anyone found guilty of attempting to choke someone to overcome their resistance to the commission of an indictable offence faces a maximum punishment of life in prison.
What kind of police state are they running up there? With laws like that they'll never attract the kind of high-end fraternities needed to drive world-class institutes of higher learning.
He's been released on bail, but he had to surrender his passport and agree to live with his mother.
Hmm, "ژیان جان، چی‌ کردی؟" or "ژیان جان، چی کردی؟". I report, you decide (or maybe it's just a personal browser problem).
I imagine it must take a lot of lying to be dumped by your crisis management firm.
agree to live with his mother.
Awk-ward!
I'm not sure this is totally accurate
I did it in quotes, and got "Ferocious soul, what have you done?" But I suspect that "Jian Ghomeshi" is being translated as "ferocious soul." Which, you know, is apt in a way, I guess.
Heh. It didn't even occur to me that you could use a translator. I figured Alif or Cosma would be along eventually. It's "Jian dear, what have you done?" To be read in the voice of his mother, of course. (I do feel bad for her. I think his father died earlier this year. And now this.)
Alif hasn't been around for a while, no?
She's been around since I've been back.
Dangnabit. This is hardly the same as finding out that America's beloved pudding pop pitchman has been drugging and raping women for decades, but I've always liked Jian Ghomeshi.

My friend's daughter teaches at a Title 1 school (meaning there's a high percentage of poor kids) and the school is competing for a $5,000 prize in a jingle contest, which would go a long way for them. I sort of hate this form of vote getting for such things, but would you all go vote for them anyway? H/o/f/f/m/a/n B/o/s/t/o/n E/le/m/e/n/t/a/r/y. Thanks.

Am I wrong in consigning someone to the outer reaches of oblivion for having used "y'all" in an email?
Right!
btw Josh I cannot look at that other thread it makes me physically ill, agree with everything you are saying. At some point you'd think people would step back and ask what it is they are spending the tick tock of their lives on.
But...Shepard and DuPont have the best jingle videos. Yes, I watched them all. Tick tock that, dq.
14: we're up against the "C/l/int* xian elementary" skool here. So I would urge you all to vote early and often.
I cannot look at that other thread facebook it makes me physically ill
What the hell, supposed friends?
Rock away at that particular tick tock! You, Josh and alameida (sp?) are saying it all over there, just wonder at your stamina.
Okay, so I voted for the right school even though their jingle wasn't the best. They're only narrowly ahead, so I think you should bring on the bots.
It's the honor of the godless heathens against the xtian school people! Vote!
Besides isn't h/ford faux-un-ostentatiously xtian? Revenge vote!
26: Yes, he is. As am I. But we're Episcopalians. Episcopalians never put the word Christian in the name of their school. Some sort of Saint usually, or Trinity or Epiphany.
16 and to the other thread, I've had the video of Mike Brown's mother responding to the verdict (and the world) with "Y'all KNOW y'all's wrong!" or something very close to that. It feels pretty much apt. So there's that.
22: My cousin - whom I haven't seen since 1978, and about whom I don't give a shit, but he's 1 of 6 first cousins I have, so... - finally got himself dropped from my feed. He's already shown himself a rightwing douchebag (and knowing his family history, he really should be appreciating the welfare state, that lousy POS), but the aftermath of Ferguson was too much.
28: yes, and can't elaborate more on context of email but imagine the furthest possible opposite poles of gender, race, sociological, political, class and cultural factors to Michael Brown's mother, and in an email.
30: still totally okay. I use it all the time.
From JG's serial sexual assault to kiddie jingles in 14 comments is impressive. The blog is efficient when it comes to dealing with Persian perversion.
22: WTF was that, anyway? Seemed like it came completely out of nowhere.
33: Pretty much. I assume it was a reaction to VW's thing that I shared, and the guy who posted it is unclear on all fb traditions, so he didn't put it in the comment box. I took the bait once, but boy am I not going to reply to his latest.
Persian perversion.
Truth-loving Persians do not dwell upon
…
Even if I could think of a continuation of that I don't think I'd go through with it.
34 - It was nice of him to invite you to his Christmas concert in the spirit of goodwill to men the peace which passeth all understanding Matthew 19:21 rambling about how blacks are the TRUE racists.
34: wait, what? I provoked someone to do something that made someone else upset enough to unfriend them? That seems odd, given how totally innocuous and stupid my post was. But hey, I guess that's facebook for you.
It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saginaw. I've come to look for Facebook.
But...Shepard and DuPont have the best jingle videos.
I voted for the right school even though their jingle wasn't the best.
These kids are in 5th grade. It's about time they learned that merit doesn't have much to do with popular success.
DuPont
Man, I want to go see Foxcatcher. Mark Schultz coached at BYU and I know a couple guys who trained with him when he was doing BJJ with Pedro Sauer out here.
11: That's weird. I watched Zardoz for the first time last night. I got about three minutes in before realising that I needed to be really high to appreciate it. Even high, the third act was unnecessarily slow and bonkers.
Interesting final answer - "Any regrets about Zardoz?" "Sure... I just wish I'd made that rape scene more explicit."
And... Is it just me, or did Chris Nolan / Tom Hardy copy old Friend's voice for that of Bane?
35: I suppose JG's defence could end "all arms combined magnificently together"
Nice to see Persian on the blog. And dagger aleph who I didn't know knew Persian. I'm looking forward to picking it up again as it's gotten extremely rusty and will be very useful to know in the new job. I still remember about two dozen lines from the Masnavi by heart but sadly have forgotten the truly perverse verses like the one about the use of a gourd when fucking donkeys.
The ending of zardoz copies the end of the buster Keaton movie "college"

It is darkly funny end to a romantic comedy where buster spends 40 minutes chasing the girl: "then They had an unhappy marriage and both inevitably died"
