What the hell is with the number of Melvin-esque greasebags in this city? Not 5 minutes ago I had some skeletor crackhead and his teenage-pregnancy-case girlfriend come up behind me at the bus stop and, entirely unprovoked, tell me how he'd like to "punch it [me] in the face, if it [I] even had a face." Then spent a 15-minute bus ride listening to these 20-something children talk about the drama they had on the go: who they hated, who they wanted to "smash", and their knives. I may be an "Asian bitch," as one group of teenage boys on Chebucto Road put it, but I'll have the last laugh when I've finished my degree and gone to work elsewhere while you're rotting here, FUCKING HELL.

Before one of you lovely regulars tells me to "go back to Toronto" or some bullshit like that, I was born here, so suck it. What do these people do beyond age 30-40, anyway? Sit at home on welfare and smoke away whatever brain cells remain?

On a very related note, the hell is with that bigoted pig Jason Kenney removing the gay/les equality bit from the citizenship book? This guy is our minister of multiculturalism? With people like him in charge no wonder we've got hillbillies doing cross burnings, gay beatings in CB...

Most of you are grand but the nutjob minority 'round here drives me nuts. If you need me, I'll be hiding out on McNab's Island for the next 50 years. —NS I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down
