This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard

As a woman who doesn't wear makeup, I was pissed when I read that. Seriously, of all the possible reasons to fire someone, management picked the most shallow: to fire a waitress for refusing to wear makeup. Granted, management can fire anyone for any reason they like, but even so, to fire someone over something trivial such as not wearing makeup? Gimme a break!!!!!

How could facebook be responsible for this?

Apparently, last month a Newfoundland man's lawsuit was foiled, due in part to facebook. However the article states that he suffered injuries in two separate car crashes, once in 2001 & once in 2003. Whereas facebook wasn't created until 2004.

What better solution than to ban something?

Geez, the provinicial government seems to have an obsession with banning things. First it was pit bulls, then idling, now cellphones while driving are also banned (even though none of the other deadly distractions are banned). I mean really, if they were gonna ban cellphone use in cars, why wouldn't they also ban loud music, putting on makeup/changing clothes, eating, drinking (other than alochol) while driving as well?

It'll be interesting to see if this ban actually works or if cellphone use while driving will instead increase. Something tells me the latter is a helluva lot more likely.

I can't help but wonder...

With tea parties across the U.S. this past week, I wonder if there'll be a similar revolt across ontario against the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).

I guess the left was right...

When it comes to our troops being in Afghanistan, that is. Because although I initially supported the war in Afghanistan, the news about a law making it illegal for women to refuse sex w/ their husbands (unless she's ill or if intercourse will harm her) has my support dwindling. Because after all, what's the point of our troops being there if the Afghan government is gonna go back centuries in regards to human rights?

This is sickening.

I mean why would anyone sell their kid into marriage for money, beer & meat? And what's even more outrageous is the fact that this man only faces up to 10 years in prison.

I applaud the federal governemnt...

Let me just say that I do not own a gun but I'm opposed to gun control. So when I first read that PM Stephen Harper & the Conservatives are going to bring a bill to abolish the gun registry to a vote, I was/still am damn proud of the federal government. And now I definitely know who I'll be voting for, come election time (which probably won't be for a while, hopefully).

Welcome to Canada: Land of Injustice!

Seriously, do we even have a justice system? The reason I ask is because about a month ago I finished reading Wrongfully Convicted in Canada, which explains how David Millgard, Guy Paul Moran, Steven Truscott et al spent time in jail for crimes they didn't commit, yet Vincent Lie, who murdered Tim McLean was practically freed. All because he is mentally ill, he was considerd "not criminally responsible" for murdering Tim Mclean.

Yet Another reason why I don't want kids.

Pregnancy is one of the most hormonal times in a woman's life. And it was bad enough that I went through my hormonal phase, adolesence & I don't wanna go through another very hormal phase in my life: Pregnancy.

Happy Darwin Day.

200 years ago Today, Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury England. And am I forever grateful, for if it wasn't for him, the whole world would still believe the biblical story of Adam & Eve as how we humans came to be. Of course Darwin didn't introduce the theory of evolution when he was born. In fact it wasn't until 50 years later, in 1859 that he wrote The Origin of Species.
