Oh, I calculate the City of Ottawa's been named a whole bunch of things.

There goes the Local Neighborhood.

I've already been condemned to hay-ull by half a dozen redneck preachers. Now I got a wannabe imam. I'm going for the set.

Never claimed you said it.

Well, ya know, if Allah really meant for humans to be on all the planets, he coulda made 'em less hard-vacuum/poisonous/crushing gravity/lethal radiation. Guess Allah ain't a detail guy.

Yes, dear. Everybody's mean to poor li'l Dix.

I'm good. I'm not sufficiently interested to invest much in it, but if I get more interested (or more bored), I don't need or want you to be my Google bitch. You got better things to do. Appreciate the offer, though.

How very Canadian of you. . . :ROFLMAO: But yeah, one of the great conundra of our times. . . "Pardon me, but is what you're doing protest, art, politics, or just stupid?"

Yep. The presumption that to be anti-Israel (or more specifically anti-whatever Israel happens to be doing at the moment) means one is anti-Semitic is a false equivalence designed to bully critics into silence. Nothing more.

I'd want more evidence that any given political party attracts it. Down hereabouts, anti-Semitism is rife among Black people, many of whom, despite being typically associated with "the left," claim that "Jews" had a large and culpable role in the slave trade (tolerance/acceptance of...

I think the terms "left" and "right" fit poorly here. If anything, it's a demonstration that the left/right dichotomy is a sadly inadequate way to express (or assume) political positions. Which, of course, makes it a great way to bash themmuns.

Ski said something I found to be a fresh breath of ordinary wisdom. . . Makes sense to me. If a person presents publicly as a male in dress, hairstyle, and all those identifying social cues, I'll call that person by masculine pronouns unless and until corrected by somebody who knows what...

Well, being a real conservative and all, I'd say the solution is for private enterprise to work out. Government should get out of the way.

I'd agree. The more people involved in the chain, the greater the chance of fuck-ups. A movie set should have exactly one armourer, and nobody but the armourer and the actor to be doing the "shooting" should be allowed to handle any gun. The armourer gives it to the actor, the actor uses it...

That sounds fairly healthy. 3-5 major, nationwide providers and a reasonably healthy group of regional and re-sellers appears to be the optimum, for now. I was part of the Big Boom in telecom. In the U.S., it shook down to four majors (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon), and a flock of...

Pretty good chance at the time. The threat has shifted. But there's always the threat. We need to be smart and agile.

It was on the other side. They're in the former East Berlin. Because the statue faces east, I used to say I re-upped under four horses' asses.

Damn. I have a photo of myself re-enlisting on a spot less than 100 metres from where they're standing. Of course, mine has the Berlin Wall between me and the Gate.

What sentence would you suggest?

Serious question. . . who are the players in telecom in Canada? Major and minor, please.
