Two things about freedom of speech... First: freedom of speech does not imply freedom from consequences of your speech (although those consequences are also subject to the law). Legal consequences are not censorship. Second: the right to freedom of speech does not imply any right to be listened to or published. Declining to publish or give a platform to someone else's speech, for whatever reason, is not censorship. These things often get lost whenever free speech comes up. When a corporate bigwig says something objectionable and finds that his company is subject to a publicity disaster and that the result of this is that his resignation becomes necessary, people yell about censorship - but that's just consequences. When a student body (or part of it) objects strenuously to being addressed by a person whose views they disagree with, that might be both contemptible closed-mindedness on their part and a contemptible lack of balls on the part of the schools that kowtow to it... but it isn't censorship. As for Charlie Hebdo... they may have been objectionable, and they may have frequently broken the unwritten golden rule of satire (punch up, not down), but the massacre at their office has simply illustrated the feeble-mindedness of a couple of thin-skinned murderers.

Joking about drugging and raping real people is hardly the same as political and social satire... being subject to a discipline hearing under the code of conduct of a university is not the same as being shot at your desk as you work or for that matter being flogged by the King... this is not about the veracity of the debate it is not about burning books it is about it is about terrorist and murder and being accountable for your own behavior.... we can have free speech but it comes with responsibly and accountability.

I thought I had addressed that with my first post in this thread. The short version: the events in France are primarily about the rule of law and the repudiation of murder as a recourse when offended or trying to control the behaviour of others. That the trigger was the expression of an idea is important, and also worth discussing, but secondary. It's because I value the rule of law that I'm Charlie, not because I think all speech at all times is sacrosanct. Re. Dalhousie: the hateful expressions by the male dental students were ugly and miserable but legal, otherwise we'd be talking about jail or fines for the offenders. Nobody is calling for jail or fines. But the students were in violation of some additional standards to which they were were subject: the codes of conduct of the university itself, and the professional standards of various Colleges of Dental Surgeons. It's under those standards that the students are being assessed. Violating the former has several possible penalties, including expulsion. Violating the latter has several possible penalties, including being denied the privilege of practicing in that College's province. The students knew these risks when they engaged in their behaviour, although they seem foolishly to never have considered that they might be found out and judged for their actions. Now, I think, they know better.

The worst smell: Bill C-36

You really have to be kidding... you are comparing a group of men being held accountable by a University to a Code of Student Conduct (which they agreed to when they enrolled) and potentially being held accountable by the professional licensing bodies of their chosen profession with people standing in unison worldwide to say that free speech issues should never be settled through terrorist attacks and murder. Comparing murders with administrative punishment is just plain unbelievable in my opinion. We certainly can all debate if the satirical cartoons were in good taste or appropriate... we can even pursue recourse though any administrative means that might exist but no its not alright with to fire bomb or shoot people we disagree with.

This was from January 8th, I have been cleared by my physician after my very long time away healing/recovering from surgery that I have been putting off for too long but I'm strong, healthy and doing very well. I'm oh so ready to make 2015 one memorable year! It's great to be back and I am looking forward to some amazing times! Hugs, Lexy

It's not about "being qualified for that niche". It's all about showing support!

Hi everyone I am currently touring in Maritime , I came before Christmas and I really enjoy my time with eastern gentlemen :) But I would like to share one of disappointment about something . I am touring often and for years now & it never been a major problem ... And I been really disappointed about my current trip in Moncton . I hear in the past people are not reliable here but I decide to give a chance and try it , what I did this weekend. I am really disappointed because I took my time to book gentlemens who request an appointment . After we all confirm and give my hotel they never show up .. Not One , all of them for both day I was here .. My only word I want say please if you book an appointment and you cannot make it please just let me now or just don't book, I rather prefer to know you can't make it , then getting ready for nothing or maybe missed another appointment . My time is valuable as yours... Have a wonderful week everyone and thank you for the gentleman respect ours appointment in Fredericton it much appreciate I had wonderful time as usual xoxo Maxime

If one of the female students targeted by the Dalhousie "gentlemen" had pulled out a gun and shot those men in response to their writings would that be ok? It's a matter of perspective. Some people obviously think mocking a religious leader is as abhorrent an act as killing a cartoonist. I think we should fight pen and paper with like weapons. Not with gun and bullets. Therefore the Dalhousie students are getting off easy (the hearing won't be completed til after grad) and the cartoonists got completely fucked over. My personal opinion.

Looking for your very own tropical experience? Step into my HOT SPA and have a small taste of paradise! Relaxation begins the moment we set our eyes on each other. The Cuban sun has left his kiss on my skin, golden and soft. I maintain my mini spa with a warm environment, nice décor, cold and hot beverages (try my Hot Yoga Tea!) Always fresh and clean with delicate aroma to enhance your experience. Light background music to set the pace. Why do I call it a Hot Spa Experience? First we begin with some nice chats, taking time to enjoy each others conversation. Perhaps a Hot Yoga Tea, specialty tea to send warmth all throughout your body. Lay on my table, and I will use my hot stones from top to bottom. Warmth that penetrates down deep. Then strategically placed to unblock pent up energy. We can change rooms into a relaxing lounge area, and learn more about each others mind, body and soul. Complete this with a hot and steamy shower in my walk in shower. This is a 90 min session. To learn more about me and my services please view my website. This is assist you in making any informed booking. http://www.ladysophiaclassic.com/ 506 261 7313 My hours: Monday- Friday 9am-430pm occasionally evening session for 45 min massage only. New Cuba album is in the process of being edited, stay tuned!

"The Best" is ALWAYS subjective. It's just like beauty, it's in the eye or experience of the beholder.

No kissing feels weird except if it's a massage session. I'm definitely a kisser and a damn good one too! lol No kissing to me or a kiss on the cheek upon greeting is like someone letting you have only one potato chip and not another. So I'm sending my intention out to the universe to all the kissers... until then.

So sorry that happened to you and those who did it should be ashamed of themselves. They are going to burn their own bridges. Any guy who does this is an immature thoughtless douche bag, but that's just my opinion. This is why some don't tour and certainly why some don't go to some cities. Sometimes cancellations can be understood, as things can happen, but to not show up or call is just thoughtless!

I have let Jess know that if her photos turn out to be fake (reported to me as a first hand experience with her) she will be banned for life from here. Just so everyone knows, if you show up and her photos are fake just turn around and leave and let us know. Don't "SETTLE" and give anyone money for time if you are bait and switched. If this happens enough they will stop or leave the business.

I swear by my Surface Pro, I was given it as a birthday gift last year and absolutely love the machine. (If he is reading this THANKS!) It is definitely my first choice now though I use the keyboard a lot and wouldn't use it as just a tablet. I do like that I have options with it though. Recently I was in a 3 day seminar, over 12hrs of lectures every day and taking notes was quite tiring. I loved that I could switch it up, typing for a few hours, using the stylus to hand write notes and for the few lecturers that would allow it recording the session. If I was handwriting 36hrs of notes on a weekend I would have been icing my hand by Monday morning.

The protein should never be an issue if you are eating properly but many people do not. Many people are consume more protein than their body requires. Still being vegetarian or vegan it isn't a lifestyle I expect everyone to switch to but yes it is quite healthy, I think one just has to look at the changes in Clinton to see what it can do for ones heart. Really I mentioned it because in going vegetarian/vegan it taught me a lot of healthy habits that I think others can incorporate in their life simply by checking labels, being aware of what their body needs and how they consume it and making better choices when snacking. :) Oh and as for Raw, while I know people that say they are doing quite well on a raw diet I am not a supporter of eating 100% raw. Cooking food helps to break down cell walls and can often increase the amount of nutrients available to us. Still like everything I believe it should all be in moderation, eat some raw, eat some cooked, eat some brownies or drink wine once in awhile. You can find some benefit in most everything if you look for it and don't over do it.

Windows Surface Pro 2 or the new Surface Pro 3 are great machines.. replace the need for Ipad... Laptop or Desktop. Would currently be my first choice in machine. Sent from my Passport using Tapatalk

Charlie lampooned everyone, politicians, the Pope, celebrities. So why was it not a Catholic who shot them? Why was it not Angela Merkel? Tom Cruise? Some of us accept our shortcomings and can laugh at ourselves. Others are so insecure and filled with self loathing their only reply is violence.

But what's the principle we're expressing by saying "Je suis Charlie"? a) "All speech must be allowed in all circumstances without consequence." b) "No matter how dire your grievance may seem to you, you don't get to murder people over it." Rex is drawing conclusion a) and complaining that people haven't been following that principle across the board in the past. But I think Rex is wrong and I think a) is wrong (for reasons I've already explained). I think the principle at play here is b). And if we're talking about b), then I agree... 365 days a year.

I recently had a former client friend-request me on my personal Facebook because we had a mutual friend. I found it highly inappropriate and somewhat disturbing. I promptly blocked him and it is safe to say I would no longer be comfortable seeing him as a client, were he to contact me again. If you see a lady outside of the workplace, whether it be in person or on social media, pretend you didn't. It is a game we all play for the sake of discretion. I have no illusions as to how private, or public my identity may be, but as members of this community, I think we can all agree to be cordial and limit our interactions to the hobby space, unless both parties indicate otherwise. That said, there are circumstances where relationships formed in the hobby can migrate into the rest of our lives. If you and your client/lady maintain contact outside of the hobby, it is up to you how to handle chance meetings etc. But if you only connect with your lady/client for the purposes of hobbying, then take care not to make any assumptions, no matter how friendly your client/lady may be during appointments.

Hi guys, I TOFTT last week end with Lilly from Moncton/Riverveiw. After a few tentalizing messages form Lilly, we set up an early app. for Saturday morning. The morning after, no show and no answer to my texts. Finally, she answered back a couple of hours latter saying she was sorry and that she had overslept. She offered me to come to see her at her Grand parents's place! (First clue) Suposedly they were out west and she was taking care of the house. When I got to the house, I notice a lot of shoes at the entrance! (second clue). She invited me in a small room in the basement of the house. It was full of dolls!!!! (Third clue) (WTF???) BTW, her pictures are definitly not new. She carry an extra 50 to 75 lbs over and above what she looks like on her pics!!! (forth clue) I then gave her the agreed rate and sat on the bed. She asked me if I wanted a massage and I said ok. I then proceed to take of my watch and shirt then she freaked out. She told me that she was with the police (???) and that I should leave imediatly or she would call them. She then said that she would call her boyfried. I asked for for my money back, but she refused. Not knowing if there was anybody else in the house, I was now feeling that that my security could be in jeodardy. So I left immediatly. She is a thief , a crook and a con artist! Be very carefull guys.

I have an iPad. I haven't had any issues with it and it syncs with my Macbook and iPhone.

gangrene ..... worst smell from my nursing days ...

The violence is over. They lie apart, They are shapes belonging to no-one or could be Part of an abstract painting or figure sliding Upon a Dali sea. But they are breathing fast still as if they'd been running, Man and woman, carried by a wind blowing Out of an open window. Here is passion Appeased, here is pleasure Exulted in. And here Is possible creation. Here could be Adam and Eve, turning away ashamed. Here is loss waiting to be redeemed. -Elizabeth Jennings Some time ago one of my companions gave me a book of poetry, I thought I would share a few of my favorites from that book. I hope you enjoy them as I believe that it provides a little insight into the kind of person I am and whom it is that you will be spending time with should you choose to meet me. I have always believed it's important to know a little about each other if we are going to spend some time together, it is what makes a connection genuine and being able to relax and genuinely enjoy your company is naturally a priority for me. If you think we would enjoy a glass of wine, turning the lights down, the music on and stretching out on a nice duvet to forget about the world and it's demands for a few hours, indulging mind and body as a playful escape send me a message and I will gladly make all the arrangements. I am in Ottawa this week, from the evening of January 14 until January 16. In addition I am available in Toronto for most of January and early February and would prefer to meet with someone that enjoys a quality encounter over a string of mediocre engagements. I look forward to meeting you! [email protected] http://www.ABenePlacito.com

It's surprising how nice and how good a workout you can get from simply snowshoeing. Never tried snowmobiling and cross country skinning though, especially the latter! lol..

Layah Lee LeRoux Fun-Sized Temporary Girlfriend Sometimes boys just wanna have fun and who better to call than me? I offer a stress free, relaxed and laid back experience.

She can make you laugh too! She has a sharp wit and a wicked sense of humor. No, it's not some new interactive website or latest breakthrough in robotics. It's me!

Don't ask how I know what a few of these actually smell like, usually the story behind the smell is unpleasant. Fermented pig shit! Decomposed carcasses that have been baking in a barn for half a summer! Hamburger that was left out for a weekend! My grandfather's cheesy feet! Uber gross.

I too am a fan of snowmobiles. I grew up riding them every winter. I also love cross country skinning although I end up on my butt more than upright. Skating is also a favorite and I agree Serena, outdoors is much nicer than in an arena. But just a nice long walk in a park somewhere is also nice on a sunny winters day.

Sorry this happened to you Maxime. I'm embarrassed to be living in this city sometimes. There's no excuse for that behaviour. Not only do they hurt themselves, but they're ruining things for the "good" folks. I don't blame ladies for avoiding my city. I'm sure the other towns will treat you well. :)

I think that's the only reason for censorship: hatred and fear of what someone has to say, and the root cause of that is generally the censor's own insecurity and lack of counter-argument. And yeah... book burning does lie down that road. Those who are confident in their own beliefs and arguments are usually very happy to be challenged and to take on any opponents that appear. They understand that this is the only way to make your own arguments stronger. And, ultimately, there is acceptance of a fundamental fact: if you seek to convince other people that you're right, you must also be prepared to be convinced that you're wrong, and to change your position accordingly. Unfortunately we all tie our own sense of self-worth up with our opinions to some extent, and so this can be very hard indeed...

To show you are serious, and will not cancel at the last minute (48 hours or less) or no-show, you could send a small deposit as an incentive if the lady agrees to travel. ... And when I say "you", I'm not talking about you specifically ;)

i bloody well hate the smell of cinnamon ! when ppl dont clean they're equipment [ football, hockey ] . sewer gas smokers , especially the ones that try to cover the smell with too much perfume . curry

I think there's a big difference between an unpopular opinion and a forbidden one. You can have freedom of speech. But media outlets are under no obligation to broadcast your opinion. Universities are under no obligation to host you and give you an audience. Other individuals are no obligation to listen to you ramble. A lot of people with unpopular outlooks will try to make it seem as though their freedom of expression is under attack as a method of either avoiding realizing how unpopular their opinion is, or as a method of trying to rally support for their opinion by trying to ride the coat tails of a more popular belief. And people picking their priorities doesn't have anything to do with rights. If popularity is more important to you than asserting your opinion, you will choose not to voice any unpopular opinions you may have. That doesn't mean freedom of speech isn't available to you, you just chose popularity over honesty/integrity, that's all.

Have I mentioned that I like Shay?? :)

Now her name is Amber.

Moi, je suis Charlie aussi. I don't think there's any doubt we can all climb on board that statement, since people should be able to write or say or draw absolutely anything they want without fear of being murdered by someone they've offended. We can all say "je suis Charlie" with pride and determination to stand up for that principle. On the other hand, freedom of speech doesn't mean you must be able to say anything you want and be utterly free of consequence. If you're a fast food company in the U.S. and you make statements against marriage equality and put money behind efforts to suppress it, you can't sputter with indignation when some of your customers choose to walk away. Similarly, a lot of what Charlie Hebdo has published in the past looks pretty awful and tasteless to me. As many commenters are noting today as they examine Charlie Hebdo's back-catalog, the magazine had an inclination to take swipes at powerless minorities, when the usual targets for the weapons of satire are those too comfortable in their positions of power and privilege. But they seemed within the limits of French law, and if anyone disagreed then they could choose to bring a case. Some laws mandate that some kinds of speech should be outright curtailed in the public interest. You can't be a Holocaust Denier in Canada for example, or try to hold certain kinds of rallies in Germany, without facing legal consequences. Same thing for the Dalhousie students; you don't get to say anything you want, no matter how hateful, without accepting the consequences for the environment you have created, how you may have violated the standards required by your university, or for showing that you can't meet expectations of your future professional organizations. But any repercussions must be legal, and follow a process, and they most certainly can't involve being gunned down in your office. So even if some of what they published was dumb, ugly garbage, it's for the preservation of the rule of law that we should all stand beside Charlie Hebdo and against terror. Few things have made me smile wider than the huge crowd in France on the night of the shootings, with a big illuminated sign "NOT AFRAID".

"Ladies" who stalk your ads and website and steal everything you have created...

As much as we'd love to see you, it's a social event and we all mingle together. The good news is, everyone is in the same boat and you get to meet us all face to face. We need to do anonymous speed dating lol

Let's make sure this happens....

I'm finding this season is noticeably better than any other season since the first one. Subplots don't drag on, they're resolved within a few episodes and we move on. And the characters have all adapted to their circumstances and now do things smartly and capably. The current bounce between three groups is keeping things fresh and suspenseful; I approve. Also, let's take a moment to record what we know about dealing with zombies, in order to aid anyone in the future confronting a zombie apocalypse: remember, to kill a zombie you must attack its .....
