    Rob Ford's Toronto

    The second part of this has been making me happy late December. Unless half of council flips to align with Ford, Ford has lost, it's just a question of how badly. In some ways Ford winning the election could actually be worse for him than losing, although it would be a disaster for the city...

    The Macbeths got away with everything too... until the end.

    Don't let it get you down, that's the only joy Ford Nation has left. Plus it's only a matter of time until Ford manages to find himself in deeper trouble. I thought it was sad after the COI, but then along came Brazen II. One "good" thing about Ford is that he does not learn from his mistakes.

    Wait, you mean Ford lied about us taxpayers having every right to know what Ford was doing? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/healthy-as-a-horse-toronto-mayor-doing-everything-doctors-told-me-not-to-do/article4468845/

    Good finds CowboyLogic. In AoD's first case there was this, immediately after: In MTown's case, his quote just happened December 19th 2013, which was after I challenged you to find people wishing death on Ford. In three cases, the death wish was neither acknowledged, nor encouraged; which...

    Great points.

    Sorry about that, I must have just skimmed those posts. Point taken. This sounds fair. In my case, the only criticism I've made of Ford's drug use is specific to Ford's choice to use crack cocaine being an indicator of his poor decision making skills; especially when coupled with the...

    I'm not, nor have I ever been a drug dealer, but I'm worried about being secretly recorded. Not because I have anything to hide, but because I'm a privacy advocate, and we live in a world where most people have uncontrollable spying devices on their person. I have a hard time imagining a drug...

    Thanks for the compliment! I actually get a little paranoid that I pile on too much etc, so I'm glad you're getting something out of my posts. The player denied the incident occurred, but the Star still has/had two witnesses who said otherwise. I would guess if the Star was reporting on what...

    I feel that way sometimes, but this xkcd somewhat helps put things in perspective. This comic is specific to the speed of modern life, but I feel like the same principles apply regarding moral decay, or social decline.

    Bingo. Back when the Dale vs Ford park fiasco happened one of my conservative friends told me to stop reading the Star. I was more than happy to oblige (by not sharing Star links), as the Posted Toronto section of the National Post might actually have more Ford stories than the Star! I...

    Classic CowboyLogic. There's a part of me that's glad he pulled a Ford, and didn't live up to his word ;) Perhaps it's my inner troll. In case you missed it Peepers had numerous people stick up for him. I did so too albeit in a backhanded way. With respect to finding posts where people...

    I guess you missed the part where the Hitler comparisons were rebuked by several people? Also, who wished death on Ford, and was acknowledged and/or encouraged? Also we're at the point now where being pro-Ford is an untenable position. Ford is a compulsive liar, and supporting him is...

    Somebody here embedded that Super Hans link here several months ago, it's gold. Matt King is awesome. Though so are Webb, and Mitchell. I really enjoyed Mitchell's soap box.

    Good point. I almost followed with: "what could the mayor be doing in his office that'...." before I stopped myself for obvious reasons :D Thanks. I'm glad she refused.

    If I recall correctly, paranoia is a side effect of crack use. I might just be mixing Peep Show up with reality though. I have to wonder if Ford was just being difficult for the sake of being difficult. What could possibly be recorded during the delivery of libel documents that would be...

    You were really good about understanding the problems with what you said, and you retracted your statement. edit, you said that yourself. I've got to learn to read.

    I think Peepers pushed his argument that harassment is free speech too far. In general I agree with this. I much prefer moderation systems like /.'s, however this is not /., it's UT. Having seen some posts deleted/moderated during my heavy refresh periods, I've come to appreciate the...

    Yes, your cat, and dog are part of the same Order, and they share much more in common that what you've listed. edit, you're probably trying to get at the fact that Hitler is/was guilty of atrocities, including genocide, and Ford is not. That's true, but again, the scope of my comparison was...

    Peeper's seemed to really ratchet up his trolling after being accused of being a troll. I stuck up for him earlier, and he proved me wrong.
