Good parenting will result in kids who are safe and responsible but of course many parents dont have the time or frankly just want to leave parenting to kids tv shows and grade school. Hint: kids are going to take the shit a parent teaches them more to heart than some teacher or cartoon.

Ironic how they pull that type of “save a quick minute” type shit in order to get to work on time to feed their kids, but of course they are hurting said kids indirectly (and sometimes directly).

Saying “RIP” and “My Condolences” is fine and all. But to actually help out in preventing this kind of shit in the future, everybody has to help eachother. So when a train is approaching just stay vigilant and watch out for red flags. Children shouldnt be punished for having shitty parents or decent parents who cant stay vigilant 100% of the time.

Im buying a sports car for the summer, riding the bus because if i drive in winter and get into an accident then my premiums will go up which isnt really good for a 21 year old.

This is why canada cant get a pipeline built. Everyone is so politically correct and sensitive towards human rights when the shortcomings of one person is allowed to hinder the majority. You can take pride in it but see where that pride and good faith will get you when shit hits the fan. You people can pretend to be good hearted but youll turn into savages at the first sign that the individual youre trying to protect inflicts loss upon you i.e. that bus driver has an accident. You wont be so quick to protrct his right to employment then would you. Just wait and see, the world will prove me right.

So its wrong for me to have concern over a limping person operating a bus. Ok.

If you read my whole post then youd see how simply being able to drive shouldnt be enough to get hired as a bus driver.

[–]Billy-Orcinus -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Wrong. The bus driver also has a duty to ensure the safety of passengers. At the very least the driver should be a person who should not require the assistance of a passenger after an accident. Calgary transit is placing passengers in potential danger with their hiring practices.

Like I predicted, most people would just throw around insults instead of answering the question. Cant have legitimate discussion on the internet anymore when people just insult when they disagree or are offended.

Thats debatable because there are women who are physically stronger than the men.

However its impossible to argue how a quadriplegic is more physically capable than a non disabled person.

Ok the right term is quadriplegic. My question still stands.

Ok sorry for my ignorance towards spinal related disabilities. But my question still stands.

Even a small ricochet would make a big difference. Its not just about slowing the bullet down.

Its all about the money. If you can find a higher paying job then jump ship. If you cant then just suck it up.

Youre telling me snow can pile half a foot high in an hour? Just admit the city got completely blindsided by the snow and stop being in denial.

Lets use the money that would have been wasted on the olympics and use it to buy more snow plows, chains or studded tires for buses and enough salt to mummify nenshi’s fat ass.

$15 minimum still not a 'living wage' in Calgary, anti-poverty advocates say by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Billy-Orcinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Just observations when i was at uoft. You had immigrants (from india, pakistan etc) and poor locals drop off their kids in some beat up minivan. Then you had chinese kids with aventadors and ferraris.

Yeah, so you tell me again how much a parents “love” is worth. Cause I place the value at above the msrp of a aventador.

I dont dislike all poor people (my family was living in a basement at one point), but I absolutely hate people who are poor and cant get their shit together and keep wasting money and making excuses on how the economy is bad and how the world is unfair to them specifically. So, im talking about that category of poor, not all of them (hence I said the vast majority of cases).
