  1. Temping is by far the worst possible thing you can do. You are getting paid minimum wage while the temp agency makes nearly that amount off you by answering a phone call and then calling the worker. I've never been more disrespected or put in more uncomfortable work situations than I did with temping and to top it all off, I got injured after working a full year and received less than $100 in medical and soon there after had to go on social assistance. It's great if you are in dire need of money or absolutely cannot find a job but it is demoralizing and had two guys I work with commit suicide just over the stress of the situation. It could be completely different in the States but I know there was a Manpower downtown here.
  2. http://i47.tinypic.com/2jb8ksx.jpg Heading home from work, a lady thought she could beat my car turning and failed miserably. Her car is completely totaled and mine had to be taken to the shop where I pray they don't have it as a write-off. She was charged with reckless driving but her car value is $20,000 while mine comes in at $2,000 so I'd get shit all if they can't fix it. Drive safe boys!
  3. Tim Brady mother[expletive]ers! Can't wait to see them in Detroit this year.
  4. Nets aren't going to be the Miami Heat but they'll definitely be better than the 22 win season. They kept the good players from last season and upgraded HUGELY over the D-League talent they brought up last year (most D-League players brought up in entire NBA). I expect playoffs even if it's the 8th seed.
  5. Just going to say that. Dude was a season away from getting fired and is been nothing but professional his entire coaching career.
  6. Broke a semi-big story in my city as a man jumped off a bridge and killed himself and rescuers including me were searching for the body then just hours later my story gets crushed by a bigger one in Niagara Falls. http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/2012/07/24/police-looking-for-man-believed-to-have-gone-into-gorge
  7. What a steal by the Rangers. Erixon wouldn't sign with Calgary so he must be delighted for Columbus. Least they have some Swedes on their team. First round pick will be late round and Rangers still keep a poop load of young talent. [expletive]ing hell.
  8. The people in charge of the NBA have to be the dumbest league in North America. So we will be paying for the jersey, with the ads on them and be walking billboards? I doubt this will allow for lower tickets or heck, even lower beer prices. Just ruining the heritage of the game.
  9. Blog entry from one of the victims of the movie theater speaking on her close encounter in Toronto with a shooting just a month ago. Creepy stuff.
  10. You can thank the media for over-blowing the death threats. He got exactly what he wanted.
  11. I have a hard time seeing the NHL even happening next year by the looks of where the owners stand compared to the players. Some of their requests will be laughed at as they are aiming to make players have seven years of service before becoming a free agent and rookie contracts move up to five years.
  12. The problem is we don't function perfectly together and religion is one of the leading causes.
  13. I respect everyone's opinion as it makes us humans that we can have our own views but I feel people are hurting each other over something that shouldn't even be a factor. Egyptians prayed to sun gods, water gods and all that stuff and then years later a book was created. So much has been discovered since then and it's awful to think people pray to a unknown force when so much terror happens in this world. You see on the news when someone gets shot or in an accident they say he's in a better place but he isn't, his life is complete. What irks me the most is to see athletes like James "thank goo" or "am so blessed" when it has to do with genetics, training and a little luck.
  14. Thanks duuuuuuuuuuuude!

  15. 20,000 posts. Off to Pizza Hut to celebrate!
  16. This is why I don't understand suicide bombers but I assume that has to do with brainwashing and other stuff but like many people here said, you just gotta live your life. That is also why I don't understand why people believe going to a building every Sunday (other dates for other religions) will prepare you for a better afterlife? Such a morbid thing to do is to try and get on God's good side that so by the time you die (or blow yourself up for some), you have a great spot in heaven.
  17. Great decision by the Knicks IMO. I don't see Lin exploding to make them regret the decision. Also not saying he's going to be terrible but such a short sample size and a lot of the hype is because of his heritage which is no surprise why Houston wanted him. Funny thing is Yao Ming tried to sign him and failed, now he's the new Yao in Houston.
  18. The funniest (not so funny for victims) is that the people shooting each other have so much in common yet they get into beefs and kill each other in horrible fashion. The worst part for everyone is the fact the Ontario government is looking to close down jails so that these people who go through the system for minor offenses won't end up in jail, yet can't find jobs which equals gang violence.
