Ya i agree is kinda old news but non the less very interesting for those who have only started partying in recent days. I remember hearing about stories from friends back in early high school and stuff about raves and the huge venues they used to be held at. I only wish i had the chance to experience a party in the 90s with the friends i knew that partied back then. But then i think had i started partying back then, i dont know where or what i would be doing with my life now.

Yes this is very old new, this artical was made in 2000.

You have to educate the new commers and give them the reason / turth of what we went through in the past. It's not like I look down on the noobs at all.

old news, but at least it gives those newer to the scene an idea of why we can't do what other places can. It sucks, but it's where we live.

What I don't understand is why they bust our balls so much when there is so much more violence in regular clubs. Toronto and Canada are so narrowminded with their laws, its horrible.

No drinking until you are 19
Bars close at 2:00 AM
X amount of paid duty officers required for an afterhours event
blah blah blah

The thing is, we are so entrenched in our ways that any change will cause people to either freak out or abuse their priviledges. The rest of the world is just fine with the way they live because they are brought up with those rules hammered into their heads. We can live in any setting, its change that we have problems with.

True ...

yes, this whole situation is brutal and unfair. Ridiculous. I notice a lot of things that are unfair even in this country ... that affect my life everyday

It was the whole undemocratic rave crackdown that opened my eyes to sham being pulled on Canadians in our so called free society. That is the event that started my political views about how much we truely live in a dictatorship. We like to fool ourselves into thinking we are free and liberal when pretty much our whole lives in canada have already been predetermined by the government from what kind of dog you can own, to what time you can stay out at night to even what kind of alcohol you can drink and which tv channels you are allowed to watch.

Its pathetic

And yet how many police officers are present at a hip-hop club?? (where 90% of club violence takes place?)

I have been going to raves/dance events/festivals for 5 years now and have not seen one SPEC of violence.....

I have also been going to hip hop clubs for 6 years, and have heard of MANY shootings, seen MANY MANY fights, and have even been PRESENT at a stabbing.....

makes sense

this is why Montreal will always be ahead of us in the Major event functions. Sad to say but there are alot of close minded people in Toronto. I can't believe that i am going to be a cop....oh for shame

the reason why yo uhave all these shootings and stabbings is because kids these days watch too many hip hop videos, and they think to themselves"oh i wanna be just like 50 cent". Fuuuucking morons grow up. I love the Edm scene, everyone is friendly(we all know why), but at least it makes people feel safe that they won't get stabbed or shot.
