Can't win, don't try. That's uplifting.
So when your child comes to you and says math is too hard, do you tell him or her to just resign themselves to failure?
I couldn't care less about Ford, frankly I'm sick to death of hearing about him.
Ford to run in October.

He should have abandon it early on and not allowed himself to be framed up that way. I agree, but Tory was still being honest and it didn't want to flip flop. He was sabotaged by his own people as well. Extreme right wingers helped sink the campaign. I still see John Tory as an honest guy who would have made a good Premier and a far better leader than his successor in the Ontario PC's. We should not be funding the Catholic school system if we are going to exclude all other religious schools..
Funding more faith based schools certainly doesn't sound like an extreme right wing issue to me, and that is pretty much where is campaign ended.
It isn't an issue of honesty. It is simply an issue of a very bad policy idea. He shouldn't have allowed that on the platform in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but I don't know why you are hung up on this "he was too honest" thing when his real problem has just been very poor choices.
When Bill Clinton was "not having sex with Monica Lewinski", the argument was always what the leader does in his personal life should have no bearing on consideration for his office. It was and is a valid argument. Same thing should apply to Rob Ford. If he smoked crack while stealing tax dollars, he would have breached the public trust. But on his own time, well he has made his life difficult since his enemies like to skim the gutter and use everything against him, but does not affect my judgement of him as a mayor.
Lol, this whole tactic of trying to pretend that Ford's problems are isolated to one single issue is getting old.
Bill Clinton lied to congress. The issue was not him having sexual relations with that woman
Hmmmn I just got my property assessment today , that is the basses of my property tax . How about you Born Ruff did your assessment go up or down this year ?

Nope- I’ve no idea whether or not Ford will be a suitable candidate come October and I’m not oblivious to his problems in the past, I just believe the past is the past and “tomorrow” is another day. Can Ford change enough to be suitable for re election? I have no idea. I admire the man for having the gumption to give it a try, and he seems to believe in himself and generally when a man believes in himself his chances of success are better. The electorate makes the final decision, so I really have no idea as to how it will turn out. I’m pretty sure of one thing though, many of the people bad mouthing him would fail dismally if they had to walk a mile in his shoes.
No, I tell them to try harder. But it's not like I have a choice in that matter. :lol:
Depends. If you buy the quantum theory then random collapsing of wave functions. If you believe in determinism, then it was all mapped out from the start. If you are religious then God--who is omniscient--knows what you are going to do before you do, therefore you don't really have free will.
I agree. The people will decide and that's the way it should be. But Rob Ford is not the victim. He was the one who smoked crack and ran with gang bangers. He is very much the author of his own misfortune.
Trying is futile if everybody is incapable of change. If individuals aren't able to change and situations aren't able to be changed, then any attempt to do so is absolutely pointless.
That reads like an excuse to me. "What I've done is not my fault, I can't help it."
