The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet
Jesus man. Poilievre had a good retort on this, says he tries to think about Trudeau as little as possible. A year and a half later and lozen still has Trudeau living rent free in his mind every day.
Yup till the day he is tried for treason and hung but he will never live in my head
Homeless or unhoused who cares yes there are a small % of folks that have fallen through the cracks but the majority of them are garbage of society with drug addiction issues.
I strongly object to referring to any person or group as "garbage." They need help. One can argue what kind of help they should receive, and to what extent the government should get involved in dealing with it. Dehumanizing folks is never helpful.
. Personally let's just let natural selection take over and stop wasting $ on them . Though also let's have capital punishment for the likes of the Sakler family and jail long term drug dealers
Let folks just die in the street from OD-ing drugs or starvation? Not the kind of society I personally want to live in, but to each their own I suppose.

I'm for forced drug treatment. I had a few friends in YEG that were paramedics and would treat the same individuals week after week. We had to call an ambulance for my brother 4 years ago and waited 4 hours as they were all tied up with overdoses

So, I take it you're backtracking on your 'these folks are garbage and we should let nature take its course' stance? Glad to hear that!
In before Moving Target takes a passionate language police stand and tells us he is going to refuse to call homeless people "garbage" because he is bravely drawing a line.
wow your still talking about it your so mad! meep meep XD rawr. what a snowflake!
one of us wrote paragraph after paragraph fuming about someone laughing at your choice of words. This is allllllllll you.
lmao geezerchess wrote more about it then either of us

Lmao at the fabrication, literally only you wrote "paragraph after paragraph" about anything. Sorry bud, you pathetically played the language police card and got all upset over someone's innocuous word choice and spammed paragraphs of AI quotes trying to defend your outrage. Trying to act all bothsidesy is just pathetic.
Wouldn't forced drug treatment for these "garbage" people be wasting a lot of $ on them?
That argument could be made for any person breaking the law that goes to prison. Are you suggesting it's wasting a lot of money to arrest and put people in prison?
These people are parasites on society, they contribute nothing, destroy neighborhoods, rob, steal, etc.
So, you're backtracking on your later statement that the drug addicts on the street should be forcibly put in rehab?
You'll please forgive me if I'm confused.
I think our ultimate goal is to have them off drugs and contributing to society which means you would force them into rehab . Lets be clear I think everyone has the opportunity to live their lives and contribute to society . The homeless that hit a bad situation but are not suffering from addiction or mental health issues we need to help as well either though government or churches . It would be a one time chance than let them do their drugs and if they overdose so be it
I also believe that the two men that were here on student visas that beat the senior couple to death should be executed . As well there should never be a defense of not guilty due to mental issues

One thing I have learned from lozen is you can quote back to back completely mutually exclusive contradictory statements, and he genuinely won't see the contradiction. You can ask about the first. You can ask about the second. He'll agree with both. He won't see the contradiction.

Why on earth are you responding to me? My quote was to point out a contradiction in lozen's statements. I wasn't articulating a view I agreed with.

Now I'm less confused after reading this:

A lot of your posts recently focus on this distinction between different types of people experiencing homeless. Those that are addicted are "garbage" and you seem to be cheering on "natural selection" which is an odd euphemism for letting people die of overdoses without help. Those that don't have addiction (or mental health) you express some low level sympathy for and want government help. But why? Why should I care less about someone who dies from an addiction versus dies from a car accident or cancer or any number of other things? Why should I think those people are garbage but other people aren't?

The reality is they are all diseases and require treatment . Left untreated the cancer patient and meth head will die and the mental health person probably ends up in jail which costs more than committing them and treating them . If a cancer patient refuses treatment they will die but its not like they are a burden on society. They do not assault, rob or steal or terrorize folks on a bus or walking down the street. As well they do not drain our emergency services

thats why you keep bringing it up when i let it end like 2 pages ago and have just been trolling the adult university professor taking the bait . I fear for the children.
This all started because I said I won't use your word I had never heard of before because its not even an offensive term. Like whats wrong with that? I didn't even say you couldn't use it but you thought that for some reason. Talk about overreaction! great look. I acually feel like you read geezers posts and thought it was me. im very confused

LMAO. Buddy, you freaked out about a word choice and went on and on for paragraphs. Oh sure, we both kept needling for funsies, but the only person who overreacted by anything is exclusively and only and forever you.
That's right. Addiction is a disease. That's why I'm trying to figure out why you are calling people with a disease "garbage" who deserve natural selection.

Certainly the consequences of their diseases are very different. Even within people with addictions, some may commit lots of crime and some don't. But many cancer patients absolutely are a burden on society in rather different ways. They can cost millions of dollars in medical care and assistance and massively burden society. I'm not complaining - we absolutely should do that. But both have burdens. And I think as long as your posting focuses on stigmatizing people with addition as "garbage" who deserved to face natural selection, you make it hard to even find reasonable solutions to try and mitigate the burdens addiction causes on the addicted first and foremost but also to the rest of us as secondary burdens.
btw, in one of your long winded, poorly written, ai quoting, multi-paragraph, word policing rants about this you called me a "regard". Was this you being unable to spell the r word, or you being too chickenshit to type it out in full?
Because it seems your very brave line in sand refusal to say certain words is perhaps slightly misfocused.
Can't you two love birds take this somewhere else? 😀

No one chooses cancer yet every person with an addiction chooses that lifestyle
