Here I was, biking up Oxford street tonight, when I spotted an 8-to-10-year old waiting at the intersection to cross. So I stopped. And waited, and waited. For a WHOLE MINUTE as cars behind me continued up the street! I stop-signalled, pointed to them and then to the pedestrian, everything short of shouting down a car or blocking their path. How disgusting is that? Cars in the city are known for "vehicular privilege", in that because they are able to slaughter you they feel entitled to the right-of-way. All to hurry up to get to the traffic jam down the street. Disgusting. —Then one who stops

For fucks sakes Halifax!!!! can't you tell a street musician from a panhandler? Do I need to get interact? Are you afraid of real live music?Why do 99.9% of you walk by, smile, acknowledge the talent and then pretend that you are busy at something like your fucking cell phones or your room mate because you just can't handle the reality of what DJ's and Karaoke did to live music....... Ok and while I'm at it. Stop hiring DJ's you fucking Dickhead moronic selfish bar owners. Halifax you so gross me out. I'm going back to Europe where they appreciate art!... and pay for it, because they love it. Good thing there was people with class and taste in the 80's when I paid for my house from busking with the help of good people who had enough class to reach in to their pockets and say thank you for your music dude. You obviously worked hard to learn your shit. Halifax don't become Toronto! Please......... Ok, need to say thanks to the decent folks who actually cough up. You are why I will still be there. 3 20's and a 10 at the end of my shift Thursday night. Thank you and God bless. Cheers, D And "fuck you" to the Prick who broke in to my van and stole my laptop. —Banjo

To those that insist on denying admission of some veterans into the local world-renowned Veterans Hospital - STOP!!! Why are you doing this? These folks gave their all for us and we should be giving them the best care we possibly can at the end of their lives. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!! —Pissed and Ashamed

The Orlando tragedy is NOT something on which you should piggyback to quench your thirst. Oh, look at me and what happened to me as a result of the dead and wounded in Orlando. Is there nothing you won't do to be in the spotlight? —Just Stop. STOP!

To the person who screamed "NO FUCK THIS FUCK YOU" and on and on during the moment of silence at the LGBTQ vigil: fuck YOU. Silence isn't how you want to mourn, alright. It's apparently "not how to grieve." But screaming all of that did one thing: it made all the other queer people around you afraid. All anyone did the rest of the night was look nervously behind them, ready to move if there was danger, hands on phones to call for help. You'll say your rage should be validated or some-such bullshit, but here's my rage, so validate it: you're a petulant asshole. You wanted to create fear, and you did it. I'm sure you feel good about it and won't be accountable; congratulations on your accomplishment, whatever that was. The rad activist clique in this place is nutso. I can't wait until all you smug jerks move to Toronto. —Solidarity For-never

I'm an understanding person; at least I like to believe I am. The bus is late because there's an accident? Fine. Late because of construction/events? Fine. Late because a bus broke down? Understandable. But every. Single. Bus. Is. Late. I use the bus at least twice a day, seven days a week. I use multiple lines to get to various parts of the city. There's no fucking way all the above is happening all at once. I've been late to multiple events/meetings/appointments because of the bus. I've seen bus drivers being rude to riders because they were confused about the schedule. How dare you?? And the new Go Time system. Garbage. Thanks for wasting all that fucking money on an even more useless schedule system. How is it a city like Moncton has a much smoother transit system than Halifax? Their buses have GPS tracking, free wifi, and actual schedules posted at stops. Please, please, please, get your shit together. —A Furious Transit User

A seeing-eye dog is a specially trained animal whose whole life is to protect and guide you. You can trust it because it loves you. So where the fuck do you get off taking a dog into a crowded bar on karaoke night? Loud music. Crowds. Drunks. And even broken glass on the floor. Even if no one stepped on the dog. Even if it didn't cut its paws on the glass that smashed inches away from it, you still put an innocent animal through hell that night. And for what, so you can sip some beer and giggle with your paaaals? Are you selfish or do you just not give a fuck about your dog's well being? Either way, you'll continue torturing that animal because you are an asshole and there's no cure for that. I hope your friends stop pitying you and you die in lonely darkness. You are absolute garbage and you deserve the life you're living. —Calls Them As I Sees Them

Hey you with your orange security t-shirt and red pick up truck. My son and I went to the parking lot of the Park on Saturday because he wanted to show me how well he could handle a car (like any young guy hyped about getting his license). I thought the grounds to this place was public and that it would be alright to let him strut his stuff in the empty parking lot for a few minutes. There was no one in the near vicinity, except way over at the other end. Nothing appeared to be happening in the venue. After a full 3 minutes of driving and a few donuts we were ready to leave. You came racing over to us and parked behind us. I guess you thought this would make it impossible for us to 'escape'. You then proceeded to shout at us, and tell me I was just a show off ???. Then you said it was private property. I tried to say that we did not know it was private property and that we were just leaving. You kept on railing and then called me an a**hole several times in front of my son. Well I can be an unprofessional moron with the best of them; so back at you. Oh, and, Happy belated or is it bregruding Father's Day to your father, a**hole. —Cranky_Dad

Discrimination! I am crying discrimination! I pay rent and have the right to disrupt an entire building with my door-slamming and yelling becuase I pay rent here! I am entitled! —Up: The direction in which you should fuck

I'm no stranger to the dating game. In my experience 90 percent of these idiots your stuck with are not worth the time of day. Most prove to be only useful for sex and nothing more. Most lie, cheat or pull disapearing acts then suddenly reappear. They think you will forgive but then get bent out of shape when you call them out on there shit. A person can only handle so much bull before saying no more and either give up or end up bitter over it. My point being i have given up and will not even bother trying to date due to all the idiots out there who deserve to be single. If your a liar,cheater, etc you do not deserve anyone and should do all a favor and not bother wasting others time. If all you want is sex just say it. Don't lead someone on with false promises. Karma is a bitch and will get you for it. If you don't want to be with someone tell them rather than dissapear like a little boy/girl. No one is perfect and we all have our pros and cons. But if your cons outweigh the pros then you should not waste anyones time with your pathetic lies and excuses. All your doing is burning out the good ones who can be honest and loyal. —Burnt out and staying single
