You guys should all totally check this site out!

Like if you have a major huge crush on someone,

Fitness is measured by the ability to survive, attract mate(s), reproduce, and have your offspring survive long enough to reproduce.

So if your a retard in a wheelchair with a terminal illness, but you still somehow manage to get with a girl and have a bunch of kids then guess what, your genes have been selected!

And nobody has any right to say that it was a "mistake" that you had kids, because whatever characteristics you had that allowed you to reproduce are worthy of selection simply by virtue of the fact that you have succeded at reproduction.

Evolution isn't "meant" to make humans smarter, faster, stronger. Theres no guiding force or spirit behind evolution that humans are somehow subverting. Evolution is just what happens when certain genetic mutations contribute to a subset of a species having more reproductive success than others. Theres no such thing as "right" or "wrong" evolution.

As far as pranks go, that was pretty fucking brilliant!

I bet it was the artist who started the e-mail petition in the first place.

I'd be willing to bet that the STM cop won't even bother to show up.

He's got a case so weak he'll save himself the embarrasment.

Yo regimental I'm not really sure what point your trying to make here. Are you saying that:

A. Canadian soldiers are commiting human rights abuses in Afghanistan and shouldn't be doing so
B. Canadian soliders shouldnt be in Afghanistan regardless of whether or not they're commiting human rights abuses
or
C. Canada shouldn't have an army at all

Cause these are three very different issues and you seem to be conflating them.

A. is an issue of discipline and norms within the millitary.
B. is a political issue concerning what role the millary should play.
C. is an issue concerning the nature of a what a state is and what it needs to function.

One week to go! BLOP!

Ya can't go wrong with Twisted Bass and the Galaksy Bastard Crew!

That's ten Hindu gods for every man, woman and child in Canada!

I can't fucking beleive it but I have one exam left between now and graduating university.
I really should be studying now, but my motivation tank has hit zero.

Let's hope they actually SHOW UP this time.

Immortal Technique is the BOMB. I can't beleive I'm missing this.

FUCK.

This just in...

PLAN C will be coming in from across the border to spin in the Jungle loft!

Alongside some of Montreal's finest oldskool jungle DJ's, watch out for the DJ debut of HUMAN DISEASE who is guaranteed to make yo brains implode!

PS. Who votes for more WHIPPETS?

Hope to see all the oldskoolers in the place for this bash!

I miss mike too. We all gotta look out for each other and not let anyone slips through the cracks.

Ooooops. Sorry Stef. :P

I feel good. Nananananana.

I love the satisfaction of knowing that my KFC chicken died a slow, painful death after a life of abuse and maltreatment. It just makes the chicken taste so goddamn good.

Ps. How did the thread go from being about a possible narc to discussing KFC in only two pages? That's impressive even by [ Rave.ca ] standards!

Easy now. Montreal literally has hundrends, if not thousands, of bars. You'd have to be a true alcoholic to have been to even a small fraction of all the places in town that serve beer. Its like that Molson ad, no I don't know Sally or Dave from Canada although I'm sure they're nice people. Happy bar hunting.

Considering that theres only a "core" group of maybe 100-200 dedicated ravers in Montreal, any promoter that wants to throw bigger events needs to attract a more diverse crowd.

It would be great if promoters were able to rent out a large venue, book a superstar lineup, and have the place filled with ravers, like in T.dot before the millenium, but that isn't the reality in Montreal, nor will it ever be.

Yes, of course. Its called a telemarketing job.

Seriously.

Oh, snap.

Abuse Trails Central American Girls Into Gangs

By MARC LACEY

GUATEMALA CITY — To join one of Central America’s fierce street gangs, Benky, a tiny young woman with heavy mascara and tattoos running up and down her arms, had to have sex with a dozen or so of her homeboys one night. She recalls sobbing uncontrollably when the last young man climbed off her and everyone gathered around to congratulate her on becoming a full-fledged member of the Mara Salvatrucha.

The gang leader ordered Benky, then 14, to rob buses, grab chains off people’s necks and even kill a girl from a rival gang. She always complied, although Benky said she was not completely sure if her rival had lived or died from the bullet she fired into her back.

“I thought it would be like my family,” Benky said of her reason for joining the gang, asking that her full name not be used. “I thought I’d get the love I was missing. But they’d hit me. They ordered me around. They told me I had to rob someone or kill someone, and I did it.”

When she tried to leave the gang five years later, her fellow gang members shot her six times. The scars still visible on her body vouch for her story, as do social workers who visited her during the nine months she spent in a hospital.

Horrible as it is, Benky’s story is not unusual. Her lament is one heard from young women in gangs across the region, and in interviews many told similar tales of sexual initiation, beatings and being made to rob and kill to earn their place.

New evidence suggests that girls like Benky, most 18 or younger, may make up a larger share of Central America’s street gangs’ ranks than previously suspected, many of them straddling the line between victims and victimizers.

“There are a lot more women and girls than anyone imagined,” said Ewa Werner-Dahlin, the Swedish ambassador to Guatemala. “It’s a surprise to the experts and it shows that authorities have been reacting to gangs without really understanding them.”

Her government recently helped finance a study that included interviews with more than 1,000 past and present gang members, male and female, across Central America. It found that women might account for as much as 40 percent of the region’s gang membership. Other gang experts put the percentage lower.

The street gangs of Central America, which have spun a web of violence through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and even the United States, are estimated to have as many as 100,000 members. Among them are only a small number of girl-only gangs led by girls, experts say. Far more common was Benky’s reality — a few young women in a sea of tough, sexually charged young men.

It is abuse in their home lives that often propels them into the gangs in the first place, and those gangs often continue the abuse under the veil of protection. The gang is their adopted family, the women say, offering what proves to be an unpredictable mix of affection and aggression.

“If a girl is getting abused by her father, the gang will step in and end it,” said Gustavo Cifuentes, a streetwise former gang member with an extensive criminal record who now works for Guatemala’s government trying to lure gang members into leading better, law-abiding lives.

If the girls do not follow the directions of the leader, Mr. Cifuentes acknowledged, a beating or even worse will be the result.

Male gang members say the girls play an essential role and not just as sexual partners. They are able to move more freely on the streets when the police are around, transporting drugs or guns. And bus robberies are best done, veteran gangsters say, with a team of two males and two females, confusing passengers about who is involved.

With four jail stints behind her, Benky, now 23, is experiencing a new phase of life, but one that is proving almost as rough as all she has endured before. Her wounds have left her limping through life, selling candy on the buses she used to rob because her gang tattoos disqualify her from most other forms of employment.

Most of those who made up her gang have died in shootouts with the police, she said, but one of the few still living spotted her recently on the street and yelled out a threat on her life. He had been surprised that she had survived the attempt to kill her.

“It looks so good from the outside,” Benky said about why she had joined the gang. To understand her sentiment, it helps to know that her childhood, like those of many other girls in gangs, was grim.

She began living on the streets at the age of 6 with an older brother. She is not sure what happened to her mother, but she recalls that her father had no interest in taking care of them. Her brother was shot by a member of the 18th Street gang, which prompted her to join the other giant gang in the region, the Mara Salvatrucha, she said, looking for love and acceptance.

Benky had begun hanging around the gang and knew a few other girls who had joined. They told her that all she had to do was talk to the leader and he would induct her as well. Before she knew what was happening, though, her new family members were disrobing and lining up to have sex with her.

The abuse ebbed when she began dating a gang member and he protected her from the rest.

“He was very kind,” she said. “Sometimes, he’d go out and rob buses just to get me what I wanted.”

Other girls in gangs, who also insisted on being identified only by their first names or nicknames, also complained of lives ruined, close calls with death, and nightmares about all the awful things they did for their gangs and neighborhoods. It often begins, the girls say, with group sex, their minds usually dulled with alcohol and marijuana.

Ana, 21, who spent four years as a member of the 18th Street gang, said she was given a choice between group sex and a group beating when she joined because she was friends with the gang leader’s girlfriend. “Other girls didn’t get to choose,” she said. “I thought the beating was better. I’d have a black eye and I’d be hurt but at least I wouldn’t get pregnant or get a disease.”

Her gang days were intense ones, she recalls, full of assaults and robberies and other behavior she now regards as deviant.

“I learned to use a gun more or less but I was better with a knife,” she said.

Her gang had a separate leader for the girls, and that tough young woman one day ordered Ana to beat up a neighborhood girl whom the leader found annoying. The girl happened to be a friend of Ana, but Ana said she did what she had to do.

Another former gang member, a 17-year-old called Moncha, broke down as she described how someone in her gang had shot her friend to death. “I lost my best friend, and my own gang killed her,” she said. “That’s when I realized that if they killed her, they could kill me, too. I got tired of living this life where they might say, ‘Let’s go kill someone,’ and you had to go along.”

Ana had a somewhat easier time than others did putting her gang life behind her. Her mother was dying from cancer, and that prompted her to move back home and care for her around the clock. Her mother’s long illness allowed Ana to make a break.

Her path was a little easier than Benky’s because she never got any tattoos to identify herself as a gang member. Eschewing tattoos is becoming more and more common as Central American governments crack down on gangs with “mano dura,” or firm hand, policies, gang experts say.

At Santa Teresa prison, a sprawling detention center for women in Guatemala City, signs of both hope and despair can be found. Bianca, 24, a tough member of the 18th Street gang who is locked up on drug charges, showed off her bold gang tattoos and spoke of protecting her neighborhood. She stood on the sideline during the jailyard soccer game put on by Guatemala’s Ministry of Culture and Sports.

But another inmate, 25, who goes by the nickname Happy, said she intended to leave the gang when she finished her sentence for robbing buses. In her first years behind bars, members of the gang would come by to visit, she said. But that eventually faded. Nowadays, five years in, it is only her mother who brings her food and clothes.

“She’s family,” Happy said. “It took years but I finally learned that.”

^^ Lmao. You might just have a point there.

So, to sum up this article:

Ketamine is a dangerous, dangerous drug. It will make your insides bleed and rape your daughters. It will knock you into a coma and make you choke on your own vomit. It will steal your precious teenagers' souls and make them slaves to the K-hole. Only milligrams too much and you will be on a nightmare roller coaster trip involving date rape, molestation, destruction, despair, hell, and demise.

That's why you should only do Ketamine if you are a child who has an ouchy ouchy and needs a mild tranquiler to feel better!

Who needs free beer to do all that!

The irony of this situation is that Ethnic_Cleanser behaves in exactly the same fashion as that which he alleges Moslems practice.

According to this user, Islam oppresses people who do not share the beleifs of Islam, and hence is an intolerant religion. Whether or not this is true of all, some, or any Moslems is certainly a topic worth debating. It rests on how you read certain texts, how you interpret certain historical events, and whose actions you take as being representative of Islam.

Unfortunately, this user then goes on to suggest that anyone who holds certain beliefs (ie. is a Moslem) is therefore a legitimate target of violence and intimidiation. Dude, that's exactly what you accuse Moslems of doing. An individual is certainly not to be held responsible for every act of others of his same religious or ethnic group, otherwise it would stand to reason that every German should have been executed in responce to the intolerance of Nazism. Since the user seems to be of reasonable intellegence, it amazes me how he has not grasped this basic point.

Any individual who targets members of a group because of their beleifs is commiting a crime of hate. And any individual guilty of such crime, whether they be a Moslem or a user called Ethnic_Cleanser, deserves to face the consequences.

Happy Bday Steph!!!!!!!!!!

And to think that all this time, i thought *I* was your soulmate. Only to be upstaged by a dirty Nigerian.

HELLZ YEAH!! That video made my day. Great job mike!

Now THAT was insightful!

WTF!!!!!!!! This video merits a comment. Definetely NOT work safe.

[ youporn.com ]

This was a great party! It definetely recalled some of the best 1619 william events from '03-'04. It was good seeing lots of the oldschoolers getting their drink on, chilling in the cramped hallways, enjoying the ambience of the chill room upstairs, and busting some moves in the jungle loft. The psytrance scene was also fully represented and for most of the night it was too packed for me to even set foot insidet that cesspool, but when the sun came up and progressive psytrance was blasting through the speakers it was one of those GOLDEN party moments. Not to mention Bassic throwing down some massive tunes in the jungle loft.

Dude, you have no idea how bad things can get.

Nobody was killed. Nobody was severely injured. Both sides demonstrated appropriate restraint.

Something tells me this thread is going to go on for AT LEAST 15 pages.

4 hookers and a 16 ball!

aint Stereo mostly House?

That reminds me of the "shampoo" scene in Theres Something About Mary
