name the player,or post whatever you friggin' want

haha. nice.

 

It really is amzing how you have different worlds that co-exist in the city. You have very educated people with great careers paying upwards of $3000 a month rent to live in an 800 sq foot condo. Then you have the homeless living in cardboard boxes.
Really puts things in perspective and makes the city look more human.

 

skinny me and a friend were discussing that last night. new apts just completed by me. the lowest 1 bedroom is $1700 a month. 2 bedrooms are $2200 and up. who can afford that ? it's not Manhattan. It's not even downtown Philly. I'm in the suburbs! i would love to get a bigger place bc my place is tiny but im not dishing out $1700 a month or over $2000! if i did I WOULD BE SLEEPING IN A CARDBOARD BOX !

 

$1700 a month is right in line with suburb prices here for a 1 bedroom 600 sq foot condo.

 

A few years ago (2015), my (now ex) wife and I were paying $3300/mo on a 2-BR in Tribeca. In the LES back in 2012, my 1BR went for $2400. My 2-BR house in Rockaway is $2100.

It's tough to find anything really good in NYC under $2K/month.

 

Anything near Central Park, Times Square, Greenwhich or Wall Street is probably up the roof. Now many parts of Brooklyn are crazy too.
The DT core here is about $4 a sq foot to rent, Suburbs $3 and other areas with buildings over 40 years old and poorly run with high crime could go for as little as $1 a sq ft.

 

Anyways, the whole point of my post wasn't about the cost of living. A lot of times talking to the homeless, they come across much more normal than the $100k a year know-it-all dolt.

 

600 sq ft ? jeez. even the rats don't have any room to move around !

 

were you and the ex printing $100 dollar bills in the backroom or robbing banks on the side? wow. how the hell do you afford that? you both must have good jobs?

 

I work in high-value (HV) logistics. I provide solutions for people to move art and dec arts (and other property) from one place to another (globally). Company's mother office is in London.
Ex (still) works for NBC/Universal - Director of UX/Design for their on-line product.

 

i was only kidding Halo. I'm sure and your ex are very smart and educated people. Your rent is a lot for anyone to afford.

 

Planned Parenthood Killed 321,384 Babies Last Year Bringing Total Killed to Over 7.6 Million

https://californiafamily.org/2018/p...NRFEf6B1PPthN6wh_pS7jeWEylJLpYt9zqGS7B1XRNo60

gadzooks that number is high as fuck !

 

PP doesn't kill babies. That headline is sensationalized. New Headline: Planned Parenthood saves over 300K women from bringing unwanted or life-altering mistakes into the world.

 

600 sq feet for one person that doesn't spend a lot of time there is good.

 

ouch. they could always put it up for adoption ?

 

Frank, I do not believe that a L4S hockey board is an appropriate venue for this discussion. (I also acknowledge that you did not initiate this discussion.)

I intend to respond to your comment - one time. Your comment can be taken very easily as the one that sensationalizes the topic when you utilize the terms "unwanted (life)" and "life-altering mistakes". There are some that maintain that humans have little to zero right to make these decisions when it regards someone other than themselves. That is to say, that there are some that maintain that no individual as the right to make the choice for another living being. No one is ceded the power to determine matters of who should live and who should not live, i.e., who should die, when it comes to another living being. The dignity of human life is being destroyed when some get to categorize some human lives as "unwanted" (by whom?) and as "mistakes". The matter of defining when a life becomes a matter of another human being is, perhaps, philosophical, but it clearly has not been decided by society, and I reject that a woman has a unilateral right to make this decision for her (still unborn) child.

I do not really care if anyone likes or dislikes my opinion on this matter. But I categorically reject the notion that this opinion is somehow wrong, and that it is based on a mistake. Rather, I believe that it violates the dignity of human life to support your contentions. I will not respond any further to this on a hockey message board.

 

Dan, you are correct and we’ve had a face to face conversation about this as well. I apologize for sounding crude or sanctimonious. The topic is a sensitive one across all channels.

 

The spirit of this thread is to shoot from hip and go somewhat lighthearted. Better to stay away from hot button topics as theological and political debates/opinions.

 

i apologize to all as i didn't think my post was inappropriate for this board considering the other non-hockey topics we've spoken of on here. like the thread says "post anything you frigging want." i didn't take that as a non-exclusive topic list. i'll keep it off the taboo topics and get back to random non-threatening topics.

 

No need to apologize, just belongs on the politics thread.
