Womanly advice
Re: (Rants, April 12): Too many Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»women are carbon copies of each other,
which is fine whatever makes you comfy. But would it kill you to smile, or not walk with your face immersed in a cell phone or iPod? Smile... acknowledge the person next to you... tune in to whats going on around you... relax your face, smile again, breathe... head up... be aware... you are all naturally beautiful, compassionate, goddesses!.... This makes everythinglook better, not just your cute little behind!

Left on red, right?
Welcome all you new drivers (and pedestrians) to BC. We have a very practical driving law here you should learn: If a vehicle comes to a stop at a red light and can turn left into the one way flow of traffic ifit is safe to do so, then by all means proceed. So many drivers are screwing up the way the traffic engineers set up traffic flow downtown Smithe and Thurlow, Nelson and Pacific, for example. Please, stop safely, then move along. And pedestrians, stay on the curb until the light changes. Anything else is simply foolish.

Right back at you
To the two idiots in the silver sedan at Cambie/W. 41st on Wednesday evening. I was the pedestrian crossing W. 41st that you screamed obscenities at as you made an illegal left-hand turn.Heres the thing: the vehicle two cars in front of you was ALREADY making a borderline turn on an amber light. You had no hope in hell of making that light what you did was highly illegal.Im sure I saw you turn into the nearby liquor store after you sped away. Do us all a favour: Dont procreate!

Ill help you pack
Re: , (Rants, March 29) about a dog owner fined for not having his dog on a leash.) Doing something wrong for all these years doesnt make it right. Someone has to pay the debt and this is how they collect their money. If you dont like it, do you want a hand to move? There are a lot of people who want to live here and follow the rules.

Heres a thought
The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Police Department should put out a poster of all the missing people, kind of like the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»riot posters. Anything would help.

Go run somewhere else
Here it is, Sunday morning and the beginning of the marathon season going right by our apartment, which is fine. But what really pisses me off is the Sonic 101.4 people who set up their gigantic ghetto blasts. At seven in the morning I dont want to hear Rianna blasted at us. We work at night and dont get home till three in the morning.

Enough about the Titanic
What is this absurd obsession with the Titanic? Yes it was a disaster but it was over 100 years ago. Why dwell on this one ship? And as for big disasters, what about the Harper government?
