some of the posts in this thread are pretty insensitive. Three people died. Stop. Think about what that must be like for their friends and for their family before you post in a thread like this. I know ravewave is a place to fuck around, but at times its also a medium through which to show solidarity, respect and sympathy. Please show some discretion in threads where news of a death, rape or assault is being disseminated or discussed.

A few tips to keep in mind in such threads:
1) Ignore the trolls, or address them via Private Messages
2) Don't rush to judgement or speculate in rape, death or assault threads involving community members in the rave scene or urban scenes with low degrees of seperation (punk, graf, art, ska etc). Let information be released until you provide commentary or judgement
3) Read the entire thread before posting anything more than "RIP" or "sorry for your loss"

Bliss, out of respect, has requested I clean up this thread (on a side note you guys have to realize that as much as Bliss fucks around, both he and host are stand up guys when shit gets serious). However, given my history of polarizing threads, and because I don't spend as much time on this site anymore, Im giving admin priviledges of this thread to Alice.

I think that she's more than earned the respect of ravewavers and the rave scene in general, so I trust you'll respect her judgements and decisions when she bans users or deletes msgs from said thread.

Respectfully,
Gamos

Via Rail train kills 3 in Montreal
Victims may have been spraying graffiti, police say
Last Updated: Sunday, October 31, 2010 | 11:17 AM ET
CBC News

Police say three young people are dead after being struck by a Via Rail train in southwest Montreal.
Emergency workers attend to the victims at the scene of a train accident in Montreal. Three people died and two others were taken to hospital in shock.Emergency workers attend to the victims at the scene of a train accident in Montreal. Three people died and two others were taken to hospital in shock. (CBC)

The train was on its way to Montreal from Toronto when the accident occurred around 3 a.m. ET Sunday.

Police say five people, between the ages of 17 and 20, were walking next to the railway tracks and three of them were hit by the train.

Two of them were dead at the scene and one died later in hospital.

The two survivors were taken to hospital suffering from shock. Police said they hoped to interview them to find out why they were on the tracks.

Montreal police Const. Anie Lemieux said the initial investigation suggests the youths may have been spray-painting graffiti. It's believed they had parked their cars near the scene before heading to the tracks.

Lemieux said they were in an area where it would have been difficult to hear trains approaching.

"This is a pretty dangerous spot for hearing trains because you don't hear them coming as well as you should," she said. "It's possible they didn't hear the train coming fast enough to move off the tracks, so that's what investigators will be trying to understand."

When the accident occurred, passengers were taken off the Via train and bused to the nearest station. Via service later resumed.

I had the pleasure of hearing him play a couple times but never knew the guy. Its always sad when the community loses someone so dear too early. He was very refreshing to hear, with a very distinct style in both his dj-ing and producing. Definitely a pioneer within the genre rather than a "me too" DJ. He will be missed. RIP

From televised street protests to suburban shopping malls, it’s a shocking sight to see groups of ragged, longhaired hippies still prowling the American landscape. Once thought of as a temporary youth trend, these anti-societal, marijuana-loving civil liberation types have proven surprisingly resilient. Their hatred of Christian-American patriotism continues to be one of their most recognizable traits. As a new generation is indoctrinated into this lifestyle, the risk they pose to this nation’s foundation of morality is once again reaching a critical level.

The fact that a teenage fashion fad from the 1960s has survived this long is stunning. These are people who have managed to deny every positive cultural change of the last 50 years. Loathe to contribute to our domestic economy, they have long eschewed the acceptable consumerism so vital for our engines of growth despite the diversity of affordable products available to every citizen. They avoided the raw masculinity and progressive politics of the Reagan years. They turned their backs on the groundswell of Judeo-Christian faith that has dominated this country since the 80s. In post 9/11 era, they were one of the few holdouts against the flowering of pro-American nationalism so crucial in a time of terror and war. Tragically, they played the role of “useful idiots” for our enemies in Europe, the Middle East and even in China. They banged their drum circles outside the White House when President Bush planned to take down the worst dictators of the Middle East. They protested against the imprisonment of our most dangerous terrorist enemies at home and in prisons abroad. They fought against profiling and advanced interrogation techniques, they organized secret radical cells on very own soil and they have clogged countless courts with their endless attempts to derail our democracy of moral decency.

Even worse, they have lured a new generation into the tactics of perpetual protest. As martyrs, enemies and agitators, they represent the antithesis of Constitutional Americanism. They are against every tradition that has made this country great and have nothing to offer in a constructive or positive sense. They want to tear our world apart so that they may dance in the shadow of our crumbling faith. And in that darkness, hidden away from common sense and ethical living, they engage in the most vile, bestial acts. Sexual liberation leading to multiple partners, orgies, homosexuality, lesbianism, voyeurism, teen sex and chemically-fueled perversion are all part of their plan. They have perverted medical science and our legal system to such an extent that deadly street drugs like marijuana are now decriminalized and available to our children at any bus stop. They have no compunction against teaching our young to rebel and to hate, to despise Christian teachings and to avoid the responsibility we all have towards our Creator. Instead, they worship Mother Gaia and her tree faeries, witchcraft, the cult of self-indulgence, masturbation, and any form of abuse. They take great pride in spreading their foul disease to young and old alike, drawing blood oaths from the innocent or feeble-minded, anyone to grow their political numbers and push this country closer to a socialist dictatorship.



Hippies are predominantly white and they have used that unfairly to their political advantage. They appear at PTA meetings and town events pretending to represent normal society. They avoid police stops on our roads by tucking their long hair back into their shirts and driving moderately, no matter what incredible amounts of mind-bending psychotropics they have just ingested. Under the radar of sturdy Americanism, they live out a prolonged adolescence where the they chase a nightmarish list of kicks: marijuana, hashish, LSD, heroin, magic mushrooms, ice, nitrous oxide, crystal meth, Oxycotton, opium, Nexus, MDMA, GHB, mescaline and more. Spending all their time in this balmy, criminal world, they know nothing of hard work. Instead, the adult hippie will resolve every complex life dilemma with a bong hit. Whether it’s at music concerts, watching television shows or even on the internet, they float by in a perpetual “purple” haze seeking highs from nudity and corporeal violation, profanity and slovenliness, entirely divorced from manliness and decency.

As a group, they are the chief proponents of public nudism in this country. Possibly due to their immense consumption of psychedelics, they take great pride in showing off their unathletic, unshaven bodies at beaches, camps and even in our village squares. Why must they flaunt all that shamelessness and frighten the goodly amongst us? It is horrifically terrifying. So many beaches have become off limits to Christian families because of their flamboyant displays of debaucherous flesh, carnal and curvy, tan lines nonexistent. Some live on farms and communes, engaging in political hostility and backward agrarianism. Others inhabit old vans and school buses, stealing water from public hydrants and luring school kids into all night drug parties. They constantly cruise the internet looking for a thrilling marijuana “score” and maybe a fluid-drenched intergeneration erotic encounter in some disused graveyard. Simply put, they will take any opportunity to fester like a sore on the underbelly of our wholesomeness.

On a personal level, a hippie can be defined as a person who will abuse drugs until the day he or she dies, irregardless of health issues or pleas from their children. They wear loose, used clothing and grow their hair unnecessarily long. Both males and females adorn themselves with colorful, cheap jewelry and avoid precious metals like gold or diamonds. Their appearance is wholly unkempt and they mask their unwashed bodily odors with patchouli oil, incense or other fragrances. Eastern religion is something hippies often try, but usually hold very little allegiance to. They will pretend to be a Buddhist Monk or a Zen Master for they love the arrogant titles, as well as the trinkets and idols crammed onto their bookshelves. The time required to study these foreign rituals, however, usually proves too trying on their limited patience. True faith frightens them beyond belief and usually pushes them to light up another marijuana joint.



Having little access to top tier educations, hippies turn to music as an avenue for the pretense of intellectualism and culture. They will take great delight in speaking of concerts or even attending them, though their range of performers is quite limited and rarely goes beyond the bands The Grateful Dead and The Phish. When they discuss these two bands, they will invoke grandiose tones as if they’re touring the Louvre or witnessing a Puccini opera. Drugs are an essential component to enjoying this sort of music, for it contains very few discernable lyrics and enjoyable beats. Rather, it is like an improvised jazz solo with the lowest quality acoustical instruments pumped through a sound system purchased at a toy store. There are screams and shrieks and depressing sessions of drum beatings that never seem to end.

The Grateful Dead is notorious for the intense availability of every drug known to mankind at their concerts. Young people tempted into this illicit world rarely return unharmed. Entering into these events, one is assaulted by sexual and psychedelic demands that push you into naked frenzies and hours-long blackouts. The music itself is harsh and overwhelming, crafted to outrage our most basic moral instincts. It celebrates an elite form of hedonism so sickening that one imagines the deepest pits of hell couldn’t possibly be more terrifying. Children have long been cursed into lifelong spirals of wanton sexuality and extreme political fanaticism after being exposed to this sort of experience.

The Phish play for a younger, more innocent crowd less concerned about social activism and more preoccupied with a sarcastic disdain for conformity. The songs revolve around the absurd, yet still force the simpleminded to celebrate self-indulgence and radical consumerism. For fans of The Phish, life is about expressing an identity through purchasing “green” products and watching adult cartoons. They will abuse drugs and frustrate their parents, but never enough to land in jail or lose their allowances (even into adulthood). Masturbation and LSD are also shockingly common in this crowd. For your average Phish concert-goer, it’s not uncommon for them to awake in odd circumstances (at the side of a road, wallet emptied and their body covered in bruises, for example) with no recollection of what transpired the night before. This cycle of amnesia is what keeps them coming back for more shows as they try to figure out what they could have possibly done to themselves.




I have written about the youth trend of “hipsters” in the past and it’s important to realize that hippies are somewhat different. Hipsters, while also predominantly Caucasian, tend to come from more affluent backgrounds and their sophistication shows. The hipster rebels against wealth and power by slumming in urban, ethnic ghettoes. They use family money to create farcical careers as unpublished authors or fashion designers. They tend to be far more sexual and consequently likelier carriers of herpes and genital warts. Hipsters fetishize clothes above drugs, while for hippies it’s the opposite. There are far more homosexuals in the hipster demographic, for the hippie does not enjoy expensive hair products and tight clothing. Hippies are more often overweight and unappealing physically, as hipsters use more cocaine and cigarettes than their peers and remain lithe and active. Both groups are unnecessary distractions for children and should be avoided with a concerted, parental effort.

In conclusion, it’s clear that the hippie lifestyle is little more than cover for middle class drug abuse. Unfortunately, the feeble minds of these addicts have been co-opted by unscrupulous political operatives to support a dangerous socialist agenda. For this reason, they pose a threat to the beauty and humanity of the Christian faith in America today. These are people bent on blackmailing decent society to pay for their worst indulgences, from the public nudity to the parade of narcotics pumping through their veins. They want to lure the youth generation and the generation after that into a culture of persistent abuse and failure. They are a plague that is spreading, infecting the organs one by one and crippling the most wondrous of our children with a lifetime habit of “free love” socialist emasculated experimentation. They are destroying Christianity and subjugating the faithful. What will this world be without the vital righteous leadership of the United States? What hell awaits a decade or two away if these sorts of people keep on keeping on? How can we risk all the tremendous gains we have made as a people humble before our Great God if these sickening creatures are allowed to prey on children, to slither down our streets, to congregate on our town squares, naked and high? America, today I ask you to wise up and make sure we don’t take this risk!

We coulda won that game had we had a full lineup or Spacek knew how to do a god damn 180 and deflect the frickin puck when he can see a guy speeding his way.

BTW Gamos, did you see Ivannans get the lights out yesterday? Holy shit what knock out by Big Mac jeez.


I think Price is a franchise goalie (as is halak), and I actually think Price also has exceptional composure, bounce-back ability and consistency. He just lacked maturity. And I think giving a kid who lacks maturity the keys to castle of the most storied franchise was stupid on behalf of Gainey. It goes to ur head, and you can't handle the pressure when things start to go bad because you're scared of how bad things can get and you don't know what do when things start to go bad. Losing the starting position to Halak, even if only for 2 months, was the best thing that could have happened to his career. The way he carried himself through the playoff run and the contract negotiations illustrated that he's finally maturing to the point where he's capable of handling the role of #1 goalie in montreal.

No i turned the game off before Ivananus got fucked up...they played terrible against Edmonton.

THe flames are gonna be an interesting team. They have the best 3rd and 4th line in the league IMO, but have 4 injuries to top 9 forwards up front right now so they actually looks like they lack depth. If they can play .500 hockey til mid-November ill be happy

I will go as so far to suggest 4 instances where ipad type devices will be useful:
1) Meetings and Seminars
2) Presentations
3) Reading
4) Service level employees - food service, hospitality, retail

Thats it. All of that is enterprise related. People who work go to meetings, make presentations and read lots. People who work in retail aren't in it for the fun.

Outside of that, its of limited use, and you can do what you want to do far better with a smartphone or laptop.

Obviously some people will buy this device, even though its far less convenient. But those people are idiots. And for the record, I think a lot of people are idiots, assholes and degenerates.

the blackberry tablet is too small to do anything useful with comfortably. The Ipad is too big to be portable. Tablets will be good for consumers when they will small enough for everyday carry and have a screen that expands enuf to make them enjoyable to do things on.

Tablets are going to be a waste of money except for businesses who can actually use them to cut down on paper where I've seen cost savings estimates on the tune of .5-5k per year when used for paperless meetings and briefings.


Honestly...if Im gonna carry a tablet around, I might as well just carry my laptop around. The only people you're gonna see buying tablets for personal consumption these days are those that are sheep and easily brainwashed by our consumerist society.

Vincent Parker, a 26-year-old who began organizing raves eight years ago, agreed the rave scene has changed a lot over the past decade.

In the late 1990s, Parker said, while the drug ecstasy was widespread at raves, the parties had a community vibe with little violence.

"It used to be something for dancing," he said. "But it was co-opted a long time ago by a bunch of people who are more interested in the druggie element. ... It's been driven by hard-drug use for a while."

Parker said raves are increasing organized by "sketchy" people "who aren't necessarily doing it for the right reasons."

As well, he said, the rave scene has moved out of the cities to smaller towns and rural areas where there's less police oversight.

Parker said he and his friends have long left raves behind and are interested now in promoting concerts for bands.

CALGARY -- Cops shut down a huge rave in northwest Calgary late Saturday after paramedics treated nine people, two of them hospitalized, who overdosed on drugs.

Up to 25 cop units were called to the event -- named Subculture, featuring national and international DJs -- shortly before midnight after they received calls the rave of 2,500 people was getting out of hand, with complaints of excessive noise, fights and drug overdoses.

Insp. Rob Williams said police asked for the event to be shut down because of concerns of public safety and over capacity, which is still under investigation.

"They were out of control -- they were drunk, high on drugs, rowdy," he said, adding it's believed the ill ravers took too much ecstasy.

Williams said tending to the party put a strain on cop resources, tying up 25 units not available for the rest of Calgary.

"It's concerning because it depleted the strength throughout the city," he said.

Brian Kennedy, operations manager of Aaron Paramedical Services, hired for the $30-$40 a ticket event, said nine people with symptoms of illicit drug use -- experiencing difficulty breathing and altered levels of consciousness -- were removed and treated on scene.

Calgary paramedics took two men in their early 20s to hospital in non-life-threatening condition, said Alberta Health Services EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux.

As workers cleaned up equipment at Symons Valley Ranch on Sunday, where empty beer cups, confetti and glowsticks littered the ground, Jeremy Bridge released a statement on behalf of PK Event Services Inc. saying they produced the show "with all aspects of public safety in mind."

Sixty-five staff were hired, including security, and shuttle bus drivers for the event, scheduled to end at 2 a.m.

"PK Event Services does not condone the use of illegal substances, and ensured that our security team conducted thorough pat-downs and bag searches to address these kinds of issues," Bridge said.

"Despite these efforts, we acknowledge it is impossible to control what individuals do before they enter an event, or what choices people make -- the same can be said for any concert, bar, club or special event."

Attendee Scott Lalonde, 19, said he was upset police shut down a show that in his eyes did not include violence.

"A few people were being treated by EMS -- I can understand if someone got shot but no one was seriously harmed," he said.

He said a few bad choices by a few should not have meant shutting down the entire event and ruining the night for everyone.

"If drugs are going around that is people's responsibility, it should not have fallen on the other thousand people," he said.

"I wasn't there doing drugs -- I was there celebrating my birthday."

No one was arrested.


This was a licensed and legal event btw. I think I'm starting to believe Noah. The police are trying to manufacture outrage against the electronic dance scene so they can start cracking down on it.
