I went to the stampede chuck wagon races and they killed at least 3 horses due to horrific accidents, this was a long while ago but it was awful. Steer roping is downright tame in comparison. barbaric cultural practices indeed.

if we didn't brutally maim these animals for entertainment, they'd have no reason to even be born, and besides, they love it. so who's the real monster here?

somebody pulled a gun at a winnipeg hospital and officials wont say if its real or fake but the union for security guards is now pushing for security guards to be able to work outside the limits of reasonable force to protect hospitals. MGEU loving sucks

Rodeo people: The animals at the rodeos are safe and only get roped a few times Also rodeo people: Animals we practice tehse techniques on, for hours on end, aren't subject to any regulations so sure I see no problem spending whole days beating the poo poo out of the same cow.

Well, I mean, hypothetically, would it be better if they beat the poo poo out of several different cows?

MGEU loving sucks Manitoba Housing had a very similar issue with their most violent properties. The unionized guards refused to work unless a bunch of demands were met, so MB housing simply pawned those jobs off to private security companies. What I don't understand is why downtown buildings like that simply just lock out people who shouldn't be there. If you're not visiting someone at the hospital, you don't get to come in. The U of W campus is very much the same with "inclusivity" so they let meth heads hang out and do meth head poo poo and bikes get stolen and bathrooms get lit on fire pretty regularly but they refuse to just change the times the doors lock and have the campus keycard access only.

That's how most universities and public institutions in Russia do things. If you don't have an access pass you can't enter the building. It's very annoying if you're trying to attend an event or whatever and have to arrange an access pass ahead of time. imo the open system where anybody can enter whenever they want is much better because university events should be open to the public and people should be allowed to use libraries even if they can't get a library card for whatever reason.

I agree with the sentiment, but there's got to be a middle ground. Lock out anything that's not a path to the library, maybe? I understand it should be open to the public, but it means junkies wander around vandalizing and stealing and getting into confrontations. The millennium library in Winnipeg was in the news recently because they instituted metal detectors and this was oppressing the poor but they only did it because more confrontations in the library involved weapons. I gave up going there years ago because it's absolutely filthy, the bathrooms are a warzone and there'd be guys doing laps of the library looking for anything unattended. It's such a neat design for a building and would have been a great place to study.

The solution for that is safe injection sites, decriminalization, etc. And of course, the whole capitalism thing. Nobody wants to be a dangerous addict. By introducing post-hoc solutions that don't address the root cause, you sort of attack the public from both sides, where they're both harmed by the initial cause and by the consequence.

I don't disagree with any of it, obviously the right answer is to provide a decent quality of life for every single person, but you know that's not going to happen and in the meantime I'd like to not get stabbed or sit in hobo piss.

Oh for sure. The property owner can definitely trespass people who are being a nuisance right now, and the police can take them to somewhere help is likely to happen. If these things aren't happening someone needs to justify that, and "well we all gotta commit arson somewhere" isn't a great defense. Now we just need to figure out how to bar people from a public space without some guard immediately taking it to mean you get to kick out minorities.... So far as restricting physical access goes, I like to think that thinking grownups have already explored this question (there goes me and my optimism again) and gauged "we have to fix the bathroom occasionally" to be better than "people poo poo in the hallway cause it's locked after dark". If private security contractors say they're in danger then you hired the wrong contractors. flakeloaf has issued a correction as of 14:06 on Jul 17, 2019 |

the security measures at the millennium library haven't done anything but inconvenience people who want to go into the library, there is no actual significant increase in incidents at the library as compared to previous years and the 'security measures' are doing anything but making fragile white people feel safe because big brother police officer is checking peoples bags https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/cherry-picked-data-drove-security-increase-at-millennium-library-advocate-511852752.html quote:Millennium Library management and senior city staff deliberately exaggerated incidents of violence to justify the imposition of airport-like security screening measures at the downtown Winnipeg centre, a local advocacy group charges.

quote:"There is truth on both sides," she said. "People do feel a little safer (with the security measures in place) using the library, and people also dont feel safer because of the presence of airport-like security." Gotta make downtown Winnipeg feel more safe for the jets fans who will maybe possibly stumble over to the library once the game is over! gently caress all the others who have been using it safely for years
