comment on CNN.com

I was just reading an article on CNN.com about the Taliban insurgency in Pakistan and found the following comment, regarding the Taliban:

These pigs kill everything in sight without any remorse for their victims who include innocent women and children. These animals should be hunted down by the WORLD and exterminated to include their wives, children, dogs, rats, and cats to ensure they are totally gone.

Granted, the Taliban needs to be dealt with. But it is comments like these that made me such a staunch anti-American for many years. Genocide is never the solution to a problem. Taliban or not.

ION Magazine’s 6 year anniversary party

ION is having their 6th anniversary party this Saturday. It should be pretty incredible — their parties are always awesome. It’s cool to see how much the magazine has grown and evolved over the years. It’s one of the few truly fashionable street magazines in Vancouver, and just seems to be getting better every year. This year promises to be their best ever after undergoing a redesign and expanding their staff to include some of the best creative talent Vancouver has to offer (Kris Krug, Toyo Tsuchiya, Tyler Quarles, etc.).

Anyways, the party’s on Saturday at 180 East 2nd. You can buy tickets online at http://ionsix.eventbrite.com/for $12. Check out ION’s website at www.ionmagazine.ca(you can view PDF’s of their past issue’s online).
