David Arthur Johnston User Info... | If I were a rich man... - Even if I was the 'richest' man in the world would I not, by right, have the option to be trusted (presumed innocent of) to sleep, conscientiously, in any public access space, regardless of 'emergency shelter beds'?... or are we happily accepting fascism in the name of maintaining a financial economy? Are we under a huge ridiculous delusion that would have us carted off to internment camps because allowing free sleep is mortally detrimental to what people know as 'Canada'? Are we so unwilling to consider the infeasibility of capitalism that we will condemn an entire section of society? Have the courts no notion of the fundamental principle of justice (the idea that there is an absolute truth and all justice is measured off of it)? Do we allow for justice then deal with the backlash as it comes or do we continue to believe in a lie because it is in the best interest of Canada? Do we bow to the devil in the name of order or do we transcend and start healing the world before world-wide martial law is enacted? Because all 'choices' have a reason they really are not choices... like it or not, original thought is impossible. Patience for every cop and for every pretty girl. patience is with us, David Arthur Johnston Victoria, BC, Canada [email protected] home page- http://www.angelfire.com/apes/hatrackman Journal of the Occupation of St. Ann's Academy (Victoria, BC, Canada)- http://www.angelfire.com/apes/hatrackman/welcome.htm Crimes of Necessity- http://www.loveandfearlessness.com (from filmmaker Andrew Ainsley.

BBJones User Info... | Weeeee! Even if I was the 'richest' man in the world... >> You are incapable of guessing what this would be like becuase you have zero perspective about what having money means. ...would I not, by right, have the option to be trusted (presumed innocent of) to sleep, conscientiously, in any public access space, regardless of 'emergency shelter beds'? >> No. If you did this you would be locked up in a mental institution. The only reason you aren't locked up now is because your "estate" doesn't have the funds to pay for it. ... or are we happily accepting fascism in the name of maintaining a financial economy? >> Yes we are, thanks for asking. Are we under a huge ridiculous delusion that would have us carted off to internment camps because allowing free sleep is mortally detrimental to what people know as 'Canada'? >> There is only one person living a delusion here. Are we so unwilling to consider the infeasibility of capitalism that we will condemn an entire section of society? >> Completely unwilling. However, it isn't about condeming a section of society as much as it is making sure you stop screwing things up for the rest of us. Have the courts no notion of the fundamental principle of justice (the idea that there is an absolute truth and all justice is measured off of it)? >> Wrong definition of justice. Since you have no money do you want me to buy you a dictionary? Or better yet... http://www.dictionary.com since you obviously have internet access. Who pays for that by the way? Do we allow for justice then deal with the backlash as it comes or do we continue to believe in a lie because it is in the best interest of Canada? >> There goes your cheese again. Do we bow to the devil in the name of order or do we transcend and start healing the world before world-wide martial law is enacted? >> \m/ \m/ Because all 'choices' have a reason they really are not choices... like it or not, original thought is impossible. >> Dooooooooom! Patience for every cop and for every pretty girl. >> More to that part of the story I'm sure.... - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:30am Edited: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 10:30am | ||
Chopper User Info... | Why you idiots keep feeding this troll is beyond me. Ignore it, and it'll dry up and blow away. You're never going to get anything remotely intelligent or logical as a response, if you even get a response, so just ignore the fool and he'll eventually go away. - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:01pm | ||
Bounce User Info... | well I think it's an interesting debate, we have homeless people who want to be able to sleep in public parks etc. and we have non homless people who don't want to have to step over them as we walk through public parks.Homeless people who want to sit and ask for money all day and non homeless people who don't want to talk to strangers as they walk down the street but also don't want to be rude and make them feel invisible so answer thier question as to whether they have spare change or not! even though it's none of their fucking business if I have money in my purse...anyway why don't a bunch of these "homeless advocates" get together and work for a couple of years, pool thier money together , buy a piece of property, turn it into a park and sleep in it???????????? - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:21pm | ||
BBJones User Info... | We tried that with you Chopper and you keep posting... But seriously, what other way are we going to get practice typing? And I thought nothing was original or we aren't able to live free or whatever the stupid point is... so what does any of it matter? - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:25pm Edited: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:28pm | ||

Mr. Hell User Info... | Again, you cane toting fool...if you want to sleep for free, do it in a forest that people who pay taxes aren't going to be concerned about. Even if you win against the judicial system, the taxpayers will still own your unwashed ass. - Mon, 24 Sep 2007 4:22pm | ||

Chopper User Info... | His vids are worse Sati. They could use them for torture. Doubt anyone could sit through more than the 1st 30 secs without wanting to claw their eyes out and puncture their eardrums with an ice pick. - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:17am | ||
speedymarie User Info... | i know what you mean about the vids....i tried to watch one to see if there was any sense in them(and i figured i should as i have personally made much comment about the guy's loopy diatribes)...couldn't get past the first few seconds... - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:22am | ||
Andrew User Info... | so ur all still arguing and making fun of a guy with mental problems...wow - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 6:53pm | ||

Sati User Info... | i'm in vic now. mother, hand me my spraygun i'll take care of him - Wed, 26 Sep 2007 10:37pm | ||
Jl User Info... | "so ur all still arguing and making fun of a guy with mental problems...wow" who sez he's got mental problems? you his doc? did u diagnose him? Until I see evidence of his ACTUAL condition; I feel no guilt in making fun of this idiot. Nor should anyone else thats an honest citizen of canada. Trying to upheave the gov't for YOUR own personal benefit without any regard TO THE REST OF THE POPULATION is completely and utterly childish/self-centred. So yes, I am making fun of him.... but not because he's considered "mentally ill"; but because he's an idiot brainwashing people into thinking his cause is for everyone... when its just for him. i believe he made a post with regards to "not caring if tent city happens.." and "the people will do what they will; i'll be happy with MY right to sleep under a tree". Sounds like he's really lookin' out for everyone - Thu, 27 Sep 2007 1:06pm | ||

Andrew User Info... | Giving him all this attention is just fueling the fire. and high horse damn rights. I'm with darwin..people are getting dumber by each generation, it's not my fault. - Fri, 28 Sep 2007 8:04pm | ||
Andrew User Info... | and Jl...okay, maybe he doesnt have mental problems, but he's obviously pretty fucked up beyond any return............do i really have to plead this case? - Fri, 28 Sep 2007 8:06pm | ||
Jl User Info... | why pity someone that has too much pride to accept help? No you dont have to "plead this case"; but to be sarcastically remarking that "we" are the idiots for making fun of this "mentally ill" person when this person, while he writes and believes in alot of shit thats completely ass backward, knows himself and what he believes in and why he fights for it. The only thing lost in translation is how he became so hateful towards our way of life... *cough*lsd*cough* - Sat, 29 Sep 2007 10:31am | ||
Andrew User Info... | who said anything about pity? - Sat, 29 Sep 2007 11:09am | ||
trevor corey User Info... | . - Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:52pm | ||
Jl User Info... | well you obveously dont support his cause or him; but your defense for Daj and his "condition" seems like sympathetic pity. I realise and was taught by my parents not to make fun of those less fortunate; but I also believe when you lend a hand, it shouldn't be spit upon. I feel everything this society means to a person like me is thrown out the tubes when someone like Daj comes along to change things for HIS SOLE benefit. His BS only goes so far; and I laugh when people speak concern for his "mental condition". He knows full well what he's doing and the repurcussions of his actions. I have no patience for people like him and those that defend his belief. Sorry but thats just my opinion.(i dont mean to offend you either andrew; i just dont like teh Daj. And I apologize if I offended you) ps, work sux on a saturday... SOOOOOOOOO OOO BORED - Sat, 29 Sep 2007 2:05pm | ||
Andrew User Info... | i agree man and im not really offended...if u can dish it out hopefully u can take it right. what i meant was that he's obviously either mentally ill or an idiot and the attention given is a waste of time. I do enjoy putting in my sarcastic holier than thou comments on the board...its fun. It's not my fault my life is that boring :) Anyways..peace out dude. - Sun, 30 Sep 2007 2:47am | ||

KnifeGhost User Info... | I still don't understand how DAJ sleeping under a tree is a threat to civilization. - Mon, 8 Oct 2007 11:57pm | ||
