• Commented on Toronto Star copyeditor edits memo announcing the elimination of copyeditor jobs
  You guys are all missing the point, this is about the destruction of good full time jobs. The editor here isent correcting this release because they want to, they are trying to 1. vent 2. show the author is an...
• Commented on Toronto Star copyeditor edits memo announcing the elimination of copyeditor jobs
  I think Cory missed the point of the article slightly. I assume he posted it as a sign of someone frustrated and fed-up with the constant destruction of good jobs in Canada (thanks U.S.A.!!!) but then Cory talks about how...
• Commented on What MP3 player should I buy?
  The lanyard thing will be an issue, however a good mp3 player sleeve could solve the problem, that would require also looking at the accessories offered. I also only use my mp3 player for podcasts but that caused me some...
• Commented on Two guys who travel the US making free and awesome commercials for small businesses

• Commented on Trotsky: the graphic biography
  @unusual suspect - So you think the communist idea will inherently fail? Im not sure im totally convinced but then, like I said, im no communist, im a democratic socialist if anything ......
• Commented on Trotsky: the graphic biography
  @Salparadise - Basically. I just think changing any system is going to require doing things that we don't like, for peace you have to be ready for war etc. I am not forgiving anything anyone did or will do, I...
• Commented on Trotsky: the graphic biography
  @Sirkowski - Who are you quoting there? not me. I did say "I do feel compelled to point out that greedy capitalists have caused way more harm to humanity then any communist or socialist ever has ...". @Jonathan - And...
• Commented on Trotsky: the graphic biography
  @Markm, #5 - I would think Trotsky would be fascinating for anyone interested in history. I do feel compelled to point out that greedy capitalists have caused way more harm to humanity then any communist or socialist ever has ......
• Commented on Trotsky: the graphic biography
  This looks very interesting, I have been interested in Trotsky for awhile but haven't committed myself to learning more about him. I wonder if this is at my local library?...
• Commented on Are Muslim Women Oppressed? Ask One
  Is it enough to simply ask any one (or all) muslim women why they wear (or dont wear) a hijab? This reminds me of conversations about "the masses", if everyone was stupid enough to think the world is flat that...
• Commented on Signing off.
  Shame to see ya go, I was enjoying the mix of Corys content and yours, maybe Cory will make you an honourary "boinger"? *LOL* yes, I just made that up. Anyway top marks for picking a guest blogger! Maybe next...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  @26 - You obviously missed too many of my posts in this thread. @31 - Are you serious? A few here need to just take a deep breath and try to understand what I have said. This is what happens...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  @Antonius - Yes your technically correct, just like I cant say my cell phone isent secretly a god. Reality as best we can tell has no higher power, but thats a very technical way of looking at it and it...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  @Anon #22 - "We have to do that often enough for the Christians!" Funny how you cant see the irony of this statement and end up totally discrediting yourself. Ill say it again, religion playing any part in our culture...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  Ok, if we want to get into this we can, guess I started it anyway ... If a psychic goes around telling people that their loved ones miss them etc then you would be ok with that? You wouldnt see...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  Im with you Lyddie except there is one thing your totally, 100% wrong about, im not being intolerant, intolerance doesn't enter the equation here. I tolerate religion all the time, im simply feeling sorry for our species because we integrate...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  Me too but I am referring to a world where NOONE cares about religion, I expect spirituality but lets enjoy our species without the religious connection. Like ancient greek art, its beautiful and we can appreciate it but everyone who...
• Commented on Happy 5770!
  As an atheist i hope one day great cultural songs can be enjoyed by everyone without anyone caring about the religious connection. p.s. the best line is about the keg of beer...
• Commented on Search Engine's Jesse Brown: Boing Boing Guestblogger!
  Im totally stoked, search engine was one of my fav podcasts back in the CBC days. I have to confess I havent been as stuck to the podcast since its move to TVO but thats only because of "drama fatigue"....

  @ #46 - You mean the VAGINA?! You can type out the word you know. Jesus wont come and turn you into a pillar of salt *L* Sorry, im sure your on the level but I find it hilarious that...
• Commented on Battle of The Billboards in LA: Giant Boozy Ladyparts are OK, Criticizing Insurance Companies Ain't.
  Just an example of consumerism trumping everything else, yet again. Its hard to stay focused on this sort of thing, corporatism has won in the u.s. and noone cares (except for a handful of us). For the record I think...

  Donut holes? oh wait, you mean Timbits! gotcha, carry on! ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbits...

• Commented on Bruce Sterling's closing talk at Reboot -- life in the next decade
