G. Groulx: I think it's sad that there are over 150,000 homeless people in Canada. Abandoned houses or building can be fixed up and be used for the homeless. They can also be used as low income......

EvilGentleman: To me, it would depend heavily on the particulars of the location where the photo was shot. If the man in the photo was in the midst of a well-frequented public space, then public domain......

Anon: Anything done in public is public domain, and international law, as a whole, is of this mindset, both legally and socially. It's quite simple, actually. Don't want someone taking photos of it? Then don't do......

EvilGentleman: To be a true scavenger hunt, shouldn't you have to hunt scavengers? Perhaps catch a raccoon and a homeless guy in giant butterfly nets? The suggestion of pictures of hookers holding photos of antelopes is absurd.......

in response to: You\'re in Calgary When... by ksedge

EvilGentleman: Winnipeg has the same sort of inner-city interconnected retail walkway network. You can go quite a ways, even including the main branch of the city library. All quite interesting, but I can't help but notice......

in response to: Free Man? by Urbanghost (michael talbot)

Get out of your car, buddy: I'm not clear on how the wealthy people of bay street are responsible for homelessness, or are key to the solution. That is a function of social policy, which we all set, and should collectively be......

Elicar: [[http://www.nupge.ca/news_2006/n17ja06a.htm]] ##"However, the most striking point about homelessness is the misconception that people “choose” to be homeless. This is heard all the time; people saying that the “street people” make the choice to be homeless. It......

Another thought from JJ: This thought I wrote after I saw some homeless people on North Ave. In the fall of 2005 I found a man who lived in ten double lined garbage bags filled with newspapers, tossed by the West side crowds, making......

SadStateOfAffairs: Racism has many forms. It can be religiously based, as in the current JIHAD against all non-Muslims. Or it can be economically based. I agree it's not based on skin alone. Problems occur when different......
