I think she did a pretty good job of centering herself out well before I posted my comment.
I also think you've mis-understood my intention: It wasn't to center her out. I was trying to say that some of her comments in this thread don't really "gel" with her personality (inconsistent might have been a better word than ignorant I suppose - either way, I digress). |
i don't agree.
Lisa's personality is exactly shown in this thread.
Just like Jon said. "Classic Lisa".
Lisa is coming across like a hippy that helps the homeless and that's exactly what i would imagine her to do. |

On City TV yesterday they were debating this and the conversation turned into a discussion about how "putting a shelter on this corner is a good idea, the problem is the hooligans that come to the club district"
Hooligans or not, sometime someone in David Miller's office is going to finally understand that having a good entertainment/nightlife industry is beneficial to a city. Who wants to travel to a city where there is nothing fun to do?
It amazes me how easily any discussion gets turned into "the clubs are the problem" |

im wondering if they immigrated here, how the hell they did it. unless you're a refugee, u need to have a certain amount of points to even be eligble to immigrate to canada and those points come from income and the level of education you have. |
you can be "sponsored". |

I'll begin by saying that while posted under this thread, this thread is not the sole cause of the rant below, just the straw that broke the camel's back. Let's begin,
Perhaps we can all give the thread policing and villification of people's opinions and character, be it their real ones or those they project from the anonymous safety of a message board, a rest.
Let's keep to respecting one another here, we are all on the same team and 'winning' a debate on TA doesn't gain you any more respect, especially if done so by calling people out.
In my short time on TA, I've seen a shift in tone across this board. When I fist signed up, some veteran TA's expressed to me their frustration about these 'attacks'. I didn't see it.
Now, having met most of you and having some experience on this board, I find myself in the same boat.
This attitude some people carry is enough to make me want to write off TA entirely, if not for the social networking I get with people I know, people I call my friends and people that share my interests. And besides, why should those of us who come to TA for some good natured banter and information on events we might like to attend have to give it up because some people feel the need to qualify themselves as the smartest or coolest people on this forum?
Really folks, it's a message board.
Everyone needs to stop taking themselves so seriously and remember why they joined up in the first place.
I'm sure I'm going to get some smarmy reply to this so I'll save you the trouble...boohoo, stop crying, if you don't like it - leave, etc...Right? Well you. I'm not saying this to elicit a reaction or to get any kind of discussion going on this, but it's a forum to post opinions and this is mine.
If Del were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave. |

By that, I meant "here comes Lisa totally about to derail this thread from what the actual topic is"...
(Which just to re-iterate is about the geographical location of the shelter, not about the municipal welfare state) |

You are completely missing the point...
It's not respect that is gained by winning arguments but points.
For every argument/debate/tiff that you win you get three points. For a tie each person gets one and for loosing you are deducted 10 points.
You can see from the inbalance in the point structure, that it is very important if you do get into a argument/debate/tiff that you win otherwise you will lose 10 points.
Points are redeemable at the TA Banquet for extra door prize tickets. |
