There isn’t much worth loving, so lets do some "the world is fucked up"… shall we?
Via Feministing I learned that Nicaragua has eliminated all exceptions for abortions.
Some opponents to the law had hoped Mr. Bolaños, a conservative, would
not sign the bill because it did not include the stiffer sentences he
had wanted for women who had had illegal abortions, or for those who
had performed abortions. The six-year prison term remains unchanged
under the law. The president had asked for a 30-year prison term.
Ruin your own life with a child, or they’ll attempt to ruin your life for you. If I were a woman in Nicaragua I’d be raising a shit storm.
Canada’s PM, Mr. Harper, met the Chinese President, and was said to be a ‘laughing stock‘.
“[Mr. Harper's] dangerously driven by preconceptions, deceptions, self-delusions and arrogance,” Mr. Graham said Monday.
*Shrugs* … this doesn’t suprise me. My country is being run by a fucking moron. Not *as* bad as America’s fucking moron, but I wouldn’t trust Harper with a war either.
Universal is sueing MySpace because of illegal downloading.
Universal Music Group (UMG) on Friday filed a
lawsuit against MySpace.com, alleging that the Web site is building a
business based on publishing stolen songs and music videos.The suit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, called MySpace a "vast virtual warehouse" of pirated copyrighted material that belongs
to blockbuster artists such as Mariah Carey and U2. UMG also claimed in
the filing that "no intellectual property is safe" from the alleged
copyright infringement.
Okay, I’m sorry, but why wouldn’t universal just bunk up with them? MySpace is huge, why not get in on that sexy action? And I think say the site is ‘based’ on stolen songs and music is a big over the top - not only is it a networking site, not a music site, it also happens to give a spot light to bands that aren’t ‘bitchen’ and ‘hoe’ filled enough to make it in the main stream.
Kristin Wilson of Edmonton, AB is sueing the Edmonton police force for $6 million dollars.
Edmonton’s police chief has ordered a misconduct hearing under the
provincial Police Act to probe an altercation involving an officer who
was photographed last June hitting a 20-year-old woman who was
handcuffed during a raucous street party.
Good. Sue ‘em up and fuckin’ win.
A study says that doctors may be contributing to Canadian addicts.
The research found that heroin, once the drug of choice for most
addicts, has been largely replaced by prescription narcotics, including
Dilaudid and OxyContin, in most cities in the study. Exceptions are
Montreal and Vancouver, which are major heroin import points.
Last year when I went to the doctor to talk about my inability to sleep and my depression he automatically put me on 3 different medications… Lithium, Seroquel and… shit, I forget what its called Effexor maybe, but I think thats what the second doctor decided to put me on… Anyway, logically you would deal with the depression or the sleep as a root cause of the other, but no. He was quick to get me out of his office by slapping down a few prescriptions and telling me to make an appointment for 3 weeks later. The second doctor I went to, did the same thing.
Despite with Andy Pandy says, NYC police claim NYC is a safe place. …At least murder wise.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was quoted as saying that the 7
percent rise in murder rate was caused in part by a large jump in
re-classified homicides, or people who were attacked years ago, but
died recently from those wounds.Kelly said when those deaths were excluded, the murder rate is
only up 3 percent. So far this year there have been 499 homicides
compared to 467 through the same period last year. Despite the rise in
the murder rate, the city is on pace to have the second- lowest number
of murders per year since the early 1960’s.
…That’s a lot of homicides.
Some white supremacist gang members are being sentenced to prison for murder and racketeering.
Barry "The Baron" Mills, 58, and Tyler "The Hulk" Bingham, 59, were
eligible for the death penalty but a jury deadlocked, meaning they
likely will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of
parole.Edgar "The Snail" Hevle, 55, faces 20 years to life in prison for
racketeering, conspiracy and murder. The fourth defendant, Christopher
Overton Gibson, 47, faces 20 years to life in prison for racketeering
and conspiracy, but he is recuperating from back surgery and will not
be sentenced Tuesday.…
Hevle and Gibson were convicted of conspiring to murder the black inmates.
Mills, Bingham and Hevle also were convicted of a count of murder
for the killing of Arva Lee Ray, a prisoner at the Lompoc, California,
penitentiary in 1989.
Where is the fun in white supremacy? seriously. Same with raping little girls.
An Anniston man has been arrested and
charged with second-degree rape and two counts of enticing a child for
allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old student he picked up at
Wellborn High School.The
suspect, 22-year-old Antonio Gray, faces a court hearing January 11th.
Gray was arrested Friday when Calhoun County Sheriff’s deputies
followed up on a tip from a school employee who wrote down the tag
number of the suspect’s vehicle as he left the school with the girl.
In Vancouver riots broke out over discussions of funding for a women’s shelter.
Vancouver police have arrested three people after a violent clash broke out during a protest over funding for a women’s shelter.
About 50 demonstrators gathered Monday night at the city’s main public library, where a council budget meeting was being held.
Alright Vancouver people, seriously… fuck off. At least your abortions aren’t being banned. This is what I complain about the most. How is anyone supposed to make any sort of progress by fighting with everyone else?

why wouldn’t universal just bunk up with them?
This is the idea that these companies need to wrap their heads around - “downloading” will never go away - ever. Hackers are clever and will always think of a way to circumvent DRMs, and implement new more secure P2P networks. The solution is to get into bed with these downloads and make millions.
doctors may be contributing to Canadian addicts
This just in: Water is wet! Of course they are! Doctors get their hands greased by big-pharma all the time. Would you rather hear: “You’re not sleeping well because of stress generated by too much school, you should try some stress relieving techniques like yoga, or meditation” or “Take 3 of these and call me in the morning” - my next big KishCom post is (probably) going to be about doctors and pharmaceutical companies targeting the symptoms and not the problems.

NYC police claim NYC is a safe place. I claim I’m a physicist sometimes - it doesn’t mean I am. Besides - the government runs the cops (Police depts around the US were trained by the FBI).
