pieces of pure garbage? What kind of crack are you smoking to think anyone will pay that? I wouldn't take that off your hands for a fucking dime. I've seen better couches placed under the FREE section. You people and your "Antique Settees" listed for thousands also need to WTFU - these ugly uncomfortable hunks of junk are a dime a dozen at the flea markets around here. And quit posting your shit under free stuff if you don't plan to give it away. So many times, I open these ads and there are conditions attached (i.e. free keyboard with purchase of a computer). You are an asshole. —The 70's Called, They Want Their Furniture Back

If you are anything like me you are young and broke with more debt then you'd like to acknowledge. I'm in my late 20's, I went to university and have been working in finance for the past 7 years or so. Finance is can be a very complicated thing so I'll try to make my bitch as easy to understand as |I can. WE ARE BEING ROBBED OF VALUE The government tells us inflation is 2-3% (if you want to reference this its called the CPI). The actual figures are much higher. The necessities of life are food, heat and shelter. Over the past year food prices have gone up approx. 10% (chronicle herald did an article on this a few months back) Electricity cost are going up a minimum of 3% a year (plus whatever else they get approved for as they seem to ask and receive more approval every few months) Rent for most people goes up by 3-5% a year (mine personally went up 4% from 720 to 750, and was 680 2 years ago when I started living there). If you own, and are debt free this doesnt impact you, if you have a mortgage, get ready for prime to climb, it isn't going lower. If you drive, its pretty easy to see that fuel costs rise about 5-10% a year lately too. If you aren't too good at math, it is impossible to have a lower average then your lowest figure. For those of you skilled in math I challenge you to take a weighted average of your own expenses (if you have your bill history from a year ago, or keep it now to look in a year). The rate of inflation I personally have experienced over the past year is 7%, I did the same exercise for my father and his was 9%. I turns my stomach every time I have to talk the CPI numbers at work and feel like I am knowingly being dishonest to customers. Simple economic laws of supply and demand confirm that creating new money makes all existing money have less value. Companies realize this and increase their costs, normal citizens end up paying for it. New money is created when banks (through loans and credit cards) create new money from nothing on computers and people spend it and it goes into circulation. It is estimated that 95% of Canadian dollars in existence only exist on computers from this practice. If you are interested to find out more about this, research fractional lending. My point is that we are getting ripped off, and I encourage anyone interested to not believe the propaganda being fed to us by our governments, banks and media, and to look at your own finances and make the best decisions for yourself. If you want to keep your value, that 2% investment isn't going to do it for you. Gold and Silver have survived all currency collapses (history tends to repeat it self) and has always kept up with inflation. Also interesting to look into is Bitcoins (the 2nd most used currency in the world to government currencies) as bitcoins inflation is predefined and controlled, also it is tax sheltered due to its private nature. I wont get started on how corrupt our tax system is. Live Long and Prosper. —rEVOLution

To the man who nearly killed me in the intersection on Saturday night: I've had a lot of near-misses in that crosswalk over the last two years living in this neighborhood, but typically the drivers don't stop to tell me how it was my fault. You accused me of wearing black (you mean blue? get your vision checked) and coming out of nowhere (with a walk light that I had to wait for). Because of how cute your dog was I hesitated but after you continued to chew me out I took a swing at your face. You immediately drove away as fast as you could. I have a tip for you, don't roll your window down when you've just recklessly threatened someone's life unless it's to apologize. Also, look before entering an intersection. I was looking, that's how I was able to jump out of the way of you. — Little Miss Frogger

You constantly talk about how much you hate your parents and your job. Waaa My parents didn’t get me a car. Waaa my parents charge me rent to live at home. Waaa I’d rather be dead than go to work. Waaa something’s wrong but I’m not going to say so you’ll ask me why. Waaa I’m sleepy. Waaa I’m sick with 500 different diseases but not really. Waaaaaaaa. How about you’re a 25 year old bitch of a woman-child who needs to shut the fuck up. —Nobody Cares
