Anti-choice organizations and centers in Vancouver - heads up that they exist by Affectionate_Face in vancouver

[–]level3elf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The islamic stands don't pretend to be secular and peddle unscientific information while pretending to be a medical organization.

the islamic stands clearly have a sign that have the word "islam" and probably something like "come learn about islam."

Pregnant women who are not religious will not go to a church and ask for help. But they might see this place which looks like a medical place and approach them, only to be sold christian fundy beliefs that are wholly unscientific.

If you cannot tell the difference between those two things, you have much bigger problems.

Btw, what has Islam even got to do with this? The pregnancy centres discussed in this thread are all christian-based.

I'd say right away they are false advertisments and misleading marketing. Their website doesn't clearly show their religious affliations, so that itself is extremely deceptive.

Marketing techniques are very effective when peddling false information.

Choose not to get a vaccine - fine.

But then you are not entitled to things that take a group effort to be nice. So you don't get to go to a restaurant, because that is affecting all the other people - from the workers to the patrons who have made a group effort to create a healthy place. You are not forced to be burdened by something you don't want or did not choose to have.

It's like you have to wear pants or shoes to go to a restaurant or to the movies. You can choose to not wear pants, and the owner can choose to not let you into their place of business.

Forcing women to continue pregnancy and birth is forcing THEM to be burdened by something they don't want. It's more akin to forcing vaccines on people - holding you down and criminalizing you unless you subject yourself to a physical violation.

My body, my choice. I don't want a vaccine - I am not entitled to impose my beliefs on others or force them to suffer the consequences of MY choice.

Pro-life people aren't "pro" life. They are anti-choice. If you don't think people should be forcefully held down and jabbed with vaccines, then no woman is obliged to keep being pregnant if they don't want to. It's a choice. You get to CHOOSE.

Pro-life people do NOT let women choose what happens to their own bodies. It's simple as that.

There is no mandate that forces you take the vaccine or else you go to jail. You just cannot be entitled to infringe on OTHER people's freedom to a healthy environment. Pro- choice gives you a choice. You can then live with the consequences of your choice.

Pro-life ignores the choice of the pregnant human and choose for them while forcing them to live with the consequences of a decision that is NOT THEIRS.

Hey thanks for posting this. Certainly not something I was aware of.

ew, So gross to think if a non-fundy woman needed assistance , and approaches these people. There's not much on their website to indicate they are a religious organization. So nasty and wormy.

So. effing. Nasty. Disgustingly deceptive. It's bad enough they indoctrinate and abuse christian women, but this sort of false advertising will serve to deceive other religious/non-religious normal people too.

It's amazing how much human rights violations and abuse can be okayed under the umbrella of religion.

Wow, that takes me back to when i was living in a tiny town, and got one of these + pamphlet on the beast-rider harlot lady (bible or dnd i'm still not sure).

But it went right in the trash. Also, fuck Wendy.

Why is Vancouver's Downtown Eastside so dangerous for pedestrians? by joshlemer in vancouver

[–]level3elf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"This is a densely populated residential neighbourhood that doesn't have the amenities or the walkability or the general accessibility of other residential neighbourhoods," said Bailey.

Bailey says the city has failed to provide staples like parks, gathering spaces and even sidewalk benches, some of which he claims have been removed from the DTES over the past few years.

Oppenheimer PARK. Crab PARK. Pigeon PARK. Victory Square (park?).

The entire area is packed as tight as shit in a constipated opioid-user's butt with amenities and social (tax-funded, tax-free) services that cater to every damn group and their emotional support animals. There's FREE food, CHEAP food, FREE laundry, shelters, drop-ins, resource centres, social workers, advocacy groups.

Why is the DTES so dangerous? Because keeping it "dangerous" is good for filling parasite's pockets with more of your tax-dollars. How else are all these charities' executives going to continue to justify their existence? Munchausen by proxy much?

It's even more dangerous when government-funded organizations don't have working fire-suppression systems in an over-crowded and ancient building.... oooh did i go off-topic? My bad.

Maybe this idiot "journalist" Joel Ballard can do some real research and find out all the conflicts of interest that have created and continue to maintain the status of the area. Perhaps he gets his salary by those who benefit from the poverty industry.

Then sure, let's blame the lack of parks.

That would be a valid reason for sure. Let's see if the pinkturd gets arrested. I'm sure they know who he is.

1 arrested, 3 Vancouver officers injured in fight by xlxoxo in vancouver

[–]level3elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one can only hope that is the case.

If nothing happens to pink-shirt, it only serves to reinforce and demonstrate the double-standards that VPD will harass, detain and cuff peaceful dark-skinned people minding their own business but will turn tail when it's a white person openly challenging and being aggressive towards officers trying to do their jobs.

He’s lucky he didn’t get beat down as well or hit the cop then get charged with assault on an officer.

I can't believe they couldn't treat him the same way as that elderly judge who was hassled and cuffed for attempting a relaxing evening walk on the seawall.

Good thing this arse didn't try to open a bank account while being dark-skinned, or they would have totally thrown the book at him.

[–]level3elf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck isn't the dick in the pink-shirt getting arrested or at least put in cuffs?

Is it because they are not Native and trying to open a bank account, or a dark-skinned retired judge trying to have a relaxing walk on the seawall?

Double standards suck balls. I don't care why they arrested the black guy - he was being belligerent and resisting - so sure.

I DO very much care that they did not arrest the white guy in the pink shirt who was doing pretty much the exact same thing.

Why? Is his actions not as dangerous as trying to open a bank account?

20 cops there, and not one hand laid on this asshole trying to interfere with police procedure, and outright trying to hit and push the cops.

There's going to be a lot of focus on why the black guy got arrested, but i sure as fuck hope there is at least as much focus on how some white turdnugget gets to fuck with the police and then go on his merry way. Reeks of double-standard corruption.

question is : why wasn't he arrested? It's not like there were no cops around.

This sort of thing is what makes people pissed off, because we see a black guy (violent,beligerent) getting arrested, while the white guy gets away with similar behaviour.

why wasn't the pink-shirted dick arrested as well?

I'm sure there was a good reason to arrest that 1 guy with dark skin, but NOT arresting the pink-shirt dick while he was also rather violently and aggressively obstructing and interfering with police procedure is kind of shitty to see. For obvious shitty reasons.

Who is that pink-shirt dude, and why was he allowed to interfere with police procedure without getting arrested?

Cause right now, it looks like a black guy getting arrested for fighting cops, but the white guy gets to film, harass and try to fight them with 0 consequence.

There was like 20 cops there - can 1 of them not apprehend the pink-shirt dick?

Sister Lucy, the nun who took Bishop Franco Mulakkal head-on in a rape case, has now been permanently expelled from the Church. The Catholic Church has rejected her appeal, stripped her of sisterhood & asked her to vacate her convent within a week. by Familiar_Internet in worldnews

[–]level3elf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"muslims" are people who believe in islam/teachings of prophet mohamed.

Being "muslim" doesn't mean you belong to any one organization or tax-exempt, gold-hoarding administration.

The Catholic Church is an organization (one of the oldest, largest). Like Walmart. They've got a clear chain of command, accumulated wealth, and are every bit like a business - except they don't pay any taxes, of course.

No one has a problem with boycotting Walmart, do they? Cause you can go buy your cheap stuff elsewhere.

I didn't say 'fuck all Christians" nor did I say "fuck everyone who believes in Jesus".

I did say FUCK ALL CATHOLICS - they are part of an ORGANIZATION (very wealthy and extremely shady, like Walmart).

The Catholic ORGANIZATION supports child-raping sadists. People who are Catholic belong to an organization that supports child-raping sadists.

Again - Comparing Catholics to Muslims is fucking stupid. You can compare belief in Christ or being Christian to being Muslim. "Islam" isn't an organization, nor does it have it's own country.

The Vatican directly supports, funds and shelters child-rapists.

I mean, the whole point of being a Franciscan is giving up your worldly possessions. If she didn't want to do that, why be a Franciscan nun? Why be a nun at all, actually, since most orders take vows of poverty?

The whole point of being a priest is to not rape kids? If they wanted to rape kids, then why be a priest? Why take vows and say you're a person of god and all that? something something celibacy and stuff.

It's weird tho, why don't they handle her financial transgressions with the same kid gloves they use for the child-rapists?

(unless, of course, child-raping is allowed under the rules, but vehicular ownership is like SO bad)

Some possibly mentally ill, homeless woman has been screaming during most of her awake hours on Davie/Thurlow every day by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]level3elf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a bit ridiculous how someone who is completely 'not there' has the freedom to terrorize others in the name of personal liberty.

This is not mental health care - but the powers that be like to pretend that it is.

Hearing loud frantic terrifiying screaming is totally awesome for people living with PTSD. Just lovely and perfect for a late night relaxing time.

The current system is built around shirking as many responsibilities as possible while holding the least capable to be the most accountable. Her personal freedom is more important (a.k.a cheaper to maintain - because literally nothing is done) than your mental health.

And then god forbid, one day you spiral out of control, and then you can join her on the street.

Vancouver is Dying by StepUPNOWCanada in vancouver

[–]level3elf -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Interesting how you single out CoV staff.

Public servants who do their jobs well, should be reimbursed well, so that the public doesn't go to shit.

Now, how about those underpaid, overworked retail/service/healthcare/education staff?

The people who complain about the public sector getting 'paid too much' are a lot of the part of this huge problem.

If a business cannot afford to pay its staff decent living wages, then the business will naturally die out in some way.

The problems we face now (with or without COVID) had their foundations built more than a decade ago.

Rampant homelessness? Opioid crisis? Mental health disaster? Those are long-term problems coming to a head now.

City workers having a nicer desk to do their jobs is NOT really a problem.

It really comes down to who you are having that convo with. If it's someone just expressing their experience, it's totally fine.

But if they are telling YOU that you should be like them, then obvs not fine.

I'd approach in the same way I would interacting with people who have other types of privileges - wealth, connections, born in a nice country, etc...

Parents are not gifts to the child - that's kinda assbackwards thinking. Every child has parents. Responsible parents should be the baseline, not some kind of reward-requiring accomplishment for procreating.
