Went to my old facebook account to get rid of it.
You cannot delete it. You can only deactivate it. And it specifically states people can still send messages to your account , look at photo's etc etc.
In my case there's nothing on facebook but a few rants about what a horrible violation of privacy it is. But other people who may have posted something... there's no removing it ..
(edit)
Delete Facebook
A google search turned this up. It doesn't show if you search facebook or look for an option , but google found it.
It seems facebook doesnt' want to get rid of those embaraassing photo's of you getting drunk and piddling on the cop car just before they arrested you. Isn't that just so irritating ?

Turn over Facebook history, judge orders
Article
Rosemary Carter is fighting Herbert Connors for damages after the two were involved in a collision in the northern New Brunswick community five years ago.
"Incidentally, it must not be forgotten that this legal action was commenced by the plaintiff and in launching it she has implicitly accepted certain intrusions into what otherwise might be private information, the disclosure of which would ordinarily be left to her own personal judgment."
So , you got into a car accident, you're sueing the guy who hit you , his lawyer demands you turn over your face book account, and it's legal.
Nice. Feel like sueing someone ? Hope you don't have a face book account. Feel like looking for a job ? Collecting insurance , anything at all almost with any large organization ? They want to look at your face book account.
Give me six sentences from an innocent man and I will hang him , as the Riechlieu quote goes. Give them your face book account and it wont stop there.

Assumed Sale Technique
Toronto telemarketing firm fined $15M for scam
DataCom telemarketers succeeded in the scam by using an "assumed sale" technique. They implied that the business had ordered a directory listing in the past and it had been authorized by someone in the company. Telemarketers would then use aggressive collection tactics to ensure payment. The targeted firms were usually duped out of $200 to $500.
This is actually how most collection agencies work.
You get in trouble with some company , usually because they're ripping you off, and they don't argue with you. They just send you to the collection agency. Now the collection agencie has no records to check anyones story so they just assume you're guilty as charged, and demand payment.
The really sleezy one is when my wife went through bankruptcy , and the collection agencies ignored that and still harrassed her about it and demanded payments.
And when she refused ? They sold her debt to another collection agency and it started all over again. Around and around and around.

Mom takes on Rogers policy
Mom takes on Rogers policy
A Coquitlam mother of three text-happy teenagers is angry with her cellphone provider for altering their contract, but Rogers Wireless said the customer was given advance warning that some terms of their agreement would change.
.
.
.
"It’s wrong for Rogers to be able to change anything they want,” she said. “I want them to honour our original deal. I have no control over who texts my children.”
A spokesperson for Rogers said they notified customers in June 2009 that their contracts would be changing.
Edward Bukszar, a Simon Fraser University business professor, said the move is legal but risky for Rogers.
“You always risk alienating customers when you change things like this regardless of the strategy they put behind it,” Bukszar said. “Customers feel distanced from a company they’re expected to be loyal to.”
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Non-Contract Contract.
That would be the part where you're stuck with a two year contract and they can change the terms any time they like and there's nothing you can do about it. Giving notice that they're about to rip you off doesn't help if you don't get the opportunity to cancel , etc etc.
The day of signing contracts is over, if you ask me. Since you're bound by them and the other party is not , and you gotta know this has legs and is going to spread, there is no point to it. It's now become another form of advertising. Reel them in with a great deal then hit them hard with a fee hike afterwards.
I will sign nothing with Rogers anymore. Or bell, but thats another matter.

Rights groups Think Taliban just peachy, continue to Bash Westerners
Rights groups add to call for Afghan torture inquiry
OTTAWA – Canada has put at risk every Afghan prisoner it has transferred over the past eight years, the head of Amnesty International said today.
What about the all the people the Taliban were busy murdering , do they count for anything ?
At that time, prisoners were being handed over to U.S. forces in Afghanistan, despite the likelihood of further transfers on to Guantanamo Bay in addition to the "strong risk of torture and ill-treatment" at U.S. detention centres in Afghanistan, Amnesty states.
What about the Taliban throwing acid on school girls faces because they dared to attend school ? What about how they continue to this day to terrorize and close schools, murdering teachers and students alike ?
"We highlighted that given the prevalence and systematic nature of torture in Afghan prisons, such transfers were prohibited under international law," the open letter states.
Why is it Amnesty International only goes after western nations , never anyone else ? If I was a betting man , I'd say "follow the money" , who's benifiting this ? And that puts Amnesty in the pocket of every third world dictatorship on the planet.
Why don't you go after them for a change ?
The deafening silence of your response is answer enough , I think.

Insurers using Facebook to investigate claimants
Article
Canadian insurance firm Manulife has reportedly cut a depressed woman’s benefits because photos showing her happy were posted on Facebook.
The woman, Nathalie Blanchard, said she cannot understand how Manulife was able to access her account because she had adjusted her privacy settings so that only friends could see her posts, said CBC News.
Smile for the birdy ! Thank you. Kiss your insurance goodbye.
Manulife has confirmed to CBC News that it uses Facebook to investigate clients.
But it said, "We would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook."
Facebook has already proved its use to human resource departments wanting to investigate potential new staff. Senior managers have also been found to use Facebook to check up on employees.
According to Facebook's current privacy policy, the social networking site will share information to prevent fraud or other illegal activity.
"This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, courts or other government entities," says the policy.
We sell your facebook info to anyone and the dog. They get to see your pictures , your video's , anything marked private , anything at all !
So what can you do on face book ? You can talk shop. You cannot talk politics or religion, you can talk about a game you play. Thats about it.

What Happens When You Pay The Ransom
Spain calls for pirate blockade
She also called for the international community to track ransom payments made to Somali pirates by shipping firms through intermediaries.
Somali pirates are currently holding 36 Spanish fishermen hostage on a trawler.
The pirates say they will not release any of the fishermen until Spanish authorities release two of their colleagues from custody in Spain.
So what we have here is an entire ecology of pirates, and victims , and security personal trained to deliver ransoms , and the whole nine yards. And they're demanding the pirates you did catch get returned or they'll do nasties to the hostages they have at the moment. Which are many . Because they've been at this for a long , long time.
Now how did we ever arrive at this point , you wonder ?
It's simple.
They paid the ransom.
And the pirates found the money good. So they did it again , and again , and again. And more and more joined the pack, until it became a huge wealthy industry not only on the pirate side, but on the victim side as well, as all sorts of security experts had to be hired on because of it.
Very profitable all around.
Unless your the customer trying to buy the goods being shipped on those boats and wondering why the price is so high all of a sudden ?
Unless those goods are actually needed to save lives (weapons , medicine , food , you get the idea).
Unless your economy depends on trade and you have people starving on the street because you can't afford to feed them because all trade is blocked by pirates.
Thank you for demonstrating to us all why you should not pay the ransom. Now the only question is what will the toll in blood be to shut this place down. You've let it run for quite a while so I'm certain the body count will be rather high.
Just as I'm certain there isn't any choice in the matter.

Your X-Box is not Your X-Box
Microsoft disconnects Xbox gamers
Thousands of gamers may have been cut off from Microsoft's online gaming service Xbox Live for modifying their consoles to play pirated games.
Oohhh..you can only play microsoft games , not anyone elses.
Microsoft has not said how it was able to determine which gamers to disconnect.
"We do not reveal specifics, but can say that all consoles have been verified to have violated the terms of use," the firm said in a statement.
And how did you verify six hundred thousand x-boxes without the cops kicking in six hundred thousand doors ? I'll tell you how. The X-Box is running spyware , courtesy of microsoft, to see everything you're doing. And to make sure you only run microsoft products , not some other guys products.
This X-Box you bought , you didn't buy it. You just rented it. It's not really your property. And Big Brother Bill Gates is watching your every move.

Pirates get a taste of Microsoft COFEE
Article
Microsoft's Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor (COFEE) has made it into the hands of pirates, and their virtual ships are distributing it quickly for everyone to get a taste. The COFEE application uses common digital forensics tools to help law enforcement officials at the scene of a crime gather volatile evidence of live computer activity that would otherwise be lost in a traditional offline forensic analysis. In other words, it lets officers grab data from password-protected or encrypted sources. That means you can now break the law twice over: download the software and then use it to steal information from other people's computers.
For those of you who think you're clever, encrypting your files , setting up passwords, things like that. I have news for you.
You've been back stabbed from day one.
The USA requires all encryption programs to have a back door so the cops can get in fast, and that tool has now been stolen and is available on the web at large.
Once they figure out how to put it in a virus , banking information will be the high priority target. Kiss your online shopping spree's good bye.
Now we must write our own encryption.
Or just don't keep anything on your computer at all . Programs on the computer, documents on the memory stick. Memory stick goes on your key chain and follows you around wherever you go.

Disturbing Caller
Article = none, personal experiance.
I was at work the other day , talking to an american customer, waiting for test results to come back on his phone, when the topic of american health care came up.
Apparently americans believe in "managed health care", which means that someone decides who lives and who dies, where to spend the money , etc etc.
Apparently , this is inferior to "paid health care" where the rich pay their own medical bills and the poor are kicked to the curb. Well , the guy had a pricy phone so I guess I know where he stands on the rich vs poor issue.
In order to keep my job , I just agreed with whatever silliness he said.
but still, I can't help but think how brainwashed these americans are. Their health care is making billions in profits, and people are getting kicked to the curb with no treatment at all , just abandonned to die. Why ? Because of some myth of "managed health care, just like canada".
I got news for you buddy , Canada doesn't dump anyone on the street. And you get health care until the point where you stop breathing. Hows that for Managed Healthcare ?
The lies big business tells down there. Unbelievable. In canada they'd be sued into the ground for neglect causing death. They're profiting and the people they pretend to protect are dying.
If that aint Evil , I don't know what is.

In Death We Trust
Ont. will probe H1N1 doses given to private clinic
Ontario's health minister says the province will look into the decision to give doses of the H1N1 vaccine to a private clinic in Toronto, but not until after they have a grip on the pandemic.
Deb Matthews says she is not going to second guess the decision by Toronto's medical officer of health to give Medcan, described as a preventative health-care clinic, 3,000 doses of the vaccines for its high-paying members.
Medcan has said it may offer the vaccine to non-members who come equipped with a referral from public health officials.
CountryGirl wrote in comment to this ...
I have heard that the actual injection and dose of H1N1 vaccine was FREE at this expensive private clinic....and that the ASSESSMENT of the patient's NEED for the vaccine cost about $2300.00. And this was after the patient's car was parked by the valet parking staff.
Hmmmm......
So Whats the motto of this clinic ? In Death We Trust ?
Welcome to the Liberal Dream of Americanization of the Canadian Health Care system (Liberals are currently in power in ontario , and have been for several elections). If you're rich , you get want you want. If you're poor , they kick you to the curb and let you die.
This clinic needs to be shut down. This kind of profiteering is not just scandleous, it's a violation of our national belief in equality for all.
Shut the place down.

Yet Another Liberal Program
Liberals urge more internet, cellphone competition
The Liberals are calling for stronger competition and rules on internet and cellphone services.
This sounds wonderful. So whats the problem ?
The problem is the gun registry that the Liberals made. It was supposed to cost 2 million dollars, it's now 2 billion and it barely functions. It has in fact blocked the progress of a real gun registry.
And the Liberals defend it tooth and nail , you are wasting billions of tax dollars if you shut it down yadda yadda ... and the darn thing cost a fortune to run and will eventually die anyways. But the Liberal friends you can be certain are getting rich on this project.
This is what happens when the Liberals "vow" to fight the gun problem in Canada. Suddenly things balloon to a thousand times what they should cost, and they still don't work. And you can't afford them ,but they kick and scream and it's just a huge scam and we're all sick of it.
And now they want to do it again with the cell phones.
Another 2 billion will be wasted.
And nothing will be done to restrain the friends of the Liberals (any big business contributing to their election coffers) from doing any thing they please.
No wonder they're frequently called the Fiberals.

Dziekanski's mother sues over airport Taser death
Article
Robert Dziekanski's mother is suing the federal and provincial governments, four RCMP officers and the Vancouver International Airport for the loss of her son.
Dziekanski died minutes after he was shocked up to five times with a Taser by the RCMP in the arrivals lounge of the airport two years ago.
The lawsuit names the four RCMP officers involved, Const. Kwesi Millington, Const. Bill Bentley, Const. Gerry Rundel and Cpl. Benjamin (Monty) Robinson, but none of them have been charged with any offence in relation to Dziekanski's death.
This is like the OJ simpson trial, where everyone knows these jackles are guilty but they get off scott free with murder. Now she's gonna sue them for some silly reason like not reading hte instructions on their Taser manual or something.
Despite the fact they were caught on camera committing the murder.
It's a joke. A sick joke. Four murders wandering around free. And we the people of canada are their lawful prey , they can off us any time they like.
As long as they do it with a Taser.

New York Times Sick Humour
Ok. First some explanation.
They arrested a guy because they thought maybe he might be a terrorist.
They put him in jail (guantanama bay ) for 7 years with all the other
terrorists.
Now they know he's innocent , but they don't want to release him because
he's been exposed to terrorists (in their jail ) for seven years so
even if he was innocent to start, he's probably a die hard terrorist now.
So they want to keep him locked away forever.
Sick eh ?
Now read how the great and wonderful New York Times explains this self
same situation.
A Detainee’s Case Shows the Hurdles That a Release Poses
According to them, all the perpetrators of this horrible crime come up smelling of roses. Sick sick sick.
They arrested a guy because they thought maybe he might be a terrorist.
They put him in jail (guantanama bay ) for 7 years with all the other
terrorists.

Now read how the great and wonderful New York Times explains this self
same situation.
A Detainee’s Case Shows the Hurdles That a Release Poses
According to them, all the perpetrators of this horrible crime come up smelling of roses. Sick sick sick.
Why America is Losing the War
Report Cites Firefight as Lesson on Afghan War
A few days later, they were almost overrun by 200 insurgents.
That firefight, a debacle that cost nine American lives in July 2008, has become the new template for how not to win in Afghanistan
Ok. You were attacked by 200 insurgents. And you beat them off. And you took 9 casualties.
I would portray this as a victory.
But the New York Times has decided to portray this as a defeat. What went wrong. Almost overrun. Debacle. Who messed up ? Who's the blame ?
America is losing , because it has decided to lose. Every thing, even ridiculous victories like this , is now portrayed as if it had been a shattering defeat.
How badly where they out numbered ? And they only took 9 casualties, and it's pretty much a certainty that the insurgents took a lot more than 9. More like 90, but that isn't mentioned.
This is an astounding victory. The New York Times is mourning a debacle that cost the lives of 9 soldiers, and looking to blame everyone in sight.
This is why you lost. Because you choose to lose.

Rogers Raises it's Fees (and hides the "system access" fee )
Rogers Wireless drops system access fee
Rogers Wireless has announced that, effective October 5th, it will be ending its $6.95 System Access Fee for all new customers.
In its place Rogers will be increasing the base price of all plans by $5 a month and be introducing a new Government Regulatory fee which will vary based on government fees in the province customers live.
You're dropping one fee and raising the prices on everything to cover it.
So you didn't actually drop anything , you just shuffled it around.
The regulatory fee on Voice Plans will range from $2.58 per month in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec to $3.46 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
And at the same time you're introducing a new fee that is at least 2.58$. So 5$ +2.58 = 7.58 increase , minimum, to replace a 6.95$ fee that you're dropping.
So you're raising the fee's not dropping them.
Rogers says the price changes are expected to be revenue neutral which means the amount of money Rogers collects from all of its customers will be about the same. Individual customers signing up after October 5th may see slightly higher or slightly lower prices depending on which province they live.
Rogers obviously can't add up it's own numbers. Plus the government stopped charging companies for the system access fee ages ago so that's going straight into rogers pockets not the governments.

I'm such a special kind of guy
Article = none, personal experience.
Before we begin I need to clear up two points.
One. I'm a guy. What lies between my legs lies between every ordinary guys legs. This becomes important shortly.
Two , why do they call it "Little Timmy" ?
I had an itch down there. But I'm on anti-biotics, so it couldn't be much right ? Right ? So I put up with it and hopefully it would go away. Two or three weeks, probably way too long , and it didn't go away.
Finally went to the clinic across the street. It had just openned up and the wait wasn't very long, unlike the old clinic that had up and moved.
So I go in , do my time waiting , and then see the doc. He says to me two words.
Yeast Infection.
Which of course, is considered a womans only disease , though certain un circumscribed men can fall victem to it (I"m circumscribed).
And I say to him five words.
I'm gonna kill my wife.
She just had it. Guess where I got it from ? So he perscribes some medicine and admits yeah it was probably my wife, and yeah it is very very rare for a man to get it , and I head off to the pharmacy to get me some meds.
And the Pharmicist wants to talk to me about "my wifes" problem. And he wants to explain to me how to use the applicator to insert the medicine deep inside. And I cut to the chase and tell him it aint for my wife it's for me. And he says but men don't get this disease.
I know. I feel so special.
No really , there must be a mistake somewhere.
I know. The doctor told me. There's no mistake.
By then we were both laughing like idiots.
So I take it home and I look at this tube of gunk, this weird looking applicator , and these instructions with drawings of butt naked women all over them. "Wow...this is excellent pornography !"
My wife tells me to hush.
I go in the bathroom , do the deed (without the applicator) , and then come out. Tell my wife "Now I feel like a real woman. "
She has no sense of humor.
