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,

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.

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

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

"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

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

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

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 :)
