Clearly you were not meant to be informed of the agenda change - grrrrrrrrrrr Sounds like you handled it and no whining!! Keep us posted.
Surfpirate replies on Oct 1, 2018:
Although I certainly addressed it personally with the President of the Howe Island Firefighters Association, he invited me, he set the agenda and he changed it so I called him on it as soon as the debate was over. Hold people like that to account, make them squirm a bit so they know that you know what shit they pulled.

@RavenCT I was once asked to join the Inner Circle by a hotel manager who also turned out to be the head of the local Mormon Church, I told him I had just one question before I gave him my answer, so he asked me what my question was. Bear in mind this was in a high powered board room at a country club in Bermuda, so with his cronies and my client listening intently I very seriously asked my question 'Will at any point there be occasion where I will have to fuck a goat in order to be part of your Inner Circle because that's just a no go for me?' The client burst out laughing, the Mormon almost had a total meltdown and my offer of membership in the Inner Circle was withdrawn, those fuckers can kiss my ass in the county square.

Never believe that because he said it that you have his vote. Have you asked him for help and if not why not? Always ask for help. People want to be asked.
Surfpirate replies on Oct 1, 2018:
I acknowledge your opinion but I don't want to win if I have to compromise my morals or my position, there's nothing in it for me except to work toward the common good and selling out is not the way to get anywhere near that. This is also not party politics the way it is in the US where there is only a 2 party system, all candidates in this election are running independent because there are no parties at the municipal level, even at what you would call the state level there are about a dozen official parties.

According to some people I was never supposed to have run because the winners were hand picked a while ago. Well surprise, surprise, surprise, they have an actual election on their hands now and their handpicked candidates are completely incompetent. The main special interest group which calls themselves the Gang of Four (do people not read history anymore) try to turn me to their way of thinking and I told them to piss up a rope because I represent the interest of all the constituents and not just them. They don't like me very much, especially since I told them to change their stupid nickname so they don't sound like the evil despots who killed millions during Mao's Cultural Revolution.
This is what women are angry about and it's a long list.

Surfpirate replies on Oct 1, 2018:
The very same thing happened to me once, said no man ever. This sort of piggish behavior is what makes me just want to smash guys like that in the face. I had a no catcall policy on my job sites, if you wanted to catcall then take the rest of the day off without pay and risk not having a job tomorrow, your business and not mine but at my place of business you will behave in a respectful manner.

Except that maybe I get off and just do a bit of community service work because I have deep pockets and can afford really good lawyers, cause rich white guys get to fuck over everybody including not so rich white guys.

The Shuar are constantly at war with the Ecuadorean government that wants access to the mineral wealth buried under their tribal lands in the Amazon, mostly gold that the Chinese want desperately to get their hands on and since they control most of the Ecuadorean national debt they tend to get what they want but not without a fight.

@kenriley Apologies my American brother from another mother, the thought of my lovely daughter being accosted by creepy misogynists may have clouded my judgement. We are fighting hard against these sorts of creeps up here in Canada and I don't doubt that the good people of America are fighting the same fight. What is scary for me as a father with a daughter living and working in Jacksonville, Florida is that the lunatics are running amok down there and that leaves me feeling that my daughter is far less safe in the US than if she were back home in Canada. She has dual citizenship through her step-father who was an officer in the USMC, so she can come and go as she pleases between the two countries. Being on the outside looking in on what is happening in the US and my many American friends who are struggling against this evil and incompetent regime gives me great cause for concern. True enough, the same fringe group has elected a populist premier in my own province and I am running in the local election to help fight against the same misguided group of elitists that are trying to turn my country into an uncivilized and inequitable society.

You do see who is #1 ? Do you also see that the problem is getting worse, that the message that is being sent by the US Government is that victims need to shut up and sit down. Check out what the numbers are on prosecution of these crimes and then also adjust your numbers for the levels of reporting on sexual assault. My wife worked in sexual assault advocacy for many years as a volunteer, she would later be assaulted herself by a business client, it took everything in me to let the process work through the courts without just beating him senseless and cutting his dick off - but I'm a bit old school.

I wouldn't consider this convoluted logic. This is an exercise in thinking outside the box and seeing if / where you go with it. Story time basically.
Surfpirate replies on Sep 25, 2018:
Adam and Eve crash landing on Earth from Mars is a pretty big leap but throw in the dinosaur extinction 66 million years ago and the unaccounted 65 million year gap between that and humans - well that's a whale of a tale.
So, this was posted on FB this morning.

Yep. Can be a scary and upsetting experience if you like the person. It's like they suddenly transform into an alien with a 50 pt lower IQ.

My wife will often give me a nudge when the conversation has gone too far and I have not only lost them but their eyes have glazed over and they are no longer even trying to keep up. It's usually a problem when it is a topic that really interests me but might be a bit much for most people to enjoy.

In the HBO series : Rome, it showed walls with humorous and pornographic graffiti. Obviously there is evidence that this was the case. Thank you for posting this.

I recall seeing a documentary on Egyptian pyramids and the graffiti left by the workmen that showed they were not slaves but skilled workers who were well payed and with a bawdy sense of humour worthy of my own construction crews.

Surfpirate replies on Sep 24, 2018:
@SaucyCheryl Well said, they indoctrinate the men and the women into these roles of dominance and subservience, making these virtues instead of the sick role play that they are.
Would you tell your daughter that she is less of a person than her brother?

@zorialoki Agreed, my wife too and it was extremely difficult to let the process work it's way to a just consequence, had he not gone to jail then it would have got medieval. I think the jail time, the public apology and the silencing of the haters helped to give my wife closure and that helped me to deal with it to.

genessa comments on Sep 23, 2018:
actually not buying into organized religion isn't what makes an atheist. not believing there are any gods is what makes an atheist. not being sure, or something like that, makes an agnostic. organized religion may go out the window along with these beliefs but that's not the point, is it? g

How can you even call it winter when it isn't subzero? That's what we call spring, fall and parts of summer in Canada. ;)

I recall one of my clients flying into a rage when it became clear that I had made an error and I stood up in the board meeting and took full responsibility not only for the error but for coming up with a solution. He yelled out 'A real man never admits that he is wrong, EVER!' I just looked at him for the contemptible, insecure idiot that he was, I later had to sue him for breach of contract, I won with punitive damages added on top because of his abhorrent behavior.

Xanadutoo comments on Sep 22, 2018:
Perhaps American schools should supply all with flak jackets. This could be paid for by a tax of $1 per round. Just a thought ,on all these CSI programmes a bullet has unique features why is this not registered with the fingerprints at the point of sale?
Surfpirate replies on Sep 22, 2018:
The unique features are caused when the bullet travels down the barrel of the gun but making ammo more expensive would certainly cut down on shootings. I think it was Chris Rock who said that there would be far fewer shootings if bullets cost $10,000 each. People would think twice before firing a $10k bullet at some asshole that isn't worth 50 cents to them.
