toronto, i was in montreal and i'm probably going back near the end of the month, just meeting up with a friend who's coming from victoria ironically enough.

Why Detroit?

What's everyone's favorite city to stay in for our cold Canadian winters?

aha, thanks Robbie.

(London Ontario to be specific, you could definitly play at Empowerment)

You guys should come to Canada... It would be fucking sweet.

Mini-StP gathering!

Welcome to StP! I'm gonna be in Montreal this summer, I'll tell you when non?

Alright cool, thanks a lot guys

Does anyone buy their weapons online? I want to get pepper spray and maybe a baton, but I can't find any good websites that have paypal. Anyone know of one?

will do

i might go to that if i can scrounge enough money to get a ticket man

Generally, for any stringed instrument, I would learn basic chords and then try jamming on them with other people. Theory is useful, but it can be deterring if it bores you into not caring about learning the instrument anymore. Easy song- St James Infirmary (just the chords). Also, google is...

Yeah, that's basically the issue.

It's funny how that works out

Ahaha, my one friend's friend got a good chunk of his skull cut off by a katana at a drug-deal-gone-bad and still managed to stab the guy afterwards! And for the yoyo- I forget which culture, but there was a yoyo-like weapon with straight razors along certain edges, so don't be putting down...

Consider the intimadation factor when someone pulls out a bottle cap snake in a fight- I'd be pretty sure they must be good with it to bring it out in the first place.:P

I agree as far as white people are more concerned with racism then many of the races being affected by it, but that's just for racism. When it comes to homophobia though, no one except the occasional moralist cares at all- rich white people or 3rd world poor people. It's accepted in most...

I'm all with you on this, I really want to start speaking in a way that reflects my morals- not that I have a huge issue with any of it, it just seems like if you're (me, in this particular example) going to preach equality, you should start speaking in an equality-friendly manner.

I'm guilty of saying "that's gay" or "queer" in a negative way, which pisses me off when I actually think about it. One of my bestfriends is gay, and he says gay, fag, queer as well, but as I said, when we actually think about it it is saddening that people will say something that relates to...

Devil's advocate time. Wouldn't it be empowering to the word to make it taboo? If the word is considered as an okay-thing to say then the deushbags who use it as a putdown would no longer be able to hurt whichever minority it offends.

Amen brother.

Welcome to StP! Latte machines are going to be the end of humanity...

What are your views on being politically correct? Specifically saying terms like "gay" "fag" and other such putdowns that may offend groups of people but not using them TO offend those groups of people.

Oh, well then there's no disagreement.

I would like to point out that there is a difference between militant anarchism and mass-slaughter as lobotomy3yes was suggesting. I'm all for taking it to the streets in the right situation, but it doesn't always solve everything and often just gives the cause a bad name.

Okay, I'm just going to take the devils advocate here. Although I agree that it would be convenient (and perhaps essential) to kill all of the people who would fuck up an anarchist society, it would contradict everything we stand for. You can't say that you have the right to choose who lives and...

If the nice people kill the oppressive people... isn't that oppression? Or was that the joke?

My friends who travel non-conventionally always have stories of being jumped while sleeping, or some other not-fun-way of waking up. I'm not sure if their exaggerating or just entirely full of shit, but to the question. While travelling, or just sleeping outside in your own city, have you had...

!Reposted! Feb 2010 Anti Olympics Convergence Fair enough, and I'm GLAD that there is stuff going on in support, don't get the wrong idea.

Explain yourselves instead of just a "nu-huh" - "YUH-HUH!" battle.

I've noticed that "fundamental" or "basic" morals they teach you in kindergarten are becoming fairly hard to come by, respect and compassion are all anarchy would really need for the basics. That's harder then you'd think!

hey, i'm 17 as well, welcome to the site and good luck with your travels!

!Reposted! Feb 2010 Anti Olympics Convergence I understand some of the reasons to protest, (i.e wasting a lot of money, a lot of homeless people getting free train tickets to anywhere far away from the olympics- with threats behind it of course, and Vancouver becoming a police state). I think...

Stratford, it's a small shitty theater tourist town, but you can make a lot of money in the summer busking and spanging which is always good.

Welcome! I'm also an Onterriblian, getting out as soon as possible. Join the Canadians on StP social group, and good luck in your travels!

Do you guys usually bring a light tent? Or is it usually more hassle then it's worth?

As far as more realistic train rider stereotypes go- which does NOT mean everyone!!!- I've found the riders I've met are extremely pretentious and standoffish at first, but if you hang out with them for a bit they warm up. Last night me and 2 friends decided to go to this hill behind our...

Well, there's a consensus here that there are going to be assholes in any scene, which- now that I think about it- is pretty obvious, no group or subculture will ever be perfect. And I agree with Dirty Rig that often times riding trains as a way of transportation (which is what it is) is...

Well, I guess there are deush bags in any scene.

That's a really fucking good idea for the internet, I never even thought about people making an effort to keep it alive after the revolution- but that is mad cool. As far as Darwinism, it's cruel- but it helps out the gene pool. I agree with you on the people trying to up teh PUNX points and...

Yes, and you do need to compare current state of affairs vs. 300 years ago. I admit there are still issues with our society, but as chompchompchompsky says, you can scream "ANARCHY" in safety. I've been interested in communal living, but I think that we would lose a lot of knowledge that we...

I guess I just had some fantasy ideal that all train hoppers would be super cool, intelligent people like they are here. Fuck.

A lot of my friends are "anarchists"- including myself- but we can never agree on anything. Which is pretty funny, seeing as how a true anarchist state would need almost a consensus on everything. (There's a statement that could cause conversation already..) I'm going to apologize if my...

When I watched the Wedding Train (if you haven't seen it, I wouldn't advise watching it, just to give you an idea, it's a doc about train riders, and the one guy gets so drunk he throws his girlfriends puppy into a fire, and then goes on to beat her), I thought, "Holy fuck, people like this...

Hey! I'm glad you joined, safe travels eh?

Sounds awesome man!

I'll admit this is really stupid, I regret posting it for the most part, I just think that the amount of time I put into should make it not considered a TOTAL troll tread... Yeah, sorry guys.

Yes, that is quite possibly the lamest tattoo I've ever seen.

That's cool man. I'm by no means Christian, but I was raised on basic Christian morals, which I've always thought were fairly reasonable. That is a great quote by the way.
